Bunk Beds – FAQs
Why choose a bunk bed for your child?
Bunk beds are a smart way to maximise bedroom space, especially in shared rooms.
They provide separate sleep areas without taking up extra floor space, making them ideal for siblings or sleepovers.
With playful designs and practical options such as drawers, shelving and trundles, bunk beds offer the perfect balance of functionality and fun for children.
What age are bunk beds suitable for?
The upper level of a bunk bed is generally recommended for children aged six years and over, due to its height and ladder access.
The lower bunk is ideal for younger children or those who may find climbing difficult.
When choosing a bunk bed, consider your child’s confidence with climbing and always follow the manufacturer’s age and weight recommendations for safe use.
Are bunk beds safe for children?
Yes, bunk beds are built with children's safety in mind and meet the same safety standards applied to all high beds.
A quality bunk bed should include sturdy guard rails around the top bunk and secure access, such as a fixed ladder or staircase.
Make sure the mattress is the correct depth for the upper bunk and check fixings regularly to keep everything safe and stable.
Can bunk beds be separated into two single beds?
Yes, some bunk beds can be separated into single beds, offering flexibility as your children grow.
This feature is most common in traditional four-post designs, which allow the beds to be used in different layouts or even separate rooms.
When browsing, look for convertible or detachable bunk options in the product details.
What type of bunk bed is best for my child?
The best type of bunk bed depends on your child’s age, bedroom size and personal style.
Design features such as bunks that separate, triple sleepers, or models with built-in storage help maximise space and adapt as your child’s needs evolve.
For added fun, there are plenty of imaginative bunk bed designs that make bedtime more exciting and help create a room your child will love spending time in.
Do bunk beds require special mattresses?
Yes, bunk beds require mattresses that meet a specific maximum depth for the top bunk.
This ensures there’s enough clearance between the top of the mattress and the guard rail, allowing the rail to keep the sleeper safe.
As the maximum depth can vary, always check the product details or manufacturer’s guidance before buying.
