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.

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.

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.
