Find the Best Kids Bunk Beds and Loft Beds for Your Family
Loft beds and bunk beds are space-saving options that make kids feel at ease. They are available in a variety of designs, finishes and configurations.
For example, a twin over full bunk provides room for growth while also preserving floor space and allowing for one child to sleep at the top. Some have a ladder or trundle to allow easy access to the bed on top.

Kids bunk beds can add floor space to small bedrooms, freeing space for play and storage. A twin-over-twin bunk bed designed for children is ideal for small spaces, whereas the full-over-twin bunk bed can work well in larger rooms. Kids bunk beds also come in a variety of sizes, making it simple to find the ideal kids bunk bed for your family.
There are many options to meet your child's evolving tastes, whether you choose the classic wooden bunk bed or a modern metal one. Bunk beds can be a chic and practical accessory to any bedroom regardless of the amount of space available.
Some bunk beds come with additional features that help them stand out. For instance ladders can be set on either side of the frame to provide more layout options. Others feature an incline that can be climbed up to reach the top or even desks. These are great options for older children who want to study or work from the top, but don't necessarily require a full-size bed.
When it comes to safety, most bunk beds for children have weight limits that are high for the top and bottom and guard rails to avoid falling or injury. They also pass anti-tip tests essential for any furniture that is designed for children.
Many of our favorite bunk beds for kids convert into two separate children's beds, extending the lifespan of your investment and allowing one or both kids to have a separate bed when they're ready. Some have trundles that can be used for additional storage or another mattress (which is particularly useful if one child is having trouble getting to sleep). Some bunk beds, like our pick from Babyletto are certified GREENGUARD-GOLD, which means they meet strict chemical emissions and VOC standards, resulting in a better indoor air quality.

Bunk beds are a great way to maximize space in the room of your child while allowing siblings to sleep together without sharing a mattress. There are a variety of bunk bed styles available with each having their own unique benefits and characteristics. Bunk beds can be constructed out of metal or wood and come with a sturdy frame that supports up to two beds. They can be fitted with drawers or trundle bed that allows the lower bed to be used as a couch during the day, and expand into a bed at night.
The most commonly used bunk bed is made up of two beds that are placed one on top of the other. This is a great arrangement for kids who have outgrown cribs, but aren't ready to upgrade to full-size beds. Some bunk beds come with an additional twin mattress which can be tucked into the bottom bunk for additional sleeping space in the event of need. Other bunk beds have an ottoman on the bottom, which can be used as a sofa during the day and removed to create an overnight bed.
For children who are on the younger side, consider an incredibly low bunk that is more in line with the ground. This type of bunk is ideal for rooms with low ceilings and provides a safe place for children to sleep. Many low bunks come with broad and flat ladder rungs for easy climbing, and they can be equipped with safety rails to provide peace of mind.
A high-sleep bunk is a great idea for older kids, but it's important to ensure that they have the right room size and safety measures in place to sleep on the top bunk. It is best to allow children that are this age to sleep together when they have the same schedules and are willing to observe certain rules, for example, not using electronics or music prior to the time of bed.
