Bunk Beds With Ladders and Slides
Bunk beds are a great way to maximize space, whether you're maximizing the floor area or even allowing for a whole family. Just keep an eye out for items like stairs that protrude out, 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 challenge for kids and adults too. While some might be tempted to just climb up, this can pose a fall risk and is a risk for children, people with joint issues or those who are older. Ladders can be a great solution to this issue and offer a safe and comfortable entry point for children.
There are a range of ladder options available for kids bunk beds that include straight and angled versions. Straight ladders attach directly to the bunk bed frame and angled ladders extend out slightly from either side. Angled ladders work well in smaller spaces and are suitable for all ages since they offer more room for feet to climb up. Ladders are available in a variety of different colors and styles, so you can select one that matches the color scheme of your bunk or compliments your room.
Another option is to select bunk beds with stairs that are located on the sides of the bunk. Stairs take up more space than ladders, yet they don't protrude out from the bed's side. They are therefore an ideal option for rooms with plenty of space for floor. Many kids bunk beds with stairs also come with cubbies that double as storage for the bed, perfect for storing books, toys and pajamas.
If you are on an extremely tight budget, a straight ladder is a more affordable option for a bunk bed. Although it's not as high-quality as a set of stairs, straight ladders are safe and sturdy enough for children of all different ages to use. The cost of a stairway is higher, however they are versatile and can be used by children of all ages.
The ladder can be moved to the end of the bunk bed. This offers a minimalist look that was designed with teens and tweens in mind. 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 an exciting aspect to time at bedtime. Bunk beds with slides are not just fun for kids to climb up and down and down, but they also offer parents peace of mind that their children are secure during the night. These beds are ideal for children who experience anxiety about sleeping at higher levels. They can also be a fun way to get into bed even for older kids.
When choosing a bunk with slide, think about the size of the room and the furniture it is situated in. 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. However, this bed also offers the added benefit of having a built-in ladder and slide to allow 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 short side of a bunk bed to reduce the room depth required for a bed with a slide. The depth can be reduced by 70cm depending on the height of the assembly. This allows you to put the slide bed for kids into rooms that would not normally be suitable for this type of bed.
You can also choose low loft beds with slides in addition to bunk beds with slides.

Style
The best bunk bed design for children will depend on the size of your space and your child's sleeping habits. If you have a small space, you might want to consider a twin-overtwin arrangement that helps save floor space while still offering both children the thrill of sleeping in a bed together high. If your ceilings are higher, you can opt for a staggered layout. It places the ladder at the end and leaves the top bunk bed open. This makes it easier for children to climb up and back down without crashing into their heads.
For rooms with larger spaces A full-over-full configuration is also a good option. It offers more storage through a deep drawer on the bottom and allows older children to sleep on the upper level without feeling as if they're being pushed out by their younger siblings. These bunk beds are usually equipped with a ladder or a staircase on the side, which provides storage space for toys and books, and a sturdy safety rail.
