Triple Bunk Bed Ideas
We've heard this scenario quite a few times... Your family was blessed with twins (or you already have two kids), and now you are expecting baby #3 or even #4! As you begin searching for triple beds to accommodate three or more kids in a single shared room, you quickly realize there are few solutions to your space dilemma.
Exclusive to Maxtrix, we've compiled some of our favorite triple bunk bed options for shared spaces. Choose the style that best suits your room configuration and needs, and customize it with various entry options, finishes, bed end styles, and more.
Stacked Triple Bunk Beds
If you are looking for a bed suitable for twins, triplets, multiple children, or even friend sleepovers, and need to also maximize the design of your boys' or girls' shared bedroom, the best solution is likely a stacked triple bunk bed.
Available in twin, twin XL, full, and queen sizes, there's a fit for everyone. These three bunk beds are typically recommended for rooms with 10' ceilings. So, if you have the height, try a tall bunk. You can even customize these three-tier bunk beds by adding underbed storage or bedside storage.

L-Shaped Triple Bunk Beds
If you need to sleep three children in one room and you do not have the ceiling height for a stacked triple bunk bed, there are plenty of other options.
The most popular is an L-shaped triple bunk bed configuration that uses the room's corner. This three-person bunk bed is a good solution for rooms that are more square and can afford more floor space. They also work in rooms with only 8' ceilings, giving you more flexibility. From staircase options to queen-size bed setups, we have plenty of options for any space!
Choosing the Right Triple Bunk Bed
Not sure which three-level bunk bed is right for your kids, room, or needs?
If you have tall ceilings and limited floor space, a stacked triple bunk bed is a good choice. Vice versa, if you have standard ceilings and open floor space, a corner bunk bed may be better.

FAQ
What is a triple bunk bed?
A triple bunk bed is a space-saving bed that sleeps three people. Depending on the design, the three sleeping surfaces may be stacked vertically or arranged in an L-shaped or corner configuration.
Are triple bunk beds good for three kids sharing a room?
Yes, triple bunk beds give three children their own sleeping surfaces without requiring space for three separate bed frames. They are especially useful in shared kids’ rooms, vacation homes, and bedrooms that need to accommodate siblings and sleepover guests.
What are the different types of triple bunk beds?
The two main styles are stacked triple bunk beds and L-shaped or corner triple bunk beds. A stacked triple bunk places all three beds vertically, while a corner design typically combines a traditional bunk with a lofted third bed extending along an adjoining wall.
What ceiling height do you need for a stacked triple bunk bed?
Stacked triple bunk beds are typically recommended for bedrooms with 10-foot ceilings. The additional ceiling height helps provide more usable space between each sleeping surface and above the top bunk.
Can a triple bunk bed fit in a room with an 8-foot ceiling?
Yes. An L-shaped or corner triple bunk bed can work in a room with an 8-foot ceiling because it does not stack all three beds directly on top of one another. A mid-height corner configuration can also help preserve headroom above the upper beds.
Are L-shaped triple bunk beds good for small rooms?
L-shaped triple bunk beds can be a smart choice for smaller, square-shaped bedrooms. They use two adjoining walls and the room’s corner, helping families sleep three people while keeping the center of the room more open.
Are triple bunk beds suitable for teens?
Yes. Triple bunk beds can work well for teens when the sleeping surfaces provide enough length, width, and headroom. Twin XL, Full, or Queen options may offer a better long-term fit for growing children and teenagers.
