The Best Bunk Beds for Kids, Tweens and Teens!
Bunk beds are a fun and space-saving style of kids’ bed suitable for use throughout their childhood.
This bed type is generally recommended for ages 6 and over, but there’s no upper limit. Some bunk beds are perfect for younger children, while others are more appropriate for tween or teenage kids.
If you’re looking for an age-appropriate bunk bed, take a look at our breakdown of the best bunk beds by age below. Here’s where you’ll find the perfect double-decker for your little darlings!
Best Bunk Beds for Kids
The Didi Shorty Bunk Bed is the ideal choice for younger children.
Didi is shorter than a standard bunk bed, taking mattresses of 175cm in length, as opposed to the standard UK 190cm. Its compact size is perfect for smaller bedrooms and smaller humans.
Another feature that makes it suited to littler little ones is the wide steps with cut-out handles, which help them climb into bed more easily.
The bed also has reversible white and grey panels, so you can change up the look as your kiddies grow and their tastes (inevitably!) change.
Our Hudson Bunk Bed is a great bunk bed for young children to share with older siblings.
The bottom bunk is at floor level, making it easily accessible for younger kids. Floor beds are an example of Montessori kid’s furniture, which encourages children to explore their surroundings and learn independently.
Meanwhile, older siblings can climb up the steps to the top bunk, where they can enjoy their own space away from their annoying younger brother or sister!
Parents will love the beautiful Scandi look of this Oliver Furniture Wood Mini+ Low Bunk Bed, which is perfect for a Nordic-style kid’s room.
The curved corners and built-in safety rails that are part of the style will help keep little ones safely in bed as they slumber.
The beds are also junior-sized, taking mattresses of 162cm long, making them perfect for young children and smaller bedrooms. For added flexibility, the beds can be separated into two junior beds with the optional conversion kit.
Best Bunk Beds for Tweens
For room-sharing pre-teens, we recommend the Explorer Treehouse Bunk Bed.
Thanks to the semi-enclosed treehouse cabin around the top bunk, complete with a peekaboo window, this is the ultimate fun bunk bed for tweens. They’ll love hanging out up top and getting cosy on sleepovers.
The simple white finish allows parents the opportunity to style it as they wish, with bedding, lighting and décor.
The Mathy By Bols Dominique Bunk Bed with Bookcase is another excellent choice for tweens.
The built-in tree bookcase on the corner is fun and practical for pre-teens who are starting to delve into longer novels. Keep all their favourite books close by, ready for a spot of night-time reading.
With 26 colours available, you can perfectly customise this bunk bed to suit your tweens’ preferences. It comes with a trundle drawer and you can separate the beds as kids get older. Tree-mendous!
Flexibility is one of the most important considerations when choosing a bunk bed for tweens – they’re changing so fast!
The Lily Bunk Bed has an optional house-shaped roof which adds a sense of fun for pre-teen kids but can be removed as they mature and outgrow a themed kid’s bed.
Choose to add a trundle drawer and another mattress to easily accommodate their friends on sleepovers. Alternatively, there are also optional storage drawers to help keep their room organised – a constant challenge in any kid’s bedroom, we’re sure you’ll agree!
Best Bunk Beds for Teens
Teenagers will love the simple Scandi aesthetic of the Grace Detachable Bunk Bed. The plain white style will allow them to put their own stamp on their room and look great against a statement dark or patterned wall.
This bed is highly affordable, and you can add optional storage drawers or a reversible trundle bed under the bottom bunk to help your teens get the most out of it.
The fact that the bunk beds are detachable means they can be split into two separate beds when your teens want their own space or when one of them (eventually!) moves out!
Another adjustable bunk bed that’s perfect for teenagers is the Leo L- Shaped Bunk Bed.
This bunk bed can be positioned as either a standard bunk bed with beds in parallel or in an L shape. They can also be separated into a high sleeper and single bed if your teens want to get away from each other.
There’s also plenty of built-in storage, including a cupboard, shelving, drawers and hanging space – so older kids will have somewhere to keep all their clothes and shoes tidy (we can hope!)
With a small double bed on the bottom, the Aviary Bunk Bed is ideal for teens who want a larger bed but still need to share a room with a younger sibling.
Each bed has built-in shelving running alongside it, perfect for younger children to keep their water bottles, toys and night lights easily accessible or for teens to keep their gadgets close to hand.
Meanwhile, the storage drawers with stylish faux leather handles underneath the bottom bed will allow teenagers to keep some of their possessions private from prying younger brothers and sisters!
