Mathy by Bols Treehouse Bunk Bed with Slide

Climb up, slide down. The Treehouse Bunk Bed with Slide puts the top bunk inside a proper cabin, with a pitched roof, cut-out windows and boards deliberately left uneven like a real treehouse, and a high-sided slide from the top bunk to the floor.

The lower bunk sits close to the floor, so it suits a younger brother or sister or a sleepover.

It's handmade to order in Belgium by Mathy by Bols, designed by François Lamazerolles, with a solid pine frame, a birch plywood ladder and MDF panels made from PEFC-certified wood from sustainably managed forests. Every bed is finished by hand in water-based lacquer that meets EN 71-3, the European toy safety standard for paint. There are 26 colours to choose from, and a matching touch-up stick comes with the bed.

The top bunk is for children aged 6 and over. Because it's made for your order, allow 3 to 4 weeks for delivery. It can't be returned as a change of mind, but faults and damage are covered in full. The roof and side panels arrive already assembled, so you join large sections rather than building from flat components.

Both bunks take the same size of mattress, to match the size you order: UK singles (90cm by 190cm), small doubles (120cm by 190cm) or 140cm by 190cm doubles. The mattress on the top bunk must be no deeper than 12cm, so the guard rails stay at their full height. Mattresses aren't included. The perforated bases come with the bed, so there are no extra bases to buy.

Room fit

The single takes 229cm of wall and comes 139cm out from it (169cm for the small double, 189cm for the double). It's 221cm high to the top of the roof in every size, so a standard 2.4m ceiling leaves about 19cm above it; measure your ceiling before ordering. Leave clear floor space at the bottom of the slide, and decide which side it goes before you build.

Questions parents ask

Which side does the slide go on?
Either. You choose left or right when you put the bed together, so it can suit your doorway and window.

Which mattresses do I need?
Two of the same size as the bed: UK singles (90 x 190cm), small doubles (120 x 190cm) or 140 x 190cm doubles. The one on the top bunk must be no deeper than 12cm.

Will it fit under my ceiling?
It's 221cm high in every size, so a standard 2.4m ceiling leaves about 19cm above the roof. Measure your ceiling before ordering.

Can I choose any colour?
Yes. All 26 colours are listed on this page, at the same price. If you'd like to see a colour sample first, just ask.
