Kids Beds Bunk Beds
Bunk beds can be a great solution for maximizing the space in a bedroom that is small. Children enjoy them for the challenge of climbing to the top and for having the ability to look over their friends heads.
This bunk bed is constructed out of eco-friendly New Zealand pine wood and is free of phthalates (it is free of DEHP, DBP, BPA, or PBDE). It also comes in various finishes and can be separated into two separate beds when your children outgrow it.
Ladders
A ladder or staircase will provide the most secure way for children to access their bunk bed. Ladders are available in a range of styles and configurations, from basic twin over twin designs that accommodate every child on both the top and bottom to full over queen or even double over double bunks. They also come in different sizes to make sure your children feel at ease climbing to the top. Ladders can be permanently affixed to the frame, or removable in some models. They could also have a railing so that the children sleeping on top of the ladder don't fall off.
Look into a bunk bed with an end ladder for those who want to make space. Instead of the standard ladder that extends from the frame's side the ladder is attached to the other end of the bed, opening up room on either side to accommodate seating or other furniture for the bedroom. These bunks are perfect for rooms that are shared or have tight spaces and it is easy to switch up the layout as your children get older.
Ladders can be a great choice for older kids who are experienced climbers and can safely use them. They are affordable and provide easy access to the top bunk. They are also an ideal choice for smaller kids, especially those with mobility issues and joint issues. When looking for a bunk bed with a ladder, you should look for features like hand holes as well as anti-slip grooved steps.
Stairs however are a more traditional means of accessing the top bunk. They are safer for children, and also for adults who don't want to risk falling off the top bunk. They are also smaller than bunk bed ladders which makes them a great choice for rooms with limited space.

Stairs
When it comes to children's bunk beds, there are a lot of options for design and functionality. From traditional twin over twin designs to full-over futon designs, there are plenty of different configurations to choose from that will fit in perfectly with any decor. These beds also come with many options, including staircases and storage space.
If you have space in your child's bedroom bunk beds with stairs can be a great option. The stairs make it easier and safer for them to access the top bunk, especially if they're young and still learning how to co-ordinate. They also allow parents to get to the top bunk to read to their children, or do other activities.
Our collection of kids stair loft beds includes many models with an integrated staircase that allows you to easily climb into the bed at night. Some models have a futon or trundle underneath the stairs for extra storage or sleeping space. This is ideal for when you are hosting guests or if your kids want to use it for studying or relaxing.
When you are choosing a bunk bed with stairs, it is important to be aware of the safety guidelines for kids' beds. Children must be at least six years old before they sleep on the top bunk and they should be confident enough to navigate the ladder in a safe manner. If your child is younger than this, you may be better to have a bunk bed or loft without stairs until they are ready for the top bunk.
If you're tight in space, but want to give your kids the advantage of sleeping in the same space, an ordinary twin-over-twin bunk is a fantastic option. The bunks are equipped with a range of climbing options, including leaning ladders as well as standard ladders. They also come with metal or wooden guard rails at the top. There are bunk beds that have storage or a trundle to fit guests and sleepovers.
Separate Beds
A bunk bed is great for kids who live in a shared room and want to conserve space by making two beds into one. It's important to be aware that some children may not be ready to sleep on the top bunk until they are at the age of six and 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.
A lot of the loft systems we offer include beds with low-levels for children younger than the age of 5, as well as a full size bed on the lower level for older children. This gives both children their own spaces to sleep, study or play, and allows parents to make use of the space underneath the beds to put in additional children furniture, such as an office, dresser or storage. For even more functionality you can opt for an loft that has a desk or a built-in desk with plenty storage underneath.
There are also some designs that include separate twin beds for each child who is on the upper level of the bunk bed, which is a great option if kids will continue to share a space after they've outgrown their cribs and toddler beds. These are known as twin over twin bunk beds and come in a range of styles, from traditional to modern. Many of these bunk beds also come with an ordinary ladder or staircase to allow easy access to the higher level and the trundle bed which can be slid out and pulled from underneath the lower twin mattress for sleepovers.
Be aware that some children might change their minds at any time and decide to choose a twin bed instead of a bunk. It's important to plan out your children's bedroom in advance, so you can determine if a bunk bed will be the best choice. Fortunately, the majority of bunk beds for kids convert easily into single-story twin beds to give each child their own space for rest and relaxation.
Age Rating
There is no universal age that indicates when a child is ready to sleep in a bunk bed. Most children are ready to move up to a top bunk when they outgrow their toddler bed and possess enough dexterity and prudence to safely navigate a 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.
When determining whether a child is ready to sleep in a bunk bed, it's important to also consider their maturity level. They should be able to understand the importance of following the safety rules and should have the physical ability required to climb to the top bunk. Additionally when roommates or siblings will be sharing the bunk bed, consider their relationship and how they are able to get together.
The most important thing to consider when choosing a bunk bed for your child is the overall quality and safety features. Make sure that the bunk bed has sturdy guard rails that are secured on both sides of the bed and that the ladder is secured. It is important that the height and length of the ladder from the ground to the top bunk are appropriate for the child's height. Make sure that the space is spacious enough to allow plenty of mobility, and that the bed isn't in the way of windows or doors.
It is essential to consider the security of a bed prior to installing it in your child's bedroom. If you're not sure if your child is mature enough to make use of bunk beds, consult an expert in pediatrics.
Bunk beds are an excellent way to save space in a child's room and also create an atmosphere of camaraderie between siblings. Parents should be cautious to determine if a child is ready to utilize a bunk bed. This is especially important for the top bunk.
