Bunk Beds Are Cooler Than Ever

Whether you're designing a shared children's bedroom or outfitting a dorm, or just maximizing your space, bunk beds are versatile and more fashionable than ever. There are many styles to think about, including twin over twin and full-over-full models.

Select a childrens bunk bed bed that fits within your budget and the dimensions of your child's bedroom. Some bunk beds can accommodate trundle mattresses on the bottom to accommodate sleepovers.

Size

Bunk beds are a staple of childhood bedrooms, offering both comfort and excitement for children who wish to sleep together. They are also common in shared rooms and vacation homes. Bunk beds are available in a range of styles and materials with options that will fit any budget and room size. Our bunk bed picks range from basic twin over twin designs to more elaborate models with ladders or stairs, and also unique features such as slides.

As we searched the market to select our top choices, we considered many factors, including overall design and safety, as well as the price. We also consulted parents and a person who literally wrote the book about bunk beds to help us choose the best choices. Read on to discover our seven top picks.

The size of bunk beds is an important factor to consider prior to making a purchase, especially in relation to the ceiling's height. Make sure you measure your space prior to buying bunk beds to ensure they are sized correctly. The top bunk should have at minimum five inches of headroom. We also recommend staying away from trundle beds that have mattresses with a high hanging which may limit headroom and increase the risk of bumped heads.

It is also important to consider whether you prefer ladders or stairs to get to the top bunk. Stairs are easier to climb and safer, however they can take up more space on the floor than ladders. Ladders are smaller and cost-effective, however they can be too steep for young children.

It is also important to pay attention to the capacity for weight of the top bunk mattress which is available on each product's page. This information is usually listed close to the dimensions of the mattress. A higher weight capacity indicates that the bunk is intended for older children or adults who might require a larger mattress.

A versatile bunk bed option, the Shyann bunk bed from Room & Board offers three finishes to complement your kids' bedroom decor. The white of the snow adds a luminous coastal look to a classic kids' room, while brushed gray or rich walnut add a touch of warmth and elegance to a rustic or farmhouse style.

Safety

When you are looking for a bunk bed, it's important to look beyond the price tag and ensure it has all of the safety features you need. A reputable seller lists the capacity for weight and describes the structure's durability and strength. This is particularly important for families that plan to use the beds again as their children get older.

A good rule of the thumb is to leave at least 33 to 36 inches between the top mattress and the ceiling, suggests Rebecca Simon, a designer with Maison Ellie Interiors for kids bunk bed. If you don't want to sacrifice that much space, you might prefer a low height bunk bed. "That's ideal for a small room, because it keeps the bunk below off the floor. It can be uncomfortable for kids bunk bed as they become older."

Another thing to consider is how much space you have for stairs or ladders. A bunk with built-in stairs will save space, but it could also be more costly and require a longer assembly. If you are short on space, choose a simple ladder to allow your children to safely climb up to the top bunk.

All bunks in this list are made of sturdy materials and meet the Consumer Product Safety Commission requirements for guardrails. They also pass the lead and anti-tip test and are a welcome comfort for parents with children sharing a room. For instance, the wood-and-metal Room & Board model is "built like a tank," says Laura Fenton who is the author of The Bunk Bed Book: The Bunk Bed Book: 115 Bunks Lofts, Lofts, and Cozy Nooks. "These are beds used in hotels, so they're built to last."

This trundle model from Bed Bath & Beyond is ideal for those looking for a bunk bed that will evolve with their children. It can be converted into two twin beds one for tweens and the other one for teenagers. It's the only bunk bed that isn't wood bed on the list, and its sturdy steel frame is extremely light for such a heavy-duty piece of furniture. It's available in an extensive variety of colors and can be customized with additional accessories, such as under-bed storage drawers.

Style

Bunk beds are available in various sizes and shapes that you can pick one that best fits your family's space. There are numerous configurations, including the classic twin-over-twin bunks, or beds that are specialized like twin-over queen or queen-over-twin. Some are made of steel and others are made of wood and have side rails for the top bunk. The design of the frame as well as other features can also vary and you'll need to think about the amount of storage you'll need as well as what overall look you prefer.

When evaluating price, keep in mind that the greater the price of a bunk bed, the more customizable it can be, Klugh says. This could mean adding accessories such as a staircase, or ladder. It could also refer to the possibility of adding the trundle bed, which allows for easy guests to stay over or for sleepovers. Some models can be taken apart to function as two separate beds--a convenient option if you think your children will outgrow the bunk beds or you are planning on moving to a different home in the future.

The number of beds you select will also impact the price and style. For example, you might opt for a simple twin over twin bunk bed that makes the most of the floor space and is inexpensive. You could also choose to invest more money in a solid-wood bunk bed with an elegant, sturdy design that grows with your children and possibly accommodate adults in the future.

Whatever size and style you pick regardless of the design and size, you must check the weight capacity of the bunk beds to make sure they can support the number of sleepers you'll be using them for. Some childrens bunk beds beds are only intended for children and only support 165 pounds. Others have a higher capacity and can accommodate adults and children who are growing.

Finally, it's worth noting that a bunk bed could be a major investment and, therefore, a significant commitment. If you're unsure whether a bunk bed will work for your family, visit a retailer's showroom or read reviews of customers on their website. This will give a good idea of the craftsmanship and quality of the bunk beds.

Bunks with trundle beds that can be removed can be adapted to older children or adults who prefer to sleep on a mattress that is large enough.

Additionally, bunk beds that can accommodate three or four people make a wise purchase for families seeking to maximize space in bedrooms with high ceilings. These models can even be a great fit in corner spaces, enabling owners to make use of awkward nooks that might otherwise be wasted.

The type of material and the color your bunk bed is crafted from will affect the overall appearance and feel. Wood bunks have a classic timeless appeal that fits well in contemporary, coastal and farmhouse interiors. Steel bunks are, on the other on the other hand are a more contemporary option that is a great match with midcentury and industrial styles.
