Twin XL Over Queen Bunk Bed
Excitement continues to build about our twin XL-over-queen bunk bed. It's an updated look built to accommodate growing kids, teens, and adults while keeping the stacked design of a space-saving bunk bed with ladder. This solid wood twin XL-over-queen bunk bed checks the boxes for quality, safety, extra accommodations, and style.
Add a trundle bed for even more efficient sleeping quarters, or go for the modern bunk bed version in a two-toned finish.
Fit and Measurements
This smart layout maximizes space by keeping the top twin XL bed stacked over the bottom queen bed frame. This works ideally for bedrooms, guest quarters, or rental properties that may need to sleep all ages – from kids’ bunk beds to adult bunk beds. Compared to a queen-over-queen bunk bed, the mix of bed sizes in a twin XL-over-queen bunk bed suits each family member or guest perfectly.
This bunk bed with a queen on the bottom measures 88 inches long, 64 inches wide, and 71 inches tall. To put things in perspective, this 13-year-old stands 5'1".
With the extra 4 inches of space in the top twin XL bed frame, the bed fits perfectly with the dimensions of the lower queen bed (they are the same length). Plus, that's extra space for longer legs to stretch out.
Head space is also important (because who wants to bump their head on the top bunk or ceiling when sitting up?). Even with its high bed frame, this bed still works very well with 8-foot ceilings, leaving plenty of space for comfort.
So, length and height are checked off, but what about width? With a queen-size bed at the base, this bottom bunk easily sleeps adults or more than one child or teen. In fact, it is often used to accommodate entire families in beach homes and guest rooms. Stack two side by side to sleep two families or eight kids.

Climbing Method
While there are many ladder options, the sleek side ladder keeps the look simple and clean. In fact, when viewed straight on, the ladder blends seamlessly into the design. However, at an angle, the ladder is easily visible. Take a look at the grooves on each step to ensure smaller feet climb safely.
Twin XL over queen bunk beds with stairs are a great fit for younger kids learning to climb, adults who want an easier way up, and sneaking in extra storage. Each step features a built-in storage drawer below, providing a simple, seamless spot to store belongings.

Trundle Add On
Need to sleep even more? Create a twin XL over queen bunk bed with trundle by adding a twin XL trundle bed that fits perfectly below. Tuck it away when not in use to maximize valuable floor space. This option works for a family of four who may want a separate bed for each child (or for the ultimate sleepover).

Twin over Full Bunk Bed for a Smaller Scale
Not quite ready for the larger bed frame, but like the staggered design of a smaller bed on top and a larger bed on the bottom? The perfect solution is the twin-over-full bunk bed, which fits well in smaller guest rooms, kids' rooms, and vacation homes.
While still accommodating at least two people, this standard design is ideal for more compact spaces. See many styles of twin over full-size bunk beds, along with trundle and stair options.

For two large beds on the top and the bottom, opt for a queen-size bunk bed with two queen beds stacked on top of each other. Take a look and let us know if we can help you answer questions about these designs or any of our queen-on-queen bunk beds for the whole family.
