Seven of the Best Kids Bunkbeds to Last From Toddler to Teen Years

Bunk beds are the ultimate space savers that offer effective sleeping and playing. They're also a big hit with kids, who can't seem to be bored of sliding down the slide or sending their favorite stuffed animals hurtling across the air.

This wood bunk bed is available in a variety of finishes. Choose from white to create a cottage or coastal look or clay and gray to create a swish contemporary space. The ladders are also angled which take up less space than straight ones.

Bunk beds can make bedrooms exciting, fun and cool whether it's for siblings sharing a room or one kid inviting friends over for a sleepover. But the biggest advantage is that they save space. A conventional bunk bed can double (or triple) the amount of space for sleeping in a room while taking up the same floor space as an adult or twin bed.

While some bunk beds are stacked in a traditional twin-over-twin arrangement, others are arranged in more creative ways. Some bunk beds come with an escalator leading to the bed above, while others are laid out in an L-shaped unit, with two beds next to each one. This allows children to sleep together, but leaves plenty of room for bookshelves, toys and other items.

Unlike a traditional metal bunk bed, this wood version is durable and stylish, a combination that stands the test of time. The clean lines, curving edges and contrasting natural wood finish provide contemporary appeal while also making the room appear more spacious. The ladder can be placed on either side of the bed to meet your needs.

This bunk bed also has GREENGUARD Gold Certification1 for low emission of chemicals into the air. This creates a safer environment for playing and sleeping. This bunk bed is also popular with parents due to the fact that it uses only plywood, spruce wood and medium-density fibreboard, all of which are Greenguard Gold-certified and TSCA compliant.

Katie Siegel, the lead designer at Rumor Designs, says that when selecting a bunk bed that is suitable for children take into consideration the size of your room. You should make sure that the dimensions of the bed match those of your room otherwise they could appear too heavy and unbalanced. It is also important to determine whether your ceilings are high enough for an elevated mattress.

Last but not least, consider how your children will get to and from their bunk beds. Some models have a standard ladder, while others have an alternative stairway that has large steps that allow children to safely climb up and down. This is particularly important when older children are using the top bunk by themselves.


In addition to traditional twin-over-twin bunk beds, there are also some models that can sleep three people, which is ideal for larger families or those who host frequent sleepovers. One option is this three-person bunk bed from Harriet Bee, which offers simple design that's suitable to smaller rooms and comes with an affordable price. The bed can sleep three, it can be converted into two separate beds if your kids decide that they don't require the extra sleeping space.

Bunk beds are a great solution for space saving that can also make kids feel adventurous. It can be difficult to select the right bunk bed for your family, particularly when there are a myriad of options, and their cost and dimensions.

All of the twin-over-twin options listed here are safe for kids and all of them meet CPSC and voluntary standards set by ASTM. Most of the choices include a safety railing at the bottom bunk and some have trundle pullouts that can be used to create one bed. Some have fixed ladders which are safer than stairs however they take up more space. Some have ladders that are angled and can be placed on the long or on the short side of the bunk.

Most bunk beds are simple practical designs with a range of styles available. They can be used in farmhouse or modern designs. The majority of bunk beds are Greenguard Gold certified. This means that they release low levels of chemical, so you can rest at night knowing that your children are safe space.
