The main element of a child’s bedroom, the bed must be well chosen. It is clear that the bed for your child must be safe and comfortable. But to make him love his room, the design of the bed is very important. Indeed, with a bunk bed with slide, for example, you will give your child a pretty bed that will make them want to sleep at night. In addition, it is also a game that he will love to play when he wakes up, in the morning, or during those play sessions. But the bunk bed with slide is a fairly imposing piece of furniture that requires more or less space, both in terms of the surface than the height. Exactly, from what size bedroom can you have a bunk bed with a slide? Here is our guide to this type of bed.
Bunk bed with slide: several possibilities for all room sizes!
Contrary to popular belief, opting for a bunk bed with a slide will save you space. Indeed, if the height of your ceiling allows it, you will be able to save floor space by having two bunk beds. On the other hand, you can opt for a mezzanine bed with a slide and set up storage or a small desk under the bed.
What can pose a problem is the slide which needs a good slope to allow your little ones to slide comfortably to get off the bed. However, even if you have a small bedroom of 9 m2, you will find on the market a bunk bed with a slide that only takes up a little space. In this case, the slope will be steeper, without this being dangerous for your child. Opt for a bunk bed with a lower height if you have a cramped space.
But to have a bunk bed with a large slide, you must at least have a room of 12 or 13 m2.
What height for your bunk bed with slide?
For a bunk bed with slide, a 70 to 90 cm height is already very good. In fact, these are the most widespread models. They pose no danger while offering your children the joy of a good slide! This is the ideal height if you have a small child’s bedroom. Indeed, such a slide bunk bed will not require too long a slope and will therefore only take up a little space.
If your children are already big enough and you have a large bedroom, don’t hesitate to opt for a higher slide bunk bed. In this case, you must also have a greater ceiling height, for example:
- A ceiling height of 2.20 m for a bunk bed 1.60 m high,
- A ceiling height of 2.30 m is required for a slide bunk bed 1.70 m high,
- A ceiling height of 2.40 m is required for a 1.80 m children’s bunk bed.
