How to Choose the Best Bunk Bed Design Bunk beds can be a great option for a shared kids bedroom or guest room. They can also offer extra storage space and make the room appear larger. Some bunks are equipped with ladders (which Fenton says are easier to climb than stairs) and some have trundles on the bottom that allow for additional sleepovers. Some bunks can accommodate twin XL mattresses and full mattresses, making them great for older children as well as adults. 1.
