Bunk Beds With Ladders and Slides
Bunk beds are a great way to maximize space, whether you're maximizing your floor area, or accommodating an entire family. Be on the lookout for things such as stairs that extend out from the ground, angled ladders and slides.
It's a good idea not to hang anything from the top bunk, as it could pose strangulation risk.
Ladders
It can be a challenge for adults and kids to climb up into the top bunk. While some may be enticed to just climb up, this could pose a fall risk and is a risk for children, people suffering from joint issues or those who are older. Ladders can be a fantastic solution to this problem and offer a safe and comfortable entry point for children.
There are several ladder options for kids' bunk beds including straight and inclined ladders. Straight ladders attach directly to the bunk bed frame, while angled ladders stick out a little from either side. Angled ladders are ideal for small spaces and are suitable for all ages, since they offer more room for the feet when climbing up. Ladders are also available in different styles and colors so you can choose one that complements the look of your room or matches your bunk's color scheme.
A bunk bed with stairs built into the side is another fantastic option. Stairs take up more space than ladders, however they do not protrude out from the side of the bed. They're therefore the ideal choice for rooms that have plenty of floor space. A lot of bunk beds for kids with stairs also feature convenient cubbies that double as bed storage, ideal to store books, toys and pajamas.
If you are on an extremely tight budget, a straight ladder is an affordable bunk bed option. Straight ladders may not be as durable as a staircase, but it's still sturdy and safe for children of all different ages. Stairs are more expensive, but they are also very versatile and can be used by children of all ages.
A fresh design option is moving the ladder to the end of the bunk bed. This minimalist design is targeted at teens, tweens and young adults. This style is available with all Maxtrix bunk sizes and heights, including twin over twin full over full, and queen over queen.
Slides
Bunk beds with slides add an exciting addition to bedtime. Bunk beds with slides aren't just fun for kids to climb up and down, but they also give parents peace-of-mind that their children are secure in the evening. These beds are perfect for children who have difficulty sleeping on higher levels. They are also a great way for older kids to get into bed.
When choosing a bunk with slide, consider the size of the room and the furniture it is situated in. Certain beds, such as the Casey Chestnut Kids' Bunk Bed with Ladder and Slide are perpendicular, and require some extra space than other designs. This bed has a built-in slide and ladder for easy access to top bunk.
Another option for adding a slide to bunk beds 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 assembly). This lets you put the bed for children that has a slide in rooms that wouldn't normally be suitable.
You can pick low loft beds that have slides in addition to bunk beds with 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-full bunk bed with trundle to accommodate two children for sleepovers. The cute bunk bed with slide that you purchase can be rearranged into any Maxtrix model as your child grows and develops.
In terms of security, it's crucial to follow the guidelines for bunk beds that have slides, as well as all kinds of kids loft beds. Be sure to place the slide on a flat surface, and away from any other structures in the bedroom. It's also recommended that you supervise your children while using the slide, since it can be dangerous when they fall off.
Stores
Many bunk beds and lofts are equipped with drawers that offer a practical solution to store bedding, clothing, and toys. A good bunk bed can aid in maximizing the space you have in a smaller area or help you organize a crowded child's bedroom.
Drawers that are integrated in the stairs bring together innovation and safety, allowing kids to have access to their bunk beds while keeping their clothes as well as toys and other things in order. These drawers can also be used as an attractive feature in the children's bedroom to enhance its aesthetic appeal. Some bunk beds that have storage for stairs are also customizable, so you can customize the amount of space to the needs of your family.
Certain models of bunk beds and loft beds come with curtains to make children feel as if they're in their own space even if they are sharing the same room. If your kids are avid readers and enjoy reading in the quiet, this feature could be a big bonus. You can purchase loft and bunk sets with curtains or create the look by yourself using curtains and rods.
If you're faced with a limited floor space and your children are begging for bunks, but you can't accommodate two beds, you should consider a corner loft. This design incorporates two raised beds in one corner of the room, opening the floor space to accommodate other furniture like an office or a toy chest.
Bunk beds with desks transform sleeping spaces into cozy study nooks. These beds are ideal for kids who require a quiet space to work on their assignments or play games. Certain models, like the Slam bunk bed from Maxtrix offers a solid wood desk with a bookcase that matches so you can easily make a workspace in your child's room.
Other bunk beds and lofts 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 do crafts. This is a great way for your child to grow their imagination and to learn on their own in their rooms.
Style
The size of your bedroom as well as your child's sleep habits will determine the most suitable kind of bunk bed for your children. If you have a small space, you might want to consider a twin-overtwin arrangement that saves the floor space and gives each child the joy of sleeping together in a high position. If your ceilings are higher, you can go with a staggered design. The ladder is kept at the bottom, and leaves the top bunk bed open. This makes it easier for children to climb up and down without hitting their heads.
A full-over-full arrangement is another good choice for larger rooms. It provides more storage in the form of an extensive drawer on the bottom and it allows older kids to sleep on the higher level without feeling like they're being ignored by their younger siblings. The bunk beds are typically equipped with a ladder or staircase to the side that offers storage space for books and toys, and a solid safety rail.
If you're looking to keep the appearance of your bunks simple pick a plain solid color such as white or gray. These finishes will fit into any child's room regardless of whether it's a coastal or cottage theme, or a colorful palette. If you're looking to make your room more attractive wood finishes like walnut or cherry is an option. It provides warmth to an old-fashioned or farmhouse-style room, while still providing plenty of visual contrast with bright shades.
Kids love decorating their bedrooms, and bunk beds allow them to express their imagination. Bunks that have been stained or painted can be the focal point of a fun and functional bedroom for kids, especially if they come with a detachable slide. Your kids will have hours of fun playing on the slide with their buddies and bringing their favorite plush animals on rides.
For a striking look think about a bunk bed with a colored staircase, such as this one from Furniture Row. Its stairway railings come in red, green blue, charcoal or. 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 items. This ensures that both beds are neat and clutter-free.
