Bunk beds can make bedrooms fun, exciting and stylish. They are great for children who share a room with siblings or for a single child who invites friends to an overnight sleepover. The most significant benefit is that they can save space. A regular bunk bed can double (or triple) the amount of sleeping space in a room, while taking up the same amount of floor space as an adult or twin bed.

Some bunk beds are stacked twin-over-twin with others arranged more imaginatively. Some bunk beds feature stairs leading to the upper bed while others are laid out in an L-shaped arrangement with two beds next to each other.

Katie Siegel, the lead designer at Rumor Designs, says that when you are choosing a bunk bed that is suitable for children take into consideration the size of their room. You’ll need to ensure that the dimensions of the bed are in line with the dimensions of your room or they could appear too bulky and out of balance. You’ll also want to check if your ceilings are tall enough to accommodate a lofted mattress.

Also, think about the method your children use to get up and down their bunks. Some models have an ordinary ladder, whereas others offer an optional stairs with deep steps that are easy for kids to climb up and down safely. This is particularly important when older children are sleeping on the top bunk for themselves.
