Your bunk bed options explained! Your bunk bed options explained!

When you read the word bunk bed, what is the first thing that comes to mind? We bet it’s something fun! This is because bunk beds are normally associated with things like camp, sleepovers with buddies, and childhood jollification in general. Think flashlights, sneaky late-night snacks and spooky stories. Everything that makes kidhood great. 


Here are a few of the top reasons why we LOVE bunk beds: 


It Saves a Load of Space! 

This is great for smaller bedrooms, kids’ rooms in which you want to leave plenty of room for play, as well as hospitality set-ups where you want to accommodate people at a more cost-effective rate per stay. For the same reason, it works well for spaces like military bases, residences, etc. 


Kids Love It

When a child loves their bed, they are far more inclined to get (and stay!) in it at night. As such, it’s a great option for parents who might have kiddos that need some extra incentive to sleep in their own beds.


It’s Very Affordable

Bunk beds offer buyers a lot of bang for their buck, especially when you buy from a reputable bed shop that seeks out the best brands and prices on your behalf. 


There Are Plenty of Options

Bunk beds come in a variety of sizes and configurations to suit different needs. This includes: 


Steel bunks: These are simple to maintain and suit most spaces. It also offers a little extra security in the form of a safety rail and side ladder.

Double bunk beds: This variety is quite stylish and streamlined, yet equally practical. 

Triple bunk beds: Amazing for when you really need to save on space in a BIG way. 

Wooden bunk beds: The ideal option if you want to add a dash of warmth and polish to your interior decor. 

Tri-bunks: Double bed below, single bed up top - super for families and/or spare rooms where you want to accommodate a variety of guests. 


TOP TIP! The one tricky thing about bunk beds is making them! I.e. getting them covered in bedding. Fortunately, there are ways to make it simpler. For one thing, it helps to invest in a sturdy step-stool and to ditch flat sheets in favour of fitted sheets. Here’s a handy video that shares a few more tricks of the trade when it comes to putting linen on bunk beds and/or loft beds.
