Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for kids are a great option to save money and maximize space. Look for models with sturdy foundations and mattress supports that eliminate gaps or areas where children could become trapped or stuck.
Another factor to consider is how the bed can be accessible: bunks are usually equipped with ladders or stairs, with angled ladders taking up less room than standard vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are the perfect way to maximize a small space. If you're looking for a way to decorate an attic bedroom or the most compact room in your home, bunks for kids can help you save floor space without sacrificing any comfort or style. Most bunk beds have twin over full or twin over queen configurations so your kids can sleep side by side while enjoying their own space. A bunk bed for three is also 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 come with a ladder 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 be no higher than 5-6 feet from the ceiling. This will prevent bumps on heads while making sure that the child who is sleeping on the top bunk doesn't get too high up.

To climb, kids simply set their feet on each step one at a time and then move their bodies upwards until they reach the top bunk. For even more safety, choose a ladder that has grooved anti-slip steps and hand hole cutouts that make it easier for children to hold onto as they climb.
