Bunk Beds Are Back

If you have multiple kids who share a room, or you have a child who likes to have a guest stay over, you could use kids bunk beds to save space while supplying plenty of room for sleeping. When you look at bunk bed furniture sets, make sure that you get a set that is well-sized for the age of the children who will use them.

If you search “bunk bed furniture stores near me”, you can find full sets that also include things like dressers and side tables. These bunk bed offers are often best during store-wide sales that may happen near the holidays.

A bunk bed set with a dresser is an easy way to outfit a room so that a child is able to have the storage and sleeping space they need. If you have multiple kids in the same room, having multiple dressers is a good way to give them their own space for their own things.

Bunk beds leave plenty of floor space for kids to do activities, and they allow for studying space as well. You can put a desk or two in the room to provide more space for studying if you choose.

Everyone loves a bunk bed. Especially kids. Almost four fifths of children say they would rather sleep in a bunk bed than in a traditional bed. And why not? It puts a climbing frame right in your very own bedroom. But the advantages of a bunk bed extend far beyond just being really really fun. Here are three more reasons to invest in a bunk bed for one or more of the bedrooms in your house.

• • Function. The core principle of a bunk bed is that it doubles the sleeping capacity while taking up the exact same horizontal footprint. But you can also use it to increase your workspace. Instead of twin bunk beds (or twin over full bunk beds), you could have a twin mattress above, and a desk beneath. Or dressers. Or a small entertainment center. Or an art table. Or a fish tank. The possibilities are endless.

• • Style. Given the extensive amount of support and framing needed for standard full over full bunk beds, the wood you use will really stand out. Luckily, modern wooden bunk beds are as stylish as they are practical, utilizing beautifully finished pieces of oak, cherry, or even mahogany, in finishes to match any existing style. Or let the bunk bed be the centerpiece, and match the furniture after the fact.

• Safety. A major concern for parents considering bunk beds is safety. Will my child fall out? Is it sturdy enough for my very active children? Many normally free standing bunk beds can be attached to wall with simple hardware. Many custom designed bunk beds are actuall built into the wall itself, providing rock solid support and stability. And if falling is a concern, twin over full bunk beds provide an easy solution. Any accidental fall from the top bunk will end up on the protruding space of the larger mattress below. This may actually ENCOURAGE jumping in more courageous children, but the landing will be safer nonetheless.
