Laura Fenton, the author of The Bunk Bed Book : The 115 Designs for Twins, Triplets and More She says it's crucial to evaluate your options before you make an investment. She advises to look for a sturdy construction that will ensure that the bunk will stand up to years of use and abuse. She also suggests that you look at the material. It should be made of durable, eco-friendly wood or a strong composite. Most of the bunks in our roundup were made of either material, and many are Greenguard Gold certified, meaning they are in compliance with or above air quality standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency. The final thing to think about is the ladder, which can be straight or angled and should be put on either the left or right side of the long side of the bed, depending on room size and arrangement. Fenton states that angled ladders consume more space to climb however they are also safer. Straight ladders are more difficult to fall off of. Some of the bunks we looked at have stairs that are more convenient to use, but require more space. This is an ideal option if you have a child who needs extra support to get to the bed. Most of our picks can be converted into two separate beds to allow your child to utilize the bunk as they develop. For instance, the Oeuf Perch bunk, a favorite of Fenton and writer (and mother of two) Alex Morris, can be divided into a loft bed and a standard twin bed so that it doesn't feel “baby” when your child enters the teen years.
