If there’s one thing you’ve probably come to realize about us here at Cubby, it’s that we love bunk beds. With dozens of variations to choose from — twin over full, futon , storage, slide, and triple, just to name a few! — these fun, versatile picks are the ultimate kid bed. But while these beds may be the bed of most kids’ dreams, parents may worry about kids falling off of a bunk. Luckily, it’s something that children’s furniture designers have come to understand, too. Let us introduce you to the perfect solution for worried parents and wobbly kiddos: the low bunk bed.

Designed with a floor bed as its base, these 11 bunk beds keep the lower bunk close to the ground for safer sleep. A perfect pick for toddlers making the transition to a big kid bed, this list includes everything from slides, desks, and even a triple bunk design! Here’s to fun and safe sleep for everyone. (You can also check out more of our toddler bunk bed picks!)

Oeuf Perch Nest Bed

$1,980

We love a good versatile find and the Ouef Perch Nest Bed is that and then some. This bed can be set up one of two ways: as a loft bed with a floor mattress or as a canopy bed with space for an add-on trundle! Talk about customizable! The best part? It stands at about 4’2” tall, at least a foot shorter than a typical loft bed, making it the perfect first bunk bed that allows for easy goodnight kisses and an increased sense of security.
