Bunk beds save space. Small bunk beds save even more space. This list contains eight compact and narrow bunk beds for the bedroom. All of them are twin over twin bunk beds, and the majority of them are symmetrical.
Even if your kid(s) have their own bedroom, it never hurts getting a bunk bed for when they have friends sleep over. It can also be a lifesaver if you have a house full of guests.
That said, many kid bedrooms are not very big. Many of today’s bunks are huge (doubles, l-shape and incorporate all kinds of features such as slides, stairs, desks, etc.). This article showcases options for smaller kids rooms, mainly twin-over-twin bunk beds.
Below we showcase several top small bunk bed editorial picks.
1. Twin House-Style Bunk Bed
Here’s a fun, small twin bunk bed kids will love. Both beds are twin. The upper, as you can see, is a small house. The lower bed is very low to the ground to provide sufficient overhead clearance for both levels. Actually, the low bottom bunk is a smart design because it creates more overhead clearance.
