Top Picks For the Best Kids Bunkbeds Bunk beds offer a great way to maximize the space in children's rooms, while also offering an enjoyable, shared bedroom design. We've compiled our top picks for the top bunk beds for kids each one of which is stylish, affordable and sturdy enough to last for an extended period of time. Many of our picks feature angled ladders, which take less space than straight ladders, but are still easier for kids to climb, says Fenton. Other options include stairs that require more space but are safer than ladders that allow climbing. 1. Crate & Kids Babyletto TipToe White & Washed Natural Wood Kids Bunk Bed This bunk bed is great for toddlers and younger children who may not be comfortable climbing up to the top bunk. The ladder is also on the side of the bed, making it easier for children to climb (and for parents or caregivers to read stories at bedtime or change sheets). The entire set is crafted with sustainably sourced Baltic Birch wood, which is Greenguard Gold and TSCA-compliant. The Crate & Kids Babyletto TipToe is a sleek, modern wooden bunk bed that is versatile enough for boys or girls. The white and natural finish can be incorporated into different styles of decorating and parents appreciate that the wood is finished with a protective stain. It's the perfect fit for a bedroom that is shared and can be split into two separate beds when your kids reach the age of teens. Bunk beds aren't just for saving space. They can also be used to improve the look of a room, provide fun play spaces and encourage sleepovers among friends. With a variety of bunk bed designs available for teens and kids it's easy to find one that meets your family's needs. Consider a bunk bed with a slide if you want a more playful version of the classic design. The slide bed makes it much more enjoyable to get up and down and it's safer than a ladder because it's lower and your child won't be bouncing backwards while they climb. It's also a great way to make bunk beds more enjoyable for older kids and teenagers or to allow siblings to share rooms at the beach. 2. South Shore Tuffing Twin Over Twin Metal Bunk Bed with Slide Metal bunk beds are available in different styles and designs. They are often available at a reasonable cost. Few metal bunk beds can be as good as this South Shore option, which has a trundle beneath the twin bed at the bottom to accommodate three guests for sleepovers (if the trundle is removed, the bunks are two single beds). The ladder is also designed to be angled so that it is easy for children to climb in and out. Depending on the shape of your room, and how often you'll use the bunks, you may want to go for an L-shaped layout like the one pictured in a bedroom designed by Bailey McCarthy. This design is space-saving by making the two bunks sit closer to each other, which is beneficial for smaller rooms or rooms with lower ceilings. It is easier to climb into because there are two ladders instead of one slanted ladder that can be difficult to use for younger children. Another aspect to consider when selecting a bunk bed is the height, which can be an important factor in determining whether or not your children will be comfortable sleeping high. This is why it's important to think about how tall your kids are and the height of your ceilings before making an investment. You may be influenced by distinctions between wood and metal bunk beds, and what type of mattress you choose. Kuo says that wood is the preferred option for bunk beds because it offers a more classic natural appearance and can endure the rigors of daily use. However “the most important thing is to choose a bunk bed that is compliant with industry standards and will be secure for your children,” she adds. 3. Pottery Barn Kids Belden Full Over Full Bunk Bed Bunk beds are a staple of furniture for children. They're space-saving yes, but they also feel adventurous to kids. There are often siblings fighting for the right to sleep on the top bunk, and even kids who do not have siblings or brothers like sleeping in bunk beds. Bunk beds can also be an ideal addition to your home if you have lots of guests to sleepovers as they're easy for kids to share with friends. The classic bunk bed is constructed from kiln-dried poplar wood and plywood to ensure durability and strength. Pick from a range of finishes that are child-safe such as French white, brushed grey and weathered blue. If you need extra storage space for bedding, clothes or other bedroom accessories, select the one that has a set of roomy drawers that can be pulled out and placed under the lower bunk. They are made of brushed nickel and have plenty of space to fold sheets, blankets, and books. The fixed ladder of the Belden bunk bed can be set on either the right or left side, and at an angle of straight or angled. Fenton states that the angled ladder is more comfortable to climb, but takes up more space. The bunks can be able to accommodate twin mattresses and are available separately. This design is for rooms with ceilings of at least eight feet. As opposed to standard bunks that have two identical beds, twin over full bunk beds feature the bottom bed as a full-size bed, and an upper twin bed. This arrangement is perfect for kids who want to share a space but prefer to keep their own style and privacy. The top bunk is equipped with guardrails that ensure your kids' safety while they sleep. 4. Max & Lily Low Bunk Bed with Slide This bunk bed has an oversized slide that can delight your child. They will be thrilled to slide down the slide with their family and friends, or sending their favorite animal to the trip of the lifetime. The simple, space-saving design makes it a perfect choice for small bedrooms where a full over full or a queen over queen bunk bed may not be a good fit. The angled ladder's rounded corners ensure the safety of climbing while also providing comfortable rungs. The easy-to-maintain and long-lasting, low VOC finish and the flush, color-matching hardware give a modern, clean look. This bed is distinguished by its solid, new Zealand pine wood construction and 400-pound weight limit. Parents say it takes a couple of hours to assemble however, they also note that the process isn't difficult. They suggest that you lay out each piece of wood with the label on it to make it easier to assemble. It's also an ideal idea to have two adults working together so that they can build the bed faster and with greater accuracy. The bunk bed is available in several finishes to coordinate with the decor of your kids. The white, crisp finish is a fail-proof choice for coastal, cottage and colorful bedroom schemes The grey brushed version is distinctly modern. The weathered blue option is a great choice with contemporary designs and is a perfect fit in transitional rooms for children. This bunk bed is designed to fit two twin mattresses. The bed comes in one box and is a bit heavy It's an ideal idea to have help when schlepping it up and down tight corners. The bunk bed comes with a one-year limited warranty to provide you with peace of mind. 5. Shyann Twin Over Twin Bunk Bed with Trundle For many kids bunk beds are a childhood staple—the ultimate space-saving furniture, they're also a great way to make your room feel more adventurous and enjoyable. There are many options available when it's time to pick the best bunk bed for your family and you. It's also important to pick a bunk bed that is durable and complies to CPSC safety standards. So, to help you find the perfect bunk bed for your kiddos, I consulted experts—parents—including one who literally wrote the book on bunk beds (and slept in some of them!) To determine the best options I spoke with parents. One of them literally wrote the book on bunk beds (and did sleep in a few of them!) We've got the best bunk beds for kids on the market, from classic wooden options to modernized metal beds. There are bunk beds that fit every budget and need. We've found a few with a touch of design flair, like this twin-overtwin model that comes with an incline. It's sure to delight your children (and may or not encourage some shenanigans). Also, since it's lower than the top bunk, it's a better option for kids who are young. Another option is this full-over-full bunk bed made of metal, which can be separated into two beds for an older-style layout if your children outgrow the bunks. The sturdy structure can hold up to 200 pounds per lower bunk and 250 pounds for each upper bunk. Bunk beds can be a significant investment, but they will last for a long time and give your kids many nights of restful sleep. And if your kids outgrow the bunks, most of the beds on this list can be converted into standalone twin beds, making it possible to save money and keep your children in the same bed for a while longer.
