Kids Beds Bunk Beds
Bunk beds are ideal for maximizing the space of a small room. The challenge of climbing to the top is what kids love about them. They also enjoy being able to see the heads of their friends.
The bunk bed is constructed of eco-friendly New Zealand pine wood and is free of phthalates (it does not contain DEHP, DBP, BPA or PBDE). It is also available in a variety of colors and is able to be divided into two separate beds when your children have outgrown it.
Ladders
A staircase or ladder is the safest way for children to get access to their bunk beds. Ladders come in many different styles and configurations. From the standard twin over twin beds that can be used by children on top and bottom, to full over queen or double over double bunks. They also come in different sizes to ensure that your children feel at ease climbing to the top. Ladders can be fixed in the frame or removable in some models. They may also include a railing to ensure that kids sleeping on top don't fall while sleeping.
Look into a bunk bed with a ladder at the end in order to make space. In contrast to the standard ladder which extends from the side of the frame the ladder attaches to one end of the bed, freeing space on either side to accommodate seating or other furniture for the bedroom. These bunks are ideal for small spaces or rooms that are shared. You can easily alter the layout of these bunks as your children grow.
Ladders are a great option for older children who are experienced climbers and are able to safely navigate them. They are affordable and provide easy access to the upper bunk. They also provide a safer option for younger children, especially those who have joint problems or mobility issues. If you're searching for a bunk with an incline, look for features such as grooved anti-slip steps and hand holes that help climb easier.
Stairs are a more traditional way to access the top bunk. They are safe for young kids, and they are also a great choice for adults who want to avoid the risk of falling off the bunk during their climb. They are also smaller than ladders for bunk beds, making them a good choice for small rooms.

Stairs
There are a variety of options when it comes to the design and function of bunk beds designed for kids. There are numerous choices to pick from including twin over twin and full over futon designs. They will blend seamlessly into any decor. They also come with a range of options, including storage space and staircases.
If you have space in the bedroom of your child and you have stairs, bunk beds can be a great option. These stairs make it safer and easier for them to get to the top bunk, especially if they're young and still learning to coordinate. They also give parents more access to the top bunk if they need to come up with their children for a bedtime story or other activities.
Many of the kids loft beds we have in our collection come with an inbuilt staircase that makes the climb to bed at night easy. There are other options with an trundle drawer, or a futon designs underneath the stairs to give you more storage or sleeping space. This is ideal for when you host guests or for your kids to use it for studying or relaxing.
When selecting a bunk bed that has stairs, it's important to keep in mind the recommended safety guidelines for children's beds. Children should be at least six years old before they sleep on the top bunk, and they should be able to walk the ladder in a safe manner. If your child is younger than six years old, you may prefer an loft bed or a bunk beds that don't have stairs until your child is old enough to climb the top bunk.
A standard twin-overtwin bunk is an excellent option if you're limited on space, but still want your children to sleep together in the same room. These bunks come with a range of climbing options, including ladders that lean and standard ladders. They also come with metal or wooden guard rails at the top. There are bunk beds with storage space or a trundle for guests and sleepovers.
Separate Beds
A bunk bed is a great option for kids who wish to share a bedroom and conserve space. It's important to know that some children may not be ready for the top bunk until they're at least six years old and are comfortable sleeping high off the ground. Consider a loft bed, or loft bed that has a lower platform for storing things, or even a desk for children.
Many of our complete loft systems include low-level beds on the lower level for children who are younger and a larger bed on top for the older kids. The kids have their own space to sleep, study and play, and allows parents to make use of the floor space beneath the beds to put in additional children furniture such as an office, dresser or storage. For even more functionality, opt for a loft system that features an office or a built-in desk that has plenty of storage space underneath.
There are some designs that include separate twin beds for each child who is on the upper level of the bunk bed which is a good option when kids are expected to share a room even after they've outgrown their cribs or toddler beds. These are referred to as twin over twin bunk bed styles and come in a range of styles, from traditional to modern. Many of these designs include an ordinary staircase or ladder to allow access to upper levels, as well a trundle that can be removed from underneath the twin bed for sleepovers.
Be aware that some kids might change their preferences in time and decide to have a separate twin bed instead of bunk beds. It's important to plan out the bedroom of your child in advance, so you can determine if a bunk bed will be the best choice. Most bunk beds for kids can be converted easily into twin beds for each child.
Age Rating
There is no age at which a child will be ready to sleep in a bunk bed. Most children are ready for the top bunk when they outgrow their toddler bed and have enough dexterity and judgement to safely navigate the ladder. Children as young as 5 or 6 years old could be successful in the top bunk when they are able to maintain excellent coordination and balance.
It is also essential to consider the maturity level of a child when determining whether they are ready for a bunk bed. They must understand the importance of adhering to safety rules and have the physical ability to use the top bunk without assistance. In addition, if siblings or roommates will be sharing the bunk bed, consider their relationship and how they get along.
When choosing a bunkbed for kids the most important factor to take into consideration is its overall quality and safety features. The bunk bed should be equipped with sturdy guard rails both on the sides of the mattress and the ladder must be securely attached. It is also essential that the ladder's height and the distance from the ground to the top of the bunk are appropriate for a child's current height. Make sure you leave enough space for the child to move around and ensure that the bunk bed isn't blocking doors or windows.

It is important to consider the safety of a bed before installing it in your child's room. If you are unsure whether your child is ready for a bunk bed, consider consulting with a pediatrician or specialist in youth furniture to assess their age and safety standards.
Bunk beds are an excellent way to save space in a child's room and also encourage the bonding between siblings. Parents should be cautious to assess a child's readiness to utilize bunk beds. This is especially true for the top bunk.
