Bunk Beds

Bunk beds are the classic space-saver for kids’ rooms—two sleep spots stacked up, leaving the floor open for play, storage, or a desk. The Brick has to offer kids bunk beds in configurations that work for siblings sharing a room, sleepovers on weekends, and teens who want their own space without upgrading to a bigger bedroom.

Why do families choose bunk beds?

A bunk bed for kids is often about space first: smaller rooms can feel twice as usable when you’re not fitting two separate bed frames. Bunk beds can also make bedtime easier in shared rooms, since each child gets a defined “my spot” that’s separate from the rest of the room.

For older kids, bunk beds for teens can be a practical choice too—especially if the room needs a study area or extra storage. With the right layout, a bunk setup can leave enough breathing room for a dresser and a proper homework zone.

Bunk bed types to know before purchasing

Bunk beds come in a few core layouts, and picking the right one is mostly about who’s sleeping where (and how long you want the bed to last).

Twin-over-twin bunk beds

Twin-over-twin is the go-to for two kids sharing a room, and it’s a common choice across kids bunk beds Canada searches because it fits in most bedrooms. It’s also an easy setup for sleepovers, since both mattresses are the same size and bedding is simple to swap and wash.

Twin-over-full (twin-over-double)

A twin-over-full bunk bed gives the bottom sleeper more space—handy for age gaps, taller kids, or teens. This configuration can also be a smart “grow with them” option if you expect the bottom bunk to become the favourite hangout spot.

Full-over-full bunk beds

Full-over-full bunk beds are built for bigger sleep surfaces on both levels, which can work well for teens or guest-ready rooms. Because these beds are heavier and larger, always double-check room size and ceiling height before committing.

Bunk beds with desk, trundle, or storage

Bunk beds with a desk underneath are popular in small bedrooms because the study area is built in, not squeezed in later. A bunk bed with trundle adds an extra pull-out sleeping spot for guests, while storage bunk beds (drawers or underbed space) help keep toys and spare bedding from taking over the closet.

Safety basics parents look for in bunk beds

The top bunk comes with real responsibilities, so the age guideline matters. Safety guidance commonly recommends that children under 6 should not sleep on the upper bunk, since coordination and judgement are still developing.

A few practical safety checks help, too: guardrails on the top bunk, a stable ladder or stairs, and a mattress height that keeps the guardrail doing its job. Guardrails should sit at least 5 inches above the top of the mattress when using the maximum recommended mattress thickness.

Shop Bunk Beds at The Brick

The Brick has to offer bunk beds for kids, tweens, and teens, with options that suit different room sizes and different routines—simple twin bunks, twin-over-full styles, and designs that add storage or a built-in desk. Use the collection filters to narrow by size and features first, then pick the finish that works with the rest of the room (black, white, grey, or wood tones) so everything feels intentional, not pieced together.

Some bunk beds are rated for up to 300 pounds on the top bunk, but weight limits vary by model and should be confirmed on the product details for the exact bunk bed you choose.

How long do bunk beds last?

Bunk beds can last for many years with normal use, especially when they’re assembled correctly and checked occasionally for loose hardware.

Are bunk beds safe for children?

Bunk beds can be safe when used as intended—following the manufacturer’s instructions, using guardrails, and keeping kids under 6 off the top bunk are key basics.
