How to Find the Best Bunk Bed With Slide

A bunk bed with a slide turns a child’s room into a perfect sleepover area. It also provides a dimension of play that encourages exploration and imagination.

Look for beds that check off all of your design, safety and practical boxes. These top choices do that, plus offer additional options like under-bed trundles for guests who are staying overnight and bedside magazines racks for reading at night.

Design

Bunk beds are an ideal addition to any room. If you include a slide, they become an exciting playground for sleepovers or every day play. Bunk beds can be space-saving, making them an excellent choice for small rooms and accommodating a growing family. Bunk bed makers have also found creative ways to make bunk beds secure and enjoyable for kids. Some models include a built-in ladder that is lower than traditional bunk beds which makes them safer for children who are young. Some models allow you to remove the slide at a later time and transform the bunk bed into two separate beds once your children outgrow their playground look.

While bunk beds might appear sturdier than loft or platform designs, they can be fragile if not designed properly. Look for a solid wood construction, sturdy ladders and handrails as well as safety rails on the top bunk. Additionally, you should choose a design that uses a patented rock lock system to join the beds securely and prevent wiggling. This is important if the bunk bed will be an ongoing fixture in the child’s bedroom or if you are planning to sell your home when your child is ready for a different arrangement.
