Not usually. Like modern barracks, WWI barracks used single bunk-style beds, as seen in this picture from Camp Custer in Battle Creek, MI:

In the field, of course, even standard cots were usually unavailable; bunk beds, with their greater need for structural support, were out of the question. No, military bunk beds didn't become common until WWII, when bunks were made stackable.

Answer

No. In the field most soldiers were lucky to have an often damp, muddy dugout or a shallow "funk hole," sleeping on a poncho or waterproof sheet under a dirty overcoat. Bunk beds would have been an incredible luxury.
