How to Choose best bunk bed desk for Your Kids' Room Bunk beds can add fun and practicality to a child's room, particularly if you have limited space. We have options to suit your budget and space requirements whether you pick the classic twin-over full, or a loft with storage. Be sure to look for features such as stairs that protrude out, angled ladders, and more which make the bunks easier to climb and safer for older kids. Other additions include under-bed trundles for sleepovers as well as storage areas that double as play areas. Size When you are looking for a bunk bed the size is important. Make sure the beds fit into the space and provide enough space for you to climb up and down. Consider the dimensions of furniture pieces, such as a desk or dresser, should you decide to add them. Keep in mind that the bunks on top and bottom can only hold some weight in the event that they are used as adult bedroom furniture. Another crucial aspect is the height of your ceilings. “A good rule of thumb is to ensure there's at least 5 inches of clearance between the ceiling and the bed's bottom,” says Klugh. This will ensure that children are able to safely access the upper portion of the bed. Some bunk beds come with ladders, while others have stairs. “Stairs are generally easier to use than ladders, but they take up more space,” says Fenton. There are stairs with built-in drawers that can be used for storage which is ideal if you want to store your toys or bedding. But they're more expensive than straight ladders. Bunk bed materials also differ in cost. The less-expensive sets are typically constructed of medium-density fiberboard while the more expensive options typically have a solid wood construction or metal frames. Wood is strong and beautiful, but it is susceptible to warping by pests or water, so some parents prefer to avoid this material. The majority of bunk beds listed in this guide can be made in any color you'd like regardless of whether you prefer a white finish for a fresh look, or a smoky grey or rich walnut to go with any bedroom. The Sherwin-Williams Shyann Twin over Full Over Queen Bunk Bed, for example, has extra headroom between the top and bottom bunks, which reduces the possibility of hitting heads while sitting or reading in bed. Some of our choices even can be transformed into two beds, which is a great option in the event that you plan to sell the bunks after your children are old enough or plan on moving at some point in the future. This Woodcrest Kids Low-Profile Twin Over Full Bunk Bed with Staircase and Drawers is a durable solution that fits both twin-overtwin mattresses and full over-full ones. It is also available in a classic neutral color that will fit into any interior design palette. Safety Bunk beds are fun and exciting for children however, they're not without some security concerns. It is recommended to choose a bed frame constructed of durable and high-quality wood. It is also important to ensure that the bunk bed is equipped with guardrails for the top bed and that it meets all safety standards applicable. The guardrails must be a minimum of 5 inches in height and continuous across all sides of the top mattress. You should also check for gaps, openings or holes in the guardrails large enough to hold a child's head or torso, limbs, or head. The majority of bunk bed manufacturers set weight limits for their products. It is crucial to follow these guidelines, since over-weighing them can lead to bunk bed to collapse and create serious injury risks. A lot of these manufacturers have age limits on their bunk beds. In general, children must be at least 6 years old older to be able to sleep on the upper levels. The type of ladder that comes with the bunk beds is a different important aspect to think about. Some models have simple staircases made of metal, while others have more elaborate ones. Staircases are safer for children to climb, but not as safe as ladders made of solid steel. It isn't always easy for children who are tall or have difficulty climbing up and down. Also, make sure that the bunk bed is fixed to the wall and floor, and that it's not near any windows or items that kids might fall upon while they sleep. You should also regularly inspect the bunk bed for loose or broken parts that could need to be repaired or replaced. Keep spare screws and bolts in your home just in case they become lost or become loose after a while. It is also recommended to put the bunk beds in a corner so they have walls on both sides. This will stop any falls from the top or side of the bed and it will also make it more comfortable for your kids to climb into and out of bed. Style There are many elegant bunk beds that provide more than just a place to sleep. Some include additional storage, an integrated desk, or even slides. While it's essential to think about your child's preferences before purchasing a bunk bed, it's also wise to consider the arrangement of the room as well as how the bunk bed will integrate with the furniture. Some of the best bunk bed designs for children are simple in design. They feature stylish full-size or twin beds that stack together and are accompanied by a ladder. These minimalist styles can be ideal for tight spaces or rooms with low ceilings. They are a budget-friendly choice. Many of these models also can be split into two beds which is a great option when your children outgrow the bunk beds or you decide to relocate to a new home. Some bunk beds are more decorative and can be matched to other bedroom furniture. For instance this triple bunk from Pottery Barn offers an elegant neutral finish that works with both vibrant and muted hues. The angular design gives it a contemporary, clean appearance. The staircase has open-air shelves that can be used to store things that are not visible. The stairs also feature a stylish slatted railing and are sturdy enough to support the weight of an adult, meaning you don't have to fret about your kids falling off the top bunk. If your children are fans of the outdoors, this rustic bunk bed from Max and Lily might be just the ticket. Made from sustainably-sourced solid wood that is able to meet responsible forestry practices, this bunk bed is eco-friendly and striking.

The bottom bunk can accommodate twin mattresses (sold separately) and the top bunk is designed to fit the full size mattress, so this bed is suitable for children who are older. Stores Bunk beds are a great way to save space, however some models also have storage, making them more suitable for families or Airbnb guests. There are trundle beds that include a trundle, which pulls out from under the bunk's bottom to sleep with a child or another or even drawers for clothes and other items that can clutter up a smaller room. The Ilariana Heavy Duty Wood Safety Staircase Bunk Bed, for example, has two under-bed storage drawers and a bookcase with three shelves in different sizes, which can be great additions to a room with little space for shelves or closets. Another consideration when shopping for bunk beds is whether you'd like stairs or ladders to reach the top of the ladder. Ladders are more traditional, and can be more appropriate for the design of a room than stairs. However, stairs are more efficient, easier to climb, and they can be multi-functional — some models come with hollow stairs that can double as storage drawers. There are also minimalistic bunk beds that consist of two full or twin mattresses that are simply arranged. These are ideal for tight rooms or rooms with low ceilings, and are usually the least expensive option. Many of these can also be dismantled and set up as two separate beds, which is useful if you anticipate changing layouts of rooms or moving homes in the near future.
