Katie Siegel, the lead designer at Rumor Designs, says that when choosing a bunk bed for your child take into consideration the size of their room. You will want to make sure that the dimensions of the bed are in line with the dimensions of your room, or else they may appear too heavy and unbalanced. Also, you should consider whether or not your ceilings are high enough for a lofted bed.

Consider the method your children use to get up and down their bunks. Some models come with a standard ladder while others come with an additional stairway that has deep steps for children to safely climb up and down. This is especially important if older children are in the top bunk on their own.
