The sleep space milestones really get us, don’t they? One minute your sweet babe is resting in a bassinet by your side and the next they’re ready for a twin bed. Besides the emotional piece, there’s a lot to consider when you’re thinking about a big kid bed for your little one (or your little-bit-bigger one). Do you want a twin trundle bed? A bunk bed? A toddler bunk bed?

Below you’ll find some favorite twin bed picks for kids. Whether you’re shopping for a preschooler, a tween, or a pair of twins, there’s something here for you.

Davinci Jenny Lind Twin Bed
$379

There’s a reason this turned wood style has long been popular with designers and parents alike. There’s an old world, classic quality to it that still manages to be at home in a modern space. This version, from Davinci, is affordable with a white finish and a reinforced center for extra stability. I’d choose this one because it seems like the kind of bed Anne of Green Gables would have slept in, and I’d keep it for any grandchildren I might have, because that’s how this style speaks to me.

Ouef River Twin Bed
$1,040

I lusted after the beautiful Oeuf cribs when I was pregnant, and now I’m drooling over their big kid beds. When I’m shopping for furniture, it’s the details that matter, and this brand is serious about the details. Besides the clean lines and two wood choices, there’s the sweet little bench at the end, perfect for sitting to put on shoes or an impromptu book or stuffed animal shelf. This bed is compatible with a trundle, if that’s something you’re interested in, which also means that there is enough clearance for under bed storage should you so desire.

KURA Reversible Bed
$299

Though IKEA isn’t the furniture go-to it once was in my college days, I always check in when I’m in the market for something new, just to make sure I’m not missing a gem. This solid pine reversible bed is that gem. It’s on the inexpensive side for a twin bed, which is already a point in its favor, but it also has a bit of a party trick—when your child is little, it functions like a regular bed with an open wooden canopy and a little room for storage. When your little grows up a bit, it can become a loft bed with plenty of play space underneath (they recommend that lifted loft beds not be used before the age of 6).

West Elm Simple Kids Bed Frame
$399

Sometimes you just want a no-frills bed frame. The West Elm version of that frame is contract grade, will accommodate a mattress with or without box springs and is compatible with all the twin headboards they sell. This is a great option if you want the option to regularly switch out your style, you’re looking for a bed for your child’s space at a family member’s house, or you’re just looking to keep things simple.

$399 at West Elm
Babyletto Tiptoe Bunk Bed
$999

If you’ve been on baby Instagram in the past few years, you’ve seen a Babyletto crib, which is also in this list of designer-favorite cribs AND one of the most-recommended cribs in our parent-led Cubby Nursery Awards. I couldn’t be happier that they are expanding their affordable, clean design into furniture beyond the nursery. This Greenguard Gold certified set easily splits apart into two modern twin beds, making this a great buy even if your kids don’t share a room. The ladder placement is flexible, and there is an optional trundle you can add to create even more sleeping room or storage space. There’s nothing babyish about this light and bright set, so there is potential for years of use.

2MamaBees Montessori House Twin Bedframe
$600

Another floor bed option, this solid cedar house bed couldn’t be any cuter. Think of it as a blank canvas for your own design, and your little one’s imagination. Either before it’s used as a bed, during, or after, the frame can also function as a play house space (I’m already picturing a gorgeous play kitchen inside).

$600 at Modern Nursery
Monte Design Luna Twin Bed
$1,495

You might remember Monte from your days searching for the perfect nursery rocker. I was happy to find that they also produce beautiful beds. First I fell for the soft, clean lines, but I got even more excited when I discovered just how customizable this bed is. Choose a curved or square footboard, feet, piping and fabric colors and material as well as optional trundle bed or toddler rail. It’s hard not to picture my daughter lounging with a book on the soft upholstery, both as a little girl and a tween, and while that would be a delight on its own, I also love that I’ll rest better knowing it comes with a Greenguard Gold certification.

Tailored Platform Bed, Twin
$1,025

With over 93 custom fabrics to choose from, The Inside's custom beds have so many great patterns and colors that would be fantastic in a kid's room. We're partial to this stripe pattern. The beds are all made in the USA, too!

$1,025 at The Inside
West Elm Mod Wingback Bed
$999

It’s hard to go wrong with the midcentury modern look. This sleek, upholstered headboard is like an extremely well designed hug for your sleeping child. Rest easy with Greenguard Gold certification and choose your favorite fabric and color options for a custom room that will keep your little one (or not so little one) cozy and stylish for years to come.

$999 at West Elm
Arlen Storage Bed, Twin
$799

I love the simplicity of West Elm's Arlen storage bed. Its minimal, clean-lined design means it'd fit well almost anywhere.

$799 at West Elm
Avocado City Bed Frame, Twin
$750$675

Did you know Avocado, which makes a great eco-friendly kids' matttress, also makes beautiful wood beds? Their City Bed Frame is made of solid FSC-certified North American timber. The assembly is also tool-free! You can choose to get the bed with or without a headboard. Beautiful!

$675 at Avocado
Rigby Platform Bed in Sky Blue Velvet, Twin
$2,998

This bed is an admitted splurge, but if you're up for it, Lulu and Georgia's Rigby Platform Bed is so, so cool. Again, you can customize the color and fabric to your liking. Just look at those big, ball-shaped feet!

$2,998 at Lulu and Georgia
Ava Regency Loft Bed
$2,799

Pottery Barn Kids has a great selection of loft beds in just about every configuration you’d want, with the classic design you’d expect. This is the creme de la creme, which manages to fit nearly an entire room into a loft bed unit. Besides the bed, you’ll find a desk, 4-drawer dresser, full length mirror, and four open cubby shelves. If all of this is still not enough, you can fit another bed underneath. While this is a pricey option, the timeless design and savings on purchasing additional furniture pieces just might make it worthwhile.
