Bunk Beds With Ladders and Slides
When you're planning to furnish rooms for siblings, maxing out your floor space, or accommodating a whole family bunk beds can make excellent use of small space. Be on the lookout for things like the angled ladders, slides and stairs that extend.
It's also a good idea to ban hanging items from the top bunk because they could pose a strangulation risk.
Ladders
Getting into the top bunk of a bunk bed could be a challenge for kids and adults alike. While some may be enticed to climb up, this is dangerous for older people, children or those with joint problems. Ladders are a great way to avoid this risk and provide a safe comfortable and comfortable entry point for kids.
There are a variety of ladder options available for bunk beds for children including straight and angled versions. Straight ladders connect directly to the frame of the bunk bed, while an angled ladder extends slightly from the side of the bed. Angled ladders are an excellent option for small spaces and are a breeze to use for everyone as they offer more space for feet when climbing up the bunk. Ladders are available in a variety of different colors and styles and designs, so you can pick one that matches the color scheme of your bunk or compliments your room.
Another option is to opt for a bunk bed with stairs that are located on the sides of the bunk. Stairs are more space-consuming than ladders, but they don't extend out of the bed's side. They're therefore an ideal option for rooms with plenty of space for floor. Many kids bunk beds come with cubbies for storage. They are great for toys, books, and even pajamas.
If you are on an extremely tight budget straight ladders are an affordable option for bunk beds. Straight ladders may not be as durable as a stairset, but it is still sturdy and safe for children of all different ages. Stairs are more expensive however, they are versatile and can be used by kids of any age.
The ladder can be moved to the end bunk bed. This minimalist design is targeted at teens, tweens 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 the bedtime routine. Bunk beds with slides are not just fun for children to climb up and down but also provide parents peace-of-mind that their children are secure during the night. These beds are ideal for kids who have anxiety about sleeping on higher levels and can be a a fun way to get into bed, even for older kids.
When you are choosing a bunk that has 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 some extra space than other styles. However, this bed comes with the added benefit of a built-in ladder and slide for easy access to the top bunk.
Another option to add a slide to a bunk bed is the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower. The Tower can be mounted on the short side of the bed which reduces the room depth for a bunk bed that has a slide by around 70 centimeters (depending on the height of the assembly). This allows you to put the slide bed for kids into rooms that wouldn't normally be suitable for this kind of bed.
In addition to bunk beds that have slides it is also possible to choose low loft beds that have slides. These beds are great for small bedrooms because they are more spacious to play and storage. They can also be transformed into a twin-over-full-full bunk bed with trundle to accommodate two more children for sleepovers. Like all of our kids' bunk and loft beds, this adorable bunk bed and slide that you purchase can be transformed into any Maxtrix combination as your children change and grow.
When it comes to safety, it's essential to follow general guidelines for bunk beds with slides, as well as all kinds of kids loft beds. Make sure that you place the slide on a level surface, away from other structures in the bedroom. It is also recommended that you keep your children safe while playing on the slide, as it could be dangerous if they fall off.
Stores
Many bunk and loft beds come with drawers integrated that provide a handy storage solution for bedding, clothing toys, and more. A good bunk bed can help you maximize space in a smaller space or help you organize a crowded child's bedroom.
Drawers that are integrated into the stairs combine innovation and safety, allowing kids to access their bunk bed, while keeping clothes toys, clothes, and other items organized. These drawers can also be used as a decorative feature in the bedroom of children to enhance its aesthetic appeal. Some bunk beds that include stair storage are also customizable and you can alter the amount of space you have according to the needs of your family.
Certain models of loft beds and bunk beds come with curtains to make children feel as if they are in their own private space, even if they share the same space. If your kids like to read and ponder in the quiet, this feature could be a big bonus. You can buy bunks and loft sets that feature curtains or use curtain rods and simple drapes to create the appearance yourself.
If you're faced with a limited area for flooring and your children are screaming for bunk beds however you aren't able to fit two beds, you should consider a corner loft. This design places two elevated beds in a corner of the room. It frees up floor space to accommodate other furniture such as a desk, a toy chest, or a desk.
Bunk beds that have desks transform sleeping spaces into cozy study spaces. These bunk beds are perfect for kids who require an area to work in peace, work on their assignments or play games. Certain models, like the Slam bunk bed from Maxtrix, offer a solid wooden desk that comes with a bookcase that matches so you can easily make a workspace in your child's room.
Lofts and bunk beds also have a desk built in at the bottom. This is ideal for kids who are young and want their own space to write, read, or make crafts. This is a great opportunity for your children to develop their creativity and learn independently in their rooms.
Style
The dimensions of your bedroom and the sleeping habits of your child will determine the best kind of bunk bed for your kids. If you have a small space, you might want to consider a twin-overtwin arrangement that saves the floor space, while giving both children the thrill of sleeping together in a high position. If you have higher ceilings, consider a staggered bunk layout like the one shown here. It places the ladder at the bottom and opens up the top bed, making it easier for children to climb up and down without smacking their heads.
For larger rooms the full-over-full arrangement is also a good option. It offers more storage space, with a deep drawer on the bottom and older children to sleep on the top level without feeling like they're left out. These bunk beds usually come with a ladder at the side or a staircase that provides an out-of-sight area for books and toys, and a sturdy railing with slats for safety.
If you want to keep the design of your bunks basic, opt for a plain solid color like white or gray. These finishes can be incorporated into any child's room whether it's coastal or cottage themes or a vibrant palette. If you want something more appealing, then a wood finish such as cherry or walnut would be a good option. It provides warmth and a sense of contrast to a rustic or farm-inspired room.
Bunks are an excellent way for children to express their creative side. Bunks that have been stained or painted can be the centerpiece of a fun and practical kids' bedroom especially if they come with a slide that can be detached. The slide can offer hours of fun for your kids as they glide down with their pals or take their favorite toy animal on rides.
For a striking look you can consider a bunk bed that has a colored staircase, such as this one from Furniture Row. The stairway railings come in red, blue and green, and it comes with a set of three bunk beds that are color-matched. The staircase has shelves built into it for books and other items. This ensures that both beds are neat and clutter-free.
