Children’s Bunk Beds come in an assortment of heights and configurations. The most popular heights for bunk beds are children’s 65", 68” high bunk beds and 70” to 72" high bunk beds. Though it comes down to preference, the criterion to consider when deciding on how high your bunk bed should be; is the age of your children and the ceiling height of the room/ safety.

Children’s Age. If your have a young boy or girl, a 68” high bunk bed (or any lower height) is recommended. This keeps the child safer and closer to the ground. If your child is approaching teen years or is older, a 70” or 72" high bunk bed is ideal as those are designed to handle thicker mattresses and can have more weight placed upon them.

Ceiling Height. The top concern for parents is how far should a bunk bed be from the ceiling and whether or not the bunk bed will fit in the room. To save yourself from an assembly nightmare, measure the height distance from the ground all the way to the ceiling. Bunk bed manufacturers and retailers suggest that there should be 2 to 3 feet of distance between the safety rail and ceiling. We can all agree that we don’t want any children bumping their head.

Safety. Whether you want a 65", 68” high bed or a 72” high bunk bed, all of our bunk beds are meticulously crafted to make sure they meet and exceed all safety standards. To make it even safer, we strongly recommend keeping a bunk bed a safe distance from ceiling fans as well as windows. Other safety tips are to not have more than one person on the top bunk and never have anyone jump on the top or bottom bunk.

eFurnitureHouse.com offers a wide-selection of 68” high bunk beds and 65” bunk beds that come in popular configurations such as twin over twin, twin over full, XL extra long and full over full. The key points to remember are if you have a low ceiling or young children, a 68” (or lower) is the route to go. If the ceiling height doesn’t pose a problem and you have a teen or even an adult going on top, a 70” high bunk or taller would be best. To accommodate to your every need, we offer the most popular wooden bunk beds, metal bunk beds and loft beds in every imaginable style, size and finish.
