Existing bunk beds with wardrobe and their characteristic features

Types of children's beds on two levels

Everyone's concept of a bunk bed is different. Most consist of two ordinary berths on a metal or wooden frame.

Of course, most beds are like this, but no one bothers you to diversify the interior of a children's room with a bunk bed, use your imagination and “play” with space.

Do not confuse a bunk bed, where there are two sleeping places, with a loft bed, where one child can sleep. Typically, in such models, the sleeping area is located at the top, and either a play area or storage space is located below.

So, we can note the main types of children's beds in two levels:

1. The sleeping places are located one above the other ;
2. In the shape of the letter Z - the lower tier is slightly offset relative to the upper. More often, such placement can be seen in beds with a roll-out lower tier.
3. In the shape of the letter L - the headboards of both berths form an L-shaped corner.

The first type of bed is a design where both sleeping places are located strictly one under one.

Often such beds are made of a metal or wooden frame, without frills or special decor. The disadvantage of such a two-level bed is that it is ordinary - in fact, it is just two sleeping places with no drawers for storing things.

But such models are quite inexpensive and will come to the rescue of those parents who need a budget solution for sleeping for two children.

Sometimes children, especially those of the same age, can argue about dominance - who will sleep on the top tier. Usually, parents either make the decision themselves, separating the children, or allow the children to periodically change places.

Z-shaped bunk beds are a design where the lower berth is located with some offset relative to the upper one.

Most often, this is an ordinary children's bed, where the lower tier extends like storage boxes, but instead of niches there is a mattress for sleeping. The advantage of such models is. that they are compact; if necessary, the lower level is hidden and the room becomes more spacious.

The disadvantage lies in the lack of a place to rest for the second child during the daytime.

In addition to retractable structures, there are also two-level beds, where the sleeping places are shifted not across, but along relative to each other. In this case, a chest of drawers or a linen closet is placed in the resulting free space on the lower level.

L-shaped beds with two tiers are a structure of two beds located perpendicular to each other.

It is more convenient to place such a bed in the corner of the room, and place a chest of drawers, cabinets or other furniture for storing things in the free space under the upper tier.

Two-tier designs of children's furniture

In the furniture industry, in products for children, not only the design is thought through, but also the quality of materials, fittings and fasteners. Transformation systems in the form of drawers and ladders operate in a mode accessible to small owners, with safe and strong fastening of all parts.

Different models of bunk beds differ not only in size, but also in design features. Conventionally, they can be divided into several types. The classic model consists of two stationary places; a ladder in various variations leads to the upper tier - these can be vertical crossbars with railings or drawers for clothes arranged in descending order of size.

There are also many convertible models. In some of them, the lower tier bed can turn into a comfortable sofa for games.

For rooms with low ceilings, a pull-out bed with two berths is suitable. There are also two-level transformers, in which the lower half serves as a table during the daytime.

Furniture walls in which the beds are not located vertically, but offset, are also convenient, and under the second level there is a convenient closet for children's things or a desk. Similar corner designs are a wonderful find for saving space.

Materials for making bunk beds

The most environmentally friendly, safe and fairly durable material for making children's beds has always been and remains wood. Pine or oak are considered ideal options; beech and birch can be alternative types of wood.

Wooden surfaces can be painted in absolutely any color, perfectly fitting the design into the overall interior concept.

Now on sale you can find economy class bunk beds made of chipboard or MDF. The first option is far from ideal for a children's room, since it contains formaldehyde, which will evaporate in small doses in the room. The second one is more preferable, stronger and safer than particle boards, and you can choose any color for painting MDF.

The most practical material for making bed frames, be it an adult or a children's model, is metal.

Beauty and aesthetics in such models are always inferior to strength and reliability, but parents can be sure that the bed will serve their children for many years. Especially when it comes to boys who love not only to climb onto the top tier, but also to jump on it.

On sale you can also find combined models in which the frame is made of metal, but there are colored inserts made of wood or MDF.

Bunk bed: selection criteria

Beds arranged in two tiers are mainly used in children's rooms where two or more children live. The obvious need to save useful space is relevant not only for small-sized children's rooms; in medium-sized and large-sized rooms, parents also try to leave as much free space as possible for active games, creative arts and sports. But at the same time. A bunk bed should not only effectively save the usable space of the room, but also serve as a comfortable and ergonomic sleeping place for children.

