Today's parents have abundant choices when it comes to their child's bedroom furniture. Styles range from single Twin or Full beds to Captain's Beds, Loft Beds, and Bunk Beds, each style with its own unique set of benefits. Many parents love the idea of saving space but don't like the extra hazard of a bunk bed or loft bed. While a Captain's Bed may be a good compromise for some, Stair Bunk Beds may be another option to consider. Stair Bunk Beds offer your child a bed option that's packed with style, space savings, and safety.
Safety First
One of the main safety concerns, when it comes to either Loft Beds or Bunk Beds, is the method of climbing up to that top bunk — and back down, again. The Staircase Bunk Bed (or Staircase Loft) addresses that issue by providing much larger stepping surfaces, and many (like this Maxtrix Bunk - pictured above) include built-in handrails. Even if a child falls to either side while climbing or descending the stairs, the risk is lessened by the fact that most Staircase Bunk Beds include walls on both sides, keeping the child from falling far.
While not quite as safe as a staircase, our customizable Maxtrix bed system also offers an angled ladder with handrail, providing another option that's safer than a traditional straight ladder.
Space Concerns
The primary reason many parents choose Bunk Beds for their children is to more efficiently utilize the floor space that they have. While there are other benefits to having multiple children share a bedroom, space savings is obviously pretty high on the list. In that regard, a Staircase Bunk Bed provides a bit of a quandary: It does save space, compared to two freestanding beds, but it also adds extra length to the end of the bed — usually about 10 inches. On the flip side, though, most models allow the stairs to double as storage drawers, allowing you to make the most of that added space.
Stylistic Benefits
Especially if you desire for your child's bedroom to reflect your home's overall décor theme, a Staircase Bunk Bed may work to that end. Consider this Mission style Santa Fe set with its slatted banister. That model also offers extra storage in the form of open shelving behind the staircase drawers and the option of a bottom futon design.
If you're concerned about style, space, and safety, a Staircase Bunk Bed may be the perfect way for your child's bedroom to embrace all three of those ideals.
