How to Choose the Best Bunk Beds for Teens

Loft beds and bunk beds can bring fun and function to kids' rooms. They can also help reduce space.

Find bunks designed to be flexible, such as bottom storage drawers, a trundle bed that's easy to take down, and twin beds that can be separated into two beds. Also, consider the weight capacity of the top bunk.

Size

When selecting a bunk bed for your children You'll need to think about the size, style and security. Consider the height of the ceiling to ensure that the bunks will are suitable for your space. Also, make sure there's enough space for your kids to move around them. The beds should be spaced sufficiently apart that kids can safely move up and down and not crash into each other or the walls. Additionally, you should determine whether the top bunk can support mattresses of the same size as the bottom one so that you won't need for a trundle, or an additional bed in the future.

You can also choose a bunk design that isn't conventional and suited to your space better. An L-shaped bunk bed could be the perfect choice for a small space or an area that is shared by two people. It can save the floor space and can also accommodate a twin over full or queen mattress on each of the lower and upper levels, based on the model you pick.

Many of the best bunk beds for teens are built to adapt to your child's needs by converting into two independent double beds when they're ready to an adult bed. For instance, the Storkcraft Solid Wood Ladder Twin Bunk Bed features a classic farmhouse-inspired style with curving headboards and wagon-themed guardrails along the top bunk. It's made from knot-free New Zealand pine and has an attached ladder that connects the beds at the top and bottom and leaves more floor space for kids to play on.

Another alternative is a loft bed, which maximizes corner space in rooms with tweens. It's a great option for smaller spaces since it doesn't take up as much vertical space and allows the lower levels to be used as a desk and dressers, or storage cabinets. It's also a great choice for older kids because it doesn't require you to climb stairs or a ladder which makes it more accessible to larger children and adults.

Before you purchase any type of bunk bed, check it out in your kids bedroom using blue painter's tape to determine how high it will rise off the ground. This will give you a feel of whether it could be easily climbed into and out of at night, without bumping heads or hitting the bottom of the window sill or hanging curtains. It is also important to consider the safety of your family by reviewing the Consumer Product Safety Commission regulations for bunk beds. These regulations include guardrails and features that stop falls or entrapment.

Safety

Bunk beds can be the ideal choice for families with children of all ages. However, it is essential to consider the safety features before purchasing. You should look for beds with rails that are high enough to keep children from falling over or getting trapped and an option that doesn't raise the sleep surface too high. Be aware of the weight limit of the bunk bed. Some have less weight limits than others.

When choosing a bunk bed, check its manufacturer's website for specifications on the mattress sizes and weight limits. Most manufacturers will provide guidelines on the maximum thickness of the top bunk mattress. They'll also provide the maximum weight capacity of the upper bunk bed and the bunk.

The best rated bunk beds bunk beds are sturdily constructed and the ladders or stairs should attach to the frame securely and have handles on the sides for security. Avoid bunks that have slatted sides because they are dangerous for kids to climb up or down, especially if the slats aren't tightly fitted together. If your children enjoy playing on the ground, opt for a low-slung bottom bunk so that they can play and sit without being too high off the floor.

Pick an L-shaped mattress if you don't have much space in your child's room or if you don't want it taking up a lot of space. They require less space and are generally larger than a single bed. This makes them ideal for rooms with narrow ceilings. They're also suitable for children of smaller age who may be scared of the higher bunks.

If you're looking for a little more space, a full-overfull bunk bed is the best choice. They are typically the safest and most stylish bunk beds that are available and can be used as full or twin size beds. Pottery Barn Kids' Belden is a stylish sturdy and durable option that will grow with children as they get older and accommodates trundle mattresses (sold separately) for older teens and adults. It's Greenguard Gold certified, meaning it emits low levels of chemicals. It's made from sustainably harvested Baltic Birch wood, and is available in a variety of colors.

Style

A good bunk bed can make teens feel happy regardless of whether it's a shared bedroom or for only one child. Some designs are minimalist and sleek and others have more playful elements. Bunk beds come in various sizes, ranging from twin over twin to full-over-full or even queen. The twin-over-full design is popular with tweens because it allows them to sleep two kids in the same room while leaving enough space for a desk dresser, or drawers for storage at the bottom. Some designs come with a an trundle bed that can be used on the upper level to fit an extra mattress.

Fenton says that tweens like a twin-over-king loft bed because it occupies less space and provides them with more space to spread out or work at home. Metal bunk beds with full-length guardrails are a popular choice for older children because they're "built to last and it's the most sturdy, adult-friendly bunk," Fenton adds.

For a truly cool bunk, you should consider an T-shaped or l-shaped design that's basically a platform bed elevated. They're designed with a ladder at the end. This gives them a sleeker look and more room to set up a desk or dresser. They aren't as space-saving as bunk beds, but they allow teens to have more space in their rooms.

You should consider a futon bunk If you're looking for a bunk bed that is affordable and provides safety and comfort. Futons are portable and compact which means they can be moved around if you're looking to revamp your child's room in the future. They are not as durable as metal or wood bunk beds and the top bed isn't equipped with guardrails.

Bunks that include stairs or ladders are also available. Ladders are smaller and are easier to climb. Stairs are more secure and can serve as a seating area for younger kids. Some models can even be able to convert into a desk and chair which allows your child to have the perfect bedroom set-up to study or play.

Budget

When choosing a bunk bed, it's crucial to think about your budget. There are many inexpensive options available, but if need a bed that will endure through your teens and on into adulthood, you should consider spending a little more to get a top-quality bed that can be used indefinitely.

Before you begin shopping, consider who will be sleeping in the bunk bed, and what their needs for sleep could be. A twin-overtwin configuration works well for siblings who share the same bedroom, whereas full over full bunk is a great option for adults who are looking to save space or reduce the expense of a separate queen bed. You'll need to decide on the amount of headroom that is available between the top bunk and the bottom bunk. If your children are still in toddler beds, you may want to select a layout that is lower to the ground.

The best bunk bed for teens will be a good value and one that is able to grow with them. Select a style that can work well in traditional and modern rooms. Or, choose the Oeuf Perch Bunk Bed, an Editors' Choice for the Spruce. It can be split into two beds if needed. This design features a contemporary sleek, clean lines with boucle-upholstered guardrails, boucle upholstered railings and an easy-to-climb, stationary ladder. It's also Greenguard Gold and fair trade certified for its social and environmental responsibility.

A bunk bed that has built-in storage is a different option to save money. This could include drawers under the lower bed, or shelves below the top. This will allow you to keep your bedroom clean and clutter-free. It's also helpful for those with a smaller room. Many of the bunks listed on our list have this feature, and a few offer additional storage options like an bookcase headboard for the top bunk and a desk for the bottom.
