Are You Making The Most Of Your Kids Bunk Bed?
Bunk Beds With Ladders and Slides

Ladders
To get into the top bunk of a bunk bed can be a daunting task for children and adults alike. While some may be tempted to climb up, this is dangerous for older people, youngsters or those who have joint issues. Ladders are a great way to reduce this risk and provide a safe comfortable and comfortable entry point for children.
There are many ladder options available for bunk beds for children that include straight and angled versions. Straight ladders are connected directly to the frame of the bunk bed while an angled ladder extends slightly from the side of the bed. Angled ladders are an excellent choice for short spaces and are suitable for anyone of all ages since they allow more space to climb up the bunk. They also come in different colors and styles so you can choose one that matches the style of your space or matches your bunk's color scheme.
Another great option is to select bunk beds that have stairs that are located on the sides of the bunk. Stairs take up more space than ladders, yet they do not protrude from the bed's side. They are therefore an ideal choice for rooms that have plenty of space for floor. A lot of bunk beds for kids include storage cubbies. They are great for books, toys, and pajamas.
If you're on the tightest budget, a straight ladder is an affordable option for a bunk bed.

Stairs however, are a bit more expensive, but they are also extremely versatile and can be used by children of all ages as they grow up.
