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

Bunk beds are the ultimate space savers that offer efficient sleeping and play. They're also popular for kids who can't seem to be bored of sliding down the slide or sending their favorite stuffed animals flying through the air.

The wood bunk bed is available in a variety of finishes. Select white for a coastal or cottage appearance, or clay and gray to create a flexible, contemporary space. There are also angled ladders that take up less space than straight ones.

Bunk beds can make a bedroom cool, fun and exciting, whether for siblings sharing rooms or for a single child inviting friends to a sleepover. The main benefit is that they can save space. A normal bunk bed doubles (or triples) the amount of sleeping space that a room can hold while maintaining the same footprint on the floor as a single twin or a full-sized mattress.

Some bunk beds are stacked twin over twin and others are set up more creatively. For example, some feature a staircase that leads to the upper bed, while others are designed as an L-shaped unit with two beds in close proximity to each other. This allows children to sleep together, yet leaves plenty of room for bookshelves, toys and other objects.

This wood bunk bed is a great alternative to traditional metal bunk beds. It's stylish and sturdy and will last for a long time. The clean lines, curved edges and contrasting natural wood finish add contemporary appeal while also making the space feel more spacious. Plus, the incorporated ladder can be set on either side of the bed, allowing you can adjust the layout to suit your needs.

Another benefit of this bunk bed is that it's GREENGUARD GOLD Certified1 for low chemical emissions into the air that creates an environment that is more healthy to relax and sleep. This bed is loved by parents due to the fact that it uses only plywood, spruce wood and medium-density fibreboard. All of which are Greenguard Gold-certified as well as TSCA-compliant.

When you're choosing a bunk bed for your children, it's important to consider the overall size of your space, says Katie Siegel, lead designer at Rumor Designs. You should make sure that the dimensions of the bed are in line with the dimensions of your room, otherwise, they could look too heavy and unbalanced. Also, you should determine whether your ceilings are tall enough for a lofted mattress.

Also, think about the method your children use to get up and down their bunks. Certain models come with a standard ladder while others have an alternative staircase that is built with large steps that allow children to safely climb up and down. This is particularly important when older children are sleeping on the top bunk on their own.

In addition to the traditional twin-over-twin bunk beds, there are also a few models that sleep three people--which is ideal for larger families or those who like to host frequent sleepovers. One option is this three-person bunk bed from Harriet Bee, which offers a no-frills design that's suited to smaller rooms and has a budget-friendly price tag. While this bunk bed sleeps three, it can be converted into two separate beds if your kids decide that they don't need the extra sleeping space.
