She suggests to look for a sturdy construction that will ensure that the bunk will last for many years of use and abuse. She also suggests looking at the material that you choose, which should be constructed from durable and eco-friendly wood or a sturdy composite. The majority of bunks we've looked at are made of either one or the other. A majority of them are Greenguard Gold certified meaning they meet the standards for air quality that are set by the Environmental Protection Agency. The last thing to consider is the ladder, which can be straight or angled, and should be placed on either the left or right side of the long side of the bed, depending on the size of the room and layout. Angled ladders require more real estate to climb but are safer than straight ladders that can be more easy to fall off of, Fenton says. Some of the bunks we reviewed have stairs that are more convenient to use, but require more space. This could be an option if have a child who needs extra support to get in bed. Most of our choices can be transformed into two separate beds, so that the bunk can work for your child even as they develop. For example the Oeuf Perch bunk, a favorite of Fenton and writer (and mom of two) Alex Morris, can be separated into a loft and an ordinary twin bed, to ensure that it doesn't feel “baby” when your child enters their teen years.
