Many of our favorite bunk beds for kids can be made into two separate beds. This can extend the life of your investment, and allows one or both children to be able to sleep as they're at their best.

Bunk beds are a great way to maximize space in the room of your child while giving siblings the chance to sleep together without sharing a mattress. There are many bunk bed designs available with their own unique benefits and features. Bunk beds are typically made from wood or metal, and come with a strong frame that supports two or more beds. They may also be outfitted with additional elements, such as drawers or trundle beds that permit the lower bed to function as a sofa during the day and grow into a second sleeping surface at night.
The most common kind of bunk bed for kids consists of twin beds placed on top of each other. This arrangement is ideal for kids who have outgrown their cribs, but aren't ready to upgrade to full-size beds. Some bunk beds feature an extra twin mattress which can be tucked into the bottom bunk for extra sleeping space when needed. A few bunk beds have an ottoman at the bottom, which can be used as a couch during the day and pulled out to become a bed at night.
For children on the smaller side, opt for a low bunk that is more in line with the ground. This type of bunk bed is suitable for rooms with lower ceilings and provides a safer sleeping environment for infants. Many low bunks come with broad and flat ladder rungs that allow for easy climbing, and they can be equipped with safety rails to provide security.
A high-sleep bunk is a smart choice for older kids, but it is important to make sure they have the correct room height and safety measures in place to sleep on the top bunk. It's best for kids at this age to share a bed if they share similar schedules and are willing to follow certain rules, for example, not using electronic devices or music prior to the time of bed.
