Bunk Beds With Ladders and Slides
Bunk beds are an excellent option to maximize space whether you're looking to maximize your floor space, or accommodating an entire family. Keep an eye out for things like the angled ladders, slides and stairs that are protruding.
It's not a good idea to hang anything from the top bunk, as it could be a strangulation hazard.
Ladders
It isn't easy for adults and children to get into the top bunk. While some may be enticed to climb up, this can be dangerous for older people, youngsters or those who have joint problems. Ladders can be a fantastic solution to this problem and offer an appropriate and safe entry point for children.
There are a variety of ladder options for bunk beds for kids that include straight and angled ones. Straight ladders connect directly to the bunk bed frame, while angled ladders stick out a little from either side. Angled ladders are an excellent option for small spaces and are a breeze to use for everyone as they provide more foot space to climb up the bunk. Ladders are available in a variety of different colors and styles and designs, so you can pick one that is in keeping with the scheme of your bunk or complements your room.
A bunk bed with stairs built into the side is another excellent option. Stairs are more space-consuming than ladders, but they do not protrude out from the bed's sides. They are a great choice for rooms that have plenty of floor space. Many bunk beds for kids that have stairs also have cubbies that double as storage for the bed, perfect for storing books, toys and pajamas.
If you're looking to save money, a straight staircase is a cheaper option for bunk beds. While it may not be as durable as a stair set a straight ladder is still safe and sturdy enough for children of all age groups to use. Stairs, on the other hand are a little more expensive, but they're also extremely flexible and can be used by kids of all age groups as they grow older.
A fresh design option is moving the ladder to the bottom of the bunk bed. This style is minimalist and 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 add an exciting addition to time at bedtime. Not only do children enjoy climbing up the ladder and down the slide, but bunk beds with slides give parents peace of mind that their children are safe at night. These beds are ideal for children who have difficulty sleeping at higher levels. They can also be a great way for older kids to sleep.
When you are choosing a bunk bed with slide, think about the dimensions of your child's bedroom and the furniture that is in it. Some beds, such as the Casey Chestnut Kids Bunk Bed with Slide and Ladder are perpendicular and require a little more space than other kinds of bunk beds. This bed comes with a built-in slide and ladder for easy access to top bunk.
Another option for adding an additional slide to a bunk bed is the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower. The Tower is affixed to the shorter side of the bed, which can reduce the required space depth for a bunk bed that has a slide by around 70 cm (depending on the height of the assembly). This allows you to install the slide bed for kids into rooms that wouldn't normally be suitable for this type of bed.
You can pick low loft beds that come with slides as well as bunks with slides. These beds are perfect for small bedrooms, as they are more spacious to play and storage. They can also be transformed into a twin-over-full-full bunk bed with a trundle to accommodate two more children for sleepovers. Like all of our kids' bunk and loft beds, the adorable bunk bed and slide you purchase can be transformed into any Maxtrix configuration as your children grow and change.
When it comes to safety, it's important to follow general guidelines for bunk beds that have slides and other types of kids loft beds. Make sure the slide is mounted on an even surface and away from any other structures within the room. It's also recommended that you be sure to supervise your children when using the slide, since it can be hazardous in the event of a fall.
Storage
Many bunk beds and lofts come with integrated drawers which are a great solution for storing bedding as well as clothing and toys. The best bunk bed will help you maximize space in a smaller space or make it easier to organize your child's bedroom.
Drawers that are built in the stairs are a perfect combination of safety and creativity, allowing children to safely access their top bunk, while keeping their clothes and toys well-organized. These drawers can also be used as a decorative accent in the children's bedroom to enhance its aesthetic appeal. Some bunk beds that have storage for stairs can also be customized so that you can adjust the space to your family's needs.
Some loft and bunk beds come with curtains to help children feel like they have their own private space if they're in the same room. This feature is great for children who love to read or just dream in peace. You can purchase bunk and loft sets that feature curtains or curtain rods, or simple drapes to make the look yourself.
If your children are asking for bunk beds but you do not have the space to accommodate two raised beds, you can consider a corner loft or twin loft. This style combines two raised beds in one corner of the room, opening the floor space for other furniture, like a desk or a toy chest.
Bunk beds with desks transform sleeping spaces into cozy study nooks. These beds are ideal for kids who require an area to work in peace, do their homework or play games. Some models, like the Slam bunk bed from Maxtrix, offer solid wood desks with a bookcase that matches which allows you to easily carve out a dedicated workspace in your child's room.
Other bunk and loft beds come with a built-in desk on the bottom, perfect for kids younger than 10 who want a separate space to write, draw or read. This can be an excellent way to encourage independent learning and creativity in your kids' rooms while helping them develop valuable organizational skills.
Style
The size of your bedroom and your child's sleep habits will determine the most suitable kind of bunk bed for your kids. If you're in a tight space, consider a twin-over-twin arrangement that helps save floor space while still offering both children the thrill of sleeping together up high. If you have taller ceilings, opt for a staggered bunk layout like the one shown. It places the ladder at the other side and leaves the top bed open making it easier for children to climb up and down without hitting their heads.
A full-over-full configuration is another excellent option for rooms that are larger. It offers more storage by way of a deep drawer at the bottom and it allows older kids to sleep on the upper level without feeling they're being ignored by their younger siblings. These bunk beds are usually equipped with a ladder or a staircase on the side, which provides storage space for books and toys, as well as a sturdy safety rail.
If you want to keep the appearance of your bunks clean pick a plain solid color such as white or gray. These finishes can be incorporated into nearly every kid's room regardless of whether they're coastal, cottage or colorful palette. If you're looking for something that's more appealing, then a wood finish such as walnut or cherry is an excellent choice. It can add warmth to an old-fashioned or farmhouse-style room and still provides plenty of visual contrast using bright colors.
Bunks are a fantastic way for children to express their creativity. Bunks that have been painted or stained can be the center of a lively and functional kids bedroom especially if they come with a slide that can be detached. The slide will give hours of fun to your children as they slide down with their pals or take their favorite toy animal on rides.
For a striking look you can consider a bunk bed with a colored staircase like this one by Furniture Row. The stairway railings come in blue, red or green, and it comes with three bunk beds that are color-matched. The staircase also has built-in shelves that can be used to store books and other items and ensuring that both beds are neat and clean.
