Bunk Beds for Kids, Adults, and Teens

Bunk Beds
Our bunk beds range from simple twin-over-twin configurations for kids to sophisticated queen-size models for vacation rentals.
Whether you're furnishing a child's bedroom, maximizing guest room capacity, or outfitting a rental property, Totally Home Furniture offers practical sleeping solutions that strike a balance between comfort and style.
Bunk Beds for Modern Homes
Our bunk beds are tailored for modern homes, thanks to these pillars we uphold:
- Maximize Vertical Space
Floor space costs money, especially in urban areas or vacation destinations. Our bunk beds, suitable for both kids and adults, solve this problem by stacking sleeping surfaces vertically. You get two, three, or even four beds in the footprint of one.
- Versatile for Multiple Life Stages
A bunk bed purchased for young children continues to serve them when they become teenagers who need their own space but still share a room. Many families buy kids bunk beds expecting short-term use, only to discover they're still using them a decade later for visiting relatives, teen sleepovers, or even college-age kids home for summer.
- Cost-Effective Room Solutions
Buying one bunk bed costs less than purchasing two separate beds, two mattresses, two sets of bedding, and the additional furniture you'd sacrifice to fit everything. The math gets even better for vacation rental owners, where increased sleeping capacity directly impacts revenue potential.
With efficient use of space, long-term adaptability, and cost-saving benefits, our bunk beds remain a practical choice for today’s households. They blend utility with modern design, making them a perfect fit for any lifestyle.

Safety First: What Every Buyer Should Know
Age Guidelines and Recommendations
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recommends that children under 6 years old should not sleep on upper bunks. Their coordination and judgment are not yet developed enough to navigate ladders and elevated sleeping surfaces safely.
Children 6-12 can use top bunks safely when proper guardrails and mattress thickness guidelines are followed. Teenagers and adults require the same safety features but can handle bunks with fewer restrictions.
Guardrails and Safety Standards
Every top bunk needs full-length guardrails on both sides (except the entry point). The guardrails must extend at least 5 inches above the top of the mattress to prevent rolling off during sleep.
The space between guardrails and other bed components shouldn't exceed 3.5 inches to prevent entrapment. Mattress thickness matters here. An overly thick mattress reduces the effective guardrail height, creating safety risks.
Weight Capacity Matters
Every bunk bed has two critical weight ratings: per-bunk capacity and total system capacity. Don't exceed either limit.
- For kids: 200-250 pounds per bunk usually suffices
- For teens: 350-400 pounds per bunk minimum
- For adults: 400-500 pounds per bunk, with 1,000+ total system capacity
These ratings account for the bed frame, mattress, sleeper, and dynamic loads from movement. Exceeding capacity compromises structural integrity and safety.
Proper Mattress Selection
Use only mattresses specifically approved for bunk bed use. Standard mattresses may be too thick, which can reduce the effectiveness of guardrails.
Maximum mattress thickness recommendations:
- Top bunk: 6 inches (7 inches on some models)
- Bottom bunk: No restrictions, standard mattresses work fine
Measure the distance from the mattress surface to the top of the guardrail. You need at least 5 inches of clearance when the mattress is compressed under weight.
