Kids Cottage Colors Black Twin/Twin Step Bunk Bed

This bed stands at a height of 72.75 inches. In a home with standard 8-foot (96-inch) ceilings, this leaves approximately 23 inches of headspace above the top bunk. To ensure the sleeper can sit up comfortably and safely, we recommend this model for rooms where you can maintain at least 24 to 30 inches of clearance between the top of the mattress and the ceiling.

While ladders are excellent for saving floor space, a step bunk like this one is the superior choice for parents prioritizing safety and ease of access. The built-in steps provide a wider, more stable platform for children to climb compared to traditional rungs. An added benefit of this design is the integrated storage; the drawers built into the steps allow you to maximize every square inch of the room’s footprint.

Bunkie boards are required for both the top and bottom bunks to provide proper support for the mattresses. Traditional box springs are not compatible with this bed as their height would cause the mattress to sit too high, compromising the safety of the guardrails and significantly reducing headroom. A bunkie board provides a slim, rigid foundation that keeps the mattress at the correct safety level.

To keep the chic black finish looking its best, our care guidelines recommend regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth to prevent buildup. For cleaning spills or marks, use a soft cloth lightly dampened with mild soap and water, and dry the surface immediately afterward. To protect the integrity of the finish, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive polishes.

For safety, it is strongly recommended that children be at least 6 years old before sleeping on the top bunk. This guideline follows CPSC safety standards to ensure the child has the coordination and maturity to navigate the elevated sleeping surface and steps safely.

Yes, this bed is specifically designed to solve the challenges of small-space living. By integrating storage drawers directly into the staircase, it effectively eliminates the need for an extra dresser in the room. This "all-in-one" approach is ideal for maximizing floor space in shared suburban bedrooms or compact urban apartments, leaving more room for play or study areas.
