Bunk Beds With Ladders and Slides
Bunk beds are an excellent way to make the most of space, regardless of whether you're trying to maximize the floor area or even allowing for a whole family. Be on the lookout for things like inclined staircases, slides and ladders that protrude.
It's a good idea to not to hang anything from the top bunk as it could pose a strangulation hazard.
Ladders
Getting into the top bunk of a bunk bed can be a daunting task for children and adults as well. While some might be enticed to climb up, this is risky for older children, or those with joint issues. Ladders can be a great option to reduce this risk and provide a secure easy, comfortable and easy to climb entry point for kids.
There are many ladder options available for bunk beds for kids including straight and angled versions. Straight ladders are connected directly to the frame of the bunk bed while an angled ladder is positioned slightly from the bed's side. Angled ladders work well in small spaces and are suitable for everyone, because they provide more space for the feet when climbing up. Ladders are available in a variety of different styles and colors and styles, so you can choose one that matches the color scheme of your bunk or complements your room.
Another great option is to select a bunk bed with stairs at the end of the bunk. Stairs take up more space than ladders, however they do not protrude from the side of the bed. They're therefore an ideal choice for rooms that have plenty of space on the floor. Many bunk beds for kids that have stairs also feature convenient cubbies that double as storage for the bed, perfect for storing books, toys and pajamas.
If you're on a budget, a straight staircase is an option that is less expensive for bunk beds.

Stairs however are a little more expensive but they are also extremely versatile and can be used by kids of all stages of development as they get older.

Slides
Bunk beds with slides add a fun element to the bedtime routine. Not only do children love climbing up the ladder and down the slide as well, but bunk beds that have slides give parents peace of mind knowing that their children are safe in bed at night. These beds are perfect for children who have difficulty sleeping at higher levels. They can also be a great way for older children to get into bed.
When choosing a bunk with slide, think about the size of the room and the furniture it is situated in.

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

Style

If your ceilings are higher, you can opt for a staggered design. It places the ladder at the other side and lets the top bed open, making it easier for children to climb up and down without hitting their heads.
A full-over-full configuration is another option for rooms with more space. It gives more storage space in the form of an extensive 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 typically come with a ladder on the side or a staircase that offers out-of-sight storage for books and toys, as well as a strong railing that is slatted to ensure security.

These finishes will blend into any child's room, whether it has a cottage or coastal theme, or a colorful palette. If you're looking for something more appealing, then a wood finish like walnut or cherry would be an excellent choice. It adds warmth and contrast to an edgy or rustic room.
