The 10 Best Bunk Beds For Maximum Flexibility

The fact that bunk beds are only for kids is nothing but a misconception. They’re actually a lot more versatile than that and they offer a series of major advantages over regular beds. First of all, they allow you to save/ free up a lot of floor space which is always great, especially in a small room. They can also be designed to include storage in the form of shelves or drawers and be combined with other furniture pieces such as desks or dressers. Quite a few models offer the option to disassemble the bunks and use them as standalone beds which offers even more flexibility. We should also mention that bunk beds are pretty fun and great for sleepovers or guest rooms.

Of course, it’s not all just fun and games as there are also a few disadvantages to consider before deciding to go with bunk beds instead of something else. Assuming you’re choosing these for the kids’ room, keep in mind that someone will have to sleep at height. With guard rails and solid frames, safety shouldn’t be a problem but the risks should still be assessed first. Also, access to the top bunk can be a problem, especially for little kids and toddlers.

Finally, consider the height of the ceiling. If the top bunk is too close to the ceiling some might feel claustrophobic. Keep this detail in mind and make sure to measure the space properly, especially if you decide to go with a triple bunk bed which by the way is also an option. You can identify all these details and more in the examples that follow below.
