How to Choose the Best Bunk Beds for Teens

Loft and bunk beds can be a great way to add fun and function in the children's room. They can also help reduce space.

Look for bunks that are designed with flexibility, like drawers that store items in the bottom and a trundle bed that's easy to remove, and twin beds that can be separated into two separate beds. Also, think about the weight of the top bunk.

Size

You should consider size, style, and safety when selecting a bunk bed for your children. Check the ceiling's height to make sure the bunks can fit in the space. Also, make sure that there is enough space around the bunks to allow the kids to move. The beds should be spaced sufficiently apart that children can safely get up and down without having to crash into one another or the walls. Also, you'll want to determine if the top bunk can support a mattress of the same size as the bottom one, so that you can avoid the need for a trundle, or an extra bed in the near future.

You may also opt for an alternative to the traditional bunk shape, which may be better suited to your space. An L-shaped bunk bed can be perfect for a small room or a guest room shared by two people. It saves the floor space and can fit a twin over full or queen mattress on both the lower and upper levels, depending on which model you select.

Many of the best bunk beds for kids beds for teens will expand 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 is an elegant farmhouse-inspired design with the curved headboards and the wagon-themed guardrails that run along the top bunk. It's made from knot-free New Zealand pine and has an attached ladder that connects the bottom and top beds, leaving more floor space for kids to play on.

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

Before you purchase any type of bunk bed, test it out in your child's' bedroom with blue painter's tape to determine how high it will be off the ground. This will give you a feel of whether it is easily climbed into and out of at night without causing any damage to heads or the bottom of the window sill or hanging curtains. In addition, you should keep your family's safety in mind by reading the Consumer Product Safety Commission's regulations for bunk beds, which establish standards for guardrails and other features that prevent the risk of falling and entrapment.

Safety

Bunk beds are an excellent option for families with kids of all ages, however, it is important to think about safety features when shopping. You'll need to choose bunk beds with railings that are high enough to prevent children from falling over or getting trapped, and a mattress which does not elevate the mattress excessively. Pay attention to the weight limit of the bunk bed. Some beds have a lower weight limit than others.

When selecting a bunk bed, check the website of the manufacturer to find specifications regarding the mattress's dimensions and weight limits. Most manufacturers provide guidelines on how thick a top bunk mattress should be, and will typically list the total bunk and upper bed weight capacities.

The best bunk beds are sturdily constructed, and the ladder or stairs should attach to the frame securely and be equipped with side handles for safety. Avoid bunks with slatted sides as they could be dangerous for children to climb up and down, particularly if the slats aren't tightly joined. If your children like to play on the ground, select a low-slung bunk that allows them to play and sit without being too far off the floor.

Consider an L-shaped bed if you don't have a lot of space in your child's bedroom or if you don't want it to take up much space. They take up less space and are generally larger than a single bed. This makes them suitable for small rooms with low ceilings. They are also suitable for children of smaller age who might be intimidated by higher bunks.

If you require a little more space, an overfull or full-overfull bunk is the best rated bunk beds option. These are the most fashionable and secure bunk beds that are available. They can be used for full-size or twin-sized beds. Pottery Barn Kids' Belden bunk bed is an attractive and sturdy option that grows with your child's growth. It can also accommodate trundle beds (sold separately) to accommodate adults and older teens. It's Greenguard Gold certified for low chemical emissions. It's also made from sustainably sourced Baltic Birch wood, and it comes in multiple color options.

Style

The right bunk bed can make teens happy, whether it's in the shared bedroom or for just one child. A lot of designs are minimalist and sleek, while others feature more playful elements. Bunk beds come in different sizes, ranging from twin over twin to full-over-full, and even queen. The twin-overfull design is popular among teens, as it allows the possibility of sleeping two children in the same space while leaving room for a desk, dresser, or drawers for storage in the lower part. Certain designs have trundle beds which allow the upper level to accommodate an extra mattress for sleepovers.

Teens also adore an over-king twin loft bed, which takes up less floor space and provides them with more space to spread out or work from home, according to Fenton. Metal bunk beds with full-length guardrails make a popular option for older children because they're "built to last and it's the most durable, adult-sized bunk," Fenton adds.

If you want a cool bunk, you should consider an l-shaped or T-shaped design that's basically an elevated platform bed. These beds are constructed with a ladder at the end. This gives them a sleeker look and more room for a desk or dresser. They're not as efficient at saving space as a traditional bunk, however, they're a stylish choice for teenagers that offers more space to move around in their rooms.

If you're looking to find a more affordable bunk that will still provide plenty of safety and comfort, consider a futon bunk. Futons are compact and portable and can be moved around in case you're planning to redesign your child's room in the near future. They're not as durable as wood or metal bunk beds and the top one does not have guardrails.

Bunks with ladders or stairs are also available. Ladders take up less space and are easier to climb, whereas stairs are safer and can double as a seating area for younger children. Some models can be transformed into a desk or chair to allow your child to have the ultimate bedroom set that can be used for study and play.

Budget

A bunk bed is a major investment, so it's important to consider your budget when shopping. There are plenty of options for cheap beds available, but if need a bed that will last into the teens and even into adulthood, it's worth paying more for a high-quality product that can be used for years.

Before you shop take into consideration who will be sleeping in the bunk bed and what their sleep needs might be. For example, a twin-over-twin arrangement is ideal for families with multiple children and a full-over-full bunk is ideal for adults looking to save space and avoid the cost of purchasing an additional queen or king-sized mattress. You'll need to determine the amount of headroom between the top and the bottom bunk. If your children are still in toddler beds, you might want to select a layout that is lower to the ground.

The best bunk bed for teens will be an affordable option and one that is able to adapt to their needs. Look for a style that is suitable for both modern and traditional rooms, or opt for something similar to the Oeuf Perch bunk--an Editors' Choice choice for the Spruce, which can be split into two separate twin beds if you're looking to alter your space in the future. This design has a clean-lined contemporary silhouette, boucle-upholstered guardrails and a stationary ladder that's simple for children to climb up and down and down, and it's Greenguard Gold and Fair Trade certified for environmental and social responsibility.

A bunk bed with built-in storage is a different way to save money. This can include drawers beneath the bed, or shelves below the top. This will help you keep your bedroom tidy and free of clutter. It's also helpful for those with a smaller room. Many of the bunks on our list have this option, and a few offer additional storage options like a bookcase headboard for the upper bunk, and a desk for the bottom.
