Bunk Beds With Ladders and Slides
Bunk beds are a great way to maximize space, whether you're maximizing your floor area, or able to accommodate a large family. Keep an eye out for elements like the angled staircases, slides and ladders that are protruding.
It's also an excellent idea to eliminate hanging items from the top bunk as they can pose a strangulation risk.
Ladders
To get into the top bunk of a bunk bed could be a challenge for kids and adults alike. While some might be tempted to climb up, this could create a fall risk and is a risk for children, people suffering from joint problems or are older. Ladders can be a great solution to this issue and provide a safe and comfortable entry point for children.
There are several ladder options for kids bunk beds including straight and angle ladders. Straight ladders connect directly to the frame of the bunk bed, while an angled ladder is positioned slightly from the bed's side. Angled ladders work well in small spaces and are suitable for all ages because they provide more space for feet to climb up. Ladders are available in a variety of different styles and colors and styles, so you can choose one that complements the color scheme of your bunk or complements your room.
Another option is to opt for a bunk bed with stairs on the side of the bunk. Stairs require more floor space than a ladder but do not protrude from the side of the bunk therefore they are a great option for rooms with plenty of floor space. Many bunk beds for kids include storage cubbies. They are great for toys, books, and even pajamas.
If you're looking to save money straight staircases are a cheaper option for bunk beds. A straight ladder may not be of the same quality as a staircase, but it's still sturdy and safe for children of all ages. Stairs however are a little more expensive, but they are extremely adaptable and can be used by children of all ages as they grow up.
A fresh design option is to move the ladder towards the end of the bunk bed. This minimalist design is aimed at teens, tweens and young adults. This style is available in all Maxtrix bunk sizes and heights including twin over twin and full over full.
Slides
Bunk beds with slides add a fun dimension to the bedtime routine. Bunk beds with slides are not just fun for children to climb up and down but also provide parents the peace of mind knowing that their children are safe at night. These beds are great for kids who have anxiety about sleeping on higher levels and can be a an enjoyable method of getting into bed even for older kids.
When selecting affordable bunk beds for kids with a slide, think about the size of the room and 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 designs. This bed has a built-in slide and ladder to allow easy access to 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 a bunk bed to reduce the space depth needed for a bed with a slide. It can be reduced by 70 centimeters according to the height of the bed. This lets you put a kids bed that has a slide in rooms that wouldn't normally be suitable.
You can also choose low loft beds that have slides, in addition to bunks with a slide. These beds are perfect for bedrooms with smaller spaces because they provide more space on the floor to play and storage and they can also be used to make the twin over full bunk bed with a trundle, making it possible to accommodate two children for sleepovers or guests.

They can be used as an attractive feature in the bedroom of children to increase the aesthetic appeal. Some bunk beds that have storage for stairs also include customizable options so you can customize the amount of space to the needs of your family.
Some loft beds and bunk beds have curtains to help children feel like they are in their own space, even if they're sharing the same space. This feature is great for children who like to read or simply dream in peace. You can purchase bunk and loft sets that feature curtains or curtain rods, or simple drapes to make the look yourself.
If you're struggling to find space for floor space and your kids want bunk beds but you're not able to accommodate two raised beds, consider a corner loft. This style places two raised beds in a corner of the room. It frees up the floor space to accommodate other furniture, such as a desk or a toy chest or a desk.
Bunk beds that have desks transform sleeping areas into cozy study nooks. These bunk beds are great for kids who require an area to work in peace, study or play games. Some models, like the Slam bunk bed from Maxtrix, offer a solid wooden desk that comes with a matching bookcase to make it easy to carve out a dedicated workspace in your kid's room.
Other bunk beds and lofts come with a desk at the bottom. This is great for children in the early years who need their own space to write, read or do crafts. This can be an excellent way to encourage the development of creativity and independent learning in your children's rooms as well as helping them develop valuable organizational skills.
Style
The dimensions of your bedroom and the sleeping habits of your child will determine the best style of bunk bed for your children. If you're living in a cramped space, you might want to consider a twin-overtwin configuration that conserves the floor space, while giving both children the thrill of sleeping in a bed together high. If you have taller ceilings, consider a staggered bunk design like the one shown. It places the ladder at the end and leaves the top bed open making it easier for children to climb up and down without hitting their heads.
For larger rooms, a full-over-full arrangement is also a good option. It offers more storage through an extensive drawer at the bottom and it 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 a ladder at the side or a staircase that offers out-of-sight storage for toys and books as well as a strong railing that is slatted to ensure security.
If you want to keep the design of your bunks clean, opt for a plain solid color such as gray or white. 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 eye-catching wood finishes like walnut or cherry is a good choice. It can add warmth to an old-fashioned or farmhouse-style room and still provides plenty of visual contrast using bright colors.
Kids love to decorate their bedrooms, so bunks offer an opportunity to express their creativity. 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 can be detached. Your kids will have a blast playing on the slide with their buddies and taking their favorite animals on rides.
For a striking look you can consider a bunk bed that has a colored staircase like this one by Furniture Row. The stairway railings come in red, blue, green or charcoal and comes with three bunk beds that are color-matched. The staircase is equipped with shelves built into it for books and other items. This ensures that both beds are clean and clutter-free.
