The KURA bunk bed is clearly one of the favourites in the children's furniture department. Thanks to its versatility, it is unbeatable value for money. Initially, it can be set up for small children in the floor-level version. When the desire for a bunk bed comes up at some point and your child is old enough, you can simply turn it round and have a stable IKEA bunk bed. We also appreciate the simple colour scheme, white and natural wood - so the IKEA KURA bed fits into any children's room. And the best thing is: it offers ideal surfaces for IKEA KURA hacks.
From what age is the IKEA KURA suitable?
The KURA cot is a good choice. For toddlers from the age of around two years, the KURA can be set up as a low bed. There is enough space for lots of soft cuddly toys and for mum and dad during bedtime stories. However, the maximum load of the IKEA KURA is 100 kg. As your child gets older, you can easily convert the IKEA KURA cot into a bunk bed. This not only brings a breath of fresh air into the children's room. Bunk beds are also an absolute favourite among primary school children. The IKEA KURA is lower than other bunk beds and therefore safer. The low height also makes it easier for parents to say goodnight.
When can my child start sleeping in bunk bed?
The bunk bed from IKEA has a railing on the side so that children can sleep safely on the upper bunk at night and not fall off. If this is still too precarious, an additional safety rail can be fitted. IKEA generally recommends that children should only sleep upstairs at bunk bed from the age of 6. However, you can still use the IKEA KURA before then. This is because the KURA is convertible and can also be set up as a floor bed.