So, a bunk bed should be:

• made of high-quality material, durable and natural;
• have a manufacturer’s certificate, which indicates not only the technological characteristics of the product, but also the maximum height and weight of children;
• the model must be practical (after all, we are mainly talking about a children’s room), comfortable, and comply with the rules of ergonomics (orthopedics will be the responsibility of not so much the bed frame itself as the base and mattress);
• the bed must be stable - check the assembled model in the store for swaying, because children will give a new piece of furniture a real “crash test”;
• the children should like the bed and correspond to the chosen design style of the child’s room (often these criteria are difficult to meet and, as an alternative to ready-made solutions, parents have to resort to individually making a bed in two tiers);
• The last condition on the list, but one of the first in importance, is that the bed must be safe (the upper berth must be equipped with protective sides, the ladder must have an inclination and comfortable steps, it is desirable to have a handrail or handles for convenient support while moving between levels of the bed).

What to consider when choosing a bunk bed

In addition to the type and material from which the structure will be made, it is also worth considering several more requirements when purchasing:

• High quality processing. The model must be able to withstand the planned weight and be designed for a certain age of children. In addition, we must not forget about processing - edges and corners must be carefully sealed, cleaned and processed.

There should be no burrs, uneven or sharp edges.

• The presence of sides on the upper tier. We deliberately indicated this requirement separately - such protection should prevent a child from falling at night from a height of at least 1.5 m. The height of the side should not be less than 25 cm.
• Dimensions of the sleeping place and the bed itself. Typically, such designs are purchased for children for a long time, so the dimensions should be such that children do not “grow” out of the bed. The optimal width will be 80-90 cm, length - 1.90-2.00 m.
• Durability and reliability of the design. Such characteristics largely depend on the material. Also, when choosing, you need to pay attention to the fastenings; therefore, the bed should not sway or wobble, withstanding significant loads from little fidgets.

Reliability requirements also apply to the stairs leading to the upper tier.

• Distance between tiers. A child sleeping on the lower level should be able to sit quietly without banging their head on the upper level. The upper “floor” should also not be located too high so that the child does not touch the ceiling with his head.
• Color and design. The bed should not look like an unnecessary element in the interior of the nursery. You also need to take into account the gender of the children. For girls, give preference to pastel shades, for boys - more saturated ones.

If it is assumed that there will be a bunk bed for two children of different sexes, then you should limit yourself to universal colors that match the overall interior.

• Easy to assemble. You should always be able to move the bed to another location. There are various situations in life when it is necessary to rearrange or remove furniture. Therefore, you should be able to take the bed apart and reassemble it.

Basic options for bunk beds

These pieces of furniture have their own classification, which is primarily related to the functional purpose of the products. Therefore, all bunk beds can be divided into several categories.

For two children

This design provides a pair of full-fledged sleeping places with minimal use of room space. In most cases, the eldest child sleeps upstairs and the youngest sleeps downstairs.

There are several options for such bunk beds:

• ordinary or classic: one floor is located above the other, with a staircase on the side;
• with a shift to the left or to the right: here one bed relative to the other is shifted to one side - this allows you to arrange a wardrobe, cabinet or other piece of furniture in the freed-up space;
• perpendicular: the lower tier relative to the upper is located at an angle of 90 degrees: such a design makes it possible to place a desk or something else in an empty space.

For a child with a parent

These designs are usually used in small-sized residential premises. There are two options for bunk beds:

1. the upper tier is intended for a child, and the lower one is a sleeping place for an adult;
2. upstairs there is a sleeping place for the parent, downstairs for the son or daughter (safer option).

For two boys

What could be special here? It is worth turning to thematic design: a bunk bed can be made in the shape of a car, ship or train, which will surely cause the admiration of both future men. You can also choose a model with a slide or rope (sports style).

But it is worth remembering that such structures require a considerable area to be placed.

For girls

Here the design is completely different, especially in terms of color choice. It should be soft: it is recommended to give preference to pastel shades. The structure itself can be designed in the form of a small house, with “windows” at the ends. Inside the first tier, you can hang drawings of girls on the wall.

