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. Keep an eye out for elements such as the angled stairs, slides, and ladders that are protruding.
It's a good idea not to hang anything from the top bunk, as it could be a strangulation hazard.
Ladders
To get into the top bunk of a bunk bed could be a daunting task for children and adults as well. While some may be enticed to climb up, this is risky for older children or those with joint problems. Ladders are a great way to avoid this risk and provide a safe, comfortable and easy-to-climb entry point for children.
There are a range of ladder options available for bunk beds for children that include straight and angled versions. Straight ladders attach directly to the frame of the bunk bed while an angled ladder is positioned slightly from the bed's side. Angled ladders are ideal for smaller spaces and are suitable for all ages as they give more space for the feet when climbing up. Ladders are available in a variety of different styles and colors and designs, so you can pick one that complements the scheme of your bunk or complements your room.
Another option is to select bunk beds 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 include storage cubbies. They are ideal for books, toys, and pajamas.
If you are on a tight budget straight ladders are an affordable bunk bed option. Straight ladders may not be as good as a staircase, but it is still sturdy and safe for children of all ages. Stairs are more expensive but they are also very versatile and can be used by kids of any age.
A new design option is moving the ladder to the bottom of the bunk bed. bunk bed for kids is aimed at teens, tweens and young adults. This style is available in all Maxtrix bunk height and size configurations, including twin over twin and full over full.
Slides
Bunk beds with slides add a fun dimension to the bedtime routine. Not only do kids enjoy climbing the ladder and sliding down the slide, but bunk beds with slides provide parents with peace of mind knowing that their children are safe in bed at night. These beds are great for children who have difficulty sleeping at higher levels. They are also a great option for older kids to get into bed.
When selecting a bunk bed with a slide, consider the dimensions of the room as well as any furniture in it. Certain beds, like the Casey Chestnut Kids Bunk Bed with Slide and Ladder are perpendicular, and require more space than other styles of bunk beds. However, this bed comes with 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 bunk beds is the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower. The Tower can be mounted on the short side of the bed, which can reduce the room depth for a bunk bed with slide by about 70 cm (depending on assembly height). This permits you to install a kids bed that has a slide in rooms that would not normally be suitable.
You can choose low loft beds that have slides as well as bunks with slides. These beds are great for bedrooms with small spaces, since they provide more space for storage and play. They can also be converted into a twin-over full bunk bed with trundle to accommodate two extra children for sleepovers. Like all of our kids' bunk and loft beds, the cute bunk bed and slide that you purchase can be made into any Maxtrix configuration as your children change and grow.

It is also crucial to supervise your children while they are using the slide. The slide's fall could be dangerous.
Storage
Many bunk and loft beds have drawers that are integrated to offer a convenient storage solution for clothing, bedding toys, and more. The right bunk bed can make the most of the space you have in a smaller area or help you organize a crowded child's bedroom.
Drawers that are integrated into the stairs combine the latest technology and safety, allowing kids to safely access their bunk bed and keep their clothes as well as toys and other items organized. They can also serve as an attractive, fun accent for the kids' bedroom, adding to the appeal of the room. Some bunk beds with storage for stairs also include customizable options so you can adjust the amount of space to the needs of your family.
Some loft and bunk models come with curtains to help children feel like they're in their own private space if they're in the same room. If your children like to read and ponder in the quiet, this feature could be a big bonus. You can buy bunk and loft sets with curtains or create the look yourself by using curtain rods and simple drapes.
If your children are asking for bunk beds but you don't have enough space to accommodate two raised beds, try a corner loft or twin loft. This design combines two elevated beds in one corner of the room, freeing up floor space for other furniture, such as a desk or a toy chest.
Bunk beds with desks turn sleeping spaces into cozy study nooks. They're perfect for kids who need an area to work on homework assignments or play their favorite games. Certain models, like the Slam bunk bed by Maxtrix include an solid-wood desk and a the bookcase to match that allows you to create a work area in your child's bedroom.
Other bunk and loft beds have a desk built on the bottom, ideal for younger kids who want an area to write, create or read. This is a great way for your child to develop their creativity and to learn on their own in their rooms.
Style
The best bunk bed style for children will depend on the size of your room and your child's sleeping habits. If you have a small space, you might want to consider a twin-overtwin configuration that conserves floor space while still offering both children the pleasure of sleeping in a bed together high. If you have higher ceilings, choose a staggered bunk layout such as the one shown. It keeps the ladder at the bottom and lets the top bed open, making it easier for kids to climb up and down without smacking their heads.
A full-over-full configuration is another good choice for larger rooms. It offers more storage space with a large 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 an incline on the side or a staircase that offers an out-of-sight area for toys and books as well as a sturdy railing with slats for safety.
If you want to keep your bunk beds simple, pick an uncluttered color like white or gray. These finishes can be incorporated into any child's bedroom, whether it has a cottage or coastal theme or a vibrant palette. If you're looking to make your room more attractive, a wood finish like walnut or cherry is an option. It provides warmth and a sense of contrast to the rustic or farm-inspired space.
Bunks are a great opportunity for kids to show their creativity. Bunks with a slide can be the centerpiece of a functional, fun kids' bedroom. The slide will offer hours of fun for your children as they slide down with their pals or take their favorite toy animal on rides.
