Bunk Beds With Ladders and Slides
If you're putting together siblings' rooms or expanding your floor space, or accommodating a large family bunk beds can make excellent use of small space. Be on the lookout for things like inclined stairs, slides, and ladders that protrude.
It's also a good idea to ban hanging objects from the top bunk as they can pose a strangulation risk.
Ladders
Getting into the top bunk of a bunk bed could be a challenge for kids and adults as well. While some may be enticed to climb up, this can be risky for older youngsters or those who have joint problems. Ladders are a great solution to this issue and provide an appropriate and safe entry point for children.
There are many ladder options for bunk beds for kids that include straight and angled versions. Straight ladders attach directly to the bunk bed frame and angled ladders stand out slightly from either side. Angled ladders are ideal for smaller spaces and are suitable for all ages because they provide more space for feet to climb up. Ladders are available in many different colors and styles and designs, so you can pick one that complements the scheme of your bunk or compliments your room.
Another great option is to opt for a bunk bed with stairs on the side of the bunk. Stairs take up more space than ladders, yet they don't protrude from the bed's side. They're therefore a great choice for rooms that have plenty of space on the floor. Many bunk beds for kids include storage cubbies. They are perfect for books, toys and even pajamas.
If you're on an extremely tight budget straight ladders are an affordable bunk bed option. Although it might not be as luxurious as a set of stairs, straight ladders are solid and safe enough for kids of all ages to use. Stairs however, are a bit more expensive, but they are also extremely versatile and can be used by kids of all stages of development as they get older.
The ladder can be moved to the side of the bunk bed. This style is minimalist and designed with tweens and teens in mind. This style is available with all Maxtrix bunk sizes and height configurations including twin over twin, full over full and queen over queen.
Slides
Bunk beds with slides add a fun dimension to bedtime. Not only do children enjoy climbing the ladder and sliding down the slide as well, but bunk beds that have slides give parents peace of mind knowing that their children are safe in bed at night. These beds are perfect for children who have difficulty sleeping on higher levels. They are also a great option for older kids to fall asleep.
When selecting kids bunk beds with a slide, consider the size of the room and any furniture in it. Some beds, like the Casey Chestnut Kids' Bunk Bed with Ladder and Slide are perpendicular, and require some extra space than other designs. However, this bed also has the added benefit of a built-in ladder and slide that allows for easy access to the top bunk.
The Billi-Bolli Slide Tower is another option for adding a slides to a bunkbed. The Tower mounts onto the shorter side of the bed, which can reduce the required room depth for a bunk bed that has a slide by around 70 centimeters (depending on assembly height). This allows you to instal a kids bed with slide into rooms that wouldn't normally be suitable for this kind of bed.
You can choose low loft beds that have slides, in addition to bunks with a slide. These beds are perfect for smaller bedrooms as they allow more floor space for storage and play, and can be used to make 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 combo in time as your children grow and change.
It is crucial to adhere to the safety guidelines for loft and bunk beds. Be sure to mount the slide on a level surface, and away from other structures in the bedroom. It is also essential to keep your children in check when they play on the slide. The slide's fall could be dangerous.
Storage
A lot of loft and bunk beds have drawers that are integrated to provide a convenient storage solution for bedding, clothing, toys and more. The best bunk bed will make the most of the space you have in a smaller area or help you organize a crowded child's bedroom.
Drawers that are built inside the stairs offer security and modernity that allows children to safely access their top bunk while keeping their clothes, toys and other items neatly. These drawers can be used as a decorative accent in the children's bedroom to improve the look of the room. Some bunk beds with stair storage can also be customized so that you can customize the space to the needs of your family.
Some bunk and loft beds come with curtains to help children feel like they have their own space, even if they're in the same room. This feature is ideal for kids who love to read or dream in the peace. You can purchase loft and bunk sets with curtains or make the look yourself by using curtain rods and simple drapes.
If your kids are screaming for bunk beds, but you do not have the space to accommodate two elevated beds, consider a corner loft or twin loft. This style combines two raised beds in one corner of the room, while freeing the floor space to accommodate other furniture like an office or a toy chest.
Bunk beds that have desks transform sleeping spaces into cozy study spaces. They're great for children who require a quiet space to work on homework assignments or play their favorite games. Some models, such as the Slam bunk bed from Maxtrix, offer a solid wood desk with a matching bookcase so you can easily carve out a dedicated workspace in your kids' room.
Other bunk beds and lofts have a desk built in at the bottom. This is great for younger children who want their own space to write, read, or make crafts. This is a fantastic way to help your child grow their imagination and develop their own skills in their rooms.
Style
The best bunk bed style for kids will be determined by the size of your room and your child's sleeping habits. If you have a small space, consider a twin-over-twin arrangement that saves the floor space and gives both children the thrill of sleeping together in a high position. If your ceilings are higher, you can choose staggered designs. It keeps the ladder at the end and leaves the top bunk bed open. This makes it easier for children to climb up and back down without hitting their heads.
For rooms with larger spaces A full-over-full configuration is a great choice. It provides more storage space with a large drawer at the bottom, and allows older children to sleep on the upper floor without feeling left out. These kinds of bunk beds typically come with a ladder on the side or a staircase which provides hidden storage for books and toys, as well as a sturdy railing with slats for safety.
If you're looking to keep the design of your bunks clean pick a plain solid color like gray or white. These finishes go well with the majority of kids' rooms regardless of whether it's a coastal, cottage or vibrant palette. If you're looking for something more appealing, then an option with a wood finish, such as cherry or walnut would be an ideal choice. It provides warmth and a sense of contrast to the rustic or farm-inspired space.
Kids love decorating their bedrooms, so bunks allow them to express their creativity. Bunks that are painted or stained can be the center of a lively and functional kids bedroom particularly if they are equipped with a slide that can be detached. The slide can provide hours of entertainment for your children as they slide down with their pals or take their favorite toy animal on rides.
For a striking appearance you can consider a bunk bed that has a colored staircase, such as this one from Furniture Row. The railings for the stairs are available in red, green, blue or charcoal. It also has three bunk beds that are in the same color as the railings. The staircase is equipped with shelves built in for books and other items. This ensures that both beds are neat and clutter-free.
