How To Save Money On Kids Bunk Bed
Bunk Beds With Ladders and Slides
If you're putting together siblings' rooms or maximizing your floor space or accommodating a whole family bunk beds can make fantastic use of tiny space. Keep an eye out for things like the angled staircases, slides and ladders that are protruding.
It's also recommended to remove hanging items from the top bunk as they can pose the risk of strangulation.
Ladders
It can be a challenge for adults and children to climb up into the top bunk. While some might be tempted to climb up, this can create a fall risk and is a risk for children, people with joint problems or are older. Ladders can be a great solution to this issue and offer an appropriate and safe entry point for children.
There are a variety of ladder options for kids' bunk beds including straight and angled ladders. Straight ladders attach directly to the frame of the bunk bed while an angled ladder extends slightly from the bed's side. Angled ladders are a great choice for smaller spaces and are easy to use for all ages as they allow more space when climbing up the bunk. Ladders also come in various colors and styles so you can choose one that complements the look of your room or complements the color scheme of your bunk.
A bunk bed with stairs built into the side is a excellent option. Stairs require more floor space than a ladder, but they do not extend from the side of the bunk therefore they are a great choice for rooms with ample floor space. Many kids bunk beds come with cubbies for storage. They are ideal for books, toys and pajamas.
If you're on a tight budget straight ladders are a more affordable option for a bunk bed. Straight ladders might not be of the same quality as a staircase, but it's still durable and safe for children of all ages. The cost of a stairway is higher, however, they are versatile and can be used by children of all ages.
A new design choice is to move the ladder towards the end 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 that have slides add a fun element to time at bedtime. Kids enjoy climbing up the ladder and down the slide and down the slide, but bunk beds with slides provide parents with peace of mind that their children are safe in bed at night. These beds are ideal for children who have difficulty sleeping on higher levels. They can also be a great way for older kids to get into bed.
When selecting a bunk bed with a slide, think about the dimensions of the room as well as any furniture that is in it. Some beds, such as the Casey Chestnut Kids Bunk Bed with Slide and Ladder, are perpendicular and require more space than other types of bunk beds. The bed is equipped with a slide and ladder for easy access to top bunk.
Another option to add slides to a bunk bed is the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower. The Tower is affixed to the short side of the bed, which can reduce the room depth for a bunk bed that has a slide by about 70 cm (depending on assembly height). This lets you put an infant bed with slide in rooms that would normally be suitable.
In addition to bunk beds with slides You can also pick low loft beds that have slides. These beds are perfect for smaller rooms as they allow more space on the floor for play and storage, and can be used to create the twin over full bunk bed with trundle - making it possible to accommodate two more children for sleepovers or guests. Like all of our kids' bunk and loft beds, the adorable bunk bed and slide that you buy can be converted into any Maxtrix configuration over time as your children grow and change.
When it comes to safety, it's important to follow general guidelines for bunk beds with slides and all types of loft beds for kids. Make sure that the slide is mounted on a level surface and away from any other structures in the room. It is also important to supervise your children when they are using the slide. Falling off can be dangerous.
Stores
Many lofts and bunk beds are equipped with drawers that provide a convenient solution to store bedding, clothing, and toys. The right bunk bed can aid in maximizing the space you have in a smaller area or make it easier to organize your child's bedroom.
Drawers built inside the stairs offer security and innovation that allows children to safely access their top bunk while keeping their clothes, toys and other items neatly. They can also serve as an attractive, fun accent for your kids' bedroom and add to its aesthetic appeal. Some bunk beds with storage for stairs also include customizable options so you can customize the space to your family's needs.
Some loft bed and bunk beds come with curtains that help kids feel like 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 make the look yourself.
If you're struggling to find area for flooring and your children want bunk beds, but you can't accommodate two raised beds, consider a corner loft. This design combines two elevated beds in one corner of the room, opening the floor space for other furniture, like desks or a toy chest.
Bunk beds with a desk transform sleeping spaces into cozy study areas. These beds are ideal for kids who require a quiet area to do their homework or play games. Some models, such as the Slam bunk bed from Maxtrix, come with an solid-wood desk and a matching bookcase, so you can easily create a work area in your child's room.
Lofts and bunk beds also come with a desk at the bottom. This is ideal for younger children who want their own space to write, read, or do crafts. This is a fantastic way to help your child grow their imagination and learn independently in their rooms.
Style
The dimensions of your bedroom and your child's sleep habits will determine the ideal kind of bunk bed for your kids. If you're working with a limited space the twin-overtwin design will save floor space and still allow both children to sleep together in the loft. If you have higher ceilings, opt for a staggered bunk layout like the one shown. It keeps the ladder at the other side and lets the top bed open making it easier for kids to climb up and down without bumping their heads.
A full-over-full arrangement is another excellent option for rooms that are larger. It offers more storage through a deep drawer at the bottom, and allows older children to sleep on the higher level without feeling they're being ignored by their younger siblings. These bunk beds are usually equipped with a ladder or staircase on the side, which provides hidden storage for books and toys, and a solid safety rail.
If you want to keep the look of your bunks clean, opt for a plain solid color like white or gray. These finishes can be incorporated into any child's room whether it's a coastal or cottage theme or a vibrant palette. If you're looking for something that's more eye-catching then a wood finish such as walnut or cherry would be an excellent choice. It provides warmth to an old-fashioned or farmhouse-style room but also provides plenty of visual contrast using bright shades.
Kids love decorating their bedrooms, so bunks offer an opportunity to express their creative side. Bunks that have been painted or stained can be the focal point of a fun and practical kids' bedroom particularly if they are equipped with a detachable slide. Your kids will have hours of fun playing on the slide with their friends and bringing their favorite animal toys on rides.
You could consider a bunk bed similar to this one, from Furniture Row, with a colored stairway. The stairway railings come in red, blue and green, and it includes a set of three bunk beds with matching colors. The staircase is equipped with shelves built into it to store books and other things. This makes sure that the beds are kept tidy and clutter-free.
