Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Kids bunk beds are ideal for maximising space while reducing the cost of separate rooms. Look for models that have solid foundations and mattress supports to stop gaps or spaces where children may become stuck or trapped.
The method by which the bed can be accessible is also a crucial aspect. Bunk beds are usually accessible via ladders or stairs and angled ladders use less space than standard ladders that are vertical.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are the perfect solution to maximize a small space. Whether you're looking to outfit an attic bedroom or even the most compact room in your home, bunk beds for kids can help you save floor space, without losing any style or comfort. The majority of bunk beds come in twin over full or queen over twin configurations, meaning that your kids can share a bed while still having their own space. A bunk bed for three is a great option, especially when you intend to use the lower bunk as a playroom or office during the day.
Most bunks come with an attached ladder to the frame or a staircase that leads to the top bunk. To ensure safety, the ladder's height should not exceed 5-6 feet from the ceiling. This will stop heads from bumping and ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk does not rest too high.

For even more security, you should consider a ladder with grooved steps that are anti-slip and hand holes that allow kids to hold on to as they climb.
