What's Holding Back The Kids Bunk Bed Industry?
Bunk Beds With Ladders and Slides
Bunk beds are a great way to maximize space, whether you're maximizing your floor space, or able to accommodate a large family. Keep an eye out for items like stairs that jut out from the ground, angled ladders and slides.
It's also recommended to remove hanging objects from the top bunk, because they could pose a strangulation risk.
Ladders
It can be a challenge for adults and children to get into the top bunk. While some may be tempted to climb up, this can be risky for older youngsters or those who have joint problems. Ladders are a great solution to eliminate this issue and offer a safe, comfortable and easy-to-climb entry point for children.
There are several ladder options for kids bunk beds, including straight and angled ladders. Straight ladders connect directly to the bunk bed frame, while angled ladders stick out slightly from either side. Angled ladders work well in small spaces and are suitable for everyone, as they give more space for feet when climbing up. Ladders also come in various colors and styles so you can choose one that complements the look of your room or complements the color scheme of your bunk.
Another alternative is to choose bunk beds with stairs at the end of the bunk. Stairs are more space-consuming than ladders, but they don't protrude out from the side of the bed. They are an ideal option for rooms with plenty of space on the floor. A lot of bunk beds for kids include storage cubbies. They are ideal for toys, books, and pajamas.
If you're on a tight budget straight staircases are a cheaper option for bunk beds. Although it might not be as durable as a set of stairs, a straight ladder is still secure and durable enough for children of all age groups to use. Stairs however are a little more expensive, but they are also extremely versatile and can be used by kids of all age groups as they grow older.

Certain beds, such as the Casey Chestnut Kids Bunk Bed with Ladder and Slide are perpendicular, and require more space than other types of. However, this bed also offers the added benefit of a built-in ladder and slide to allow easy access to the top bunk.
Another option for adding a slide to a bunk bed is the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower. The Tower can be positioned on the short side of the bunk bed to reduce the depth of the room required for a bed with a slide. It can be reduced by 70 cm depending on the height of the assembly. This lets you put a kids bed that has slides in rooms that would normally be suitable.

Style

This makes it easier for children to climb up and back down without hitting their heads.

It allows for more storage space, with a deep drawer on the bottom and older children to sleep on the upper level without feeling left out. These bunk beds typically come with a ladder at the side or a staircase that offers an out-of-sight area for books and toys, and a sturdy railing that is slatted to ensure security.

These finishes go well with the majority of kids' rooms regardless of whether they're coastal, cottage or vibrant palette. If you're looking for something that's more eye-catching then a wood finish like walnut or cherry would be an ideal choice. It brings warmth and contrast to the rustic or farm-inspired space.
