This Is The Advanced Guide To Kids Bunk Bed
Bunk Beds With Ladders and Slides
Bunk beds are an excellent way to maximize space, whether you're looking to maximize your floor space, or able to accommodate a large family. Be on the lookout for things like the angled staircases, slides and ladders that are protruding.
It's not a good idea to hang anything from the top bunk as it could pose strangulation risk.
Ladders
The top bunk of a bunk bed could be a daunting task for children and adults alike. While some may be tempted to climb up, this can be risky for older children, or those with joint problems. Ladders are a great solution to this issue and provide an appropriate and safe entry point for children.
There are a variety of ladder options available for kids bunk beds that include straight and angled ladders. Straight ladders attach directly to the frame of the bunk bed, while an angled ladder extends slightly from the side of the bed. Angled ladders are a good option for small spaces and are suitable for everyone as they provide more foot space to climb up the bunk. Ladders are available in many different styles and colors, so you can select one that matches the color scheme of your bunk or compliments your room.
Another great option is to opt for bunk beds with stairs at the end of the bunk. Stairs take up more floor space than a ladder, but do not protrude from the bunk's side therefore they are a great choice for rooms with ample floor space. Many bunk beds for kids that have stairs also come with cubbies that double as bed storage, perfect for storing books, toys and pajamas.
If you're looking to save money, a straight staircase is a cheaper option for bunk beds. Straight ladders might not be of the same quality as a stairset, however it's still sturdy and safe for children of all different ages. Stairs are more expensive, however, they are versatile and can be used by children of any age.
The ladder can be moved to the side of the bunk bed. This minimalist design is targeted at tweens, teens and young adults. This style is available with all Maxtrix bunk sizes and heights including twin over twin, full over full and queen over queen.
Slides
Bunk beds with slides add a thrilling dimension to bedtime.

These beds are great for kids who have anxiety about sleeping at higher levels and can be a an enjoyable method of getting into bed, even for older kids.
When selecting a bunk bed with a slide, consider the size of the room and any furniture that is in it. Certain beds, such as the Casey Chestnut Kids' Bunk Bed with Ladder and Slide are perpendicular and require a little more space than other styles. However, this bed offers the added benefit of a built-in ladder and slide for easy access to the top bunk.
Another option to add an additional slide to a bunk bed is the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower. The Tower is affixed to the short side of the bed, which can reduce the space depth for a bunk bed with a slide by about 70 cm (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 kind of bed.
In addition to bunk beds with slides You can also pick low loft beds that have slides. These beds are perfect for bedrooms with small spaces, since they provide more space for storage and play.
