Create a Maxtrix Kids Storage Bed in Four Simple Steps

1 - Choose Your Base Bed. We have three loft bed heights - low, mid or high. Consider your child's age and his/her needs. The low loft is great for rooms with low ceilings or households with young children. The mid loft is probably our most popular storage bed as it provides a bit more space for case goods underneath. Finally, the high loft is great for tweens, teens, or college students who can really sleep high and maximize storage space underneath. So, pick your bed height, first.

We offer all of our beds in three finishes - natural, chestnut and white. Your choice! The bed frame also has three options - curved, panel or slat.white loft bed with storageThen, consider your entrance preference. We provide staircases, angled ladders and straight ladders for our loft beds. A tip: staircase loft beds give you even more storage as each step is a drawer (fully functioning). Here's a quick read at the pro's and con's of each.ladders or stairs for loft bed
Once you know the bed height, finish color, bed end style and entrance type, you pretty much have your base bed! Now, let's talk case goods!low loft with dresser storage3. Determine the Amount of Storage Needed. Do you have a school aged child? Whether he or she is in K-12 or college, you can create lots of study space with a desk. Think low lofts for elementary and middle and mid or high loft for high school and college!high queen loft with desk

Do you have an avid reader or a young one who enjoys story time? Try a bookcase with open shelves for all the books!corner loft bunk with bookcaseOur new library lofts offer pre-packaged setups with the ultimate amount of bookcases. Try low, mid or high heights!loft bed with boookcases

Need lots of room for play or dress-up clothes? Dresser drawers are available in many arrangements like 3-drawer (low loft), 4-drawer (mid loft) or 5-drawer (high loft) depending on the bed height. More storage space is provided by a full size bed as shown here, but we also offer twin size. The difference in size is about the width of the 3-shelf bookcase.

The Maxtrix® system is designed so all of our case-goods fit exactly underneath the beds - creating a great looking storage cube with lots of capacity. Just choose the type of storage your child needs, and don't be afraid to pick two! How about a dresser AND bookcase? :) Read our Desk & Storage Bed Fit Guide.low loft bed with deskTip: All of our storage units can be pulled out from underneath the bed, and you can add a crown and base to create free-standing units out of them!student desks

4. Consider Accessories. This is the fun part. Any storage bed can also become a play bed... just add a slide, top tent or under-bed curtains. We see this more often with our low loft configuration for younger children.

We have large flower boxes, bedside trays, magazine racks, beverage holders and our unique Maxpack available.bedside storage magazine rack

As your child gets older, you can easily change the configuration! That's the beauty of the Maxtrix System!maxtrix systemStill need assistance? It's a great thing we are just a chat or call away.
