Bunk beds can be expensive--especially ones with a slide, which can run more than $1,000. This is why it's crucial to compare options before making a purchase, says Laura Fenton, author of The Bunk Bed Book: A Collection of 115 designs for Twins, Triplets, and More.
She recommends looking for a solid construction, which ensures the bunk will last through many years of use and abuse. She also suggests looking at the material, which should be made from durable and eco-friendly wood or a sturdy composite. The majority of bunks in our roundup are constructed from either material, and many are Greenguard Gold certified, meaning they meet or exceed air quality standards established by the Environmental Protection Agency.
The ladder is the last aspect to consider. It can be straight or inclined and should be put on the left or right side of the bed depending on the dimensions and arrangement of the room. Ladders that are angled require more real estate to climb but are safer than straight ladders, which could be more easy to fall off of, Fenton says. Some of the bunks we looked at have stairs that are easy to use, but require more space. This may be a good option if you have a young child who requires extra help to get in the bed.
Almost all of our picks convert into two separate beds and the bunk can serve your child as they develop.
