Bunk beds and loft beds make great choices beds for teen boys. They’re sturdy, practical, and come in a wide variety of colors and materials, so they can be a constant in a room that may change styles several times as your teen boy grows.

Futons

Futons are a great choice for smaller bedrooms. Your teen boy can make the futon his bed at night and then transform it into a sofa during the day, so he has a seating area in his room (and we all know how much time teenagers like to spend in their rooms!). Futons come in an array of materials, colors, and style and are functional, yet not fussy - just right for a bed for a teen boy. For parents, the price is right. Futons come in wide range of prices designed to fit just about any budget. When it’s time for your teen boy to leave home, futons fit in well in college dorms and first apartments. Here are a few futons to help you start your search:

• The McKinley by Futons Now

• The Downtown by Futons Now

• Jetson Cherry Futon Frame by The Futon Shop

• Dillon Wall Hugger Futon Frame by The Futon Shop

Other Ideas

While there are plenty of bed frame styles designed with teen girls in mind, the way to jazz up beds for teen boys may not be so much about the bed frame as it is about the bed coverings. Let your teen boy express himself by picking out his bedding. Some popular colors for teen boys’ rooms are:

• Navy
• Red
• Hunter Green
• Gold
• Brown/Tan

Another option for bedding for teen boys is to choose a bedspread that represents a hobby or interest, or that helps create a theme for the bedroom. Ideas include:

• Camouflage
• Sports Teams/Sport Themes
• Hunting Motif
• Surfing Motif
• Nautical Motif

These themed bedding choices of course run the risk of falling out of favor with your teenager in a short amount of time, with their rapidly changing tastes. These choices also are not likely to make the transition into adulthood well. If this is a concern, but your teen wants to incorporate some of these elements into their room, consider plain bedding with accent pieces that feature their motif of choice. For instance, pillows that feature their favorite sports teams are easily removed when they decide they want a more “grown up” for their room.

Here are some bedding options your teen boy might enjoy:

• NFL Collection by Pottery Barn Teen

• Preppy Guy Bed in a Bag by Target

• Surf Guy Bedding by Target
