Should be Strong and Sturdy
Bunk beds for kids may not be needed to have the strength of a bunk bed for an adult. You have more pounds and are heavier so you need a bed that will support your weight all night long, and still offers you a peaceful, comfortable, and ample time to rest.
Besides being able to accommodate the desired weight, it also should be easy to assemble, be strong, durable, and of high quality. This comes down to choosing your manufacturer or constructor. Make sure to present the accurate measurements and communicate your requirements well.
Your Requirements

The size
For children, it may not be necessary. But for an adult, you may be required to take accurate measurements to get the right size that will fit you comfortably.

Consider Safety
Safety should always come first before you start even making the other considerations. There are many factors and features that come into play when you think about safety. First and foremost, you want to get one with the correct size; one that will be able to accommodate both your height and weight comfortably.
Other safety features include side rails if need be. You can also choose one with end rails or safety rails all around. You also want to follow the weight guidelines, make sure the bed is strong enough for the user. The mattress is also a factor not just for comfort but safety as well. Choose the recommended thickness.
Your Room Style and Design
The last tip is to choose one that will complement the furniture in the room. You also want to consider if there are any color pallets you are keen on, whether the room has a modern theme, and of course the arrangement and how you anticipate the bed to fit in your room. Bunk beds are also meant to add an element of style to the room.
