How to Choose the Best Bunk Beds for Teens

Loft beds and bunk beds can be a great way to add fun and function in the room for kids. They can also help to save space.

Look for bunk beds that are able to be moved like those with bottom storage drawers or a trundle that is easily removed. You can also find stacked twins which can be separated to make two beds. Also, consider the weight capacity of the top bunk.

Size

When selecting a bunk bed for your children you should consider size, style and safety. Examine the height of the ceiling to ensure that the bunks can fit in the space. Also, make sure that there is enough space around the bunks to allow children to move around. The beds should be set far enough apart so that children can safely get up and down without having to collide with one another or the walls. It is also important to determine if the top bunk bed can be able to support a mattress of similar to the size of the bottom. This will allow you to avoid the need for an additional bed or trundle in the near future.

You can also choose a bunk design that is not traditional and suited to your space better. An L-shaped bunk bed can be the perfect choice for a small room or a guest room that is shared by two people. It can save floor space, and accommodate a twin-over-full or queen-sized mattress on both the upper and lower levels, based on the model you pick.

Many of the best bunk beds for teens can grow with your kids, converting into two free-standing beds when it's time for them to move to a normal double bed. For example, the Storkcraft Solid Wood Ladder Twin Bunk Bed has an elegant farmhouse-inspired design with curving headboards and wagon-themed guardrails on the top bunk. It's constructed of knot-free New Zealand Pine and has an inbuilt, stationary ladder that connects the lower and upper bunk beds. This leaves more space for kids to play.

A loft bed is an alternative option that maximizes the corner space in rooms with tweens. It's great for small spaces because it takes up less vertical space and lets you make use of the lower levels for desks, storage cabinets or dressers. It's also a great option for older children because it doesn't require them to use stairs or a ladder and makes it more accessible to larger children and adults.

Before you buy any kind of bunk bed, try it out in your kids bedroom using blue painter's tape to see how high it will be off the ground. This will give you an idea of whether it could be easily climbed in and out of at night, without causing any damage to heads or the bottom of the window sill or hanging curtains. Finally, you'll want to ensure your family's safety is on your mind by reading the Consumer Product Safety Commission's guidelines for bunk beds. These regulations establish standards for guardrails and other features to prevent the chance of entrapment and falls.

Safety

Bunk beds are a great choice for families with children of all ages, but it's important to consider the safety features when shopping. You'll need to choose a bunk bed with guardrails that are tall enough to prevent children from falling or becoming trapped, and a mattress which does not elevate the sleeping surface too much. Pay attention to the weight limit of the bunk bed. Some have smaller weight limits than others.

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

The best rated bunk beds bunk beds are sturdily constructed and the ladder or stairs should be attached to the frame securely and have side handles for security. Avoid bunk beds with slatted sides panels, as they are dangerous for children to climb on, especially if they're poorly connected. If your kids love to play on the ground, choose a low-slung bunk that lets them sit and play without having to be too far off the floor.

If you have a limited space or do not want to take up the entire space of your child's bedroom, go with an L-shaped bunk bed. These take up less floor space and are typically only the same size as a single bed, which is why they're perfect for smaller rooms with low ceilings. These are also more suitable for younger children who may be scared of high bunk beds.

If you have more space, you can opt for an over-full or full-over-full bunk bed. These are usually the most secure and stylish bunk beds that are available, and they can be used as twin or full size beds. Pottery Barn Kids' Belden bunk bed is an attractive and sturdy option that will grow with your child's development as they grow. It can even accommodate Trundle beds (sold separately) to accommodate adults and older teens. It's Greenguard Gold certified, meaning it releases low levels of chemicals. It's made of sustainably harvested Baltic Birch wood and comes in a range of colors.

Style

It's for an entire room or just one child, the perfect bunk bed can give teenagers something to be enthusiastic about. Some designs are sleek and minimalist, while others feature more playful elements. Bunk beds are also available in a variety of sizes, ranging from twin over twin to full-over-full or even queen. A twin-over-full design is popular for tweens because it lets them sleep two children in the same room and still leaves space for a desk, dresser or storage drawers in the lower level. Some designs come with a an trundle bed that can be used on the upper level to accommodate an extra mattress.

Tweens also love the twin over king loft bed that takes up less floor space and provides them with more room to stretch out or work from home, says Fenton. A metal bunk bed with a full-length guardrail is a popular option for older kids because it's "built to last and is the most durable, grown-up bunk," she adds.

Take a look at a T-shaped or L-shaped design, which is basically an elevated platform bed. The beds feature a ladder at the end, which gives an elegant look and gives more space for a desk or dresser underneath. They aren't as space-saving as a bunk bed, but they give teens more room in their rooms.

Think about a futon bunk bed If you're looking for a bunk bed that is affordable and offers safety and comfort. Futons are lightweight and adaptable which means you can move them around if your kids want to redecorate their rooms in the near future. However they're not as strong as a metal or wood bunk bed and do not have guardrails for the top bed.

Bunks with ladders or stairs are also available. Ladders take up less space and can be more convenient to climb. Stairs are safer and double as a seat for younger children. Some models are even able to convert into a desk and chair and allow your child to have the ultimate bedroom suite to study or play.

Budget

A bunk bed is a major purchase, so it's essential to consider your budget when buying. Although there are plenty of inexpensive options out there but if you're planning on purchasing a bunk bed that is designed to last until the teens (or even adulthood), it may be worth paying more for a high-quality design that will be used for a long time.

Before you shop, consider who will be using the bunk bed and what their sleeping needs could be. A twin-overtwin arrangement is ideal for siblings sharing the same bedroom, whereas a full over full bunk is ideal for adults looking to reduce space or the cost of a separate queen mattress. You'll also need to decide how much headroom you want between the bunks at the top and bottom. If kids are still sleeping in toddler beds, for example it may be better to choose a lower-to-ground arrangement.

The ideal childrens bunk beds bed for teens is a good value and one that is able to adapt to their needs. Select a style that can fit in both traditional and modern rooms. Or, choose the Oeuf Perch Bunk Bed, an Editors' Choice for the Spruce. It can be divided into two twin beds if needed. This style has a sleek, modern design, boucle-upholstered railings and a ladder that's easy for kids to climb up and down, and it's Greenguard Gold and Fair Trade certified for social and environmental responsibility.

A bunk bed with built-in storage is a different option to save money. It could be drawers underneath the bed, or shelves beneath the top. This will help you to keep your bedroom neat and clutter-free. It's also useful in the case of a small space. A majority of the bunks on our list have this feature. Some come with additional storage accessories like headboards for a bookcase or desk for the lower bunk.
