Bunk Beds With Ladders and Slides
Bunk beds are the ideal option to maximize space whether you're looking to maximize your floor area, or accommodating an entire family. Keep an eye out for elements such as inclined stairs, slides, and ladders that are protruding.
It's a good idea to not to hang anything from the top bunk, as it could pose an entrapment risk.
Ladders
It isn't easy for kids and adults to climb up into the top bunk. While some may be tempted to climb up, this is risky for older children, or those with joint issues. Ladders are a great solution to this problem and provide a safe and comfortable entry point for children.
There are a variety of ladder options for kids' bunk beds including straight and angled ladders. Straight ladders connect directly to the frame of the bunk bed while an angled ladder is positioned slightly from the side of the bed. Angled ladders work well in small spaces and are suitable for all ages, because they provide more space for feet when climbing up. Ladders also come in a variety of styles and colors so you can pick one that matches the style of your space or matches the color scheme of your bunk.
A bunk bed with stairs built into the side is a fantastic option. Stairs require more floor space than a ladder but they do not extend from the bunk's side therefore they are a great option for rooms that have plenty of floor space. Many kids bunk beds include storage cubbies. They are great for books, toys, and even pajamas.
If you are on a tight budget straight ladders are an affordable bunk bed option. Straight ladders might not be as good as a staircase, but it is still sturdy and safe for children of all ages. Stairs however are a little more expensive, but they are extremely adaptable and can be used by kids of all stages of development as they get older.
A new design option is to move the ladder to the bottom of the bunk bed. This style is minimalist and designed with tweens and teens in mind. This style is available in all Maxtrix bunk height and size configurations including twin over twin and full over full.
Slides
Bunk beds with slide make for a fun addition to time at bedtime. Bunk beds with slides are not only fun for kids to climb up and down and down, but they also offer parents peace-of-mind that their children are secure at night. These beds are ideal for children who have trouble sleeping at higher levels. They can also be a fun way for older kids to get into bed.
When you are choosing a bunk bed with slide, you should consider the size of the bedroom your child is in and any other furniture 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 types of bunk beds. This bed comes with a built-in slide and ladder for easy access to the top bunk.
Another option to add slides to bunk beds is the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower. The Tower can be mounted on the shorter side of the bunk bed to decrease the depth of the room required for a bed with a slide. The depth can be reduced by 70 cm depending on the assembly height. This lets you put a kids bed that has a slide in rooms that wouldn't normally be suitable.
In addition to bunk beds with a slide, you can also choose low loft beds with slides. These beds are great for smaller bedrooms as they allow more floor space to play and storage and they can also be used to make the twin over full bunk bed that has a trundle which allows you to accommodate two children for sleepovers or guests. The cute bunk bed with slide you purchase can be converted into any Maxtrix model as your child grows and develops.
When it comes to safety, it's essential to adhere to the general guidelines for bunk beds that have slides and other types of kids loft beds. Make sure the slide is installed on an even surface and away from any other structures within the room. It's also recommended that you keep your children safe while using the slide, since it can be hazardous when they fall off.
Stores
Many loft and bunk beds come with drawers integrated to offer a convenient storage solution for bedding, clothing, toys and more. The right bunk bed can aid in maximizing space in a smaller room or organize an overcrowded children's bedroom.
Drawers that are built inside the stairs offer security and modernity, allowing children to safely access their top bunk while keeping clothes, toys and other items neatly. They can also be used as a decorative accent in the children's bedroom to enhance its aesthetic appeal. Some bunk beds with storage for stairs also include customizable options so you can tailor the space to your family's needs.
Some loft bed and bunk bed models are equipped with curtains that help kids feel as if they have their own private space if they're sharing a room. This feature is great for children who love to read or simply dream in peace. You can buy loft and bunk sets with curtains or create the look yourself by using curtains and rods.
If you're struggling to find space for floor space and your kids are begging for bunks but you're not able to accommodate two beds, you should consider a corner loft. This style places two raised beds in the corner of the room. It allows the floor space to accommodate other furniture like a desk or toy chest or a desk.
Bunk beds with desks turn sleeping spaces into cozy study spaces. They're ideal for kids who need an area to work on their homework or play their favorite games. Some models, such as the Slam bunk bed by Maxtrix comes with a solid-wood desk as well as a the bookcase to match, so you can easily create a space for work in your child's bedroom.
Other bunk beds and lofts have a desk built in at the bottom. This is ideal for children in the early years who need their own space to write, read, or create crafts. This can be an excellent way to encourage creative thinking and learning in your children's rooms while helping them develop important organizational skills.
Style
The best bunk bed design for children will depend on the size of your room and your child's sleeping habits. If you have small space, a twin-overtwin configuration will reduce the floor space while allowing both children to sleep together in the loft. If you have taller ceilings, consider a staggered bunk layout like the one shown. It keeps the ladder at the end, and leaves the top bunk bed open. This allows children to climb up and back down without bumping into their heads.
A full-overfull configuration is a option for rooms with more space. It allows for more storage space with a large drawer on the bottom and older children to sleep on the upper floor without feeling like they're left out. These kinds of bunk beds typically have an incline on the side or a staircase that offers an out-of-sight area for toys and books, as well as a sturdy railing that is slatted to ensure security.
If you want to keep the design of your bunks clean choose a simple solid color such as gray or white. These finishes can be incorporated into almost any kid's room regardless of whether it's a coastal, cottage or vibrant palette. If you're looking to make your room more attractive wood finishes like walnut or cherry is a good choice. It can add warmth to rooms that are rustic or inspired by farmhouse and still provides plenty of visual contrast using bright shades.
Kids love to decorate their rooms, and bunk beds provide a chance to show their creative side. Bunks that have been stained or painted can be the center of a lively and functional bedroom for kids, especially if they come with a detachable slide. The slide can give hours of fun to your kids as they glide down with their pals or send their favorite plush animal on rides.
You could consider a bunk bed similar to this one, from Furniture Row, with a colored stairway. The railings for the stairway are available in red, blue or green, and it comes with a set of three bunk beds with matching colors. The staircase also has built-in shelves to store books and other objects making sure that the beds are neat and clean.
