bunkbedsstore.uk - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for kids are a great choice to save money and maximize space. Look for models with solid foundations and mattress supports that eliminate gaps or areas where children could become trapped or stuck.
Another thing to consider is how the bed can be accessible: bunks are usually equipped with stairs or ladders and angled ladders take less space than standard vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds can be an excellent option to maximize space in a small room. Bunk beds for children are a great way to make space in a small room or attic. They also provide the comfort and style. Most bunk beds come in twin over full or queen over twin configurations, so your kids can share a bed while having their own space. A bunk bed for three is a great option, especially in the event that you plan to use the lower bunk for a playroom or office during the day.
Most bunks have ladders built into the frame or a staircase that leads to the top bunk. To ensure safety it is recommended that the ladder's height should not be more than 5 to 6 feet from the ceiling. This will avoid head bumps and ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk doesn't sleep too high.
If you're looking to keep your kids' bedroom furniture stylish look into a wooden bunk bed that has stairs. This not only provides an extra stylish touch to your kids' room however, it also offers ample storage space for every book, toy, and other knick-knack they may require to put away.
Some bunks offer the ability to expand from a standard bed to an actual futon. This lets your children make use of the lower bed as an extra sofa during the day and pull out the top futon in the evening for an incredibly comfortable bed. This type of bunk bed is ideal when you have enough space and your kids are old enough to be able to handle the extra sleeping space.
If you don't have the space for traditional bunks, look into options like a corner loft or bunk. These beds are set in the corner of your kids room, leaving the remaining space for other furniture such as shelves or dressers. Some bunk beds have an attached desk, which means that your children can complete their homework while in bed. This helps them stay focused during their study time and encourages good habits.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds are ideal for children who wish to be able to sleep independently but don't have enough space for two separate bedrooms. Most of our beds come with an incline to make it easier for kids to access the top bunk. This is safer than climbing over the sides of the bed, which could be dangerous. Children should only climb up onto the top bunk only if they are old enough to be able to do it safely, which is usually when they reach six years old.
While many parents are tempted to purchase bunk beds with straight ladders, we recommend selecting beds with angled ladders to increase security and ease of use. They provide a smoother climbing experience, and are also more comfortable to hold. To climb up, kids simply put their feet on each step one at a time and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. Look for a ladder with anti-slip grooves as well as handhole cutouts to make it easier for children to grip the ladder as they climb.
If you are looking for an option that is permanent, there are many different styles of stairways that can be fixed permanently to the frame of a bunk bed. The stairs have an edging that is placed around the staircase to provide additional security and a larger tread to prevent falls and slips. You can select an item with built-in drawers for a more decorative appearance. This is a great option to keep your child's space clean and organized.
A loft bed without a ladder that connects it to the bottom bunk is another way to save space. This leaves more room for kids to play in and sleep on. Many of these loft and bunk beds are designed to resemble a treehouse or other structures that are fun, making them a great choice for kids who love spending time outside. Some of our bunk beds and lofts have a slide that can be added for an extra touch of fun.
Extra Storage
Many bunk and loft bed options offer additional storage to ensure that children's rooms are clean. These beds use vertical space to store clothes books, toys, books and much more without taking up floor space. These beds also work well in modern and traditional bedroom designs. Pottery Barn Kids has a numerous twin over full beds that can be adapted to your child's bedroom and requirements.
A classic Maxtrix loft with drawers is an the perfect option to add more storage to your kiddo's bunk bed. It has two drawers to store clothing, shoes, bedtime essentials, and other items. The drawers are positioned on casters unidirectional making it easy for children to open and close them. This is an excellent option for kids who share rooms, since it helps to keep the belongings of one another out of reach.
This Maxtrix loft features a built-in desk and hutch to create an area for study. The solid wood desk for kids is easily removed from underneath the bed and folds back up when not in use, preserving the space to play. This is a great choice for children who like to use the computer or craft all day.
When it's time to sleep the bunk at the bottom of this Maxtrix can be transformed into a comfy sofa. This is a great option for children who want to invite their friends to sleepovers, or for parents who want to save space in their guest room. This twin over futon is also great for children who are transitioning into regular beds from cribs.
Loft beds and bunk beds are ideal for children who love climbing, and have a lot of energy. These beds provide a fun alternative to traditional bedroom furniture and are available in various styles, finishes, and configurations. There are also options that include a storage ladder or a trundle bed for sleepover guests, making it easy to accommodate the changing needs of a family's needs in a single room.
Fun Slide
The fun of bunk beds for kids can be enhanced even further by the addition of slide. The excitement of the children running down the top bunk stimulates imaginative play and activity which makes it easier for them to fall asleep at time of night.
Bunk beds with slides offer the perfect opportunity to mix play and sleep in the same space, ideal for shared rooms for children and families that are growing. Kids can climb up the ladder, then slide down the slide. This can provide hours of fun in their room.
