Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for kids are a great choice to save money while maximizing space. Choose models with solid foundations and mattress supports to avoid gaps or spaces where children may become stuck or entangled.
Another factor to consider is how the bed can be accessible: bunks are usually equipped with stairs or ladders and angled ladders take up less room than standard vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds can be the ideal way to maximize space in a small space. Bunk beds for kids are a great option to free up space in a small space or attic. They also provide comfort and style. The majority of bunk beds come with twin over full or twin over queen configurations, so your children can sleep side-by-side while still having their own space. A bunk bed for three is also a great option, especially when you intend to use the lower bunk for a playroom or office during the day.
Most bunk beds have a ladder or staircase built into the frame. The ladder's height should not exceed 5-6 feet from the ceiling for safety reasons. This is to avoid bumped heads while making sure that the child who is sleeping on the top bunk doesn't get too high.
If you want to keep your kids' bedroom furniture in style, consider choosing a wooden bunk bed that has stairs. This will not only add an additional stylish element to the room of your child, but it also offers ample storage space for every book, toy and items they'll require to put away.
Some bunks also have the possibility of expanding from a standard bed to the futon. This lets your kids utilize the lower bunk bed as a couch during the daytime and then pull out the top futon for a comfortable sleeping area at night. This kind of bunk bed is perfect if you have enough space and your kids are old enough to handle the additional sleeping surface.
If you do not have the space to accommodate the traditional bunk bed, think about a corner loft or corner bunk. These beds are set in the corner of your kids' room, which leaves the space for other furniture, such as shelves or dressers. Additionally, some bunks have beds that have desks attached, which makes it easy for your little children to complete their homework while sitting up in bed. This can help them focus and develop good habits for studying.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are the ideal solution for kids who prefer to sleep in separate rooms, but do not have the space to have two separate rooms. Most of our beds come with an incline to make it easier for children to access the top bunk. This is more secure than climbing up the sides of the bunk bed, which can be risky. Children should only climb on the top bunk when they are able to safely climb it. This usually happens at least six years of age.
Although many parents are enticed to purchase bunk beds with straight ladders, we suggest choosing beds that have angled ladders for more security and ease of use. These ladders offer a smoother climbing experience, and they're also easier to grasp. To climb, children simply put their feet on each rung one at a time and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. Think about a ladder that comes with anti-slip grooves and handhole cutouts to make it easier for children to grip the ladder as they climb.
If you're seeking an option that is permanent, there are many different types of stairs that can be permanently mounted to the frame of bunk beds. The stairs are equipped with an edging around the staircase to offer additional security. They also have a larger tread that stops people from sliding and falling. You can select a set with built-in drawers to give it an appealing appearance. This is a great choice to keep your child's space neat and tidy.
A loft bed that doesn't have a ladder connecting it to the bottom bunk is another option to reduce space. This gives more space for kids to play and sleep on. These loft and bunk beds often resemble a fun treehouse, making them an excellent choice for children who love spending time outdoors. Some of our bunk and loft beds include a slide to add an extra spark of excitement.
Extra Storage
A variety of loft beds and bunk beds provide additional storage options that can help children keep their rooms neat and tidy. They can store clothes, books toys, and other items vertically, saving valuable floor space. These beds work well with both modern and traditional bedroom styles. Explore the assortment of twin over full bunk beds at Pottery Barn Kids to find the perfect bed for your child's needs and style of their room.
The classic Maxtrix loft bed with drawers can be used as a storage solution to the bunk beds your child sleeps in. It uses two spacious drawers that can be used to store clothes and shoes, bedtime essentials and other items. The drawers have unidirectional casters which make it simple for children to open and close them. This is a great option for kids who share a room. It allows them to keep the belongings of each other from one another.
This Maxtrix loft bed also has a built-in desk as well as a an hutch to create a practical study area. The solid wood desk for kids easily pulls out from underneath the bed and folds up when not in use, thus preserving the space for play. It's an ideal solution for kids who like to craft all day or use computers for homework assignments.
If it's time for bed, the bottom bunk of this Maxtrix can be converted into a comfy sofa. This is a great option for kids who enjoy having friends over for sleepovers or for parents who are seeking to reduce the size of their guest room. This twin over futon option is also ideal for children who are transitioning to regular beds from cribs.
Kids who love to climb and have a lot of energy will appreciate the unique design and practicality of a bunk or loft bed. These beds are a fun alternative to traditional bedroom furniture.

There are also options that include a storage trundle and ladder for guests to sleep on, making it possible to accommodate the evolving needs of a family within one bedroom.
Fun Slide
The fun of bunk beds for kids can be enhanced even further with the addition of slide. The excitement of kids racing down the top bunk encourages imaginative play and activity which makes it easier for them to fall asleep at time of night.
Bunk beds with slides are an excellent way to combine play and sleep in the same space, perfect for shared kid's rooms and growing families. Kids can race up the ladder, then slide down the slide. This can bring hours of fun to their space.
Our unique bunk and loft bed models with slide are available in twin-over-full size which means they can be a perfect fit in most bedrooms, and can be divided to make two standard beds at a later date. This bunk bed frame comes in a natural finish, however, it can be purchased with a White or Chestnut finish.
For rooms with limited space, our bunk beds with slides include the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower, which can be connected to either the side of the ladder or the front of the bunk bed frame. The slide can extend up to 190 cm, depending on the height of the assembly. A 70-cm exit opening is required.
