I almost bought bunk beds when the Twins were moving from cribs, but my head span and I went for separates. When choosing beds for a shared room there are practical issues to tackle! Have you honed in on what you want from your perfect bunk bed? Some questions to ask yourself:
- Do you need extra storage?
- How many people may come to stay?
- Do you want the flexibility to separate the beds?
- Are you worried about the height of the top bunk?
- Splurge or save?
Bunk Beds That Look Great When Split

I love the box steps to the end of this bunk… they will be much easier to climb than a ladder. The storage under the bed and in the steps makes it a pretty substantial piece of furniture and it’s super stylish too!

My boys sleep in Zinus twin beds from Amazon and although they are cheap, they are stylish, simple to put together
Storkcraft Caribou Harwood Bunk Bed
For an absolute steal, you can’t get much better than the Caribou bunk beds. They unstack and still look good, they get plenty of great reviews on Amazon and come in a range of colors. The gray is definitely my favorite, and for less than $200 your wallet can breathe a sigh of relief.
Low Level Bunk Beds for Little Ones
Because I moved the Twins into beds just before their second birthday, I was worried about falling. Even when those little ones are older, it’s quite the fall to come off the top bunk. If you think Mom won’t sleep while thinking about it, a lower level bunk bed may be for you!
Max & Lily Low Bunk Bed
The top of the ladder is only 33″ from the floor and it’s quite adorable! We may be moving soon and if the Boys end up in a smaller room, this is a strong contender. Classic natural wood will go with any gender and any styling. Love it!
Twin Ladder Low Bunk Bed
Super cute bunk bed set up and perfect for the
