Bunk beds can make a bedroom fun, exciting and cool. They are ideal for kids sharing rooms with siblings or for one child who invites friends to an overnight sleepover. The main benefit is that they free up space. A bunk bed that is standard doubles (or triples) the amount of sleeping space that a room can provide and leaves the same footprint for floor space as a single twin or full-sized mattress.

Some bunk beds are stacked twin over twin and others are set up more imaginatively. Some bunk beds have a staircase leading to the upper bed while others are set up in an L-shaped unit with two beds that are close to each one. This allows children to sleep together, yet leaves plenty of space for toys, bookcases, and other things.

Katie Siegel, the lead designer at Rumor Designs, says that when selecting a bunk bed for children take into consideration the size of your room. It is important to ensure that the dimensions of the bunk bed meet the dimensions of your room, or they could look bulky and out of balance. It is also important to determine if your ceilings are tall enough to support an elevated mattress.

Last but not least, think about how your kids will get to and from their bunk beds. Some models have a standard ladder, while others have an optional stairs that have large steps that allow children to safely climb up and down. This is especially important when you intend to let older children use the top bunk on their own.
