Kids Beds Bunk Beds
Bunk beds can be the ideal solution for maximising the space in a bedroom that is small. Children love them for the challenge of climbing to the top, and also for having the ability to look at their friends heads.
The bunk bed is constructed out of eco-friendly New Zealand pine wood and is free of phthalates (it contains no DEHP, DBP, BPA or PBDE). It is available in various finishes and is able to be split into two beds when your children have outgrown it.
Ladders
A ladder or staircase will provide the most secure method for children to reach their bunk bed. Ladders come in a variety of designs and configurations. From traditional twin over twin bunk beds that accommodate both children on top and bottom to full over queen or double over double bunks. The ladders are available in different heights so that your children can feel comfortable climbing to the top. Ladders can be permanently affixed to the frame, or are removable in some models. They could also have a railing so that the children sleeping on the ladder's top don't fall off.
Look into a bunk bed with an end ladder for those who want to save space. Unlike the standard ladder that extends from the frame's side, this type of ladder is attached to one end of the bed, which frees the space on either side for seating or other bedroom furniture. These bunks work well in small spaces or rooms that are shared. You can easily alter the layout of these bunks as your children get older.
Ladders are an excellent choice for older children who are adept climbers. They are affordable and provide easy access to the top bunk. They also make an option that is safer for smaller children, especially those with joint problems or mobility issues. If you're searching for a bunk bed with a ladder, look for features like anti-slip grooved steps and hand holes that allow for easier climbing.
Stairs however are a more common method of getting to the top bunk. They are safer for children, and also for adults who aren't keen on falling off the top bunk. They also tend to take up less space than ladders for bunk beds and are an ideal fit for smaller rooms.
It all depends on the requirements for space, the age groups, and safety concerns when it comes to choosing the right bunk bed for your kids for your family.

A lot of the kids' loft beds you'll find in our collection include an inbuilt staircase that makes climbing up to bed at night a breeze. Some models have the option of a futon or trundle beneath the stairs to give you extra storage or sleeping space. This is ideal for when guests are staying or if your kids would like to use the space for relaxing or studying.
It's important to consider the safety guidelines when selecting a bunk that has stairs for children. Kids should be at least six years old before they can sleep on the top bunk and they must be able to climb the ladder in a safe manner. If your child is younger than this, you may be better in a bunk bed or loft without stairs until they are ready for the top bunk.
If you're short on space but still want to give your children the opportunity to sleep in the same room, an ordinary twin-over-twin bunk is a great choice. These bunks are available with a variety of climbing techniques that include ladders that are leaning and standard and metal or wood guard rails that are placed on top. You'll also find a variety with additional storage space or a trundle style to accommodate guests and sleepovers.
Separate Beds
A bunk bed is an excellent option for kids who wish to share a bedroom and conserve space. It's important to note that some children may not be ready for a top bunk until at least six years of age, and are more at ease sleeping high. If your child is little younger, think about getting a loft or loft bed with a lower platform for storage or a children's desk that can be added to the set-up later on.
Many of our complete loft systems have low-level beds on the lower level for younger children and a large bed on the top level for older kids. The loft system provides each child their own space to sleep, play and study. Parents can make use of the space beneath the beds to put in additional furniture for kids like an office or dresser. Choose a loft system with a desk or built-in desk that is spacious and has plenty of storage beneath.
There are designs that have separate twin beds on the upper level for each child. This is a good option for children who will be sharing a room after they have grown out of their crib or toddler beds. These styles are often referred to as twin over twin bunk beds and come in a range of styles options, from traditional to contemporary. Many bunk bed designs also offer a standard ladder or staircase to allow easy access to the upper level, as well as a trundle bed that could be pulled out and slid from under the lower twin mattress for sleepovers.
Keep in mind that some kids may change their minds in the course of time and choose a twin bed instead of the bunk. This is why it's essential to think about your children's' bedroom layout in advance so that you can decide if or the bunk bed is the right choice. Most kids' bunk beds can be converted easily into twin beds for each child.
Age Rating
There isn't a universal age to determine the age at which a child is ripe to sleep in a bunk bed. Most kids are ready for a top bunk when they have outgrown their toddler bed and possess enough dexterity and judgement to safely navigate the ladder. Children as young as 5 or 6 years old can be successful in the top bunk, when they are able to maintain excellent coordination and balance.
It is also essential to consider the child's age in determining if they are ready to sleep in a bunk bed. They must understand the importance of adhering to safety rules and be physically able to use the top bunk without assistance. In addition when roommates or siblings are using the bunk bed, consider their relationship and how well they get along.
The most important aspect to consider when selecting a bunk bed for your child is the overall quality and safety features. The bunk bed should be equipped with sturdy guard rails that are secure on the sides of the upper mattress, and the ladder needs to 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 suitable for the child's height. Be sure that the space is spacious enough to allow for adequate mobility and that the bunk bed does not obstruct doors or windows.
While some of these issues may seem trivial It is crucial to think about the safety of a bunk bed before installing it in a child's bedroom. If you are unsure whether your child is mature enough to be able to use a bunk bed, you should consider consulting with a pediatrician or a specialist in youth furniture to determine their maturity and safety levels.
Bunk beds are ideal for saving room in a child's bedroom, and they encourage the bonding among siblings. Parents must be aware of a child's readiness for a bunk bed, especially the top bunk, and to ensure that the bunk meets the safety standards of all essentials.
