Amazon Childrens Bunk Beds

Bunk beds have been a major feature of childhood bedrooms and camps alike. But with all the options available it can be difficult to determine which one is the best fit for your family and home. To help, I consulted experts--specifically, Laura Fenton, who literally wrote the book on bunks. Her choices are multitaskers that are space-saving and offer excitement and fun for children as they grow.

Frame

Kids will love the adorable treehouse-like design of the Mathy by Bols bunk bed (above), which also includes solid safety rails to stop kids from climbing on areas other than the ladder that is designated for them.

However, a mattress that's too big will not be able to support the weight of your child.

This mattress comes with two sides: a medium firm side for children who are younger (3-7) and a medium soft side for the older children (8-12).

The Helix mattress is more expensive than our other options but still cheaper than most adult mattresses.
