Why We Do We Love Kids Bunk Bed (And You Should Also!)

Bunk Beds With Ladders and Slides

Bunk beds are an excellent way to make the most of space, whether you're maximizing your floor space, or even allowing for a whole family. Keep an eye out for elements like stairs that protrude 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

It can be difficult for both kids and adults to climb up into the top bunk. While some might be tempted to climb up, this can be a risk of falling and is a risk for children, those with joint issues or those who are older. Ladders are a great way to reduce this risk and offer a safe, comfortable and easy-to-climb entry point for kids.

There are many ladder options for kids bunk beds including straight and angled versions. Straight ladders are attached directly to the frame of the bunk bed and angled ladders extend out slightly from either side. Angled ladders are a great choice for short spaces and are a breeze to use for everyone as they offer more space for feet to climb up the bunk. Ladders are available in many different styles and colors and designs, so you can pick one that is in keeping with the color scheme of your bunk or complements your room.

A bunk bed with stairs built into the side is another excellent option. Stairs are more space-consuming than ladders, but they don't protrude out from the side of the bed. They are therefore the ideal choice for rooms that have plenty of space on the floor. A lot of  bunk beds for kids  have storage cubbies. They are perfect for books, toys, and even pajamas.

If you're on a budget straight staircases are an option that is less expensive for bunk beds. Although it's not as luxurious as a stair set, a straight ladder is still safe and sturdy enough for kids of all different ages to use. Stairs are more expensive, however they are versatile and can be used by kids of any age.

The ladder can be moved to the end bunk bed. This minimalist design is targeted 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 an exciting addition to time at bedtime. Kids enjoy climbing the ladder and going 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 trouble sleeping on higher levels. They can also be a fun way for older children to get into bed.

When choosing a bunk with slide, take into account 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 a bit more space than other kinds of bunk beds. However, 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 bunk bed. The Tower can be positioned on the shorter side of a bunk bed to reduce the depth of the room required for a bed with slide. This can be reduced by 70 cm according to the height of the bed. This permits you to install a kids bed that has slide in rooms that would normally be suitable.

You can pick low loft beds that have slides, in addition to bunks with slides. These beds are great for small bedrooms, as they provide more space for storage and play. They can also be transformed into a twin-over full bunk bed with a trundle to accommodate two more children for sleepovers. The cute bunk bed with slide you purchase can be converted to any Maxtrix configuration as your child grows and changes.

When it comes to safety, it's important to adhere to the general guidelines for bunk beds with slides, as well as all kinds of kids loft beds. Be sure to place the slide on a level surface, away from other structures in the bedroom. It is also recommended that you be sure to supervise your children when using the slide, as it can be hazardous when they fall off.

Stores

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

Drawers built inside the stairs offer both innovation and safety that allows kids to safely access their bunk beds and keep their clothes, toys, and other items organized. 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 storage for stairs also include customizable options so you can customize the space to your family's needs.

Some bunk and loft bed models are equipped with curtains that help kids feel like they have their own space, even if they're in the same room. This feature is ideal for children who love to read or dream in tranquility. You can buy bunks and loft sets that have curtains or use curtain rods and simple drapes to create the look yourself.


If your kids are screaming for bunk beds, but you do not have the 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 space for other furniture, such as a desk, a toy chest, or a desk.

Bunk beds with desks turn sleeping spaces into cozy study areas. They're great for children who require a quiet place to work on homework assignments or play their favorite games. Some models, like the Slam bunk bed from Maxtrix offers solid wood desks with a bookcase that matches so you can easily make a workspace in your kid's room.

The other loft and bunk beds offer a built-in desk on the bottom, ideal for kids younger than 10 who want an area to write, create or read. This is a great opportunity to help your child grow their imagination and learn independently in their bedrooms.

Style

The dimensions of your bedroom and your child's sleep habits will determine the best style of bunk bed for your kids. If you're living in a cramped space, you might want to consider a twin-overtwin arrangement that saves the floor space and gives both children the pleasure of sleeping together in a high position. If your ceilings are higher than average, you can go with staggered designs. It places the ladder at the bottom and leaves the top bed open which makes it easier for kids to climb up and down without hitting their heads.

A full-overfull configuration is a option for rooms with more space. It provides more storage through a deep drawer at the bottom and allows older kids to sleep on the higher level without feeling they're being ignored by their younger siblings. These bunk beds typically come with an incline on the side or a staircase which provides out-of-sight storage for books and toys, as well as a strong slatted railing for safety.

If you're looking to keep your bunk beds basic, go with an uncluttered color like gray or white. These finishes go well with nearly every kid's room, whether they have coastal, cottage or vibrant palette. If you're looking for something more attractive wood finishes like walnut or cherry is an option. It provides warmth to an old-fashioned or farmhouse-style room and still provides plenty of visual contrast through bright colors.

Kids love to decorate their rooms, and bunk beds offer an opportunity to express their imagination. Bunks with slides can be the center of a functional, fun bedroom for kids. Your kids will have hours of fun sliding down the slide with their pals and taking their favorite animals on rides.

For a striking look you can consider a bunk bed that has a colored staircase, such as this one from Furniture Row. Its stairway railings are available in red, blue, green or charcoal and includes a set of three bunk beds with matching colors. The staircase also comes with built-in shelves for storing books and other items making sure that the beds remain tidy and uncluttered.
