Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space

Kids bunk beds are a great way to maximize space while saving money on separate rooms. Find beds with solid foundations and mattress supports that eliminate gaps or areas that children might get stuck or caught.

The method by which the bed can be accessible is also crucial. Bunk beds are typically accessible via ladders or stairs and angled ladders take less space than standard vertical ladders.

Space-saving Design

The majority of bunk beds are twin over full or queen over twin configurations, meaning that your children can share a bed while having their own space. A bunk bed for three is a great option, especially when you intend to use the lower bunk for a playroom or office during the day.

Easy Climbing Ladder

Consider a ladder that has handhole cutouts and anti-slip grooves to allow children to hold onto the ladder while they climb.
