      Ceiling Heights for Bunk Beds: Which Option is Right For Your Space?

      Home / Casa Kids Blog & Knowledge Center
      Previous  / Next

      A series of five different children's bed designs, ranging from mini bunks to loft beds, depicted in a minimalist style.

      Bunk beds are the easiest solution for homes that are low on space but with a need to accommodate more than one child in a room. Before you buy, however, it's important to take ceiling heights into consideration. 

      Today standard ceilings are typically around 8’ to 9’ tall. Below 8’ is considered low and above 9’ is considered high.

      The general rule of thumb is that the top bunk needs to have 33 to 36 inches of space between the mattress and your ceiling. This will give the child up top enough room to sit up comfortably without hitting their head.

      Being from New York, we've worked with homes of all different shapes, sizes and ceiling heights, so we made sure we have options for everyone. So...what options are available in your home?

      A lineup of various children's bed designs, featuring different configurations such as bunk beds and loft beds.

      Best for low ceilings:

      A child's room featuring a white bunk bed with yellow bedding, surrounded by colorful shelves and a circular rug.
      Our LoLo (pictured above) and Cabin bunk beds are perfect for lower ceilings that are slightly below average. Both these options are 64” tall, needing ceilings that are only 7’6”.

      Best for standard ceilings:

      A child's room with a white bunk bed, striped rug, and a world map on the wall, lit by natural light from a window.The Marino Bunk (featured above) and the Dumbo Lofts, our most customizable beds, both clock in at 72” tall. For these beds we suggest ceilings of 8’3”.

      Best for high ceilings:

      A stylish child's bedroom featuring a white bunk bed with blue bedding, and a ceiling adorned with star patterns.HiHi, our new triple bunk bed sleeps three, but to achieve this we had to go even taller than our Marino or Dumbo beds. HiHi stands at 93” tall. For a comfortable clearance while in the top bunk we recommend rooms have about 10 feet tall ceilings, give or take.

      Even less space? No problem.

      Colorful child's room with a white patterned bunk bed, green and red accents, and an orange rug.Our miniBUNK is the tiniest we’ve got. With its tallest side standing at 58”, this bed is ideal for any home, especially those with ceilings lower than 7 feet.

      Lineup of five labeled children's beds, including bunk, cabin, and loft styles, depicted in gray and orange.

      Irregular Size?

      We can almost guarantee that one of these sizes will fit any room, but if you're looking for something different, you can always start a custom project. We've had some customers who liked the design of one bed, but needed it in the size of another, and we're usually able to easily accommodate these requests. If you need something custom built, start by coming in for a showroom visit if you're local where we can plan together and discuss next steps. If you're out of the area, you can always contact us here and let us know what you're looking for.
