3 Reasons Your Kids Bunk Bed Is Broken (And How To Fix It)
Bunk Beds With Ladders and Slides Bunk beds are an excellent way to make the most of space, regardless of whether you're trying to maximize your floor space, or accommodating an entire family. Be on the lookout for elements such as the angled stairs, slides, and ladders that extend. It's also a good idea to ban hanging objects from the top bunk, since they can be the risk of strangulation. Ladders It can be a challenge for adults and kids to climb up into the top bunk. While some might be tempted to climb up, this can pose a fall risk and is a risk for children, people suffering from joint issues or those who are older. Ladders are a great way to reduce this risk and provide a secure easy, comfortable and easy to climb entry point for kids. There are many ladder options for kids bunk beds, including straight and angled ladders. Straight ladders attach directly to the frame of the bunk bed whereas an angled ladder is positioned slightly from the bed's side. Angled ladders are a great option for small spaces and are easy to use for everyone as they provide more foot space to climb up the bunk. Ladders are also available in various styles and colors so you can pick one that matches the style of your space or matches your bunk's color scheme. A bunk bed with stairs built into the side is another fantastic option. Stairs take up more floor space than a ladder, but do not protrude from the side of the bunk therefore they are a great choice for rooms with ample floor space. A lot of bunk beds for kids include storage cubbies. They are great for books, toys, and pajamas. If you're on a budget, a straight staircase is a cheaper option for bunk beds. Straight ladders might not be as good as a staircase, but it's still durable and safe for children of all ages. Stairs, on the other hand are a little more expensive but they are also extremely flexible and will fit kids of all ages as they grow up. A new design option is to move the ladder to the bottom of the 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 a fun element to time at bedtime. Not only do children enjoy climbing up the ladder and down the slide as well, but bunk beds that have slides give parents peace of mind that their children are safe at night. These beds are ideal 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 a bunk bed with a slide, consider the dimensions of the room as well as the furniture it is situated in. Certain beds, like the Casey Chestnut Kids Bunk Bed with Slide and Ladder are perpendicular and require a little more space than other types of bunk beds. But, this bed comes with the added benefit of a built-in ladder and slide that allows for easy access to the top bunk. The Billi-Bolli Slide Tower is another option for adding slides to a bunk bed. The Tower is affixed to the shorter side of the bed which can reduce the required room depth for a bunk bed with slide by around 70 centimeters (depending on the height of assembly). This allows you to instal a kids bed with slide in rooms that would normally not be suitable for this type of bed. In addition to bunk beds with a slide, you can also choose low loft beds that have slides. These beds are perfect for bedrooms with smaller spaces as they allow more floor space to play and storage and they can also be used to create a twin over full bunk bed with trundle – which allows you to accommodate two additional children for sleepovers or guests. Like all of our kids' bunk and loft beds, this adorable bunk bed and slide you buy can be converted into any Maxtrix configuration over time as your children change and grow. It's important that you follow safety guidelines for loft beds and bunk beds. Make sure that you place the slide on a level surface, away from other structures in the bedroom. It is also essential to supervise your children when they are using the slide. Falls off could be dangerous. Storage Many bunk beds and lofts have drawers built in that provide a convenient solution to store bedding as well as clothing and toys. If you're looking to make the most of space in a tiny space or to provide more organization for an already overcrowded kids bedroom, the right bunk bed with storage could assist. Drawers integrated in the stairs bring together the latest technology and safety, allowing kids to have access to their top bunk and keep their clothes as well as toys and other items in order. They can also be used as a decorative feature in the children's bedroom to enhance its aesthetic appeal. Some bunk beds with stair storage also include customizable options so you can adjust the space to your family's needs. 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 sharing a room. If your children love to read and dream in the quiet, this feature could be a huge benefit. You can purchase bunk and loft sets that feature curtains or use curtain rods and simple drapes to create the appearance yourself. If your children are asking for bunk beds but you do not have the 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, 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. These bunk beds are perfect for kids who require an area to work in peace, work on their assignments or play games. Certain models, like the Slam bunk bed from Maxtrix, offer solid wood desks with a bookcase to match which allows you to easily make a workspace in your kids' room. Some loft beds and bunk beds have a desk built on the bottom, ideal for younger kids who want a separate spot to write, create or read. This can be an ideal way to promote the development of creativity and independent learning in your children's rooms while helping them develop important organizational skills. Style The dimensions of your bedroom and the sleeping habits of your child will determine the most suitable kind of bunk bed for your children. If you're working with small space the twin-overtwin design will save the floor space while allowing both children to sleep together in the loft. If your ceilings are higher than average, you can choose a staggered design. It keeps the ladder at the end and leaves the top bunk bed open. This allows children to climb up and down without crashing into their heads. For larger rooms, a full-over-full arrangement is a great choice. It gives more storage space by way of an extensive drawer at the bottom, and allows older children to sleep on the higher level without feeling like they're being left out by their younger siblings. These bunk beds are usually equipped with a staircase or ladder on the side, which provides storage space for toys and books, as well as a solid safety rail. If you want to keep your bunk beds simple, choose a solid color such as gray or white. These finishes will fit into any child's room, whether it has a cottage or coastal theme or a vibrant palette. If you're looking for something that's more eye-catching and appealing, a wood finish such as cherry or walnut is also a good choice. It provides warmth and a sense of contrast to the rustic or farm-inspired space. Kids love decorating their rooms, and bunk beds offer an opportunity to express their creative side. Bunks with a slide can be the center of a functional, fun kids' bedroom. Your children will have hours of fun sliding down the slide with their pals and taking their favorite plush animals on rides. For a bold look you can consider a bunk bed with a colored staircase like this one from Furniture Row. The railings on the stairway are available in green, red blue, charcoal or. It also comes with three bunk beds that match the color of the railings. The staircase also has built-in shelves for storing books and other items, ensuring that both beds are neat and clean.
