10 Basics About Kids Bunk Beds With Storage You Didn't Learn In School

Kids Bunk Beds With Storage

Add style and functionality to bedrooms for kids with bunk beds. Certain models -- like this one from Harriet Bee, which has lower beds that are set on the floor--are ideal for smaller rooms with low ceilings.

Twin-over-twin bunks are also ideal for cramped rooms, as are loft beds with storage or an trundle for sleepovers. Find beds that have a standard ladder or stairs that can accommodate underbed drawers or shelves.

Size

Kids bunk beds come in different sizes based on the size and the height of the room. In general, they fit two twin mattresses on the top of each other. They also come with a side ladder that allows access to the upper level. Bunk beds for children are a great option to increase storage space and make the most of space in small spaces. They are also a fun and fashionable option for sharing bedrooms.

For teenagers and older children loft beds is a great option for bedrooms. Loft beds for children are like bunk beds, but without the lower mattress. They offer additional space for floor space and can be used to create a cozy work area. You can use the space beneath the loft style bunk beds to store books, art and craft equipment, and other necessities.

Another popular choice for bunk beds for kids with storage is a futon-style. These are usually sized to accommodate a twin mattress on the bottom and an XL futon mattress on top, so they are very comfortable for sleeping. The futon can be used by children to watch television and play games or relax. They can also sleep on top mattress.

Maxtrix's Star loft bed is a great option for bunk beds for kids that offer extra storage. The bed comes with an inbuilt desk for kids that includes a three drawers for storage to store books, art supplies and other items. The angle of the ladder makes it much easier and safer to climb up or down as compared to the standard bunk bed side ladder and the stairs double as storage.

In addition to bunk and loft beds, many of our kids' bunk beds include a separate standalone storage platform. These are great for storing clothes, toys and other household items that might not fit in the bedroom. They feature solid, solid wood construction, and can be painted to match the décor of the room.

For those who have a small bedroom space, we have the triple bunk bed, which combines two twin-sized beds which makes it smaller than traditional bunk beds.

You can also choose from loft beds that have shelves or drawers to stash books, toys and more. The addition of a desk for your child or table beneath a bunk bed will give your child a perfect space to work on homework and projects.

For more versatility, a complete loft system like the Star is a great option.

Many of our kids bunk beds with storage are made of solid and sturdy wood and designed with safety in mind. They're inspected and verified to meet strict safety standards. They also have full-length guardrails on top bunk to ensure that kids are secure at night. Some have stairs with side rails to avoid falls while climbing up or down. If you're looking for a low-profile bunk bed with storage, choose models with stairs that are placed far from each other and have wooden slat supports, so box springs don't have to be used.

If your children are older and prefer sleeping apart, you can choose a twin-over full kids loft bed with trundle. This set-up has two twin-sized beds at the bottom and a trundle beneath the lower bed that can be used by guests.

Safety

Bunk beds are space-saving and are a popular choice for children's bedrooms, but they must be constructed and placed in a way to ensure security. The top bunk comes with full length guardrails to keep children from falling. Stairs and ladders can be used instead of climbing directly onto the bed. The frame must be strong to prevent collapse and meet strict requirements to prevent entrapment and structural failure.

It is recommended to look for a bunkbed that has built-in storage and drawers to minimize the clutter under every sleeping area. These will make it easier for children to fall asleep and get ready for school in the morning, but you should make sure they keep their belongings off the bed. Also, discourage rough play in or around the bunks to avoid injuries.

The best bunk bed that has storage for kids meets stringent safety certifications, and features full-length guardrails on the top to prevent children from falling off. The bed frame should be strong enough to support the weight of children and adults without sagging or collapsing and the ladder or stairs should be easy to access and provide stable feet.

Many bunk beds come with a contemporary traditional, classic, or style that is compatible with all furniture in the bedroom and some have unique features and accents. For example, curved trim or paneling on the footboard and headboard or tapered feet offer an individual look. You can pick from a variety of colors like smoked gray, dark Tuscan grain wood or the classic white.

Make sure the bunk bed is away from ceiling fans in order to avoid injuries or accidents. Think about securing the bed to the wall in order to prevent it from tipping over.

Bunk beds are generally thought to be safe for children, but it's a good idea to limit their use for children younger than 6. Children younger than 6 may not be mature enough or have the responsibility to safely sleep in a top bunk. In addition, parents should always monitor children using the bunk bed and instruct children on how to climb up and down the ladder or stairs.

Storage

Bunk beds maximize space, giving the possibility of doubling (or even triple) the number of sleeping accommodations in a room, while taking up less floor area than two separate beds would. Add the convenience of storage, and you've got a  bunk bed for kids  with a hefty punch.


The majority of bunk beds are equipped with one or more drawers that aid your child in staying organized and tidy while they sleep. This makes a bunk bed that has storage the most space-saving bedroom furniture solution.

Some bunk beds have an integrated ladder that makes it easier for kids to climb into and out the top bed. Other beds, such as this one from Harriet Bee, have a ladder that can be slid neatly beside the bed frame without eating up as much floor space as steps or a slide.

A bunk bed for kids with slides can be a lot of fun for your children and will surely bring a smile to their face every time they climb on the ladder to go to sleep. It's important to remember that bunk beds with a slide typically has a lower capacity for weight than conventional beds, so you'll need to think about how heavy your children are and the overall bunk bed weight limit prior to making a purchase.

If they grow out of the current arrangement, many  kids bunk beds  can be converted into two beds that are twin-sized or king-sized. This is a great option for families with more than one child sharing a room, and it offers the flexibility of having more rooms for guests when family or friends visit.

A bunk bed for kids with a trundle underneath is a great choice for children who love to host sleepovers but don't have a sufficient space to hold additional guests. There are a variety of sizes for this kind of bunk bed, which includes a twin trundle over a full bunk or even a queen trundle on the queen bunk. The bed at the bottom of the trundle can typically fit a regular or memory foam mattress, and most models come with a handy storage drawer built-in for stowing away clothing and other bedding.
