Bunk Beds With Ladders and Slides
When you're planning to furnish rooms for siblings or maximizing your floor space, or accommodating a large family, bunk beds can make fantastic use of tiny spaces. Be on the lookout for things like angled stairs, slides, and ladders that extend.
It's also an excellent idea to eliminate hanging objects from the top bunk, as they can pose the risk of strangulation.
Ladders
It can be difficult for both adults and children to climb up into the top bunk. Although some might be enticed to just climb up, this could be a risk of falling and can be dangerous for children, people suffering from joint problems or are older. Ladders can be a great option to reduce this risk and offer a safe easy, comfortable and easy to climb entry point for kids.
There are a range of ladder options for bunk beds for children that include straight and angled versions. 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 work well in smaller spaces and are suitable for everyone, as they give more space for feet when climbing up. Ladders are available in many different colors and styles, so you can select one that complements the color scheme of your bunk or complements your room.
A bunk bed with stairs built into the side is another excellent option. Stairs require more floor space than a ladder, but they do not extend from the side of the bunk so they are a good choice for rooms with ample floor space. Many bunk beds for kids that have stairs also have cubbies that double as bed storage, perfect to store books, toys and pajamas.
If you are on an extremely tight budget straight ladders are a more affordable option for a bunk bed. Straight ladders may not be as good as a staircase, but it's still durable and safe for children of all age groups. The cost of a stairway is higher, but they are also very versatile and can be used by children of all ages.
A fresh design option is to move the ladder to the end of the bunk bed. This gives a sleek look that was designed with teens and tweens 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 slides add a thrilling aspect to the bedtime routine. Not only do kids enjoy climbing the ladder and down the slide, but bunk beds with slides provide parents with peace of mind that their children are safe in bed at night. These beds are ideal for children who have trouble sleeping at higher levels. They can also be a fun option for older kids to sleep.
When selecting a bunk bed with a slide, think about the size of the room and the furniture it is situated in. Some beds, like the Casey Chestnut Kids Bunk Bed with Ladder and Slide are perpendicular and require more space than other types of. However, this bed also has the added benefit of a built-in ladder and slide to allow 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 positioned on the shorter side of the bunk bed to reduce the room depth required for a bed with slide. It can be reduced by 70cm depending on the height of the assembly. This lets you put an infant bed with slide in rooms that wouldn't normally be suitable.
You can also choose low loft beds with slides as well as bunks with slides. These beds are ideal for bedrooms with small spaces, since they offer more space to play and storage. They can also be converted into a twin-over-full bunk bed that has a trundle in order to accommodate two more children for sleepovers. Like all of our kids bunk and loft beds, the cute bunk bed and slide you buy can be converted into any Maxtrix configuration over time as your children change and grow.
In terms of safety, it's important to adhere to the general guidelines for bunk beds that have slides and other types of kids loft beds. Make sure that the slide is installed on a level 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. Falls off could be dangerous.
Stores
A lot of loft and bunk beds feature integrated drawers to offer a convenient storage solution for bedding, clothing toys and more. Whether you're looking to make the most of space in a tiny room or create more organization for an already overcrowded kids bedroom, the right bunk bed with storage will assist.
Drawers built in the stairs are a perfect combination of safety and creativity that allows children to safely access their top bunk while keeping clothes as well as toys and other things organized. They can also be a fun, decorative accent for the kids' bedroom, adding to the aesthetic appeal. Some bunk beds that have stair storage are also customizable and you can alter the amount of space you have according to your family's needs.
Some loft bed and bunk bed models are equipped with curtains to help children feel like they have their own space, even if they're in the same room. This feature is perfect for children who like to read or just dream in peace. You can purchase loft and bunk sets that come with curtains or make the look by yourself using curtain rods and simple drapes.
If your kids are begging to sleep in bunk beds but you do not have the space to accommodate two raised beds, try a corner loft or twin loft. This style places two raised beds in the corner of the room. It allows floor space to accommodate other furniture like a desk, a toy chest, or a desk.
Bunk beds with a desk transform sleeping spaces into cozy study nooks. These bunk beds are great for kids who require a quiet area to study or play games. Some models, like the Slam bunk bed by Maxtrix comes with a solid-wood desk as well as a matching bookcase that allows you to create a work area in your child's room.
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 make crafts. This is a fantastic way for your children to discover their creative side and develop their own skills in their bedrooms.
Style
The best bunk bed design for kids will depend on the size of your room and your child's sleeping habits. If you're working with an area that is limited, a twin-overtwin configuration will reduce the floor space while allowing both children to sleep together in the loft. If your ceilings are higher than average, you can go with a staggered layout. It keeps the ladder at the bottom, and leaves the top bunk bed unlocked. This allows children to climb up and down without crashing into their heads.
For rooms with larger spaces the full-over-full arrangement is also a good option. It provides more storage by way of a deep drawer on the bottom and allows older children to sleep on the higher level without feeling they're being pushed out by their younger siblings. These bunk beds typically have a ladder on the side or a staircase which provides an out-of-sight area for books and toys, and a sturdy railing with slats for safety.
If kids bunk bed want to keep the look of your bunks basic, opt for a plain solid color such as gray or white. These finishes will blend into any bedroom for children regardless of whether it's coastal or cottage themes or a vibrant palette. If you're looking for something more attractive and appealing, a wood finish such as cherry or walnut is also a good choice. It brings warmth and contrast to a rustic or farm-inspired room.
Bunks are a fantastic way for children to express their creativity. Bunks with a slide could be the focal point of a fun, functional children's bedroom. The slide can give hours of fun to your children as they slide down with their friends or take their favorite plush animal on rides.
