Bunk Beds With Ladders and Slides

If you're putting together rooms for siblings or maximizing your floor space, or accommodating a large family bunk beds can be a fantastic use of tiny space. Be on the lookout for things like angled staircases, slides and ladders that are protruding.

It's also a good idea to ban hanging items from the top bunk, because they could pose a strangulation risk.

Ladders

It can be difficult for both kids and adults to get into the top bunk. While some may be enticed to just climb up, this could pose a fall risk and can be dangerous for children, people with joint problems or are older. Ladders are a great solution to reduce this risk and provide a safe, comfortable and easy-to-climb entry point for children.

There are several ladder options for kids bunk beds, including straight and inclined ladders. Straight ladders connect directly to the frame of the bunk bed, while an angled ladder sticks out slightly from the side of the bed. Angled ladders are ideal for smaller spaces and are suitable for all ages since they offer more room for the feet when climbing up. They also come in various styles and colors so you can choose one that matches the style of your room or matches the color scheme of your bunk.

A bunk bed with stairs built into the side is another excellent option. Stairs are more space-consuming than ladders, yet they don't protrude out of the bed's side. They're therefore an ideal option for rooms with plenty of space for floor. A lot of  bunk beds for kids  with stairs also come with cubbies that double as storage for the bed, perfect for storing toys, books and pajamas.
