Bunk Beds
Bunk Beds
A bunk bed is a favourite piece of furniture for most children, as it turns bedtime into great fun. At night, it provides a place to sleep, while during the day it is a place to play. This functional piece of furniture will be a brilliant solution for small children's or youth rooms. It provides two separate sleeping areas for siblings, using only the space needed for a single bed. This means space-saving of at least 2 square metres.

Are bunk beds safe for kids?

How to use a top bunk bed safely?
To ensure that no harm will come to your kids, make sure to follow these safety guidelines:
- Use the top bunk only for sleep, and limit playing to the bottom bunk
- Do not allow children under 6 years of age to use the top bunk
- Always use the ladder when entering and leaving the upper bunk
- Allow only one child at a time on the top bunk
- Regularly check if no screws are loose
To make using the bed more comfortable, you may also consider installing a night light in the room. That would make night trips to the bathroom safe. Remember to place the bed away from the window, preferably next to the wall. Carpeted floors will provide a comfortable landing, and if you place a rug by the bed, remember to use anti-slip backing with it.
Choose a suitable kid's mattress, which will guarantee a calm and healthy sleep.
Are there bunk beds with storage?
Bunk beds with integrated storage solutions offer a practical and stylish way to maximise space in a child's bedroom. The frame might come with under-bed drawers, built-in shelves or even staircase storage. The under-bed drawers are the most common choice because of the easy access even for children. These drawers provide ample storage for bedding, toys, clothes, or books, keeping the room tidy and organised.
