Bunk Beds With Ladders and Slides

Ladders

It can be a challenge for adults and kids to climb up into the top bunk. While some might be enticed to climb up, this can be dangerous for older people, youngsters or those who have joint issues. Ladders are a great way to eliminate this issue and provide a safe comfortable and comfortable entry point for children.

There are many ladder options for kids bunk beds that include straight and angled ladders. Straight ladders are connected directly to the frame of the bunk bed whereas an angled ladder is positioned slightly from the side of the bed. Angled ladders are an excellent choice for smaller spaces and are a breeze to use for everyone as they offer more space for feet when climbing up the bunk. They also come in different colors and styles so you can choose one that is in keeping with the design of your space or matches the color scheme of your bunk.

A bunk bed with stairs built into the side is another great option. Stairs take up more space than a ladder, but they do not extend from the side of the bunk so they are a good option for rooms that have plenty of floor space. Many kids bunk beds with stairs also feature convenient cubbies that double as bed storage, ideal to store books, toys and pajamas.

Slides

Certain beds, such as the Casey Chestnut Kids Bunk Bed with Ladder and Slide are perpendicular and require a little more space than other types of. This bed comes with a built-in slide and ladder to allow easy access to the top bunk.

The Billi-Bolli Slide Tower is another option for adding slides to a bunkbed. The Tower can be mounted on the shorter side of the bed, which can reduce the room depth for a bunk bed that has a slide by around 70 centimeters (depending on assembly height). This allows you to install the slide bed for kids in rooms that would normally not be suitable for this type of bed.

You can also choose low loft beds that come with slides in addition to bunks with a slide. These beds are ideal for small bedrooms, as they are more spacious for storage and play. They can also be transformed into a twin-over-full bunk bed with trundle to accommodate two children for sleepovers.

It is also recommended to be sure to supervise your children when playing on the slide, as it can be dangerous when they fall off.

Storage

These drawers can be used as a decorative feature in the bedroom of children to improve the look of the room. Some bunk beds that have stair storage are also customizable which means you can adjust the space according to your family's requirements.

Certain models of loft beds and bunk beds have curtains that give children the feeling that they're in their own private space, even if they're sharing the same room. This feature is great for children who like to read or dream in peace. You can buy bunks and loft sets that feature curtains or use curtain rods and simple drapes to make the look yourself.

If your kids are begging to sleep in bunk beds but you don't have the floor space to accommodate two raised beds, you can 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 a desk or a toy chest.

Bunk beds with desks turn sleeping spaces into cozy study spaces. They're perfect for kids who need a quiet place to complete their homework or play their favourite games. Some models, such as the Slam bunk bed from Maxtrix comes with solid wood desks with a bookcase that matches so you can easily make a workspace in your kid's room.

Other bunk beds and lofts include a desk at the bottom. This is perfect for children in the early years who need their own space to write, read, or make crafts. This is a great opportunity to help your child grow their imagination and develop their own skills in their bedrooms.

Style

The dimensions of your bedroom and the sleeping habits of your child will determine the best design of bunk beds for your children. If you're living in a cramped space, you might want to consider a twin-overtwin arrangement that helps save the floor space, while giving both children the pleasure of sleeping together in a high position. If you have higher ceilings, opt for a staggered bunk design like the one shown. It places the ladder at the bottom, and leaves the top bunk bed open. This allows children to climb up and back down without hitting their heads.

For larger rooms the full-over-full arrangement is a great option. It allows for more storage space with a large drawer on the bottom and older children to sleep on the top level without feeling secluded. These kinds of bunk beds usually come with an incline on the side or a staircase that provides hidden storage for toys and books, and a sturdy slatted railing for safety.

If you want to keep the design of your bunks basic pick a plain solid color like white or gray. These finishes go well with nearly every kid's room regardless of whether they're a cottage, coastal or colorful palette. If you're looking to make your room more eye-catching and appealing, a wood finish such as cherry or walnut is also an excellent choice. It can add warmth to a rustic or farmhouse-inspired room and still provides plenty of visual contrast through bright shades.

Bunks are a great opportunity for kids to show their creative side. Bunks that are painted or stained can be the centerpiece of a fun and functional kids bedroom especially if they come with a slide that can be detached. Your children will have a blast gliding down the slide with their pals and bringing their favorite animals on rides.

Consider a bunk bed like this one, from Furniture Row, with a colored stairwell. The railings for the stairway are available in blue, red, green or charcoal, and it includes a set of three bunk bed color-matched mattresses. The staircase also has built-in shelves for storing books and other objects and ensuring that both beds remain tidy and uncluttered.
