Bunk Beds With Ladders and Slides
If you're putting together siblings' rooms or expanding your floor space, or accommodating a full brood bunk beds can be a great use of small space. Keep an eye out for elements like angled ladders, slides and stairs that protrude.
It's a good idea not to hang anything from the top bunk, as it could pose an entrapment risk.
Ladders
It can be difficult for both adults and kids to climb up into the top bunk. While some may be enticed to climb up, this is risky for older children or those with joint problems. Ladders are a great solution to avoid this risk and provide a safe, comfortable and easy-to-climb entry point for kids.
There are a variety of ladder options available for kids bunk beds that include straight and angled versions. Straight ladders are attached directly to the frame of the bunk bed and angled ladders extend out slightly from either side. Angled ladders work well in smaller spaces and are suitable for all ages, since they offer more room for feet to climb up. Ladders also come in a variety of designs and colors so that you can pick one that is in keeping with the design of your room or matches the color scheme of your bunk.
A bunk bed with stairs built into the side is a excellent option. Stairs are more space-consuming than ladders, but they don't extend from the bed's sides. They are the ideal option for rooms with plenty of floor space. A lot of bunk beds for kids with stairs also feature convenient cubbies that double as bed storage, perfect for storing books, toys and pajamas.
If you're on the tightest budget straight ladders are an affordable option for a bunk bed. While it may not be as durable as a stair set, a straight ladder is still safe and sturdy enough for kids of all different ages to use. Stairs, on the other hand are a bit more expensive but they are extremely adaptable and will fit kids of all ages as they grow up.
The ladder can be moved to the side of the bunk bed. This minimalist design is aimed at tweens, teens and young adults. This design 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 make for a fun addition to bedtime. Bunk beds with slides aren't just fun for kids to climb up and down, but they also give parents the peace of mind knowing that their children will be secure at night. These beds are great for children who experience anxiety about sleeping at higher levels and can provide an enjoyable method of getting into bed, even for older kids.
When selecting best bunk beds for kids that has slide, you should consider the size of your child's bedroom and the furniture in it. Some beds, like the Casey Chestnut Kids' Bunk Bed with Ladder and Slide are perpendicular, and require a little more space than other styles. However, this bed offers the added benefit of a built-in ladder and slide for easy access to the top bunk.
Another option for adding an additional slide to a bunk bed is the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower. The Tower can be mounted on the shorter side of a bunk bed to reduce the room depth required for a bed that has a slide. It can be reduced by 70 cm depending on the assembly height. This permits you to install an infant bed with slide in rooms that would normally be suitable.
In addition to bunk beds that have slides, you can also choose low loft beds that have slides. These beds are perfect for bedrooms with smaller spaces because they offer more space on the floor for play and storage, and can also be used to make an over-full bunk bed with trundle - making it possible to accommodate two more children for sleepovers or guests. Like all of our kids' bunk and loft beds, the adorable bunk bed and slide you buy can be converted into any Maxtrix configuration over time as your children change and grow.
When it comes to safety, it's important to adhere to the general guidelines for bunk beds with slides and all types of kids loft beds. Make sure the slide is installed on an even surface and away from any other structures in the room. It is also essential to keep your children in check when they play on the slide. Falling off can be dangerous.
Storage
Many lofts and bunk beds come with integrated drawers which are a great solution for storing bedding clothes, toys, and other items. The best bunk bed will aid in maximizing space in a smaller room or make it easier to organize your child's bedroom.
Drawers built inside the stairs offer security and innovation, allowing children to safely access their top bunk while keeping clothes, toys and other items organized. 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 are also customizable, so you can tailor the space to your family's needs.
Some loft bed and bunk beds come with curtains that help kids feel like they have their own private space if they're in the same room. This feature is perfect for children who like to read or dream in the peace. You can purchase loft and bunk sets with curtains or create the look by yourself using curtains and rods.
If your kids are begging to sleep in bunk beds but you don't have enough space to accommodate two raised beds, 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, such as desks or a toy chest.
Bunk beds that have desks transform sleeping areas into cozy study spaces. These bunk beds are great for children who need an area to work in peace, study or play games. Certain models, like the Slam bunk bed from Maxtrix comes with a solid wooden desk that comes with a bookcase that matches which allows you to easily create a space in your kids' room.
Some lofts and bunk beds have a desk built in at the bottom. This is perfect for children in the early years who need their own space to write, read or make crafts. This is a great way for your child to develop their creativity and to learn on their own in their rooms.
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 a limited space, a twin-overtwin configuration can save the floor space, but still allow both children to sleep in the loft. If your ceilings are higher, you can choose staggered designs. The ladder is kept at the end and leaves the top bunk bed open. This allows children to climb up and back down without crashing into their heads.
A full-over-full arrangement is another excellent option for rooms that are larger. It allows for more storage space with a large drawer on the bottom and older children to sleep on the upper floor without feeling left out. These kinds of bunk beds usually come with a ladder at the side or a staircase that provides hidden storage for toys and books, and a sturdy railing that is slatted to ensure security.
If you want to keep the design of your bunks clean pick a plain solid color such as white or gray. These finishes will blend into any bedroom for children whether it's a coastal or cottage theme, or a colorful palette. If you're looking to make your room more appealing wood finishes like cherry or walnut is also a good choice. It brings warmth and contrast to a rustic or farm-inspired room.
Kids love to decorate their bedrooms, so bunks allow them to express their imagination. Bunks with slides can be the focal point of a fun and functional children's bedroom. 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.
