How to Choose the Best Bunk Beds for Teens
|
||||
|
||||
Loft beds and bunk beds can add fun and functionality to rooms for kids. They can also help to save space.
|
||||
|
||||
Find bunks designed to be flexible, such as drawers that store items in the bottom and a trundle bed that's easy to take down and stacked twins that can be divided into two beds. Also consider the capacity for weight of the top bunk.
|
||||
|
||||
Size
|
||||
|
||||
When selecting a bunk bed for your children, you'll want to consider the size, style and security. Consider the height of the ceiling to ensure the bunks fit in your space. Also, make sure there's enough space for children to move around them. The beds should be placed far enough apart so that kids can safely move up and down and not hit one another or the walls. Additionally, you should determine whether the top bunk is able to support a mattress similar to the bottom one so you won't need for a trundle, or an extra bed in the near future.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also choose a bunk shape that isn't traditional, if it suits your space better. For example an L-shaped bunk could be ideal for a smaller bedroom or even a guest room that is shared. It is a great way to save the floor space and can fit a twin over full or queen mattress on the lower and upper levels, based on the model you choose.
|
||||
|
||||
A lot of the top bunk beds for teens will be adapted to your children's needs and can be converted into two separate beds when it's time to transition to a regular double bed. For instance, the Storkcraft Solid Wood Ladder Twin Bunk Bed is an elegant farmhouse-inspired design with curved headboards and wagon-inspired guardrails on the top bunk. It's constructed of knot-free New Zealand Pine and has an integrated, stationary ladder that connects the upper and lower bunk beds. This creates more space for children to play.
|
||||
|
||||
A loft bed is another option that maximizes the corner space in tween-rooms. It's an excellent option for smaller spaces as it doesn't take up as much vertical room and allows the lower levels to be used as a desk, dressers or storage cabinets. It's a great option for older children because it doesn't require stairs or ladders which makes it more accessible to larger children and adults.
|
||||
|
||||
Check the height of any bunk bed in your child's bedroom by using blue painter's tape. This will give you a feel of whether it is easily climbed in and out 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 checking out the Consumer Product Safety Commission's guidelines for bunk beds. They set standards for guardrails and other features that reduce the chance of entrapment and falls.

|
||||
Safety
|
||||
|
||||
Bunk beds are a great option for families with kids of all ages, however, it's important to take into consideration the safety features when shopping. You'll need to choose bunk beds with guardrails that are high enough to stop children from falling off or becoming trapped, and a mattress which does not elevate the sleeping surface excessively. Also, pay attention to the weight capacity, as certain bunks have a lower limit than others.
|
||||
|
||||
Check the manufacturer's website to see what specifications are available on mattress dimensions and weight limits. The majority of manufacturers will offer guidelines on the maximum thickness of the top bunk mattress. They'll also give the maximum weight capacity of the upper bunk bed and the bunk.
|
||||
|
||||
The ideal bunk beds will be sturdy and feature stairs or ladders that is securely attached to the frame, and has handles on the sides. Avoid bunk beds that have slatted side panels, as they are dangerous for children to climb, especially if they're not tightly fitted together. If your children love playing on the ground, go for a bunk with a low-slung bottom to let them play and sit without being too high off the ground.
|
||||
|
||||
Consider an L-shaped bed if don't have a lot of space in your child's room or if you don't want it taking up much space. They take up less space and are usually only larger than a single bed. This makes them suitable for rooms with narrow ceilings. They're also more suitable for kids who might be scared of the higher bunk.
|
||||
|
||||
If you're looking for a little more space, an overfull or full-overfull bunk is the best option. They are generally the most secure and stylish bunk beds that are available and can be used as full or twin size beds. Pottery Barn Kids' Belden bunk bed is an elegant and sturdy choice that can grow with your child as they grow. It can also accommodate Trundle beds (sold separately) to accommodate older teens and adults. It's Greenguard Gold certified for low chemical emissions. It's made of sustainably-sourced Baltic Birch wood, and it comes in multiple color options.

|
||||
Style
|
||||
|
||||
It's for the shared room or one kid, the right bunk bed will give teens something to be enthusiastic about. Some designs are sleek and minimalistic while others have more playful elements. Bunk beds come in different sizes, ranging from twin-over-twin to full-over-full or even queen. A twin-over-full design is popular with teens since it allows them to sleep two kids in the same room and still leave room for a desk, dresser or storage drawers at the lower level. Some options come with Trundle beds that allow the upper level to fit an additional mattress.
|
||||
|
||||
Teens also adore the twin over king loft bed that takes up less floor space and provides them with more space to sprawl out or work from home, says Fenton. Metal bunk beds with full-length guardrails are another popular choice for older kids because they're "built to last and are the most durable, adult-sized bunk," Fenton adds.
|
||||
|
||||
For a truly cool bunk, consider a T-shaped or l-shaped design that's basically a platform bed elevated. They have a ladder on the end that gives an elegant look and makes room for a dresser or desk under. They're not as efficient at conserving space like a traditional bunk but they're an attractive option for teenagers that offers more space in their rooms.
|
||||
|
||||
You should consider a futon bunk if you're looking for a bunk bed that is affordable and provides safety and comfort. Futons are small and flexible and can be moved them around if your children are looking to revamp their rooms in the future. They're not as durable as wood or metal bunk beds and the top one does not have guardrails.
|
||||
|
||||
Bunks that have ladders or stairs are also available. Ladders are more efficient and less space-consuming to climb. Stairs on the other hand, can be used as a seating area by children who are younger. Some models can be transformed into a chair or desk to allow your child to have the ultimate bedroom set-up for study and play.
|
||||
|
||||
Budget
|
||||
|
||||
When you're looking for a bunk bed, it's important to consider your budget. Although there are plenty of cheap options available but if you're planning on buying a bunk bed that will last through the teens (or even adulthood) it might be worth paying a bit more for a high-quality design that can be used for many years to come.
|
||||
|
||||
Consider who will use the bunk bed and what their sleeping needs might be prior to shopping. A twin-over-twin configuration is great for siblings who share bedrooms, while a full over full bunk is perfect for adults who are looking to save space or avoid the cost of a separate queen-sized mattress. You'll also have to decide how much headroom you want between the top and bottom bunks--if kids are still sleeping in toddler beds, for instance it may be better to choose a lower-to-ground configuration.

Choose a design that can work in traditional and modern rooms, or choose something like the Oeuf Perch bunk--an Editors' Choice option for the Spruce. It can be divided into two freestanding twin beds should you need to reconfigure your space in the future. This style has a sleek, modern design, boucle-upholstered railings, and a stationary ladder that's easy for children to climb and down and down.

A bunk bed with built-in storage is another option to save money. This could include drawers underneath the bed, or shelves underneath the top. This can help you keep the bedroom clutter-free, and is particularly useful when you have smaller space. Many of the bunks on our list offer this feature, and a few have additional storage accessories available like a bookcase headboard for the upper bunk and a desk for the bottom.
