The bistable Swift-Hohenberg equation exhibits multiple stable and unstable spatially localized states of arbitrary length in the vicinity of the Maxwell point between spatially homogeneous and periodic states. These states are organized in a characteristic snakes-and-ladders structure. The origin of this structure in one spatial dimension is reviewed, and the stability properties of the resulting states with respect to perturbations in both one and two dimensions are described. The relevance of the results to several different physical systems is discussed.
