The best bunk beds for kids aren’t just a way to maximize space in crowded bedrooms. No, dear parents. They’re a way for kids to bond during slumber parties. And when it comes to toddler bunk beds, they’re a great way to introduce younger kids to non-scary independent sleeping, especially when they’re paired with a sibling.

Small bunk beds, meanwhile, can transform a bedroom crammed with Nerf guns, dollhouses, and other toys into … well, not something quite spacious, but at least with some room to maneuver. And all that aside, children’s bunk beds make bedtime just more damn fun. Here are ones that we love: They’re sturdy, well-made, and grow with your kids because you can disassemble them into standalone beds.

Bunk Bed with Stairs

A bunk bed stylish enough for older kids, but with rounded edges suitable for youngsters, this one converts to two twin beds. The integrated ladder can move to either side, for any room configuration. It doesn't require a box spring. The maximum weight is 500 pounds. This particular piece of furniture is GREENGUARD Gold Certified, meaning it emits fewer VOCs and chemicals.
