Bunk Beds With Ladders and Slides
If you're putting together rooms for siblings, maxing out your floor space, or accommodating a large family bunk beds can make fantastic use of tiny spaces. Keep an eye out for elements such as the angled ladders, slides and stairs 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 daunting task for children and adults as well. Although some might be enticed to just climb up, this can be a risk of falling and can be dangerous for children, people suffering from joint issues or those who are older. Ladders can be a great solution to this problem and offer an easy and safe entry point for children.
There are a range of ladder options available for kids bunk beds including straight and angled ones. Straight ladders are connected directly to the frame of the bunk bed, while an angled ladder sticks out slightly from the bed's side. Angled ladders are an excellent choice for short spaces and are easy to use for everyone as they allow more space when climbing up the bunk. Ladders are available in a variety of different colors and styles, so you can select one that complements the scheme of your bunk or matches your room.
Another option is to select a bunk bed with stairs on the side of the bunk. Stairs take up more space than ladders, yet they don't extend from the side of the bed. They are a great choice for rooms that have plenty of space for floor. A lot of bunk beds for kids with stairs also come with cubbies that double as bed storage, perfect for storing books, toys and pajamas.
If you're on a tight budget straight staircases are an affordable option for bunk beds. A straight ladder may not be as good as a staircase, but it is still sturdy and safe for children of all age groups. Stairs, on the other hand, are a bit more expensive, but they're also extremely versatile and can be used by children of all stages of development as they get older.
The ladder can be moved to the end of the bunk bed. This style is minimalist and designed with tweens and teens in mind. 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 dimension to bedtime. Bunk beds with slides aren't just fun for children to climb up and down but also provide parents peace of mind that their children will be safe in the evening. These beds are perfect for children who struggle sleeping on higher levels. They can also be a great option for older kids to sleep.
When you are choosing a bunk that has a slide, take into account the size of the room and any furniture that is in it. Certain beds, such as the Casey Chestnut Kids Bunk Bed with Ladder and Slide, are perpendicular and need some extra space than other styles. This bed has a built-in slide and ladder to allow easy access to the top bunk.
Another option for adding a slide to a bunk bed is the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower. The Tower can be positioned on the short side of the bunk bed to decrease the space depth needed for a bed that has a slide. The depth can be reduced by 70cm depending on the assembly height. This permits you to install the bed for children that has slide in rooms that would normally be suitable.
In addition to bunk beds with a slide it is also possible to choose low loft beds that have slides. These beds are perfect for small bedrooms because they provide more space for storage and play. They can also be transformed into a twin-over-full bunk bed with a trundle to accommodate two more children for sleepovers. The adorable bunk bed with slide that you purchase can be rearranged to any Maxtrix combination as your child grows and changes.
It is essential to adhere to safety guidelines for loft beds and bunk beds. Make sure that you place the slide on a level surface, and away from other structures in the bedroom. It is also important to supervise your children while they are using the slide. Falls off could be dangerous.
Storage
Many bunk beds and lofts come with integrated drawers that provide a convenient solution for storing bedding clothes, toys, and other items. A good bunk bed can help you maximize space in a smaller space or make it easier to organize your child's bedroom.
Drawers that are built into the stairs combine safety and modernity and allow children to securely access their top bunk while keeping clothes, toys and other items organized. They can also serve as a fun, decorative accent for the kids' bedroom which adds to the aesthetic appeal. Some bunk beds that have stairs are also adjustable and you can alter the amount of space you have according to your family's requirements.
Some loft beds and bunk beds come with curtains to give children the feeling that they're in their own private space, even if they are sharing the same space. This feature is perfect for children who love to read or dream in tranquility. You can buy bunk and loft sets that feature curtains or use curtain rods and simple drapes to create the look yourself.
If your kids are screaming for bunk beds but you don't have the floor space to accommodate two elevated beds, you can consider a corner loft or twin loft. This design places two elevated beds in the corner of the room. It frees space for other furniture such as a desk or toy chest or a desk.
Bunk beds that have desks transform sleeping spaces into cozy study areas. These beds are ideal for children who need a quiet space to work on their assignments or play games. Some models, like the Slam bunk bed from Maxtrix comes with a solid wood desk with a matching bookcase so you can easily carve out a dedicated workspace in your kid's room.
Some lofts and bunk beds include a desk at the bottom. This is great for younger children who want their own space to write, read, or do crafts. This is a great way to help your child develop their creativity and develop their own skills in their rooms.
Style
The best bunk bed design for kids will depend on the size of your space and your child's sleeping habits. If you're living in a cramped space, consider a twin-over-twin arrangement that saves the floor space, while giving both children the pleasure of sleeping together up high. If you have taller ceilings, choose a staggered bunk layout such as the one shown. It keeps the ladder on the bottom and opens up the top bed making it easier for kids to climb up and down without smacking their heads.
A full-over-full configuration is another option for rooms with more space. It offers more storage in the form of a deep drawer at the bottom and allows older children to sleep on a higher level without feeling as if they're being pushed out by their younger siblings. The bunk beds are typically equipped with a ladder or staircase on the side that provides hidden storage for books and toys, and a solid safety rail.
If you're looking to keep the look of your bunks simple pick a plain solid color such as white or gray. These finishes can be incorporated into almost any kid's room, whether they have coastal, cottage or colorful palette. If you're looking for something more striking, an option with a wood finish, such as cherry or walnut would be a good option. It adds warmth and contrast to an edgy or rustic room.
Kids love decorating their bedrooms, so bunks offer an opportunity to express their creativity. Bunks with slides can be the centerpiece of a functional, fun kids' bedroom. 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.
For a striking appearance you can consider a bunk bed that has a colored staircase like this one from Furniture Row. Its stairway railings are available in red, blue and green and comes with three bunk bed color-matched mattresses. The staircase also features built-in shelves that can be used to store books and other objects making sure that the beds remain tidy and uncluttered.
