Bunk Beds With Ladders and Slides
Whether you're outfitting rooms for siblings, maxing out your floor space, or accommodating a full brood bunk beds can be a excellent use of small space. Keep an eye out for elements like stairs that protrude out from the ground, angled ladders and slides.
It's also recommended to remove hanging items from the top bunk as they can pose the risk of strangulation.
Ladders
Getting into the top bunk of a bunk bed could be a daunting task for children and adults alike. While some might be tempted to climb up, this could create a fall risk and could be hazardous for children, those with joint problems or who are older. Ladders are a great way to avoid this risk and provide a secure comfortable and comfortable entry point for kids.
There are several ladder options for kids bunk beds, including straight and angled ladders. 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 option for small spaces and are suitable for everyone as they provide more foot space when climbing up the bunk. Ladders are available in many different styles and colors, so you can select one that matches the color scheme of your bunk or matches your room.
Another great alternative is to choose bunk beds with stairs that are located on the sides of the bunk. Stairs take up more floor space than a ladder, but don't protrude from the side of the bunk so they are a good option for rooms with plenty of floor space. A lot of bunk beds for kids have storage cubbies. They are great for toys, books, and even pajamas.
If you're on a budget, a straight staircase is a cheaper option for bunk beds. Although it might not be as durable as a stair set, a straight ladder is still secure and durable enough for children of all ages to use. Stairs however are a bit more expensive, but they're also extremely flexible and can be used by children of all stages of development as they get older.
A new 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 that have slides make for a fun addition to bedtime. Not only do kids enjoy climbing the ladder and going down the slide and down the slide, but bunk beds with slides give parents peace of mind knowing that their children are safe at night. These beds are great for children who have difficulty sleeping on higher levels. They are also a great option for older kids to fall asleep.
When choosing a bunk with slide, take into account the size of the room and any 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 types of bunk beds. However, this bed comes with the added benefit of a built-in ladder and slide for easy access to the top bunk.
Another option to add a slide to a bunk bed is the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower. The Tower can be mounted on the shorter side of the bed which can reduce the space depth for a bunk bed that has a slide by around 70 cm (depending on assembly height). This allows you to install the slide bed for kids in rooms that would normally not be suitable for this type of bed.
You can choose low loft beds that come with slides, in addition to bunk beds with slides. These beds are great for small bedrooms because they provide more space for storage and play. They can also be converted into a twin-over-full-full bunk bed that has a trundle in order to accommodate two extra children for sleepovers. The cute bunk bed with slide that you buy can be transformed to any Maxtrix combination as your child grows and changes.
In terms of safety, it's essential to follow the guidelines for bunk beds with slides, as well as all kinds of kids loft beds. Make sure that the slide is placed on an even surface and away from any other structures within the room. It's also recommended that you keep your children safe while playing on the slide, as it could be dangerous if they fall off.
Storage

Drawers that are built into the stairs combine safety and innovation, allowing children to safely access their top bunk, while keeping their clothes, toys and other items well-organized. These drawers can be used as an attractive accent in the children's bedroom to enhance its aesthetic appeal. Some bunk beds with storage for stairs can also be customized so that you can customize the amount of space to the needs of your family.
functional bunk beds of loft beds and bunk beds have curtains to give children the feeling that they have their own space even if they are sharing the same space. If your kids are avid readers and enjoy reading in peace, this feature can be a big bonus. You can buy bunks and loft sets that feature curtains or use curtain rods and simple drapes to make the look yourself.
If your kids are screaming for bunk beds but you don't have the floor space to accommodate two raised beds, consider a corner loft or twin loft. This design combines two elevated beds in one corner of the room, while freeing up floor space for other furniture, like an office or a toy chest.
Bunk beds with desks transform sleeping areas into cozy study areas. They're ideal for kids who need a quiet place to complete their homework or play their favorite games. Certain models, like the Slam bunk bed by Maxtrix comes with a solid-wood desk and matching bookcase which means you can create a space for work in your child's room.
Other bunk and loft beds have a desk built at the bottom, which is ideal for kids younger than 10 who want a separate spot to write, create or read. This is an ideal way to promote independent learning and creativity in your children's rooms while helping them develop valuable organizational skills.
Style
The ideal bunk bed design for kids will depend on the size of your space and your child's sleeping habits. If you're working with a limited space, a twin-overtwin configuration will save the floor space, but still allow the children to share a bed in the loft. If you have taller ceilings, opt for a staggered bunk layout 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 down without hitting their heads.
For rooms with larger spaces the full-over-full arrangement is a great choice. It provides more storage space, with a deep drawer at the bottom, and allows older children to sleep on the top level without feeling secluded. These bunk beds usually come with an incline on the side or a staircase which provides hidden storage for toys and books, as well as a sturdy slatted railing for security.
If you're looking to keep your bunk beds simple, choose a solid color, such as gray or white. These finishes go well with nearly every kid's room, whether they have a coastal, cottage or colorful palette. If you're looking for something more eye-catching and appealing, a wood finish such as walnut or cherry is an excellent choice. It adds warmth to an old-fashioned or farmhouse-style room but also provides plenty of visual contrast using bright shades.
Kids love to decorate their rooms, and bunk beds offer an opportunity to express their imagination. Bunks with a slide can be the focal point of a functional, fun children's bedroom. The slide can offer hours of fun for your children as they slide down with their pals or send their favorite plush animal on rides.
