Bunk Beds With Ladders and Slides
Bunk beds are a great way to maximize space, regardless of whether you're trying to maximize the floor area or able to accommodate a large family. Just keep an eye out for things like stairs that jut out, angled ladders and slides.
It's not a good idea to hang anything from the top bunk as it can be a strangulation hazard.
Ladders
Getting into the top bunk of a bunk bed can be a challenge for kids and adults alike. While some might be tempted to simply climb up, this could pose a fall risk and could be hazardous for children, people suffering from joint issues or those who are older. Ladders are a great solution to this problem and offer a safe and comfortable entry point for children.
There are a variety of ladder options available for bunk beds for children that include straight and angled ladders. Straight ladders attach directly to the frame of the bunk bed, while an angled ladder extends slightly from the bed's side. Angled ladders are ideal for small spaces and are suitable for all ages, since they offer more room for feet when climbing up. They also come in different styles and colors so you can choose one that matches the style of your room or complements your bunk's color scheme.
Another option is to opt for bunk beds that have stairs that are located on the sides of the bunk. Stairs take up more space than ladders, however they don't protrude from the side of the bed. They are therefore a great choice for rooms that have plenty of floor space. Many bunk beds for kids that have stairs also come with cubbies that double as bed storage, perfect for storing books, toys and pajamas.
If you're looking to save money, a straight staircase is an affordable option for bunk beds. Although it might not be as durable as a stair set a straight ladder is still safe and sturdy enough for kids of all different ages to use. Stairs, on the other hand are a little more expensive but they are also extremely flexible and will fit kids of all stages of development as they get older.
The ladder can be moved to the side of the bunk bed. This offers a minimalist look created with teens and tweens in mind. This style is available in all Maxtrix bunk sizes and heights including twin over twin full over full, and queen over queen.
Slides
Bunk beds with slides provide a fun aspect to time at bedtime. Bunk beds with slides are not just fun for children to climb up and down but also provide parents the peace of mind knowing that their children will be safe at night. These beds are great for kids who have anxiety about sleeping at higher levels. They can also be a fun way to get into bed even for older kids.
When you are choosing a bunk bed that has slide, keep in mind the size of your child's bedroom and any other furniture that is in it. Certain beds, such as the Casey Chestnut Kids Bunk Bed with Ladder and Slide are perpendicular and require a little more space than other designs. The bed is equipped with a slide and ladder that allows for easy access to the top bunk.
The Billi-Bolli Slide Tower is another option for adding a slides to a bunk bed. The Tower is affixed to the shorter side of the bed, which reduces the space depth for a bunk bed that has a slide by about 70 cm (depending on the height of assembly). This allows you to instal a slide for your kids into rooms that would not normally be suitable for this kind of bed.
You can also choose low loft beds with slides as well as bunks with slides. These beds are ideal for smaller rooms because they provide more space on the floor for storage and play, and can also be used to create the twin over full bunk bed that has a trundle making it possible to accommodate two children for sleepovers or guests. Like all of our kids' bunk and loft beds, the adorable bunk bed and slide that you purchase can be transformed into any Maxtrix configuration over time as your children grow and change.
In terms of security, it's crucial to adhere to the general guidelines for bunk beds with slides, as well as all kinds of kids loft beds. Be sure to mount the slide on a flat surface, and away from any other structures in the bedroom. It is also crucial to supervise your children when they play on the slide. Falling off can be dangerous.
Stores
Many loft and bunk beds have drawers that are integrated to offer a convenient storage solution for clothing, bedding toys and more. If you're looking for ways to maximize space in a small room or provide additional organization in your already overcrowded kids bedroom, the right bunk bed with storage can help.
Drawers integrated into the stairs combine the latest technology and safety that allows kids to have access to their bunk bed while keeping their clothes, toys, and other items organized. These drawers can also be used as a decorative feature in the children's bedroom to increase the aesthetic appeal. Some bunk beds with stair storage are also customizable, so you can tailor the amount of space to meet the needs of your family.
Some bunk and loft models come with curtains to help children feel like they have their own space, even if they're in the same room. This feature is perfect for kids who love to read or dream in the peace. You can buy bunk and loft sets with curtains or make the look yourself using curtains and rods.
If your kids are begging for bunk beds but you do not have the space to accommodate two raised beds, try a corner loft or twin loft. This design combines two elevated beds in one corner of the room, while freeing the floor space for other furniture like a desk or a toy chest.
Bunk beds with desks transform sleeping spaces into cozy study spaces. They're ideal for children who require a quiet place to work on homework assignments or play their favorite games. Some models, like the Slam bunk bed from Maxtrix offers solid wood desks with a matching bookcase so you can easily create a space in your child's room.
The other loft and bunk beds have a desk built at the bottom, which is ideal for children who need a separate space to write, craft or read. This is a great opportunity to help your child discover their creative side and develop their own skills in their rooms.
Style
The best bunk bed design for children will depend on the size of your room and your child's sleeping habits. If you're working with small space A twin-overtwin arrangement will reduce the floor space, but still allow the children to share a bed in the loft. If your ceilings are higher, you can opt for staggered designs. It keeps the ladder at the other side and leaves the top bed open which makes it easier for children to climb up and down without hitting their heads.
For rooms with larger spaces the full-over-full arrangement is also a good option. It offers more storage space, with a deep drawer on the bottom and older children to sleep on the top level without feeling secluded. These bunk beds typically have a ladder at the side or a staircase that provides an out-of-sight area for toys and books as well as a strong railing with slats for security.
If you want to keep the appearance of your bunks simple pick a plain solid color such as gray or white. These finishes can be incorporated into almost any kid's room regardless of whether they're a cottage, coastal or colorful palette. If you're looking for something more striking, a wood finish like cherry or walnut would be an excellent choice. It provides warmth to an old-fashioned or farmhouse-style room, while still providing plenty of visual contrast with bright colors.
Kids love to decorate their bedrooms, so bunks offer an opportunity to express their imagination. Bunks that are painted or stained can be the center of a lively and practical kids' bedroom particularly if they are equipped with a slide that can be detached. Your children will have hours of fun gliding down the slide with their pals and bringing their favorite animals on rides.
For a bold look, consider a bunk bed that has a colored staircase like this one from Furniture Row. The railings on the stairway are available in red, green blue, or charcoal. It also has three bunk beds that match the color of the railings. The staircase also has built-in shelves to store books and other objects making sure that the beds are clean and tidy.
