Find the Best Kids Bunk Beds and Loft Beds for Your Family

Bunk beds and loft beds are efficient space-savers that feel adventurous to kids. They're available in a wide array of designs, finishes and configurations.

A twin-over-full-bunk, for example, allows for space for growth and helps to save floor space. One child can sleep on the top bunk. Some offer a ladder and trundle that allows easy access to the top bed.

Kids bunk beds can expand the floor space of a small room, allowing more room to play and storage. A twin-over-twin bed for kids is great for small spaces, while the full-over-twin bunk bed can work well in larger rooms. Kids bunk beds also come in different sizes, making it easy to find the ideal bunk bed for your family.

There are plenty of options to suit your child's changing tastes, whether you choose a classic wooden bunk bed or a sleek metal one. Bunk beds are stylish and practical addition to any bedroom, regardless of the space available.

Some bunk beds offer extra features that make them stand out, like ladders that can be positioned on either side of the frame for more configuration options. Some bunk beds include a staircase to climb up or a desk. These options can be helpful for older children who wish to study or work from the top but don't necessarily need an entire bed.

Most bunk beds for kids have rails that protect against accidents and falls. They also have weight limits that are very high for the bottom of the bed. They also pass anti-tip testing, a must for any kids furniture.

Many of our favorite bunk beds for kids can be converted into two separate children's beds, prolonging the life of your investment and allowing one or both kids to sleep separately when they're ready. Some bunk beds feature trundles which can be used as extra storage or a second mattress (which is particularly useful when children have difficulty falling asleep). And some bunks, like our choice from Babyletto which we recommend, are GREENGUARD GOLD certified to meet the strict chemical emissions and VOC requirements, resulting in better indoor air quality.

Bunk beds are a great option to maximize space in the room of your child while giving siblings the chance to sleep together without sharing mattresses. There are a myriad of types of bunk bed designs that are available, each with its own unique features and benefits.

They may also be outfitted with additional elements such as drawers, or trundle beds that let the bed below serve as a sofa during the day and expand into an extra sleeping surface at night.

The most popular bunk bed is made up of twin beds placed one on top of the other. This configuration is ideal for children who have outgrown their cribs but aren't quite ready to move to a larger bed. Some bunk beds include an extra twin-sized mattress that can be tucked under the bunk at the bottom to give extra sleeping space.

Pick a bunk bed with a low profile that is closer to ground level for kids who are younger. This kind of bunk is perfect for rooms with low ceilings, and it provides a safer space for children to rest in. Many low bunks come with large and flat ladder rungs that allow for easy climbing, and they can be equipped with safety rails for added security.

Choosing a high bunk is a smart choice for older children, however, it is important to make sure they have the proper room size and safety precautions in place to sleep on the top bunk. It's also best to let children of this age sleep together only if they have similar schedules and agree to abide by certain rules, such as no electronic devices or music prior to bedtime.
