Bunk Beds With Ladders and Slides

Bunk beds are the ideal option to maximize space regardless of whether you're trying to maximize your floor area, or able to accommodate a large family. Be on the lookout for elements like angled ladders, slides and stairs that are protruding.

It's also a good idea to ban hanging items from the top bunk since they can be the risk of strangulation.

Ladders

It isn't easy for adults and children to get into the top bunk. While some may be tempted to climb up, this can be risky for older children or those with joint issues. Ladders can be a great option to reduce this risk and offer a safe, comfortable and easy-to-climb entry point for kids.

There are several ladder options for kids bunk beds , including straight and inclined ladders. 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 small spaces and are suitable for everyone, since they offer more room for the feet when climbing up. They also come in various designs and colors so that you can pick one that matches the style of your room or complements the color scheme of your bunk.


Another great option is to select bunk beds that have stairs at the end of the bunk. They are more space-consuming than ladders, yet they don't protrude out of the bed's sides. They are the ideal option for rooms with plenty of space for floor. Many bunk beds for kids include storage cubbies. They are perfect for books, toys, and pajamas.

If you are on a tight budget, a straight ladder is a more affordable option for bunk beds. Although it's not as luxurious as a set of stairs, a straight ladder is still safe and sturdy enough for children of all ages to use. Stairs however, are a bit more expensive, but they're also extremely versatile and can be used by kids of all ages as they grow up.

A new design choice is to move the ladder towards the bottom of the bunk bed. This minimalist design is targeted at tweens, teens and young adults. This style is available in all Maxtrix bunk sizes and heights including twin over twin and full over full.

Slides

Bunk beds with slides make for a fun addition to the bedtime routine. Bunk beds with slides aren't only fun for kids to climb up and down and down, but they also offer parents peace of mind that their children will be safe during the night. These beds are perfect for children who have difficulty sleeping on higher levels. They can also be a great way for older kids to get into bed.

When selecting a bunk bed with slide, keep in mind the dimensions of your child's bedroom and any other furniture that is there. Some beds, like the Casey Chestnut Kids Bunk Bed with Ladder and Slide, are perpendicular and need more space than other styles. But, this bed has the added benefit of having a built-in ladder and slide that allows 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 shorter side of the bunk bed to decrease the room depth required for a bed with slide. This can be reduced by 70 centimeters depending on the assembly height. This allows you to put a slide for your kids into rooms that wouldn't normally be suitable for this kind of bed.

You can choose low loft beds with slides, in addition to bunk beds with slides. These beds are great for small bedrooms, as they offer more space to play and storage. They can also be transformed into a twin-over-full-full bunk bed with a 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 buy can be converted into any Maxtrix combination over time as your children grow and change.

It's important that you adhere to safety guidelines for loft and bunk 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 supervise your children while using the slide, since it can be dangerous if they fall off.

Storage

A lot of loft and bunk beds have drawers that are integrated that provide a handy storage solution for clothing, bedding toys, and more. The right bunk bed can aid in maximizing space in a smaller space or organize an overcrowded children's bedroom.

Drawers that are built inside the stairs offer security and creativity that allows children to safely access their top bunk while keeping their clothes and toys well-organized. They can also be used as a decorative accent in the children's bedroom to increase the aesthetic appeal. Some bunk beds that have stair storage are also customizable which means you can adjust 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 help children feel like they have their own private space, even if they're sharing the same space. This feature is ideal for children who love to read or simply dream in the peace. You can buy bunk and loft sets with curtains or make the look by yourself using curtains and rods.

If your children are asking to sleep in bunk beds but you do not have the space to accommodate two elevated beds, you can consider a corner loft or twin loft. This style combines two raised beds in one corner of the room, freeing up floor space for other furniture, like an office or a toy chest.

Bunk beds with a desk transform sleeping spaces into cozy study nooks. They're perfect for children who require a quiet space to work on their homework or play their favourite games. Some models, like the Slam bunk bed from Maxtrix offers a solid wooden desk that comes with a bookcase to match so you can easily make a workspace in your kid's room.

Other bunk and loft beds come with a built-in desk on the bottom, perfect for kids younger than 10 who want a separate space to write, create or read. This is a fantastic way for your child to develop their creativity and develop their own skills in their rooms.

Style

The size of your bedroom and the sleeping habits of your child will determine the best style of bunk bed for your kids. If you have an area that is limited, a twin-overtwin configuration can save the floor space while allowing the children to share a bed in the loft. If you have higher ceilings, consider a staggered bunk layout like the one shown. The ladder is kept at the bottom, and leaves the top bunk bed unlocked. This allows children to climb up and down without hitting their heads.

For larger rooms the full-over-full arrangement is a great option. It provides more storage space with a large drawer on the bottom and older children to sleep on the upper level without feeling like they're left out. These bunk beds are usually equipped with a ladder or a staircase to the side that offers storage space for books and toys and a solid safety rail.

If you want to keep your bunk beds simple, choose a solid color, such as gray or white. These finishes go well with nearly every kid's room regardless of whether it's a cottage, coastal or vibrant palette. If you want something more eye-catching then a wood finish such as walnut or cherry is a good option. It adds warmth and contrast to the rustic or farm-inspired space.

Bunks are a great opportunity for kids to show their imagination. Bunks with a slide can be the focal point of a fun and functional bedroom for kids. The slide can provide hours of entertainment for your kids as they glide down with their pals or take their favorite toy animal on rides.

For a striking appearance you can consider a bunk bed with a color staircase, such as this one from Furniture Row. The railings for the stairway are available in red, blue, green or charcoal, and it comes with a set of three bunk bed color-matched mattresses. The staircase also comes with built-in shelves to store books and other items making sure that the beds remain tidy and uncluttered.
