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 prior to making the purchase. She recommends looking for a solid construction which will ensure that the bunk will last for many years of abuse and use. She also suggests that you look at the material. It should be constructed of durable, eco-friendly wood or a strong composite. Most of the bunks in our roundup are constructed from 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 factor to consider is the ladder, which is straight or angled, and should be put on either the left or right side of the long side of the bed, based on room size and arrangement. Fenton states that angled ladders require more space to climb, but they are safer. Straight ladders are more difficult to fall off of. Some of the bunks we reviewed in our review come with stairs that are easier to climb, but they take up more space on the floor, which could be a good alternative if your child is older and requires additional support to get to bed. Most of our picks can be transformed into two separate beds to allow your child to use the bunk as they develop. The Oeuf Perch, a favorite among Fenton and Alex Morris (a writer and mother of two) is able to be divided into two beds: a loft bed as well as a twin bed, so it won't seem “babyish” when your child enters their teen years.
