Bunk desks and beds are an excellent way to make the most of the space of a bedroom while adding some flair. These beds are a favorite among teens and children, but they can also be utilized for adult bedrooms to create a study or reading space.

It can be used either as a single-bed or with an additional futon on the bottom. The KALLAX has an integrated shelf to store books, toys, or other items. Some reviewers mention that the bunk bed is strong enough for adults to sleep on, however, it's crucial to follow the safety guidelines set by the manufacturer to prevent overheating or falling off the top.

Another alternative is the IKEA Stora loft bed with a desk and drawers. The model is similar to the design and comes in a range of colors such as pink. Its solid pine design is attractive and durable, but some reviewers say it takes some time to assemble.

Finally, there is a loft bed that you can make yourself on Instagram that uses IKEA KALLAX units to create frame and support the mattress.

She used a wooden panel to strengthen the steps on the KALLAX unit after hearing "cracks" while climbing them. This DIY is an excellent idea for those who are interested in saving money and are aware of the weight IKEA KALLAX units can support.

This bunk made of steel is the most heavy option on our list, but it's also constructed to last, according to Fenton. "These are the type of bunks that you'd find in the hotel, they're made like tanks."

If you're building a bunk bed for your children or yourself, the key to a successful design is making sure there's enough head room enough to comfortably accommodate both mattresses, and to allow the upper sleeper to be able to stand up in the bed. We suggest measuring the height of your ceiling and comparing it with the recommended clearances for each of our picks before purchasing. If your ceiling is very low, you might be interested in a design that places the mattress directly on the ground (like the West Elm bunk) rather than floating above. You may lose some storage space beneath the bed, but you'll gain more space for reading and playing.
