When you are choosing a bunk that has a slide, think about the dimensions of the room as well as any furniture that is in it. Some beds, such as the Casey Chestnut Kids Bunk Bed with Slide and Ladder are perpendicular, and require more space than other types of bunk beds. This bed has a built-in slide and ladder to allow easy access to top bunk.
Another option to add an additional slide to bunk beds is the Billi-Bolli Slide Tower.

This allows you to put a slide for your kids in rooms that would normally not be suitable for this type of bed.

Style
The best bunk bed design for kids will depend on the size of your room and your child's sleeping habits.

If your ceilings are higher, you can go with a staggered design. It places the ladder at the other side and opens up the top bed which makes it easier for kids to climb up and down without hitting their heads.
For larger rooms, a full-over-full arrangement is a great option. It offers more storage in the form of a deep drawer on the bottom and allows older children to sleep on the higher level without feeling they're being ignored by their younger siblings. These bunk beds usually come with a ladder on the side or a staircase which provides an out-of-sight area for toys and books, as well as a sturdy slatted railing for safety.

These finishes go well with almost any kid's room regardless of whether it's coastal, cottage or colorful palette. If you're looking for something more eye-catching, a wood finish like cherry or walnut is also an excellent choice. It brings warmth and contrast to a rustic or farm-inspired room.
