The Ultimate Guide to IKEA Bunk Beds:
Space-Saving Solutions for Your Home

Bedtime stories, midnight parties, slumber parties, and arguments   over who can get the top bunk;  All of   these are childhood moments associated with space-saving bunk beds.  Aside from the fun factor, beds are the   most practical options for small spaces.    That’s not even the fact that they are pleasing to the eye and fit   into any stylishly designed home.

There’s just one problem: there’s a lot to consider when choosing   the best one for your space.  It’s not   like choosing regular bed frames as there are beds that hang off the floor   with bunk beds.

To help you make the right choice as things can get easily   confusing, we have listed the best bunk beds you can get from the renowned   and trendy Swedish furniture maker IKEA.    Not only does the company make bunk beds that are attractive,   functional, and affordable, but their products are also rigorously tested to   ensure users’ safety.

Check out our favorites below!

IKEA TUFFING bunk bed   frame

If you’re looking for a well-made bunk that won’t cost you an arm   or a leg, the Tuffing in Dark Gray Bunk Bed is an excellent choice.  It was given with a strong, powder-coated   steel frame.  It’s a two size bunk bed   that is affordable without sacrificing the durability or safety of the bed.  

We admit that this isn’t the most stunning or elegant option, but   it’s definitely the most financially savvy.    Note: The device comes with a full warranty that you can seldom enjoy   buying an affordable piece of furniture from other brands.

Since the ladder system does not protrude, the tuffing bunk bed is   also suitable in difficult rooms where there is no luxury in the room.  The bunk bed is purposely made low to   ensure the safety of the kids as they get a good night’s sleep on their new   bed.  The entire unit is 51 3/8 inches   tall with a maximum load capacity of 220 lbs.    It only took an hour to assemble so it’s great if you are a busy   parent.


IKEA SVÄRTA bunk   bed

The SVÄRTA bunk bed frame is an excellent no-frills bunk bed and   will last a lifetime.  This makes it a   great value for money option.  What   impressed us about this IKEA bunk bed is the ability to add a pull-out bed   that can be placed under the lower level for extra sleeping space.  If you have three children this is a must   have in your home as it saves a lot of space and allows the children to sleep   separately.

Once the kids outgrow their love of the bunk bed, the device will   make a great bed in the guest room as it has a maximum load capacity of 220   pounds.

Be a forward-thinking buyer and choose this beautifully finished,   powder-coated steel bunk.  As with all   IKEA furniture, there is a full guarantee to protect your   investment.


IKEA MYDAL bunk   bed

If you are looking for a carefully crafted bunk that your   grandchildren can enjoy too, the MYDAL bunk bed frame is worth considering.  It is made from a renewable raw material,   solid pine, which means that it will last for several decades.  It comes with the full manufacturer’s   warranty and is lead-free and exceeds industry standards in terms of safety.  

The bed is equipped with an integrated ladder system and guard   rails.  Both beds in the model fit on   the standard single beds, each up to 8 ¼ inches thick.  This means your kids won’t grow out of   their bunk quickly.

Because the part has a low profile and a total weight of 28.10 kg,   it is not difficult to set up.    Assembly can be done in less than an hour, so you don’t have to plan   on hiring someone or bringing in a handy friend to help.  Once the bunk is assembled the bed is 77   1/8 x 41 x 61 3/4 inches.


IKEA NORDDAL bunk   bed

In black-brown, the NORDDAL bunk bed frame has a subtle yet   classic style that is sure to go with any bedroom decor.  It has a perfectly balanced economy with   sturdiness as it is made of solid wood that forms the main parts and bed   slats.  Fiberboard for the bed frame   panel;  and galvanized steel for the   most durable mounting rail.

The beds can accommodate standard single mattresses, but are sold   separately.  What impressed us about   the NORDDAL bunk bed frame is the craftsmanship of the product.  Personally, it is clearly an exceptionally   manufactured product.  It’s also worth   every penny as the beds can be separated and placed in different rooms if   desired!

It is worth noting that while it is an affordable piece of   furniture, it is not made cheaply.  it   doesn’t wobble back and forth which means you don’t have to worry even if   your kids are hard on their beds!  When   assembled, it has overall dimensions of 77 3/4 “x 40 1/8” x 63   “.


IKEA SVÄRTA pull-out   bed

As already mentioned, the SVÄRTA bunk bed can be supplemented with   a lower bed, the SVÄRTA pull-out bed!    It is also made of powder-coated steel with a base made of a mixture   of solid wood and wooden materials.  As   it can be combined with the SVÄRTA bunk, it easily fits underneath.  What moved us to include this on our list   of the best bunk beds available is knowing that parents need extra sleeping   space, especially when kids are the age they are constantly throwing slumber   parties.

The SVÄRTA pull-out bed will make all your children’s Friday   evening parties a little easier.  The   device can accommodate a double or single mattress.  If you don’t need extra space to sleep,   your children can use the underbed as an extra large drawer.  The pull-out bed slides out smoothly so   kids don’t have a hard time doing it on their own.


IKEA STORÅ loft   bed

The STORÅ Loft Bed Frame is a stylish, contemporary piece with a   unique design, combining design and functionality.  The bed is raised to allow for an   additional bedroom underneath or just to free up some space.  If there is an award for the most flexible   bed, it will be given to this IKEA bunk.

As you may have guessed, it is an excellent choice when your   child’s room is tight.  There are so   many options for what can be added under the loft bed.  The idea is to create a fun, creative space   for your child.  Let your imagination   run wild on how to use the space below.    You can even let your child decide what free space they want!  

The bed frame is of course an IKEA product, so you can rest   assured that your child is safe.    However, a ceiling height of at least 9 feet is required to fit the   bed and ensure the user’s sleeping comfort.    The STORÅ loft bed can accommodate a full size mattress and requires   DIY assembly.
