Quadruple or Quad Bunk Beds & Lofts
A quadruple bunk bed is the ideal way to sleep four people comfortably in one bedroom when space is limited. Quad bunks are the solution for sleepovers, extended family, and unexpected guests when extra sleeping space is needed. Our solid wood quadruple bunks for adults have a weight capacity of up to 2000 pounds per sleeping surface.
Comfortable, safe, and a stylish space for four sleepers in the same room is now more common than you might think especially in the case of vacation homes, VRBOs, and Airbnbs. Once you've decided that is what you want, there are some common configurations that we've run across in our experience working with a variety of designers and trades people.
1. An L shaped or corner quad bunk that has 2 sleeping spaces on adjoining walls. Most of these designs have separate ladders or stairs for getting into the top bunk for convenience. Otherwise there will be a central ladder that will allow access to the top sleeping spots located in the middle.
2. Two bunks side by side on one wall with a ladder in the middle to get into the top bunks. This of course requires one very long wall, but some people prefer this stylewise.
3. Two separate bunks in different parts of the room. This is the most flexible configuration in that you are not moving one very large piece of furniture.

Windows & doors | Keep egress clear | Safety and code considerations |
Mattress Sizes Commonly Used
Size | Dimensions (in) | Typical Use |
---|---|---|
Twin | 38 × 75 | Kids & guests |
Twin XL | 38 × 80 | Taller kids/teens |

Safety Checklist
- Use proper guardrails on all top bunks with openings < 3.5".
- Confirm the weight limit per bunk and stairs; distribute weight evenly.
- Choose mattress thickness recommended by the manufacturer to maintain rail height.
- Secure the unit per instructions; anchor to wall if specified.
- Keep ladders/stairs unobstructed; add night lighting if needed.
- For rentals, follow local fire and egress rules; keep windows/doors clear.
Mattresses & Accessories
- Low-profile mattresses on top tiers help maintain rail height.
- Slat or bunkie boards as specified; avoid excessive sinkage.
- Stair drawers or under-bed storage to maximize space.
- Clip-on lights and USB shelves for each berth.
- Label the bunks (A–D) in busy homes or rentals for easy assignment.

People Also Ask — 4 Bunk Bed
What is a 4 bunk bed called?
A 4 bunk bed is commonly called a quad bunk or quadruple bunk. Designs include stacked 2×2 bunks, L-shaped quads, and quad lofts with open space beneath.
How big is a 4 person bunk bed?
Dimensions vary by layout and mattress size. Twin/twin quads often plan around ~80–110" length and 42–64" depth; queen-tier quads can reach ~86–96" depth or more, especially in L-shapes. Always check the specific model’s dimensions before purchase.
Do 4 bunk beds fit in a small room?
They can, if the ceiling height and clearances work. Measure for ladder/stair access, guardrail clearance, and walkways (about 24–36"). An L-shape can free up a central area when doors or windows limit placement.
Are quadruple bunk beds safe?
Yes, when used as directed: follow weight limits, install guardrails on all top bunks, use the recommended mattress thickness, keep ladders/stairs clear, and anchor the unit if specified by the manufacturer.
What ceiling height do I need for a 4 bunk bed?
Plan for at least 30" of headroom above the top mattress. Many twin/full quads work well in 8–9' rooms; queen-tier designs often need 9–10'+, depending on rail height and mattress profile.

- Open floor space: L-shaped quad.
- Study + sleep: Quad loft with desks/shelves.
