8 Best Trending Bunk Beds 2024
Bunk beds provide unbeatable versatility for parents needing to sleep two kids in one bedroom, and they are suitable for mixed ages, with the option of a double lower bunk and a single top bunk.
Plus, even if you don’t need to sleep with two kids all the time, they are lifesavers for sleepovers, and some convert into single beds with an Allen key.
In 2024, the most popular bunk bed colours are white and grey, with black wooden frames taking a back seat.
The top format is single + single because most kids sharing a bedroom are around the same age, but most teenagers prefer a double-bottom bunk.
Here are the most popular bunk beds in 2024 so far:
Julian Bowen Domino
Available in anthracite and white, the Domino by Julian Bowen has two single bunks and a sturdy, thick ladder. The metal guard rail is suitable for mattresses up to 18cm thick—check out these Sleepsoul ones.
The Domino also has built-in shelves for both bunks, making it a fantastic choice for readers and kids who like to keep everything close.
Birlea Nexus Triple Bunk Bed
The Nexus Triple combines a double bottom bunk with a single top bunk, letting you sleep three children (top and tail on the bottom). The angled ladder makes it safe and easy to climb to the top.
The ladder has wooden feet and metal rails, while the guard rail works with mattresses up to 18cm. We recommend the Giltedge Slimline combo.
Bedmr Mya
If you want a classic pine bunk bed, the Mya delivers with its solid pinewood construction, slatted ends, and rounded ladder.
You can split the top and lower bunks into separate beds – perfect for when sleeping preferences change – and the top guard rail is suitable for mattresses up to 18cm thick. The Serenity Pocket combo will do you well.
Birlea Adventure
No bunk bed can match the Birlea Adventure for sparking the imagination with its treetop bunk and super-low bottom bunk. Available in grey and white, it sets the stage for childhood adventures and bedroom playtime galore.
The cosy shelter gives your kid somewhere to snuggle in safety, with a roof and a side window that prevents accidents (in addition to the guard rail).
Flair Flick
The Flick is an absolute dream with a built-in bottom drawer, built-in shelves, a dual-tone colour scheme, and a wide, thick ladder.
Choose from white or grey + white colours and enjoy a chunky bunk bed built to go the distance. You can configure the ladder on the left or right and the bottom drawer offers plenty of space for pyjamas and bedding.
Naples Bed Company 3 Sleeper
The Naples Bed Company 3 Sleeper has a double bed on the bottom bunk and a single bed on the upper bunk, like the Nexus Triple, but it is constructed of wood rather than metal and has a chunkier, more homely design.
You can split the bunks to suit your sleeping arrangements, and in bunk bed mode, you can put the ladder on either side to suit your bedroom layout.
Julian Bowen Solar
Sometimes, a bed stands out: the Julian Bowen Solar. This unique bunk bed boasts a contemporary built-in ladder frame with a one-piece design and viewing windows rather than open bunks to create a sense of privacy.
The grey one has proven to be most popular in 2024 because it feels more like a grown-up bed frame.
Julian Bowen Camelot
We end our list with the Camelot, a grand bunk bed for older kids with two single bunks, two bottom drawers, built-in bunk shelves, and a staircase with built-in storage—perfect for small bedrooms with little space for clutter.
Anthracite grey and white versions suit any bedroom style – choose white if you want a light, airy feel.
