Top Picks For the Best Kids Bunkbeds Bunk beds are an excellent option for maximizing space in children's rooms as well as creating a fun shared bedroom. We've picked our top choices of the top bunk beds for kids. They are all attractive inexpensive, durable, and affordable. A lot of our choices feature an angled ladder, which takes up less room than straight ladders, but are still a breeze for children to scale, says Fenton. Other options include stairs that require more space but are safer than ladders to climb. 1. Crate & Kids Babyletto TipToe White & Washed Natural Wood Kids Bunk Bed In contrast to many bunk beds, this one's bottom bunk sits on the floor, making it the perfect choice for toddlers or younger children who might not feel comfortable climbing to the top. It also means that the ladder is located on the side, which makes it easier for kids to navigate (and less daunting for parents and their children reading books at bedtime or changing sheets). The entire set is made using sustainably-sourced Baltic birch wood that's Greenguard Gold and TSCA-compliant. The Crate & Kids Babyletto TipToe bunk bed is a stylish wooden bunk bed that is suitable for either girls or boys. The white and natural finish is versatile and blends well with a variety of decor styles. Parents appreciate the fact that it's finished with a durable varnish. It's perfect for a room that is shared and can be divided into two beds once your kids reach the teenage years. Bunk beds are not just for securing space. They can also enhance the design of a room, make fun play spaces and encourage sleepovers with friends. And with so many cool bunk bed designs for teenagers and children it's simple to find a bed that will meet your family's specific requirements. Consider a bunk bed with slides if you're looking for an exciting alternative to the classic design. The addition of a sliding bed makes it much more enjoyable to climb and descend and it's more secure than a ladder since it's lower and your child won't be going backwards as they climb. It's also a great way to make a bunk bed more enjoyable for older children and teens, or to allow siblings to share a room at the beach. 2. South Shore Tuffing Twin Over Twin Metal Bunk Bed with Slide There are a lot of metal bunk beds available on the market, and many of them offer an attractive design and affordable prices. Only a handful of bunk beds made from metal can be as good as this South Shore option, which includes a trundle below the twin bed at the bottom, which can accommodate three guests for sleepovers (if the trundle is removed, the bunks are two single beds). Plus, the ladder is angled so kids can easily climb it in and out. You can choose an L-shaped layout, based on the size of your bedroom as well as how often you plan to use the bunks. This is the layout shown in the bedroom designed by Bailey McCarthy. This design can reduce space by allowing two bunks to be closer to each other. This is ideal for rooms with low ceilings or smaller space. It's also easier to get into because there are two ladders instead of one slanted ladder that can be difficult for children of smaller ages to climb up. Another consideration for choosing the right bunk bed is its height, which could be an element in determining the likelihood that your children will be comfortable sleeping high. This is why it's important to consider the height of your children and the height of your ceilings before you make an investment. You could be influenced by differences between metal and wood bunk beds, and the type of mattress you select. Kuo says that wooden bunk beds are usually better because they have a timeless, natural appearance and can withstand frequent use. But “the most important thing is to select a bunk bed that is compliant with the standards of the industry and is secure for your children,” she adds. 3.
