Bunk Beds With Ladders and Slides
When you're planning to furnish siblings' rooms, maxing out your floor space, or accommodating a whole family bunk beds can be a great use of small space. Be on the lookout for elements like the angled stairs, slides, and ladders that are protruding.
It's also a good idea to ban hanging items from the top bunk, as they can pose a strangulation risk.
Ladders
It can be a challenge for kids and adults to get into the top bunk. While some might be tempted to climb up, this can pose a fall risk and could be hazardous for children, people with joint issues or those who are older. Ladders can be a great 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 and angled ladders stand out a little from either side. Angled ladders are ideal for smaller spaces and are suitable for everyone, as they give more space for feet when climbing up. Ladders come in different colors and styles, so you can select one that matches the colors of your bunk or complements your room.
Another great option is to opt for a bunk bed with stairs that are located on the sides of the bunk. Stairs take up more space than a ladder but they do not extend from the side of the bunk so they are a good option for rooms with plenty of floor space. Many kids bunk beds with stairs also feature convenient cubbies that double as bed storage, perfect for storing books, toys and pajamas.
If you're on a budget, a straight staircase is an option that is less expensive for bunk beds. A straight ladder may not be as good as a stairset, but it's still durable and safe for children of all ages. Stairs, on the other hand are a bit more expensive, but they are also extremely versatile and can be used by children of all stages of development as they get older.
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 add a fun dimension to time at bedtime. Kids enjoy climbing up the ladder and sliding down the slide and down the slide, but bunk beds with slides give parents peace of mind that their children are safe at night. These beds are great for children who struggle sleeping at higher levels. They can also be a fun way for older children to sleep.
When selecting a bunk bed with slide, think about the size of the bedroom your child is in and the furniture in it. Some beds, such as the Casey Chestnut Kids Bunk Bed with Slide and Ladder, are perpendicular and require more space than other styles of bunk beds. 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 an additional slide to bunk beds is the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower. The Tower is affixed to the short side of the bed, which can reduce the room depth for a bunk bed that has a slide by around 70 cm (depending on assembly height). This allows you install an infant bed with a slide in rooms that would normally be suitable.
You can also choose low loft beds that come with slides, in addition to bunk beds with slides. These beds are ideal for smaller rooms as they allow more space on the floor for play and storage, and can be used to make the twin over full bunk bed with a trundle, making it possible to accommodate two more children for sleepovers or guests. Like all of our kids bunk and loft beds, this adorable bunk bed and slide you purchase can be transformed into any Maxtrix configuration in time as your children grow and change.
When it comes to security, it's crucial to follow the guidelines for bunk beds that have slides and other types of loft beds for kids. Make sure the slide is mounted on a level surface and away from any other structures in the room. It is also essential to supervise your children when they play on the slide. Falls off could be dangerous.
Storage
A lot of loft and bunk beds come with drawers integrated to provide a convenient storage solution for bedding, clothing toys, and more. Whether you're looking to maximize space in a small space or to provide more organization for an already overcrowded children's bedroom, the ideal bunk bed with storage can help.
bunk beds for kids that are built in the stairs are a perfect combination of safety and innovation and allow children to securely access their top bunk, while keeping their clothes, toys and other items well-organized. They can also be a fun, decorative accent in the bedroom of your child, adding to the appeal of the room. Some bunk beds that have stair storage are also customizable which means you can adjust the amount of space according to your family's requirements.
Some loft and bunk models come with curtains to help children feel as if they have their own private space if they're sharing a room. If your children love to read and dream in the quiet, this feature could be a huge benefit. You can buy bunks and loft sets with curtains or curtain rods, or simple drapes to make the look yourself.
If you have limited space for floor space and your kids are begging for bunks but you're not able to accommodate two raised beds, consider a corner loft. This design puts two elevated beds in the corner of the room. It allows space for other furniture, such as a desk or toy chest or a desk.
Bunk beds that have desks transform sleeping spaces into cozy study nooks. They're great for children who require a quiet space to work on their homework or play their favorite games. Certain models, like the Slam bunk bed from Maxtrix comes with a solid-wood desk and bookcase that match, so you can easily create a work area in your child's bedroom.
The other loft and bunk beds have a desk built at the bottom, which is ideal for younger kids who want a separate spot to write, draw or read. This is a great opportunity 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 dimensions of your room as well as your child's sleeping habits. If you're working with small space the twin-overtwin design will reduce floor space and still allow both children to sleep in the loft. If you have higher ceilings, consider a staggered bunk layout such as the one shown. It keeps the ladder on the other side and lets the top bed open making it easier for kids to climb up and down without bumping their heads.
A full-over-full arrangement is another good choice for larger rooms. It gives more storage space in the form of an extensive drawer on the bottom and allows older kids to sleep on the higher level without feeling as if they're being pushed out by their younger siblings. These bunk beds are usually equipped with a staircase or ladder to the side that offers storage space for books and toys and a solid safety rail.
If you're looking to keep your bunk beds basic, go with a solid color such as white or gray. These finishes go well with nearly every kid's room, whether they have a coastal, cottage or colorful palette. If you're looking for something that's more eye-catching, a wood finish like walnut or cherry is an option. It brings warmth and contrast to a rustic or farm-inspired room.
Kids love to decorate their bedrooms, so bunks provide a chance to show their imagination. Bunks that have been painted or stained can be the focal point of a fun and practical kids' bedroom, especially if they come with a slide that can be detached. The slide can give hours of fun to your children as they slide down with their pals or take their favorite toy animal on rides.
For a striking look you can consider a bunk bed with a color staircase, such as this one from Furniture Row. Its stairway railings come in green, red, blue or charcoal. It also comes with three bunk beds that are in the same color as the railings. The staircase also has built-in shelves that can be used to store books and other things, ensuring that both beds remain tidy and uncluttered.
