Bunk beds make a bedroom cool, fun and exciting regardless of whether siblings share the space or for one child inviting friends for sleepovers. But the biggest advantage is that they free up space. A conventional bunk bed can double (or triple) the amount sleeping space in a room and take up the same amount of floor space as an adult or twin bed.

Some bunk beds are stacked twin over twin, while others are arranged more creatively. For example, some feature a staircase that leads to the upper bed, while others are designed as an L-shaped unit that has two beds in close proximity to one another. This allows children to sleep in pairs, yet offers plenty of space for books, toys and other items which is ideal for smaller rooms.

Katie Siegel, the lead designer at Rumor Designs, says that when choosing a bunk bed that is suitable for children it is important to consider the size of your room. You should ensure that the dimensions of the bed correspond to the dimensions of your room, or else they may appear too bulky and unbalanced. Also, you should determine whether your ceilings are high enough to support an elevated mattress.

And lastly, think about how your children will get to and from their bunk beds. Certain models come with a standard ladder, while others have an alternative stairway that has deep steps for children to safely climb up and down. This is particularly important when older children are sleeping on the top bunk for themselves.

In addition to the standard twin-over-twin bunk beds, there are a few models that sleep three people. This is perfect for larger families or those who host frequent sleepovers.
