Are there any two-bed bunk beds that come with a slide?

Not sure if anyone can help - ds1 and dd2 have decided they want to share a room mainly because they want bunk beds - they have spotted a bunk bed that has a ladder and slide but it only has one bunk. Has anyone seen a double version?

I would have thought that slides were to be entirely avoided when buying furniture for dcs to SLEEP on!

if you look here you need to scroll down to the thuka ones, it says you can add a slide to the bunks

if you give them a ring at rainbow wood they#ll be able to tell you miore. we got our thuka stuff from them and were very pleased with the service- small family run place

OMG - that was so quick. I'd seen Thuka stuff but didn't realise that you could get the slides on the double-height sets. (Am now swooning over much more stylish but terrifyingly expensive Parisot bunks though .)

Thanks yesterday and at Portofino.

we got the thuka because they're so versatile

atm we have a shorty midsleeper. when ds2 is a bit bigger we'll buy another shorty bed and turn them into bunks (maybe even with a slide! lol)

once they're both older we can turn them into full-size singles, either as bunks or as separate beds. or as mid/high sleepers.

they're not the nicest looking beds I know, but the versatility did it for us! very sturdy too

Is the shorty the only double height one that can take a slide?

We've got a mid sleeper with a slide for ds who is 5. After the novelty wore off he doesn't really use the slide. Even on the mid sleeper they take up a huge amount of space, his room is a decent sized double room and it takes up most of it. For a full bunk you would need an enormous bedroom.

Ours is from Argos, but is actually a thuka one, and it is fantastic quality.
