The 9 Best Bunk Beds for Kids of 2025 — and Some for Adults, Too

The best bunk beds are more than a series of panels, slats and railings. They're pods of imagination, pockets of comfort and corners of safety and retreat. They're also the physical manifestations of that most precious of a child's possessions: one's own space.
None of the designs that follow wouldn't have made the list if they didn't pass safety, support and quality construciton standards. With these basics already built-in and out of the way, we went to designer Emilie Navarro for help in identifying the more nuanced parts of bunk bed choices. From the features you know you want (stairs!) to benefits that wouldn't have occurred to you otherwise (trundle options, storage drawers, and high weight capacities — giving options for adult, teens and guest rooms, too), we cover it all. Style, size and budget are also accounted for; with all the hard research out of the way, all that's left is for you to browse at your leisure and see which of these best bunk beds speak to your personality, space and function needs!
