Kids bunk beds are a great way to maximize space while reducing the cost of separate rooms. Choose beds that have sturdy foundations and mattress supports that stop gaps or spaces that children might be trapped or entangled.
The way the bed is accessible is also crucial. Bunk beds are usually accessed via stairs or ladders and angled ladders take up less space than standard ladders that are vertical.

Whether you're looking to outfit an attic bedroom or the small space in your home, bunk beds for kids can help you save floor space without losing any style or comfort.
