Responsible For The Kids Bunk Bed Budget 12 Best Ways To Spend Your Money
Bunk Beds With Ladders and Slides
Bunk beds are a great way to make the most of space, whether you're maximizing your floor area, or even allowing for a whole family. Just keep an eye out for things like stairs that jut out or angled ladders, slides and angled ones.
It's also recommended to remove hanging objects from the top bunk, since they can be the risk of strangulation.
Ladders
It can be difficult for both adults and children to get into the top bunk. While some may be enticed to simply climb up, this can be a risk of falling and can be dangerous for children, people suffering from joint issues or those who are older. Ladders are a great way to avoid this risk and provide a safe easy, comfortable and easy to climb entry point for kids.
There are a range of ladder options for kids bunk beds that include straight and angled versions. Straight ladders connect directly to the frame of the bunk bed, while angled ladders stick out a little from either side. Angled ladders are an excellent choice for smaller spaces and are suitable for anyone of all ages since they provide more foot space when climbing up the bunk. Ladders are also available in different styles and colors so you can choose one that matches the style of your room or complements your bunk's color scheme.
Another alternative is to choose bunk beds that have stairs at the end of the bunk. Stairs take up more space than a ladder, but don't protrude from the bunk's side therefore they are a great option for rooms that have plenty of floor space. Many bunk beds for kids that have stairs also feature convenient cubbies that double as bed storage, ideal for storing toys, books and pajamas.

If you're on a tight budget straight staircases are an option that is less expensive for bunk beds. Although it might not be as high-quality as a stair set, a straight ladder is still secure and durable enough for children of all different ages to use. Stairs are more expensive, however, they are versatile and can be used by kids of all ages.
The ladder can be moved to the end of the bunk bed. This gives a sleek look created 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 addition to time at bedtime. Not only do children love climbing up the ladder and going down the slide, but bunk beds with slides provide parents with peace of mind knowing that their children are safe at night. These beds are ideal for children who experience anxiety about sleeping at higher levels and can be a an enjoyable method of getting into bed even for older children.
When choosing a bunk bed that has slide, think about the size of your child's bedroom and any other furniture that is there. Some beds, like the Casey Chestnut Kids' Bunk Bed with Ladder and Slide, are perpendicular and need a little more space than other styles. However, this bed also offers the added benefit of having 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 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 an infant bed with a slide in rooms that would not normally be suitable.

Style
The size of your bedroom and the sleeping habits of your child will determine the most suitable style of bunk bed for your children.

If you're looking for something that's more appealing, then an option with a wood finish, such as walnut or cherry is a good option. It adds warmth to rooms that are rustic or inspired by farmhouse but also provides plenty of visual contrast with bright shades.
Kids love decorating their bedrooms, so bunks offer an opportunity to express their creative side. Bunks that have been painted or stained can be the centerpiece of a fun and functional bedroom for kids particularly if they are equipped with a slide that is detachable.
