Are you looking for a fun way to add space to your home while providing a playful area for your toddler? Then consider the fun and functional advantages of toddler bunk beds. This type of bed features two beds in one piece that can make sharing a bedroom a snap. With a toddler and bed in one piece, there is only a small amount of room to walk around in the space which can be maximized by using built in shelves, cabinets or drawers. There are also many other benefits to this type of bed including convenience, durability and affordability.
When shopping for toddler bunk beds, you need to look for age-appropriate models, sizes and safety features. If you are looking for a model that offers more space, then consider a model with two twin beds or a twin on top and a full size bed on the bottom. This will obviously offer more space for a toddler, especially if they are used to sleeping alone in a crib. It will also allow the toddler to climb up and down the ladder easily as well as being able to move from side to side in the event that they need to get in and out of bed. Many models on the market now also feature a built in ladder that folds conveniently inside the bed. This ladder can be locked to ensure that it stays put and out of the way whenever you are not using the bed.
Another popular and practical type of toddler bunk beds is from IKEA. Their Utsuri line offers many styles and colors that will appeal to any toddler. Many models from IKEA feature great craftsmanship and come with a wide variety of features including built in storage cabinets, shelves and drawers. The benefit of purchasing an IKEA bed from them is that they offer a very affordable price and come with a long guarantee. Plus, with the wide variety of styles and colors available, it is easy to find a model that will match your toddler’s decor.
A second popular option when it comes to toddler bunk beds is to purchase from a kids loft bed manufacturer. Loft beds are designed for kids that spend most of their time in a bedroom that consists of several other types of beds, such as a playpen, a bed for siblings, and a bed for older kids. These loft beds are much larger than traditional bunk beds, often measuring up to 30 inches wide by 36 inches deep. Since they are larger than standard beds, they usually do not have a drop bed as well. However, many kids enjoy the ability to be able to climb up and down the ladder easily, as well as be able to sleep in a bed that offers more space than traditional models allow.
Finally, there are bunk bed models designed to include a set of stairs. Whether your children like to climb everything in sight or simply like to move between levels, stairs are a great way to add an extra dimension to a regular bunk bed. Many kids really enjoy being able to climb up and down the stairs on their bunk bed, and the addition of stairs to a loft bed can help children visualize the things that they want to do in the future while they are still growing. A solid wood bunk bed with stairs can also help create a more dramatic room look, because the stairs can add depth to the room rather than making it look like a cubicle.
In addition to choosing a loft bed with stairs, there are a number of other features that you may want to consider. One of the most popular is the presence of a ladder on the top bunk. Although a ladder cannot be placed directly on top of the bed, it is a great feature for children who are interested in climbing up and down. Another popular feature that is found on many toddler bunk bed with steps is a trundle drawer on the bottom bunk that is used for storing toys and small belongings that children don’t want to get caught up with. Finally, most beds will feature a slide mechanism that will allow for easier cleaning and will attach to a hanger bar above the bed that is built into the top bunk.
