Bunk Beds With Ladders and Slides

If you're putting together siblings' rooms, maxing out your floor space, or accommodating a full brood bunk beds can make fantastic use of tiny spaces. Just keep an eye out for elements like stairs that jut out from the ground, angled ladders and slides.

It's also recommended to remove hanging objects from the top bunk, because they could pose a strangulation risk.

Ladders

The top bunk of a bunk bed could be a daunting task for children and adults too. While some may be enticed to climb up, this can be risky for older children or those with joint problems. Ladders are a great way to eliminate this issue and provide a secure easy, comfortable and easy to climb entry point for kids.

There are a variety of ladder options for kids bunk beds, including straight and angled ones. Straight ladders connect directly to the frame of the bunk bed whereas an angled ladder is positioned slightly from the side of the bed. Angled ladders are a great choice for smaller spaces and are a breeze to use for all ages as they offer more space for feet when climbing up the bunk. They also come in a variety of colors and styles so you can pick one that matches the style of your room or complements the color scheme of your bunk.

Another alternative is to choose bunk beds with stairs that are located on the sides of the bunk. Stairs take up more space than ladders, yet they don't extend out of the side of the bed. They are an ideal choice for rooms that have plenty of space on the floor. A lot of bunk beds for kids come with cubbies for storage. They are ideal for books, toys and pajamas.

If you're on a tight budget, a straight ladder is a more affordable option for a bunk bed. Although it's not as high-quality as a stair set a straight ladder is still secure and durable enough for children of all age groups to use. The cost of a stairway is higher, however they are versatile and can be used by children of any age.

A new design choice is moving the ladder to the top of the bunk bed. This minimalist design is targeted at tweens, teens 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 element to bedtime. Not only do kids enjoy climbing up the ladder and sliding down the slide as well, but bunk beds that have slides give parents peace of mind knowing that their children are safe at night. These beds are great for children who experience anxiety about sleeping at higher levels. They can also be an enjoyable way to get into bed even for older kids.

When you are choosing a bunk that has a slide, consider the dimensions of the room as well as any furniture in it. Certain beds, such as the Casey Chestnut Kids' Bunk Bed with Ladder and Slide, are perpendicular and need more space than other styles. This bed comes with a built-in slide and ladder for easy access to the top bunk.

Another option for adding a slide to bunk beds is the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower. The Tower can be mounted on the shorter side of the bunk bed to decrease the space depth needed for a bed with slide. The depth can be reduced by 70cm according to the height of the bed. This permits you to install a kids bed that has a slide in rooms that would not normally be suitable.

In addition to bunk beds with a slide, you can also choose low loft beds with slides. These beds are perfect for bedrooms with smaller spaces as they allow more space on the floor for play and storage, and can be used to create a twin over full bunk bed that has a trundle which allows you to accommodate two additional children for sleepovers or guests.

This design places two elevated beds in the 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 spaces into cozy study areas. They're perfect for kids who need a quiet space to complete their homework or play their favorite games.

Style

If you have taller ceilings, opt for a staggered bunk design such as the one shown. It keeps the ladder at the end and lets the top bed open making it easier for kids to climb up and down without smacking their heads.

It offers more storage space, with a deep drawer on the bottom and older children to sleep on the top level without feeling like they're left out. These bunk beds typically come with a ladder on the side or a staircase that provides out-of-sight storage for toys and books, and a sturdy railing that is slatted to ensure safety.

If you're looking to keep the appearance of your bunks clean pick a plain solid color like white or gray. These finishes can be incorporated into any child's bedroom whether it's coastal or cottage themes or a vibrant palette. If you want something more striking, a wood finish like cherry or walnut would be an excellent choice. It can add warmth to rooms that are rustic or inspired by farmhouse but also provides plenty of visual contrast with bright shades.
