To get to the second bunk a ladder is used, though taller children often find other faster, more creative methods of climbing into them. The most common type is the standard bunk bed which has two same size mattresses stacked one directly over the other.

Canopy bed

A canopy bed is a decorative bed somewhat similar to a four poster bed.


A typical canopy bed usually features posts at each of the four corners extending four feet high or more above the mattress. Ornate or decorative fabric is often draped across the upper space between the posts and a solid swath of cloth may create a ceiling, or canopy directly over the bed.
