Bunk beds are a handy way to expand space in a crowded room for children. Whether housing two boys or two girls, units that have safety rails for the top space and a stair rather than a ladder provide more secure access for youngsters. With that said, bunk beds can come in all sorts of configurations, including loft beds with a bunk beneath.

Full Size, with Twin

A unit that has a full-size bed below with a twin bed on top provides a little extra safety “cushion” in the form of the mattress of the lower bed. Tumbling out of bed is not uncommon for youngsters. A rail for the top bunk, along with a mattress at the next level provides a bit of insurance for a restless sleeper. It also provides a chance to display attractive bedding, both above and below.

Add a Trundle

Adding a trundle bed beneath the bottom bunk provides one more sleeping space, which can be handy for large families in small spaces. It can also provide space for a visiting child if your child is hosting a sleep-over. Trundles also provide a comfortable play space during quiet time – a nice spot for a child to read books, play with electronic games or otherwise entertain themselves while giving mom or dad a chance to nap.

Storage and Stairs

Access stairs can provide a handy place for storage. Under steps can have pull-out drawers that make a good place to put shoes, toys or even underwear. Beneath the stair unit, if it does not go right up over the bed, is a good place to put a closet for clothing that does better on hangers, or even a place to put a toy box or two.

Loft bed, with Twin and Trundle

A loft bed can provide a fun place for an older sibling to have a little space away from younger siblings, who can have a twin bed and a trundle. By turning the twin sideways a small desk or dresser or both can be added to help keep a busy room organized.

Slides and Fire Poles

These can be fun additions to a child’s bed but might require some serious discussions of appropriate use – especially in a room where children of mixed ages share the space.

Double bunk beds with stairs can be a way to save space in a child’s room while introducing added storage space for youngsters’ possessions. Clearly defined spaces can help mitigate inappropriate interaction between siblings while promoting responsibility for one’s own space. The beds provide comfortable sleeping areas while the stairs and under the stairs create added opportunities for storage.

Play rugs and trundles can add interest to an already fun space, making it no hardship at all for youngsters to be sent to their room while the parental units calm down enough to discuss why he or she is being sent to think about transgressions.

Just consider all the creative ways that you and your child could organize bunk beds.

Are you facing space constraints in your child's bedroom? It's a common issue when two or more children have to share a room in a home with few bedrooms. Learning how to choose bunk beds is the best way of resolving this issue.

The first thing you'll notice when you start shopping around is there is no shortage of options in today's market for bunk beds. However, with such a broad range of options to choose from, that makes figuring out what's ideal a challenge.

In this guide, we're going to discuss how to choose bunk beds to help you navigate through your buying decisions. That way, the process doesn't become overwhelming or a hassle.

Do You Want the Bunk Beds to Separate?

One thing that's common among all bunk beds is that they vary in height. Even though your children are using them primarily for sleeping, that doesn't mean they won't have other uses. For example, your children might want to sit up and read or use their electronic devices. Can they do this comfortably in the bunk beds you're considering? Is there a chance your child will hit their head when trying to move around or in a sitting position?

As your child continues to age, they'll also get taller. So, take all of these things into consideration when looking at bunk beds. Ideally, you don't want your child to grow out of their bed too soon, or else you're looking at making another investment. Otherwise, if there's space, consider choosing a set that will separate. These sets also allow you to place spacers in between each bunk to help raise the upper bed.

How to Select the Right Size Bunk Bed?

Beyond choosing a bunk bed that separates or is the right height, you must also consider the bed's size. There are several sizes from which you can select, including:

Twin Over Twin

These are the most popular option as there are two twin beds, one on top of the other. These bunk beds don't take up much room and are optimal for tight living spaces.

Twin Over Full

Here's an option where there's a twin bed on top of a full. If you have an older child sharing a room with a younger sibling, this is an excellent option.

Full Over Full

If you don't plan on reinvesting in beds for your children for a while, this is an optimal choice. You'll find that both the top and bottom bunk have full beds, thus allowing your child to grow.

Twin Loft

This bunk bed features one twin bed with loft space below. If your child's room is small, this gives them extra space for a desk, dresser, or toy boxes.

Before selecting a set of bunk beds, make sure your ceiling is tall enough to accommodate them. In other words, you should be allowing for at least two or three feet of headspace between the ceiling and the top bunk. Another size consideration is the bed's mattress. There's no need to purchase special mattress sizes as a standard size will work fine.

How to Make Sure the Bunk Bed is Safe?

This step for choosing a bunk bed is a given. All parents want their children to remain safe. That means looking for sets that include sturdy safety rails to prevent your child from falling in the middle of the night. While most sets come with rails, it's easy to overlook them when constructing a set of bunk beds.

Selecting a wooden set of bunk beds is also safer than metal. The main reason is that metal might have screws sticking out, it's slippery, and gets cold. Wooden bunk beds are durable and easy to maintain, which further adds to their stability and safety. Typically, a bunk bed's construction features birch plywood, cedar, or pine. Make sure the bed set complies with standards set by Consumer Product Safety.

How Can the Bunk Beds Double as Storage Storage?

Look at the space available in your child's room. Will that space fit a set of bunk beds featuring storage? There are dozens of storage bed options you can choose from to help maximize space, including:

Storage Bunk Beds

These sets feature a classic style whereby drawers are available in a set of stairs leading to the top bunk, as well as beneath the bottom bed. If you don't have room for a stairway on the side of the bed, then there are still options featuring drawers beneath the bottom bunk.

Loft Storage Bed

If your child is in a small room with space limitations, the loft storage bed is an excellent option. Like the storage bunk beds, some models feature a stairway with drawers. Otherwise, you'll find drawers, cubbies, and cabinets below the top bunk.

Twin Over Twin with Side Storage or Desks

While most twin over twin bunk bed sets is in the same position, here's where things get creative. The bottom bunk of these sets are in the middle and point outward. That design allows for storage on either side or the ability to add storage on one side and a desk on the other.

Best Tips

Choose a set of bunk beds that will separate, so you can add spacers as your children grow.
Consider the size of the set of bunk beds you'll need to prevent your children from growing out of them.
The bed's safety must include the installation of rails.
Bunk beds featuring storage help maximize the space in small bedrooms even more.

Final Thoughts

While the design of the bed tends to take priority when figuring out how to choose bunk beds, there are many other options to consider. For example, if your child's room is contemporary, then select a set of bunk beds that feature a color instead of stained wood. That way, you're matching the set's style with the rest of the room's décor and preventing it from being obtrusive.
