Choose a low-profile bunk bed that is only two inches higher than the floor for smaller spaces. For more space, opt for an over-full bunk bed or a twin loft beds with built-in shelves and desk. You can also get a bunk bed that sleeps three children at once (just ensure that you have enough ceiling space to accommodate the triple option).

Safety
Bunk beds are popular due to the fact that they save space, but they also pose a safety danger to children who aren't old enough to lie on the top bunk. Kids can fall off the bottom of the mattress or fall into the gap between the ladder and the mattress at the bottom. To make sure your kids are sleeping in a safe manner, look for bunk beds that are compliant with national safety standards and is certified by an independent test lab.
Check that the bed has guard rails on both sides, with gaps of no more than 3.5 inches wide to avoid strangulation. Make sure the mattress foundation is sturdy and not too deep, because a mattress that is too deep could cause the guard rails to collapse. Avoid bunk beds with ladders that extend beyond the frame. These ladders are more prone to getting caught in curtains or other objects. Children should never climb or play on the side or bunk bed. They should not play with toys or other items on or near the ladder. The best spot for bunk beds is in the corner of the room so that both beds are surrounded by walls on two sides. It's also important to keep bunk beds away from hanging lights or ceiling fans as they can be dangerous if someone bumps their head against them while sitting upright in bed.
To prevent accidents, stairwells or ladders should have anti-entrapment devices and be securely attached to bunk beds to prevent accidents. It's important to have a firm surface on which kids can climb up and down with carpet or a stair runners.
It's a good idea to inform children about the rules for using bunk beds, which includes not jumping or playing on it and treating it as a bed to sleep in. It is important to teach them to use the ladder to climb up and down. Do not use it as an exercise stairway. Children should be taught not to hang things like belts or scarves on bunk beds. Jump ropes and decorations can also cause strangulation.

Both can be useful but it's important to ensure that they are constructed of solid and sturdy wood and that they do not break or cause a risk when in use. Staircases are generally safer than ladders since they are built directly into the bed frame. Ladders pose a risk to young children, since they are easy to climb and can cause falls if not properly secured.
