Bunk Beds Are Cooler Than Ever

If you're planning a shared children's bedroom or outfitting a dorm, or just maximizing your space bunk beds are a great choice and more fashionable than ever. There are many styles, including twin-overtwin and full over-full versions.

Find one that is in line with your budget and your children size, and keep in mind that certain bunks can be able to accommodate trundle beds on the bottom to accommodate sleepovers.

Bunk beds are an essential part of the bedrooms of children, offering both convenience and excitement for children who prefer to sleep side-by-side. They are also a popular choice for shared rooms and vacation homes. Bunk beds come in a wide range of styles and materials to suit any budget and room size. Our top picks for bunk beds range from basic twin-over-twin constructions to elaborate models with ladders or stairs and unique features like slides.

We considered a variety of factors while scouring the market for our top picks, including overall design, safety and value. We also asked parents and a person who wrote the book about bunk beds to help us find the best choices. Find out more about our seven top picks.

The dimensions of bunk beds are an important consideration before making a purchase, especially when it comes to the ceiling's height. Take measurements of your space prior to purchasing bunk beds to ensure they are sized correctly. The top bunk should have at least five inches of headroom. We also recommend against trundles beds with mattresses that hang high as they could limit headroom.

It is also important to consider whether you would prefer ladders or stairs to reach the top bunk. Stairs are typically more secure and safer to climb, but they can take up more area than a ladder. Ladders aren't as bulky and more affordable, but they may feel too steep for children.

On the product page you'll find the weight capacity of each top bunk mattress. The majority of manufacturers include this information near the dimensions of the mattress. A higher weight capacity indicates that the mattress is intended for older children or adults who might require a larger mattress.
