Bunk Beds With Ladders and Slides
Bunk beds are an excellent option to maximize space whether you're maximizing your floor space, or even allowing for a whole family. Be on the lookout for elements such as angled stairs, slides, and ladders that protrude.
It's also an excellent idea to eliminate hanging items from the top bunk as they can pose a strangulation risk.
Ladders
The top bunk of a bunk bed could be a daunting task for children and adults alike. While some may be enticed to just climb up, this can create a fall risk and is a risk for children, people with joint problems or who are older. Ladders are a great way to reduce this risk and provide a safe, comfortable and easy-to-climb entry point for kids.
There are a variety of ladder options for kids bunk beds that include straight and angled ladders. Straight ladders attach directly to the bunk bed frame and angled ladders stand out a bit from either side. Angled ladders are ideal for smaller spaces and are suitable for everyone, as they give more space for the feet when climbing up. Ladders also come in a variety of colors and styles so you can choose one that matches the style of your room or complements the color scheme of your bunk.
A bunk bed with stairs built into the side is a excellent option. Stairs take up more space than a ladder, but they do not extend from the side of the bunk making them a great choice for rooms with ample floor space. Many bunk beds for kids that have stairs also feature convenient cubbies that double as bed storage, ideal for storing toys, books and pajamas.
If you are on the tightest budget, a straight ladder is an affordable bunk bed option. Straight ladders may not be as good as a stairset, however it's still sturdy and safe for children of all ages. Stairs however are a bit more expensive but they are also extremely versatile and will fit kids of all age groups as they grow older.
A new design option is to move the ladder to the end of the bunk bed. This minimalist design is aimed at tweens, teens and young adults. This style is available in all Maxtrix bunk sizes and heights including twin over twin and full over full.
Slides
Bunk beds with slides add an exciting addition to the bedtime routine. Not only do children enjoy climbing up the ladder and going 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 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 choosing a bunk bed that has slide, think about the size of your child's bedroom and any other furniture in it. Certain beds, like the Casey Chestnut Kids Bunk Bed with Slide and Ladder are perpendicular, and require a little more space than other styles of bunk beds. 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 can be mounted on the shorter side of the bed, which can reduce the room depth for a bunk bed with a slide by about 70 cm (depending on the height of the assembly). This permits you to install the bed for children that has slide in rooms that would not normally be suitable.
You can pick low loft beds with slides in addition to bunks with a slide. These beds are ideal for smaller rooms because they provide more space on the floor to play and storage and can be used to make an over-full bunk bed with trundle - making it possible to accommodate two additional children for sleepovers or guests. Like all of our kids bunk and loft beds, the cute bunk bed and slide that you purchase can be transformed into any Maxtrix combo in time as your children grow and change.
When it comes to security, it's crucial to follow the guidelines for bunk beds that have slides and other types of loft beds for kids. Make sure that you place the slide on a level surface, and away from other structures in the bedroom. It is also essential to supervise your children while they are using the slide. Falling off can be dangerous.
Storage
Many loft and bunk beds have drawers that are integrated to offer a convenient storage solution for clothing, bedding toys and more. Whether you're looking to make the most of space in a tiny room or provide additional organization for an already overcrowded kids bedroom, the right bunk bed with storage can assist.
Drawers built in the stairs are a perfect combination of safety and innovation that allows children to safely access their top bunk while keeping clothes, toys and other items organized. These drawers can be used as a decorative feature in the bedroom of children to improve the look of the room. Some bunk beds that include stair storage are also customizable, so you can customize the amount of space according to the needs of your family.
Certain models of bunk beds and loft beds have curtains that help children feel like they're in their own space, even if they're sharing the same space. If your children love to read and dream in the quiet, this feature could be a big bonus. You can purchase bunk and loft sets with curtains or create the look yourself by using curtains and rods.
If you have limited area for flooring and your children are begging for bunks but you're not able to accommodate two raised beds, consider a corner loft. This design combines two elevated beds in one corner of the room, opening the floor space to accommodate other furniture like desks or a toy chest.
Bunk beds with desks transform sleeping spaces into cozy study areas. These beds are ideal for kids who require a quiet area to work on their assignments or play games. Some models, like the Slam bunk bed from Maxtrix include an solid-wood desk and a the bookcase to match that allows you to create a work area in your child's room.
Some lofts and bunk beds include a desk at the bottom. This is perfect for children in the early years who need their own space to write, read or do crafts. This is an ideal way to promote independent learning and creativity in your kids' rooms as well as helping them develop valuable organizational skills.
Style
The best bunk bed design for children will depend on the dimensions of your room as well as your child's sleeping habits. If you're working with a limited space, a twin-overtwin configuration can save the floor space, but still allow both children to sleep together in the loft. If you have taller ceilings, consider an angled bunk like the one shown. The ladder is kept at the end and leaves the top bunk bed unlocked. This allows children to climb up and back down without crashing into their heads.
For larger rooms A full-over-full configuration is a great option. It gives more storage space by way of an extensive drawer on the bottom and allows older kids to sleep on the upper level without feeling like they're being ignored by their younger siblings. The bunk beds are typically equipped with a staircase or ladder on the side, which provides storage space for books and toys, and a sturdy slatted safety rail.
If you're looking to keep your bunk beds simple, choose a solid color, such as gray or white. These finishes blend in with almost any kid's room regardless of whether they're coastal, cottage or vibrant palette. If you're looking to make your room more attractive wood finishes like cherry or walnut is also a good choice. It adds warmth and contrast to an edgy or rustic room.
Bunks are a great way for children to express their imagination. Bunks that are stained or painted can be the center of a lively and functional bedroom for kids especially if they come with a slide that is detachable. Your children will have hours of fun gliding down the slide with their pals and bringing their favorite animal toys on rides.
For a striking look, consider a bunk bed with a color staircase like this one from Furniture Row. Its stairway railings come in green, red, blue or charcoal. It also comes with three bunk beds that are in the same color as the railings. The staircase has shelves built into it for books and other objects. This ensures that both beds are neat and clutter-free.
