Best Double Bunk Beds for Shared Bedrooms

Choosing furniture for a shared bedroom takes careful planning. You want something that saves space, fits well, and keeps things practical for daily life.

Double bunk beds tick those boxes. They provide two sleeping spaces in one and often include extra features like storage drawers, shelving, or even a built-in desk. Whether you’re furnishing for younger children, older kids, or a mix of ages, there’s a double bunk bed style that suits.

What are double bunk beds and why are they ideal for shared bedrooms?

Let’s start with the basics, what exactly constitutes a double bunk bed? Double bunk beds combine a larger bed on the bottom with a standard single bed on top, or two small double beds stacked. These designs are a smart solution for shared rooms, offering sleeping space for two children (or for a child plus a guest bed option when friends or relatives visit).

Double bunk beds are especially useful in smaller bedrooms where every inch of floor space counts. They provide two beds in the space of one, helping you make the most of the room’s layout. Many styles include built-in drawers, shelves, or cupboards to create extra storage without adding more furniture. Some options, like triple sleepers, even add a third sleeping space while keeping the footprint compact.

You’ll find a wide range of kids bunk beds at Millie & Jones, including modern wooden frames, sturdy designs with stairs, and models with built-in storage—all designed to suit different ages, styles, and room sizes.

How do double kids bunk beds maximise floor space in smaller bedrooms?

Shared bedrooms often feel tight on floor space with everyone trying to carve out their own area. A double bunk bed helps by combining two beds in the footprint of one. Some styles go further by including storage drawers or shelving in the bed frame itself, helping you reduce the need for extra furniture.

Many Millie & Jones bunk beds with storage feature under-bed drawers, stairs with built-in cupboards, or shelving around the frame to help keep clothes, books, and toys organised. That means more floor space left free for playing, studying, or simply moving around.

Everything you need to know about double bunk beds

Wondering if a double bunk bed will work for your home? Here are some of the reasons we recommend double bunk beds for shared rooms and lots of other spaces.

Are double bunk beds safe for kids?

All Millie & Jones Bunk beds are rigorously tested for safety, and keep both comfort and reliability top of mind. So we build in rails, sturdy bed frames and more (as standard). Key features to look out for include things like guardrails on the top bunk, sturdy ladders or stairs for easy access, and frames made from durable materials. It’s important to double check mattress fit, ceiling height, and that any model you're considering meets current safety standards.

Our bunk bed designs use quality materials such as solid wood or high density particleboard and are designed with child safety in mind, allowing for long-lasting reliability, a comfortable sleeping experience, and efficient design.

What materials work best for double bunk beds?

Wooden bunk beds are a popular choice for their strength, durability, and classic style. Options like pine, oak, and painted solid wood blend well with most bedroom furniture.

Metal bunk beds can suit modern spaces, but wooden frames tend to offer a sturdier feel and often come with extra storage options like built-in drawers or shelves. The Millie & Jones wooden bunk bed collection includes styles made from quality materials designed for long-term use.

Do double bunk beds come with extra storage or shelving?

Many double bunk beds include clever built-in storage features. This might mean storage drawers under the bottom bunk, stairs that double as cupboards, or shelving along the frame for books, toys, or clothes.

A storage bunk bed helps reduce clutter and keeps the room feeling tidy without needing extra pieces of furniture.

Can double bunk beds include desks or study space?

While technically high sleepers rather than bunk beds, some small double high sleeper beds combine a raised sleeping space with a desk or study area underneath. These are a smart choice for shared bedrooms where floor space matters.

Options like the Noomi Tera Small Double High Sleeper provide a small double bed on top with room below for a desk, shelving, and storage drawers. Similarly, the Trasman LoftPod Gaming Bed offers a raised sleeping space with room below for gaming or study setups.
