Is there a more fun way of starting a day than just sliding right down into it? Not likely. Well, perhaps parachuting out of bed might be even more fun (or not), but it’s not exactly a feasible option for everyone, so the majority of us will have to settle for a slide as the second best thing.
Kidding aside, there are some fabulous options presented here that take the loft/bunk bed experience to a whole new level and are sure to enrich the life of your little princess or budding knight. These slide-equipped beds will turn any room into a regular indoor playground and bring about plenty of laughs and fun times — something for the kids to remember with fondness and nostalgia when they grow up.
Note that all the slides here are paired with low loft beds and low bunk beds — usually no more than 50 inches high, with the mattresses lying only about 40 inches (or less) off the ground — which is great for safety reasons (much less to fall from) and makes it possible for these beds to be (ab)used by younger kids too.
Twin Size Loft Beds With Slide
Adding a slide to a loft bed to spice up your kid’s fun activities seems almost like a no brainer (the slide does not add that much to the price), except there is a small matter of space. A twin loft bed or bunk bed with a slide attached will take up roughly 7 feet of space, plus there needs to be some distance between the end of the slide and a (conceivable) wall so that the kids don’t bump into it on the way down.
Twin Size Bunk Beds With Slide
Yes, bunk beds (two or more beds stacked one upon another) with slide exist too. But, a fair warning: if you do get one of these, be aware that there’s going to be even more fighting for the top bed.
Full Size Loft Beds With Slide
Full size loft beds come with some advantages, but in this particular case they will also exacerbate an issue I already touched upon above: space. A full size bed will add yet another foot, foot and a half, to the room required for its placement, so have that in mind. Note that with the Fateen bed the slide can be attached to either side of the bed; this may prove to be advantageous in some situations.
Loft Beds With Slide And Tent
A combination of slide and tent for the ultimate fun time. Note that these beds are available in different finishes, with tents in different colors and designs. Both are low lofts, but the Ogden is the lower of the two, making its slide less steep.
Loft Beds With Slide And Stairs
A staircase for safe ascending and a slide for fun descending. Not a bad slogan, is it? As far as slogans go. Maybe I should try for a job at an ad agency.
Castle Loft Beds With Slide
If you liked the under bed tent idea, why not just go all the way and give your kid the whole castle bed experience. And you know a castle loft bed would not be complete without a slide.
Metal Bunk Beds With Slide
Metal bunk beds have slides too. These are all of the low height variety, although you could say that the Ciacchi with its 54 inches already flirts with mid heights. The Padmukh goes up to almost 82 inches, but the top bed’s foundation is only 31 inches above ground, so it’s definitely a low bunk bed. And a pretty impressive one, with that elaborate house frame. And stairs, even.
