A bunk bed for three is a great option, especially in the event that you plan to use the lower bunk as an office or playroom during the day.
Most bunks have a ladder built into the frame or a staircase leading to the top bunk. The ladder's elevation should not exceed 5-6 feet from the ceiling to ensure safety. This will stop heads from bumping and ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk doesn't sleep too high.
