Keep on reading as this article will guide you as you make a selection and ensure that you get the best value for your money.

What types of bunk beds are there to choose from?

Homeowners are given lots of options when it comes to Build-a-Bear bank beds. Let's take a closer look at the different kinds of bunk beds as well as their pros and cons.

Bunk Bed with Play Features - As a parent, you would want your children’s room to encourage not just rest and relaxation during bedtime but also learning through play. So, consider getting a bunk bed with play features like ropes, slides, and climbing walls. There are bunk beds that are shaped like castles or houses. Think about what the kids like. If possible, involve them in the buying process. After all, they’ll be the ones who’ll be sleeping in it!
Low-to-the-Ground - A bunk bed that is low to the ground is the type that’s perfect for younglings. It is near the floor, so it is easier to climb to the top bunk. It also makes giving kids goodnight kisses easier as you don’t have to climb up a flimsy set of stairs. If your children’s room has a low ceiling, then this type of bed is your best option.
Bunk Bed with Stairs - This one’s great if there is space that needs filling in the room. With this bunk bed, it is essential that you check the construction of the stairs. It should make climbing easy and without any risk of injury or accident. Almost all Build-a-Bear bunk beds with stairs come with drawers stacked and they are the ones that make up the stairs. They give kids not just a sleeping space, but also storage for their clothes, toys, and books.
Bunk Bed with Ladder - A bunk bed with a ladder, especially the straight one, takes no extra floor space to access the top bunk. However, for younger kids, an angled ladder is better as it is much easier to climb.

What are bunk beds typically made of?

Bunk beds can be made of either wood or metal. Which one is the best option for your kids?

Metal - The metal bed is great if your budget is somewhat limited and you want to make sure that what you purchase lasts forever. A metal bed is also resistant to almost everything from time and scratches to kids jumping up and down their mattresses. Metal beds are easy to clean as well.
Wood - Wood, on the other hand, makes the best bunk beds as the material makes them sturdy. Wooden units are, unfortunately, more expensive compared to metal beds. One great reason to opt a wooden bunk bed is that it offers a warm atmosphere to any room and makes it a lot more pleasant and cozy for kids. Also, the material can be painted and stained so your kids have a bed in the color that they love.
