15 Reasons You Shouldn't Overlook Kids Bunk Bed

Bunk Beds With Ladders and Slides

Bunk beds are a great way to maximize space, whether you're looking to maximize your floor area, or accommodating an entire family. Keep an eye out for things like stairs that jut out from the ground, angled ladders and slides.

It's also a good idea to ban 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 challenge for kids and adults too. Although some might be enticed to climb up, this could create a fall risk and is a risk for children, those with joint problems or who are older. Ladders can be a great option to avoid this risk and provide a safe comfortable and comfortable entry point for children.

There are several ladder options for kids' bunk beds, including straight and angled ladders. Straight ladders are attached directly to the bunk bed frame, while angled ladders stick out a little from either side. Angled ladders work well in small spaces and are suitable for all ages, because they provide more space for feet to climb up. They also come in different designs and colors so that you can pick one that complements the look of your room or complements the color scheme of your bunk.

Another option is to opt for bunk beds with stairs on the side of the bunk. Stairs take up more floor space than a ladder but don't protrude from the side of the bunk making them a great option for rooms that have plenty of floor space. Many  bunk beds for kids  have storage cubbies. They are ideal for toys, books, and pajamas.

If you're on the tightest budget, a straight ladder is an affordable bunk bed option. Straight ladders may not be as good as a stairset, but it's still sturdy and safe for children of all different ages. Stairs are more expensive, however they are versatile and can be used by children of any age.

The ladder can be moved to the end bunk bed. This offers a minimalist look created with teens and tweens in mind. 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 slides add a fun aspect to bedtime. Bunk beds with slides are not just fun for children to climb up and down, but they also give parents peace of mind that their children are safe in the evening. These beds are great for kids who have anxiety about sleeping at higher levels and can provide an enjoyable method of getting into bed, even for older kids.


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 a little more space than other styles of bunk beds. However, this bed also has 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 is affixed to the shorter side of the bed, which reduces the space depth for a bunk bed with a slide by about 70 cm (depending on assembly height). This allows you to put a slide for your kids into rooms that wouldn't normally be suitable for this kind of bed.

You can also choose low loft beds that come with slides in addition to bunks with slides. These beds are perfect for smaller rooms as they allow more floor space to play and storage and they can also be used to make a twin over full bunk bed with trundle - allowing you to accommodate two additional children for sleepovers or guests. The cute bunk bed with slide that you purchase can be rearranged 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 that have slides, as well as all kinds of loft beds for children. Make sure that you place the slide on a level surface, away from other structures in the bedroom. It is also recommended to supervise your children while using the slide, since it can be hazardous in the event of a fall.

Stores

A lot of loft and bunk beds come with drawers integrated to provide a convenient storage solution for clothing, bedding, toys and more. If you're looking to maximize space in a small room or provide additional organization in your already overcrowded kids bedroom, the right bunk bed with storage can aid.

Drawers built inside the stairs offer both safety and innovation and safety, allowing children to safely access their top bunk and keep their clothes, toys, and other things in order. They can also serve as a fun, decorative accent in the bedroom of your child, adding to the appeal of the room. Some bunk beds that include storage for stairs are also customizable which means you can adjust the space according to the needs of your family.

Some bunk and loft bed models are equipped with curtains that help kids feel as if they have their own private space if they're in the same room. This feature is great for children who love to read or just dream in peace. You can buy loft and bunk sets with curtains or make the look yourself using curtain rods and simple drapes.

If you're faced with a limited floor space and your children want bunk beds, but you can't accommodate two beds, think about a corner loft. This design incorporates two raised beds in one corner of the room, freeing the floor space to accommodate other furniture, such as an office or a toy chest.

Bunk beds with desks transform sleeping spaces into cozy study spaces. They're ideal for kids who need a quiet space to complete their homework or play their favourite games. Certain models, like the Slam bunk bed from Maxtrix comes with solid wood desks with a matching bookcase to make it easy to carve out a dedicated workspace in your kids' room.

Some loft beds and bunk beds offer a built-in desk on the bottom, perfect for younger kids who want a separate space to write, craft or read. This can be an ideal way to promote creative thinking and learning in the rooms of your children as well as helping them develop valuable organizational skills.

Style

The size of your bedroom and your child's sleep habits will determine the ideal design of bunk beds for your children. If you have a limited space the twin-overtwin design will reduce the floor space while allowing the children to share a bed in the loft. If you have higher ceilings, consider a staggered bunk design like the one shown here. It keeps the ladder at the end, and leaves the top bunk bed unlocked. This makes it easier for children to climb up and back down without hitting their heads.

A full-overfull configuration is a good choice for larger rooms. It allows for more storage with a deep drawer on the bottom and older children to sleep on the top level without feeling secluded. These bunk beds typically come with an incline on the side or a staircase which provides an out-of-sight area for toys and books, and a sturdy slatted railing for security.

If you're looking to keep your bunk beds simple, pick a solid color, such as gray or white. These finishes can be incorporated into almost any kid's room, whether they have coastal, cottage or colorful palette. If you're looking for something that's more eye-catching wood finishes like cherry or walnut is also an excellent choice. It provides warmth and a sense of contrast to a rustic or farm-inspired room.

Kids love to decorate their bedrooms, and bunk beds allow them to express their creative side. Bunks with a slide could be the center of a fun, functional bedroom for kids. Your kids will have hours of fun gliding down the slide with their pals and bringing their favorite animals on rides.

For a striking look, consider a bunk bed with a colored staircase like this one from Furniture Row. Its stairway railings come in green, red blue, or charcoal. It also has three bunk beds that match the color of the railings. The staircase is fitted with shelves into it for books and other objects. This makes sure that the beds are kept tidy and uncluttered.
