Bunk beds are a great pick for any family or home

Bunk beds are a versatile and practical choice for a variety of living situations, and both children and adults can use them as a place to sleep. Whether you have a small home, guest room or vacation home, bunk beds can provide the perfect solution for maximising your space. With a bunk bed, you can - depending on the specific design - double the number of beds available in the same room without having to struggle with finding enough available space to fit two separate beds or a double bed.  

Bunk beds are especially a great solution if you have a small house or apartment where space is limited, and the number of residents is rather large. But a bunk bed could also serve as an extra sleeping area in the guest room when you have friends or family staying overnight. If you own a cottage, which in many cases tends to be smaller than regular homes or accommodate more people than usual, bunk beds are often necessary if you want to make sure that everyone has a place to sleep.

Find the best bunk bed for your needs

At vidaXL, we have a wide selection of bunk beds to choose from. As such, you can most likely find a bunk bed that fits your needs or preferences. But if you’re unsure about what exactly that includes, you can find the help you need right here. To make sure that you choose a bunk bed that you can use and enjoy for years to come, there are a couple of key factors you can take into consideration when you’re looking for a new bunk bed.

The bunk bed’s size

Size is the first thing to consider when choosing a bunk bed. You need to ensure that the bed fits your space and can accommodate the people who will be using it. A bunk bed for your children versus a bunk bed for adults are, of course, quite different in size. 

To make sure you choose a bunk bed in a fitting size, remember to measure your room carefully and take the bed’s height, width and length into account. If you have a low ceiling or limited space, a low bunk bed might be the best option for you. However, if you have high ceilings, you may want to consider a high bunk bed that provides additional storage space underneath. 

The bunk bed’s material

Material is another important factor to consider when selecting a bunk bed. Metal and wood are the two most popular materials used in bunk beds, which is also what you’ll find in our selection. Metal bunk beds are your go-to pick if you prefer an option that is durable and easy to clean. With a bunk bed with a solid metal frame, you’ll most likely not experience any shaking when climbing the ladder or when you’re turning around to the other side while sleeping in the top bunk due to the construction’s excellent stability. 

Wooden bunk beds, on the other hand, provide a more traditional look and feel, which especially is a great fit for the cosy-style cottage. You can also base your choice of material on the style of your room and choose the material you believe complements it the best.

The bunk bed’s design

The bunk bed’s design serves both a functional and aesthetical purpose. At vidaXL, you can select from various designs to suit your preferences. The bunk bed with two beds stacked on top of each other is the classic design, but there are also many other options that you can discover. Some of our bunk beds have replaced the lowest bed with handy desk space. They can be a smart option if your child needs a great study area and you don’t want a separate office desk to take up space in the room. Others come with additional storage space, such as drawers or shelves, which can be helpful if you have limited space.

The bunk bed’s safety features

It’s never fun to fall out of your bed at night, especially if you’re sleeping on the top bunk. Therefore, it’s crucial to select a bunk bed with guardrails on the top bunk to prevent anyone from falling out of the bed during sleep. The bunk bed’s ladder should also be sturdy and easy to climb. Additionally, ensure that the bed is designed to accommodate the weight of the people who will be using it. 

Turn the room into a wonderful space with a bunk bed

Bunk beds are not only practical and space-saving, but they can also be a fun and creative addition to any room. There are countless ways to furnish the room with a bunk bed, and even the smallest of rooms can become something entirely magical and personal.

Make yourself feel right at home with the perfect bedding

Choosing the right bedding for your bunk bed is key to creating a cosy and inviting space. Opt for soft and comfortable materials such as cotton or linen, and choose colours and patterns that match the overall style of the room. If you're decorating the children’s room, you can go for bedding with fun and playful designs such as cartoon characters or animal prints. For a more sophisticated look, stick to solid colours or geometric patterns. But, of course, make sure to involve your children and let them decide on the style of bedding they like the best. 

Maximise your storage space

Is limited space the primary reason you want to buy a bunk bed? Then you’re likely also looking for other ways to maximise space - and perhaps one of the ways concerns storage space. Adding storage space is essential for maximising the functionality of a bunk bed. 

One way you can create extra storage space is to use the space under the lower bunk. Here, you can, for example, install drawers or shelves, or you could go for the simple solution with a bed roller. You can also hang a storage net on the side of the bed for easy access to books, toys or other items. 

Use the available space creatively 

Sometimes, creative solutions are necessary if you want to fit everything you want into a small room. A bunk bed is a great solution in this case. For example, you can use it as a multi-functional piece of furniture if you choose a bunk bed with a built-in desk. 

If there’s enough free space beneath the top bunk, you could potentially include a sofa bed, which you can easily transform into an extra sleeping area when needed. Using the top bunk as a loft bed and creating a cosy reading nook or a workspace underneath is a great way to use the space in the best creative ways.

Make the room feel truly personal

Creating a personalised space is all about adding your own touch to the room. You can 
do this by using decorative pillows, wall art or other accessories that reflect your personality and style. If you're decorating a children's room, involve your children in the process and let them choose their favourite colours and themes. This will not only make them feel more connected to the space but will also encourage their creativity and imagination.

Decorating and furnishing a room with a bunk bed can be both fun and practical. By choosing the right bedding, adding storage space, creating a personalised space and maximising the available space, you can create a cosy and functional room that suits your needs and style. 

How to ensure you can enjoy the bunk beds for many years to come

Maintaining and caring for your bunk bed is important to ensure it lasts for years to come. To keep your bunk bed in its best possible condition, you should regularly check the screws and bolts to make sure they are tight and secure. It is also a good idea to inspect the bed frame and ladder for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice any damage, make sure to fix it right away. 

Keeping your wooden bunk bed from making squeaking noises

If your bunk bed is made of wood, make sure that the humidity in the room isn’t too high, as it could make the wood expand, which will make the bunk bed squeak at even the slightest of movements. If you have ever slept in a squeaking old bunk bed with another person, you most likely know how annoying and disturbing it can be.

Take your time assembling the bunk bed

When assembling your new bunk bed, make sure that you follow the instructions carefully. Lay out all the pieces and hardware before beginning to make sure you have everything you need. It’s also helpful to have a second person to assist with the assembly. Take your time and double-check each step to ensure the bed is assembled correctly, and test the bed before you take it into use.

Take the necessary safety precautions

Securing your bunk bed is crucial for the safety of your children. Make sure to anchor the bunk bed to the wall if possible. This will prevent the bed from shaking excessively or, in the worst case, tipping over, causing potential harm. And don’t try to sleep in bunk beds that are intended for children. By following the weight limits and age restrictions for each bunk bed, no accidents will happen.

With proper maintenance, care and assembly, your new bunk bed will provide a safe and comfortable sleeping space for you or your children for years to come.
