Ladders
To get into the top bunk of a bunk bed could be a challenge for kids and adults alike. While some may be enticed to just climb up, this can be a risk of falling and is a risk for children, people with joint problems or are older. Ladders are a great solution to avoid this risk and provide a safe, comfortable and easy-to-climb entry point for children.
There are a range of ladder options available for bunk beds for kids, including straight and angled ladders. Straight ladders attach directly to the frame of the bunk bed and angled ladders stand out slightly from either side.

Ladders also come in a variety of designs and colors so that you can pick one that complements the look of your room or complements the color scheme of your bunk.
A bunk bed with stairs built into the side is another fantastic option. Stairs are more space-consuming than ladders, yet they don't protrude out of the side of the bed.

Slides

These beds are ideal for children who have trouble sleeping at higher levels. They are also a great way for older children to sleep.

Certain beds, like the Casey Chestnut Kids Bunk Bed with Slide and Ladder are perpendicular and require a bit more space than other kinds of bunk beds. But, this bed comes with the added benefit of a built-in ladder and slide that allows 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 can be put on the shorter side of the bunk bed to reduce the room depth required for a bed with slide. The depth can be reduced by 70 centimeters according to the height of the bed. This allows you to instal a kids bed with slide into rooms that wouldn't normally be suitable for this type of bed.

It provides warmth and a sense of contrast to the rustic or farm-inspired space.
