A StepByStep Guide For Kids Bunk Bed
Bunk Beds With Ladders and Slides
Bunk beds are a great way to make the most of space, whether you're looking to maximize the floor area or accommodating an entire family. Be on the lookout for items such as stairs that extend out from the ground, angled ladders and slides.
It's also an excellent idea to eliminate hanging objects from the top bunk as they can pose the risk of strangulation.
Ladders
To get into the top bunk of a bunk bed could be a daunting task for children and adults too. While bunk bed for kids 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 great solution to this issue and offer an appropriate and safe entry point for children.
There are many ladder options for bunk beds for kids including straight and angled ones. Straight ladders are connected directly to the frame of the bunk bed whereas an angled ladder is positioned slightly from the side of the bed. Angled ladders are a good choice for smaller spaces and are suitable for anyone of all ages since they provide more foot space to climb up the bunk. Ladders are also available in different designs and colors so that you can pick one that is in keeping with the design 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, yet they don't extend out of the bed's side. They're therefore the ideal choice for rooms that have plenty of space for floor. Many bunk beds for kids that have stairs also come with cubbies that double as storage for the bed, perfect for storing books, toys and pajamas.
If you're on a budget straight staircases are an option that is less expensive for bunk beds. Straight ladders may not be as durable as a staircase, but it's still durable and safe for children of all ages. Stairs however are a bit more expensive but they are also extremely versatile and can be used by children of all age groups as they grow older.
A fresh design option is to move the ladder towards the bottom of the bunk bed. This minimalist design is aimed 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 slide add a fun element 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 knowing that their children are safe in bed at night. These beds are ideal for kids who have anxiety about sleeping at higher levels. They can also be a fun way to get into bed even for older kids.
When choosing a bunk bed with slide, think about the size of the bedroom your child is in and any other furniture that is in it. Certain beds, like the Casey Chestnut Kids Bunk Bed with Slide and Ladder are perpendicular and require a bit more space than other styles of bunk beds. But, this bed offers the added benefit of having a built-in ladder and slide for easy access to the top bunk.
The Billi-Bolli Slide Tower is another option for adding slides to a bunkbed. The Tower can be mounted on the short side of the bed, which can reduce the room depth for a bunk bed with a slide by around 70 centimeters (depending on assembly height). This lets you put an infant bed with slides in rooms that wouldn't normally be suitable.
You can choose low loft beds that have slides, in addition to bunk beds with slides. These beds are ideal for small bedrooms, as they are more spacious to play and storage. They can also be transformed into a twin-over-full bunk bed with trundle to accommodate two children for sleepovers. Like all of our kids bunk and loft beds, the cute bunk bed and slide that you buy can be converted 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 all types of kids loft beds. Make sure that the slide is placed on an even surface and is away from any other structures within the room. It is also important to supervise your children when they play on the slide. The slide's fall could be dangerous.
Stores
Many lofts and bunk beds are equipped with drawers that offer a practical solution to store bedding as well as clothing and toys. A good bunk bed can make the most of the space you have in a smaller area or make it easier to organize your child's bedroom.
Drawers built in the stairs are a perfect combination of safety and modernity, allowing children to safely access their top bunk, while keeping their clothes as well as toys and other things neatly. They can also serve as an attractive, fun accent for the kids' bedroom which adds to the appeal of the room. Some bunk beds with stair storage are also customizable, so you can tailor the amount of space to the needs of your family.
Some loft and bunk beds come with curtains to help children feel like they have their own private space if they're in the same room. If your kids like to read and ponder in tranquility, this feature could be a huge benefit. You can purchase loft and bunk sets that come with curtains or make the look yourself by using curtain rods and simple drapes.
If your children are asking for bunk beds but you don't have the floor space to accommodate two elevated beds, you can consider a corner loft or twin loft. This design places two elevated beds in the corner of the room. It frees floor space to accommodate other furniture like a desk, a toy chest, or a desk.
Bunk beds that have desks transform sleeping areas into cozy study spaces. These bunk beds are perfect for children who need a quiet area to do their homework or play games. Some models, such as the Slam bunk bed from Maxtrix offers a solid wooden desk that comes with a bookcase to match so you can easily create a space in your kid's room.
Other bunk and loft beds offer a built-in desk at the bottom, which is ideal for kids younger than 10 who want a separate space to write, draw or read. This is an ideal way to promote creative thinking and learning in your children's rooms while helping them develop valuable organizational skills.
Style
The best bunk bed design for kids will be determined by the dimensions of your room as well as your child's sleeping habits. If you're living in a cramped space, consider a twin-over-twin arrangement that saves floor space while still offering both children the pleasure of sleeping together up high. If you have higher ceilings, choose a staggered bunk design like the one shown. It keeps the ladder on the bottom and leaves the top bed open which makes it easier for kids to climb up and down without bumping their heads.
For rooms with larger spaces, a full-over-full arrangement is a great choice. It gives more storage space in the form of a deep drawer at the bottom, and it allows older kids to sleep on a higher level without feeling they're being pushed out by their younger siblings. The bunk beds are typically equipped with a ladder or a staircase to the side that offers hidden storage for toys and books, as well a sturdy slatted safety rail.
If you're looking to keep your bunk beds basic, go with an uncluttered color like white or gray. These finishes will blend into any child's bedroom, whether it has coastal or cottage themes, or a colorful palette. If you're looking to make your room more appealing, a wood finish like walnut or cherry is a good choice. It can add warmth to a rustic or farmhouse-inspired room but also provides plenty of visual contrast through bright shades.
Bunks are a great way for children to express their creativity. Bunks with slides can be the focal point of a fun and functional children's bedroom. The slide will give hours of fun to your children as they slide down with their friends or take their favorite toy animal on rides.
