Involving your kids in the process will help them feel ownership of the bed, and make sure you know what functions you have in mind for the bed. Making the beds more versatile by adding storage and study areas is how they appeal to more audiences, bottom line – there are a lot of things the bed can do for the room.

Make sure you review the space you intend to put the bed in as an oversized or undersized bed will make the room less than functional for the child. You don’t want to be in the store with your kids begging you for a specific kind of bed before you realize the bed is out of your budget, so give some thought to what that might be before you head out.

There are a lot of different types and styles in the bunk bed world, so make sure you know what you are looking for before you head out, here they are;

Basic Bunk Beds

A basic bunk bed – this is the bed on bottom bed directly over the top both in the same direction bed. Most of the time these beds come with twin size mattresses.  Of course these are not considered adjustable beds even though they typically come up in searches because they can be adjusted.  Of course you can purchase something like an adjustable air bed to put into the bunk should you need it.

Futon Bunk Bed

Futons as a Bunk Bed – This is the couch style futon on the bottom with the twin on top. These can be great because they serve two functions, first as a bed, but then also the bottom is usually a couch that adds more seating space.  Oddly enough these are considered adjustable beds now because by definition they are adjustable in the sleeping function they provide.

The L Shape

The L shaped bunk – this one is designed to add a little more space to the room by pointing the ends of the beds in different directions allowing a little cove under the top bed. These can have their dangers as I personally fell from the top through and hit my head on a bedside table by sister had set up.

The Loft Bunk

The Loft Study Bunk – Simply put the bed has a desk built in at either the head or the foot of the bed. The solution this bed provides is to save more space, the problem is that because the desk is at the end of the bed, the room requires an unusually long length.
