Bunk Beds With Ladders and Slides
Whether you're outfitting rooms for siblings or maximizing your floor space or accommodating a full brood bunk beds can make great use of small space. Be on the lookout for things like stairs that jut out, angled ladders and slides.
It's a good idea to not to hang anything from the top bunk, as it can be strangulation risk.
Ladders
The top bunk of a bunk bed can be a challenge for kids and adults too. While some may be enticed to simply climb up, this can be a risk of falling and is a risk for children, people with joint problems or who are older. Ladders are a great way to reduce this risk and offer a safe comfortable and comfortable entry point for kids.
There are a range of ladder options for kids bunk beds, including straight and angled ladders. Straight ladders connect directly to the frame of the bunk bed, while an angled ladder sticks out slightly from the side of the bed. Angled ladders are ideal for small spaces and are suitable for everyone, as they give more space for the feet when climbing up. 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 matches your room.
Another alternative is to choose bunk beds with stairs that are located on the sides of the bunk. Stairs are more space-consuming than ladders, but they don't extend out of the bed's sides. They are an ideal choice for rooms that have plenty of space on the floor. A lot of bunk beds for kids come with cubbies for storage. They are perfect for toys, books, and pajamas.
If you're on a budget straight staircases are a cheaper option for bunk beds. Although it's not as high-quality as a stair set straight ladders are solid and safe enough for children of all ages to use. Stairs however, are a bit more expensive, but they're extremely adaptable and can be used by children of all age groups as they grow older.
A fresh design option is moving the ladder to the top of the bunk bed. This offers a minimalist look that was designed with teens and tweens 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 provide a fun aspect to bedtime. Kids love 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 great for children who experience anxiety about sleeping on higher levels and can provide an enjoyable way to get into bed, even for older kids.
When selecting a bunk bed with a slide, take into account the dimensions of the room as well as any furniture in it. Some beds, like the Casey Chestnut Kids' Bunk Bed with Ladder and Slide are perpendicular and require some extra space than other styles. The bed is equipped with a slide and ladder that allows 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 shorter side of the bed, which reduces the space depth for a bunk bed with a slide by around 70 centimeters (depending on assembly height). This lets you put an infant bed with a slide in rooms that would not normally be suitable.
In addition to bunk beds that have a slide it is also possible to choose low loft beds that have slides. These beds are great for bedrooms with small spaces, since they provide more space to play and storage. They can also be transformed into a twin-over-full-full bunk bed with trundle to accommodate two more 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 combo in time as your children grow and change.
It is crucial to adhere to the safety guidelines for bunk beds and loft beds. Make sure that the slide is mounted on an even surface and away from any other structures within the room. It is also recommended that you be sure to supervise your children when using the slide, as it can be dangerous when they fall off.

Many bunk and loft beds feature integrated drawers to provide a convenient storage solution for clothing, bedding toys, and more. Whether you're looking to make the most of space in a tiny space or to provide more organization in your already overcrowded children's bedroom, the ideal bunk bed with storage will help.
Drawers built inside the stairs offer security and innovation that allows children to safely access their top bunk, while keeping their clothes as well as toys and other things organized. These drawers can be used as an attractive accent in the children's bedroom to increase the aesthetic appeal. Some bunk beds with storage for stairs are also customizable which means you can adjust the amount of space according to your family's requirements.
Some loft beds and bunk beds have curtains that make children feel as if they are in their own space, even if they're sharing 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 that have curtains or use curtain rods and simple drapes to create the appearance yourself.

This design incorporates two raised beds in one corner of the room, opening up floor space for other furniture, such as a desk or a toy chest.
Bunk beds that have desks transform sleeping spaces into cozy study areas. These beds are ideal for kids who require a quiet area to work on their assignments or play games. Some models, like the Slam bunk bed from Maxtrix offers a solid wooden desk that comes with a bookcase that matches so you can easily make a workspace in your kids' room.
Some lofts and bunk beds come with a desk at the bottom. This is perfect for younger children who want their own space to write, read or create crafts. This can be an excellent way to encourage independent learning and creativity in your kids' rooms while helping them develop important organizational skills.
Style
The dimensions of your bedroom and the habits of your child's sleep will determine the best kind of bunk bed for your children. If you're in a tight space, you might want to consider a twin-overtwin configuration that conserves the floor space and gives both children the thrill of sleeping in a bed together high. If you have taller ceilings, consider an angled bunk like the one shown. The ladder is kept at the end, and leaves the top bunk bed open. This allows children to climb up and down without hitting their heads.
For larger rooms, a full-over-full arrangement is a great choice. It gives more storage space in the form of an extensive drawer at the bottom and allows older children to sleep on the higher level without feeling as if they're being pushed out by their younger siblings. These kinds of bunk beds usually come with a ladder 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 the design of your bunks simple choose a simple solid color such as white or gray. These finishes go well with nearly every kid's room, whether they have a cottage, coastal or vibrant palette. If bunk bed for kids looking for something more appealing, then a wood finish like walnut or cherry would be an excellent choice. It brings warmth and contrast to an edgy or rustic room.
Kids love to decorate their bedrooms, so bunks provide a chance to show their imagination. Bunks that have been stained or painted can be the focal point of a fun and functional kids bedroom especially if they come with a slide that is detachable. Your children will have hours of fun sliding down the slide with their pals and bringing their favorite plush animals on rides.
For a striking look, consider a bunk bed with a color staircase like this one from Furniture Row. The railings for the stairway are available in red, blue and green and includes a set of three bunk beds with matching colors. The staircase also has built-in shelves that can be used to store books and other items and ensuring that both beds remain tidy and uncluttered.
