1. Harriet Bee Bunk bed with Slide
Solid bunk beds made of wood are the best choice when you're looking for a bed that will last. Fenton says that solid wood bunk beds are more durable and can be stained or painted to match the decor of your bedroom. Metal bunk beds are also available, and can be more affordable but are also more noisy and uncomfortable. Bunk beds should have a minimum of six inches above the mattress. The top bunk must also have a sturdy ladder. Fenton advises that if you have small children, an angled ladder is better than a straight ladder as it takes up less space and is easier to climb.
This bunk from Max & Lily fits two twin mattresses without eating up the floor space. It boasts plenty of features that parents will love, including an integrated bookcase, drawers that can be removed beneath the bottom bunk and a trundle for sleepovers.

Bunk beds can be expensive--especially ones with a slide, which can run more than $1,000. This is why it's crucial to look at different options before purchasing a bed, says Laura Fenton, author of The Bunk Bed Book: 115 Designs for Twins, Triplets, and More.
She suggests looking for a bunk that has solid construction, as this will ensure the bunk will last years of usage and abuse. She also suggests you look at the material. It should be made from durable, environmentally friendly wood or a strong composite. The majority of bunks in our roundup were made of either material, and many are Greenguard Gold certified, meaning they meet or exceed air quality standards established by the Environmental Protection Agency.
The final thing to think about is the ladder, which is straight or angled, and should be placed on the left or right side of the long end of the bed, depending on room size and layout. Ladders that are angled require more space to climb, but are more secure than straight ladders that can be more difficult to fall off of, Fenton says. Some of the bunks we reviewed in our review have stairs that are easy to climb but take up more floor space, which may be an alternative if your child is older and requires additional support to get into bed.
Many of our picks can be made into two separate beds to allow your child to use the bunk as they grow. For example, the Oeuf Perch bunk, a favorite of Fenton and writer (and mom of two) Alex Morris, can be separated into a loft bed and a standard twin bed so that it won't feel "baby" as your child enters the teen years.
