Top Picks For the Best Kids Bunkbeds

Bunk beds are an excellent option for maximizing space in kids' rooms as well as creating a fun shared bedroom. We've selected our top picks of the best bunk beds for kids. They are all stylish, affordable, and durable.

A majority of our choices have angled ladders, which take less space than straight ladders but are still easier for kids to climb, says Fenton. There are also stairs, which require more room but are safer than ladders that allow climbing.

1. Crate & Kids Babyletto TipToe White & Washed Natural Wood Kids Bunk Bed

This bunk bed is perfect for toddlers and children who might not be at ease climbing the top bunk. The ladder is situated placed on the opposite side of the bed, making it more convenient for children to climb up (and for parents or caregivers to read bedtime stories or change sheets). The entire set is made from Baltic birch that is Greenguard Gold-certified and TSCA certified.

The Crate & Kids Babyletto TipToe bunk bed is a modern wooden bunk that is suitable for girls or boys. The natural and white finish is a perfect match with different styles of decorating, and parents love that the wood is protected with a stain. It's the perfect choice for a shared bedroom and can be split into two separate twin beds once your kids reach their teens.

While you may think of bunk beds as a way to conserve space, they're also popular to enhance the design of a room as well as creating fun play spaces and encouraging sleepovers with your friends. With the variety of cool bunk bed designs for teenagers and children it's easy to find a setup that will meet your family's unique needs.

If you're looking for a more playful take on the classic bunk bed, consider one with a slide. The slide bed makes it more fun to get up and down and it's more secure than a ladder since it's lower and your child won't be going backwards while they climb. Additionally, it's a great way to add extra fun to a regular bunk bed for older children and teens, or create a special place for siblings to sleep together on the beach or in a vacation rental.

2. South Shore Tuffing Twin Over Twin Metal Bunk Bed with Slide

Metal bunk beds are available in various styles and designs. A majority of them are available at an affordable price. Only a handful of bunk beds made from metal can compete with this South Shore option, which features a trundle underneath the twin bed at the bottom, which can accommodate three people for sleepovers (if the trundle is removed, the bunks transform into two beds). The ladder is also bent to make it easier for children to climb up and out.

Depending on the shape of your room and how often you'll use the bunks you may want to opt for a L-shaped layout, similar to the one featured in the bedroom designed by Bailey McCarthy. This design can save space by allowing two bunks be closer to each other. This is a great option for rooms with low ceilings or for smaller spaces. It's easier to climb up because there are two ladders rather than one slanted ladder which could be difficult to maneuver for younger children.

Another aspect to consider when selecting the right bunk bed is its height, which is an element in determining the likelihood that your children are comfortable sleeping high. It's important to take into account the height of your children as well as your ceilings when you are making a decision.

There are some differences between wood and metal bunk beds that can affect your choice, as well as the kind of mattress you choose. Kuo states that wood bunk beds are generally more appealing because they have a timeless, natural appearance and can withstand frequent use. "The most important thing to do is choose a bunk bed which meets industry standards, and is safe for children," she says.

3. Pottery Barn Kids Belden Full-Over-Full Bunk Bed

Bunk beds are an essential part of furniture for children. Bunk beds aren't only useful for space, but also a lot of fun for children. Siblings often fight for dibs on the top bunk and even children who don't have brothers or sisters like sleeping in bunk beds. Bunk beds are also an excellent option when you're hosting lots of guests for sleepovers, as kids can easily share them with their friends.

The classic bunk bed is constructed with kiln dried poplar wood to ensure strength and durability. It's available in a choice of child-safe colors, including creamy French white, brushed gray and weathered navy. Choose a model that has set large pull-out drawers beneath the lower bunks if you need more storage space for clothes and bedding or other bedroom accessories. They are made of brushed nickel and have plenty of space for folded sheets, blankets, and books.

The fixed ladder of the Belden bunk bed can be positioned on either the right or left side, and can be set at an angled or straight angle. The latter, Fenton says, takes up a little more real estate but is still easier to climb than straight ladders. The bunks are able to accommodate twin mattresses (sold separately) and this style is ideal for rooms with ceilings of at minimum 8 feet.

As opposed to standard bunks that feature two beds that are identical, twin over full bunk beds feature an upper full-size bed and a top twin bed. This layout is ideal for children who wish to share a bedroom, but still have their privacy and personal style. The top bunk has guardrails to ensure your children's safety as they sleep.

4. Max & Lily Low bunk bed with Slide





This bunk bed comes with a twin-sized slide that will delight your child. They will be thrilled to slide down the slide with their siblings and friends, or sending their favorite animal to the trip of an entire lifetime. The simple, space-saving design makes it an ideal choice for small rooms where a queen-over-queen or full over full bunk bed may not fit.

The angled ladder with corners that are rounded offers the safety of climbing while also providing comfortable rungs. The low VOC finish is easy to maintain and lasts for an extended period of time. The metal hardware that is flush and color-matched gives the bed a contemporary look. Solid new Zealand pine wood construction with a high capacity of 400 pounds makes this bunk bed apart from other beds in its price range.

Parents report that assembly takes only a few minutes but it's not too difficult. For easier assembly it is recommended to label each piece of wood. It's also recommended to have two adults working together so that they can construct the bed faster and with greater precision.

This bunk bed comes in various colors to fit your child's bedroom. The crisp white finish is a fail-proof addition to cottage, coastal and vibrant bedroom designs and the grey brushed version is distinctly modern. The weathered navy model works well with modern styles and fits seamlessly into the transitional rooms for kids. The bunk bed can be adapted to accommodate two twin mattresses (sold separately) and requires an a minimum height of 8 feet. The bed is shipped in a single box and is quite heavy and therefore it's a good idea to have a helping hand when moving it up and down tight corners. It also comes with a limited one-year warranty to give you security.

5. Shyann twin over twin bunk bed Trundle

Bunk beds are a childhood favorite for many children. They're not only the most space-saving furniture but also a fun option to add a bit of adventure and fun to a room. But when it comes to choosing the best bunk bed for your family, there are a lot of options on the market. It's also important to select the right bunk bed constructed to last and that is in compliance with 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 identify the best options.

We've got the top bunk beds for kids on the market, from traditional wooden options to sleek metal models. There are bunk beds to suit every budget and requirement. We've even discovered some that offer a little extra style, like this twin-over-twin design with slides that are sure to delight your kids (and could or might not cause some snark). Additionally, because it's lower than the top bunk, it's a better option for children who are younger.

The full-over-full bunk bed is another alternative. kids room furniture can be divided into two separate beds to create a more traditional arrangement if your children have outgrown their bunks. The sturdy construction is engineered to support up to 250 pounds on each of the upper bunks and 200 pounds on the bottom.

Bunk beds can be a significant investment but if you pick the right one for your children it's a piece furniture that will last a long time and offer years of fun sleeping. If your children grow out of the bunks, many of the options on this list convert into separate twin beds, so you can save money and keep your children in the same bed for longer.
