Crate & Kids Babyletto TipToe White & Washed Natural Wood Kids Bunk Bed Bunk beds can make a bedroom fun, exciting and cool. They are great for kids sharing rooms with siblings or for one child who invites friends to have a sleepover. The main benefit of bunk beds is that they are space-saving. A conventional bunk bed can double (or triple) the amount of sleeping space in a room and take up the same amount of floor space a twin or full-sized bed. While some bunk beds are set up in a traditional twin-over-twin arrangement, others are arranged in more creative ways. Some, for instance, have a staircase that leads to the bed above, while others are designed as an L-shaped unit with two beds close to each other. This allows children to sleep together, but leaves plenty of room for bookshelves, toys, and other objects. In contrast to a traditional bunk bed, this wood version is sturdy and stylish--a combination that stands the test of time. The clean lines, curved edges and the natural wood finish add modern appeal, while making the room appear more spacious. The ladder can be positioned on either side of bed to meet your needs. This bed also comes with GREENGUARD Gold Certification1 for low chemical emissions into the air. This creates a safer environment for children to sleep and play. Parents will also appreciate the fact that this bunk bed uses only spruce, plywood, and medium-density fiberboard. They are all crafted from Greenguard Gold-certified, TSCA-compliant materials. When you're choosing a bunk bed for your kids it is crucial to consider the overall size of your space according to Katie Siegel, lead designer at Rumor Designs. You'll want to ensure the dimensions of the bunk bed meet the dimensions of your room or they may look too large and out of balance. Also, you should determine whether your ceilings are high enough to support a lofted mattress. Consider the method your children use to get up and down from their bunks. Some models use the standard ladder, while others have an alternative stairway with deep steps that are easy for kids to climb up and down safely. This is especially important when you intend to let older kids use the top bunk on their own. In addition to traditional twin-over-twin bunk beds, there are also some models that can sleep three people, which is ideal for larger families or those who like to host frequent sleepovers. One alternative is this three-person bunk bed from Harriet Bee, which offers a no-frills design that's suited to smaller rooms and comes with an affordable price. The bed can sleep three people, it can be converted into two beds in the event that your kids decide they don't require the extra sleeping space.
