We have 3 bunk bed models that can be mixed & matched together to create your perfect bunk room. Our 3 models are the Classic, Lofted & Stackable.

ICON Standard
The ICON Standard features a timeless, classic layout handcrafted in Montana from solid red oak—using the same high-quality construction as all ICON Bunks. Customers can select their bed sizes, choose from two ladder locations, and select from three standard wood finishes. ICON Standard includes wood guardrails and a metal ladder. Additional upgrades such as painted finishes, integrated lighting, or alternative railing styles are not available in this collection.

ICON Elevated
ICON Elevated is our most popular collection, offering greater flexibility and customization. Available in three models—Classic, Lofted, and Stackable—the Elevated Collection allows you to choose from six White Oak wood finishes or a painted finish, add integrated lighting, select different railing and ladder styles, upgrade to stairs, and more. It’s designed for those who want both elevated style and personalized functionality. The Elevated collection is popular for designing a full bunk room. 

ICON Luxe
ICON Luxe represents the highest level of customization and design, available in our Classic and Lofted models. This collection features canopy-style bunks available in a 9’ and 10’ model. It includes all the customization options of the Elevated Collection—plus the ability to add lighting within the upper bunks. Luxe is ideal for creating a truly statement-making bunk room that looks built-in with refined details.

If you are buying more than one bunk bed to design a bunk room and using ladders, you can purchase each bunk bed online and pick out the appropriate ladder placement, bed size etc. All of our bunks are built at the same elevations so you can mix and match bunk sizes and layouts. 

If you are buying multiple bunk beds and want them connected with stairs - please give us a call so we can help you. With so many customizations and bed sizes available, the possibilities are endless. ICON Bunks will help you with a layout sure to wow your next guests.

ICON Bunks are easily assembled by a handyman, carpenter or homeowner. Each bunk bed comes with a detailed assembly manual and all the tools you will need. Since these are solid wood, some pieces can be heavy so we recommend 2 people. You can estimate that it will take 2 adults about 2 hours to assemble an ICON Bunk.

While ICON Bunks are designed with the comfort of adults in mind, they are suitable for children as well. ICON Bunks has gone through Consumer Safety Testing to make sure we adhere to all United States and International consumer safety standards for bunk beds.

ICON Bunks have been tested for a weight capacity up to 1,600 pounds. To watch a fun video of our entire shop on the top bunk click here.

At ICON Bunks, we know every home is different. So why should all bunk beds be the same? We are proud to offer a line of freestanding, fully customizable bunk beds. Here’s what you can customize:

• Finish Color: You can choose from 9 stained finishes (6 White Oak, 3 Red Oak), or any Ben Moore or Sherwin William paint color.

• Ladder Location: You can pick from multiple ladder locations to find the location that works best with your room.

• Safety Railing Style: You can choose from metal or wood safety railings.

• Ladder Style: You can customize your ladder - choose from a metal ladder, wood ladder or stairs with drawers.

• Bed Sizes: We offer multiple bed sizes. From Twin sized bunk beds all the way up to King sized bunk beds. The bed sizes and dimensions of all pieces are set and can not be changed. This allows us to produce these custom bunk beds with fast lead times.

Additional Customizations: Add lights, paneling, and canopy style top bunks.

When selecting a mattress, please use a mattress that is 10” thick or less. This is to ensure the safety rails are tall enough to meet US Consumer Safety Standards. ICON has partnered with a USA based mattress manufacturer to offer ICON Mattresses. Similar to ICON Bunks, they are made to order just for you. You can find them in ICON Accessories.

Our ICON Stairs feature functional drawers in every stair tread. So there are 7 drawers total. Each drawer features soft close glides. We also offer drawers underneath the bed in the Classic model (Elevated Collection). We are working to add this product to the website. In the meantime, you can contact us for a custom quote.

Yes! We offer bunk beds from Twin size all the way to King size so you can pick the size that fits best in your room. Full dimensions can be found under Resources.

ICON Bunks were designed to work with 8’ ceilings or taller. If you have an 8’ ceiling and you use an 8” mattress on the top bunk you’d have 30.75” of headspace.

*Tip: To increase that headspace, get a thinner mattress for the top bunk.

The tallest point of an ICON Standard or Elevated Bunk is 76.75”. We have detailed drawings and dimensions available here.

Bottom bunks - when used with a 10” thick mattress, you will have 42.25” of head space for the bottom bunk. If you use a thicker mattress, deduct that increased thickness from 42.25”.

Top bunks - Must use a 10” thick mattress or less. When using a 10” mattress, to find your top bunk headspace, take your ceiling height in inches and subtract 67.25”.

For a visual of this question, go to Dimensions and Specs and download the spec sheet for the model you are purchasing. There is a detailed picture showing these dimensions with more info.

Yes! As an upgrade, you can choose from any Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams color. Painted bunk beds will be a 20% sheen which is a soft, low-lustre finish. We have found this to be the most durable and easier to wipe clean.

The base price of ICON Bunks metal accents (safety rails and ladders) are a beautiful blackened metal. We also offer an upgrade to have your metal powder coated in nickel or gold. That can be found under ICON Accessories.

ICON Bunks are designed and built to meet or exceed all applicable U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and ASTM international bunk bed safety standards.

Our top bunks feature full-length safety rails on all four sides that meet or exceed required height standards. To ensure the safety rail on the top bunk meets safety standards, please use a mattress that is 10” thick or less.
