With a third on the way, I’m going to be moving two of my boys in with each other. We decided bunk beds are definitely the way to go, so I’ve been researching them like some people research cars. Bunk beds have come a long way since I was a kid, and are some great options out there for your room-sharing kiddos.
The factors I took into consideration when choosing a bunk bed for my kids were:
Safety: Other parents’ reviews and recommendations were important
Design: I mean, I have to look at them every day, too…
Cost: The average price seemed to hover around $1K, although I found a few options that were under $300. The downside of the cheaper options are that they require more assembly.
Fun factor: At the end of the day, my kids have to love it as much as I do
After an exhaustive search, here are some of my favorite bunk beds on the market today. Although I haven’t chosen our winner yet, I’ve narrowed the best choices down. You’ll surely find one that’s perfect for your family in the slideshow.
What’s your bunk-bed style? Budgeted and more DIY, or pricier and ready to go?

NORDDAL bunk bed from IKEA
It's not a bunk-bed round-up without the NORDDAL bunk bed from IKEA ($199+). They have an unfinished version for $199 that is often DIYed and hacked into imaginative bunk-bed creations, but this finished one is $299. For me, the hassle of putting it together (have you heard the joke about the couple who divorced over assembling IKEA furniture?) isn't outweighed by the low price tag.

The Treehouse from Pottery Barn Kids
Another super fun bunk bed option is The Treehouse from Pottery Barn Kids ($1699). I mean, your kids will be fighting over who gets to sleep in the house top bunk, but they'll also probably spend hours playing in it, so I say it's worth it. Plus, IT'S A TREEHOUSE!
