How to Choose the best bunk bed Bunk Beds for Teens

Loft and bunk beds can add fun and functionality in the kids' room. They can also help save space.

Find bunk beds that are able to be moved, such as ones with drawers on the bottom or a trundle that is easy to remove. You can also find twins that are stacked, which can be separated to create two beds. Also, consider the weight of the top bunk.

Size

You'll need to take into consideration the dimensions, style, and safety when selecting a bunk bed for your children. Consider the height of the ceiling to make sure the bunks are able to fit into your space. Make sure there's enough space for children to move around them. The beds should be spaced apart enough that children can safely get up and down without having to crash into one another or the walls. Also, you should determine whether the top bunk can support a mattress similar to that of the lower one. This will allow you to avoid needing an extra bed or trundle in the future.

You can also pick a bunk design that isn't conventional or asymmetrical, if it fits your space better. An L-shaped bunk bed could be the perfect choice for small spaces or an area that is shared by two people. It saves the floor space and can also accommodate a queen or twin over full mattress on each of the upper and lower levels, based on the model you pick.

Many of the best bunk beds for teens can expand with your kids by converting into two independent beds when it's the right time to transition to a regular double bed. Storkcraft Solid Wood Ladder Twin Bunk Bed for instance is the classic farmhouse look with curving headboards. It also features wagon-style guardrails on the top bunk. It's made of knot-free New Zealand Pine and has a built-in, stationary ladder that connects the upper and lower bunk beds. This gives more room for children to play.

Another option is a loft bed, that maximizes corner spaces in tween rooms. It's an excellent option for smaller spaces as it doesn't take up as much vertical room and also allows the lower level to be used for desks, dressers or storage cabinets. It's an excellent choice for older children as it doesn't require a ladder or stairway which makes it more accessible to larger children and adults.

Before you buy any kind of bunk bed, try it out in your child's bedroom using blue painter's adhesive to see how high it will rise above the ground. This will give you a sense of whether it can be easily climbed in and out of at night, without bumping heads or hitting the bottom of the window sill or hanging curtains. It is also important to consider the safety of your family by examining the Consumer Product Safety Commission regulations for bunk beds. These regulations include guardrails and features to protect against falls and entrapment.

Safety

Bunk beds are a great choice for families with children of all age groups. However, it's crucial to consider the safety features before buying. You should look for beds with rails that are high enough to stop kids from falling off or becoming trapped, and a mattress that doesn't elevate the sleep surface too high. You should also pay attention to the weight capacity, since certain bunks have a lower limit than others.

When choosing a bunk bed, make sure to check its manufacturer's website for specifications regarding the mattress's dimensions and weight limits. Most manufacturers provide guidelines on how thick a top bunk mattress should be, and will often list the total capacity of the bunk and upper bed weight capacities.

The best bunk beds are sturdily constructed and the ladder or stairs must be attached to the frame securely and have side handles for safety. You should also avoid any bunks that have slatted sides as they can be dangerous for kids bunk beds to climb up and down, especially if the slats aren't tightly connected. If your kids bunk bed love playing on the ground, you should opt for a bunk with a low-slung bottom to allow them to sit up and play without being too high off the ground.

If you're limited in space or don't want to take up the entire space of your kid's bedroom, choose an L-shaped bunk bed. They take up less space and are typically only larger than a single bed. This makes them perfect for rooms with narrow ceilings. They're also suitable for younger children who might be intimidated by higher bunks.

If you require a little more space, the full-overfull bunk bed is the best choice. These are the most stylish and safe bunk beds available. They can be used for full-size or twin-sized beds. Pottery Barn Kids' Belden bunk bed is a stylish and sturdy option that grows with your child's development as they grow. It can also accommodate Trundle beds (sold separately) to accommodate adults and older teens. It's Greenguard Gold certified for low chemical emissions and is made from sustainably sourced Baltic birch wood, and it is available in a variety of color options.

Style

Whether it's for a shared room or just one child, the perfect bunk bed will give teens something to be excited about. A lot of designs are minimalist and sleek and some have more fun elements. Bunk beds also come in different sizes, ranging from twin-over-twin to full-over-full or even queen. The twin-over-full design is popular with tweens, as it allows them to sleep two children in the same space while leaving enough space for a desk dresser or storage drawers at the bottom. Some options have Trundle beds that permit the upper floor to accommodate an additional mattress for sleepovers.

Fenton says that teens love a twin-over-king loft bed because it takes up less space and provides them with more room to spread out or work at home. Metal bunk beds with full-length guardrails make a popular choice for older kids because they're "built to last and it's the strongest, grown-up bunk," Fenton adds.

For a truly cool bunk, you should consider an T-shaped or l-shaped design that's essentially an elevated platform bed. They're designed with a ladder at the end. This provides a more modern look and more space for a dresser or desk. They aren't as space-saving as bunk beds, but they provide teens with more space in their rooms.

If you're looking for a more affordable bed that will provide plenty of safety and comfort, consider a futon bunk. Futons are compact and portable which means they can be moved around when you want to redecorate your child's room in the near future. They're not as sturdy as metal or wood bunk beds, and the top bed isn't equipped with guardrails.

Bunks with ladders or stairs are also available. Ladders require less space and can be more convenient to climb, whereas stairs are safer and double as a seating area for younger kids. Some models can be transformed into a desk or chair to let your child have the ultimate bedroom set for both study and play.

Budget

When shopping for a bunk bed, it's important to consider your budget. There are many inexpensive options available, but if need a bed that will last into the teens and even into adulthood, you should consider spending more for a high-quality product that can be used for years.

Consider who will use the bunk bed and what their sleep needs may be before you start shopping. For instance, a twin-over-twin configuration is great for siblings sharing a room, while a full-over-full bunk is perfect for adults looking to save space and avoid the cost of buying a separate queen or king-sized mattress. You'll have to decide on the amount of headroom between the top bunk and bottom bunk. If your children are still in their toddler beds, you may want to choose a bed that is lower to the ground.

The most suitable bunk beds for teens are ones which are priced at a reasonable price and can adapt to the teen. Look for a style that works in traditional and modern rooms, or choose something like the Oeuf Perch bunk--an Editors' Choice choice for the Spruce, which can be divided into two freestanding twin beds should you want to change the layout of your space in the future. This design has a modern, clean-lined silhouette with boucle-upholstered guardrails, boucle upholstered railings and a sturdy, easy-to-climb ladder. It is also Greenguard Gold and fair trade certified for its environmental and social responsibility.

Another option to save money is to choose a bunk that has built-in storage options, like drawers underneath the lower bed or shelves below the top. This will allow you to keep your bedroom clean and free of clutter. It's also helpful in the case of a small room. Many of the bunks on our list feature this feature. Some come with additional storage options, such as headboards for a bookcase or desk for the lower bunk.
