Bunk Beds With Ladders and Slides
If you're putting together siblings' rooms, 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 such as stairs that extend out or angled ladders, slides and angled ones.
It's a good idea not to hang anything from the top bunk as it can be strangulation risk.
Ladders
It can be a challenge for kids and adults to climb up into the top bunk. Although some might be enticed to climb up, this can create a fall risk and could be hazardous for children, people with joint problems or who are older. Ladders are a great way to reduce this risk and provide a safe, comfortable and easy-to-climb entry point for children.
There are several ladder options for kids bunk beds , including straight and inclined ladders. Straight ladders connect directly to the frame of the bunk bed whereas 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 feet to climb up. Ladders are available in a variety of different colors and styles and designs, so you can pick one that matches the scheme of your bunk or compliments your room.
A bunk bed with stairs built into the side is a excellent option. Stairs take up more space than a ladder, but do not protrude from the side of the bunk so they are a good option for rooms with plenty of floor space. Many bunk beds for kids have storage cubbies. They are great for toys, books, and pajamas.
If you're on a budget straight staircases are a cheaper option for bunk beds. While it may not be as luxurious as a set of stairs, a straight ladder is still solid and safe enough for children of all different ages to use. Stairs however are a bit more expensive, but they are also extremely flexible and will fit kids of all age groups as they grow older.
The ladder can be moved to the end of the bunk bed. This style is minimalist and designed with tweens and teens in mind. This style is available in all Maxtrix bunk sizes and heights including twin over twin and full over full.
Slides
Bunk beds with slides add a thrilling aspect to bedtime. Bunk beds with slides aren't just fun for children to climb up and down, but they also give parents peace-of-mind that their children will be safe in the evening. These beds are ideal for children who struggle sleeping on higher levels. They can also be a fun option for older kids to sleep.
When choosing a bunk bed that has slide, keep in mind the size of your child's bedroom and any other 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 comes with the added benefit of having a built-in ladder and slide to allow easy access to the top bunk.
Another option to add a slide to a bunk bed is the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower. The Tower mounts onto the shorter side of the bed, which can reduce the required room depth for a bunk bed that has a slide by around 70 cm (depending on assembly height). This allows you to put a slide for your kids into rooms that would not normally be suitable for this kind of bed.
You can pick low loft beds with slides, in addition to bunks with slides. These beds are perfect 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 that has a trundle in order to accommodate two more children for sleepovers. The adorable bunk bed with slide that you buy can be transformed into any Maxtrix model as your child grows and changes.
In terms of safety, it's important to follow the guidelines for bunk beds that have slides and other types of loft beds for children. Make sure that the slide is mounted on a level surface and away from any other structures within the room. It is also crucial to supervise your children when they are using the slide. Falls off could be dangerous.
Storage
Many bunk and loft beds have drawers that are integrated that provide a handy 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 to an already crowded kids ' bedroom, a bunk bed with storage could aid.
Drawers that are integrated inside the stairs offer both innovation and safety that allows kids to access their top bunk while keeping their clothes, toys, and other items organized. These drawers can also be used as an attractive accent in the children's bedroom to enhance its aesthetic appeal. Some bunk beds that include storage for stairs are also customizable which means you can adjust the amount of space according to your family's needs.
Some models of bunk beds and loft beds have curtains to make children feel as if they are in their own private space, even if they are sharing the same room. If your kids are avid readers and enjoy reading in peace, this feature can be a great benefit. You can buy bunk and loft sets that have curtains or use curtain rods and simple drapes to create the look yourself.
If your children are asking to sleep in bunk beds but you don't have enough space to accommodate two elevated beds, try a corner loft or twin loft. This design incorporates two raised beds in one corner of the room, while freeing up floor space for other furniture like an office or a toy chest.
Bunk beds with desks transform sleeping areas into cozy study nooks. These beds are ideal for kids who require a quiet space to do their homework or play games. Some models, like the Slam bunk bed by Maxtrix comes with a solid-wood desk and the bookcase to match which means you can create a space for work in your child's bedroom.
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 an excellent way to encourage the development of creativity and independent learning in your kids' rooms while helping them develop important organizational skills.
Style
The best bunk bed style for kids will depend on the size of your space and your child's sleeping habits. If you have a small space, think about a twin-over-twin configuration that conserves the floor space, while giving each child the joy of sleeping together up high. If you have taller ceilings, opt for an angled bunk like the one shown here. It keeps the ladder at the end and leaves the top bed open, making it easier for children to climb up and down without bumping their heads.
A full-over-full configuration is another good choice for larger rooms. It allows for more storage with a deep drawer on the bottom and older children to sleep on the upper floor without feeling secluded. The bunk beds are typically equipped with a staircase or ladder to the side that offers storage space for books and toys as well a solid safety rail.
If you're looking to keep your bunk beds simple, pick an uncluttered color like white or gray. These finishes go well with the majority of kids' rooms regardless of whether they're coastal, cottage or colorful palette. If you're looking for something that's more attractive wood finishes like cherry or walnut is also an excellent choice. It can add warmth to an old-fashioned or farmhouse-style room and still provides plenty of visual contrast with bright shades.
Kids love to decorate their bedrooms, so bunks offer an opportunity to express their creativity. Bunks with slides can be the focal point of a fun and functional kids' bedroom. Your kids will have a blast gliding down the slide with their friends and bringing their favorite plush animals on rides.

It also includes three bunk beds that match the color of the railings. The staircase also has built-in shelves that can be used to store books and other items and ensuring that both beds are clean and tidy.
