We’re not just about cutesy Bed Tents around here — even though we have several options! With our best selling Maxtrix® Bedroom Furniture, you can provide your child with a healthy environment in which to sleep, play, and develop healthy habits that he or she will never outgrow.

Sleep Space

Many kid-friendly, space-saving beds compromise quality and safety in order to appease customer requests. At The Bedroom Source, we know children’s furnishings can still be safe and well made. Our Maxtrix bedroom furniture uses only natural wood and secure, Rock-Lock™ Connectors to create Bunk Beds or Loft Beds from our high-quality Basic Beds.

Each of our Maxtrix beds includes a Slat Roll, providing optimal support without trapping moisture like Bunky Boards do. By allowing the mattress to breathe, we allow moisture to escape and increase the longevity of your mattress, as well as helping prevent your child’s sleep environment to become unhealthy. Unlike many children’s beds, our slat rolls are comprised of 14 solid wood slats that have been tested to hold up to 800 pounds. Safety expands to include higher-than-average Safety Rails and other features, as well.

Active Play

From the First Lady to health care professionals, we’re constantly hearing about the epidemic of childhood obesity, as well as other dangers of a sedentary lifestyle. By lifting beds into Loft Beds or stacking multiple beds into any of our many Bunk Bed configurations (combining up to 6 into a single unit), the Maxtrix System helps you provide more floor space.

By adding a Top Tent, Tower, and Slide or Under-Bed Curtain, you can enhance the invitation for active, imaginative play. Regardless of how your child uses the extra floor space, more space provides the potential for increased movement and creative thinking.

While those activities benefit all children, they’re especially significant for those struggling with a variety of learning differences as well as personality and mood challenges: “The increased dopamine produced through exercise can help improve attention and focus in people with ADHD, but that’s not all: ‘Exercise also produces endorphins, the ‘feel good’ chemical in the brain.’” As “nature’s antidepressant,” exercise “also helps children and adults get rid of restless energy, which is a symptom of ADHD.”

When you offer space for movement and exercise, you provide for an additional tool in helping your child grow up to be healthy and strong — both physically and emotionally.

Healthy Habits

From organizing clothes and toys to doing homework, the Maxtrix System provides a structure conducive to an organized storage system. Uncluttered space is proven to help people get their thoughts organized and fight anxiety, and children are no different.

In addition to Feng shui proponents, many studies tout the educational benefits of a specific space designated for school work; in fact, some believe that having a specific space at home designated for study contributes to Japanese students’ ranking above most U.S. students.