It is important that the design fits into the overall design of the room.

For children of different sexes

Quite often, the opinions of a girl and a boy about what their sleeping place should be like do not coincide. One of the possible designs is beds located perpendicularly. Therefore, it is logical to design each tier individually. You can attach a shelf with toys for a boy at the top of the wall, and for a girl at the bottom of the structure.

Bed linen is soft pink, beige if it is intended for a young lady, and bright (blue, green) if it will be used by a future man.

For children of different ages

This is also a difficult option. But here at least you can ask the older child to give in to the younger one. The type of bunk bed design can be any: classic, offset to the side or perpendicular. The older child usually sleeps on the upper tier: he is interested in using the stairs (it can be built-in), which is dangerous for the younger one.

It is also worth thinking about spacious drawers for things. The best option is to buy a bunk bed with a small wardrobe.

For teenagers

Here, the purchase must initially be discussed with its occupant(s). There are several reasons why teenagers like bunk beds:

• the opportunity to visit a childhood fairy tale again;
• transformation of the lower part into a comfortable sofa (in some models), on which you can sit with friends.

Some models come as a set with cabinets or a wardrobe, which seriously saves the family budget. There are also beds that even come with orthopedic mattresses, which is important for a teenager’s developing spine. If there is only one “user” of the structure in the family, then the best option is to purchase a product where the lower part is a desk equipped with retractable drawers.

Often, such a bed is also equipped with a small shelf on which you can place the items you need for studying.

Loft bed for one child

This category of products is usually purchased by parents who have a small children's room. There are several options:

1. The lower part of the structure is a workplace: table, chair, shelves. A staircase leads upstairs, sometimes consisting of a series of steps-boxes in which you can conveniently place your child’s things.
2. The bottom of the bed is a storage system. In this case, the lower “floor” is entirely intended for toys and other items located in cabinets and chests of drawers.
3. An option using the lower part of the structure to create a play area or a mini sports ground.

Several original photo examples.

With a slide

Thanks to the gentle slope, which is a kind of attraction, it is possible not only to add variety to the gameplay, but also to endow the environment with a special personality for children.

With a table

The design, combined with a desk, allows you to save useful space and create a truly cozy and functional corner.

With stairs

For a more comfortable and safe climb, children's bunk beds are equipped with a side, front ladder or steps.

With drawers

Due to the drawers, it is possible to complement the design of a two-story product and organize an additional system for storing clothes, toys, bed linen, etc.

The photo shows a white bunk bed equipped with drawers in a girls’ nursery.

With a sofa

With this design, you can achieve a more rational layout of the children's room, save square meters and place other furniture items in it.

With wardrobe

It combines two pieces of furniture at once, which is a very convenient and ergonomic solution, especially for small spaces.

The photo shows a children's room for boys and a blue bunk bed combined with a built-in wardrobe.

What types of bunk beds can be distinguished?

The purpose of such beds is to rationally use the limited area of ​​the room and create sleeping places for children. Modern bunk models can be designed for several children, one child, a child and parents.

Today there are the following options for bunk beds for children:

• A standard classic bed with two sleeping places, one of which is located above the other. These are just beds without additional attributes in the form of storage shelves, drawers, and cabinets. The disadvantage of such a bed in a small room is that it takes up a lot of space and is not very practical - it is just a place to sleep.

However, if the area of ​​the room allows you to purchase this option, then you should not refuse it.

Beds in which the sleeping places are also located one above the other, but at the same time there are steps in the form of retractable drawers for things and there is a place for storing bedding. This bed model is appropriate for small children's rooms; it captivates with its compactness and ability to rationally use the room.

The next type is sleeping places in which the upper place is not located directly above the lower one, but to the left or right. The resulting niche may contain a cabinet, shelves, or an empty wall, which the owners themselves will fill at their discretion.

Beds placed crosswise or perpendicularly. This option is both modern and very convenient: you can put a cabinet in the free space, hang shelves, or put a small table.

A compact and interesting option for children is a transforming bed, in which the lower berth is pulled out at night and removed after sleep, freeing up space in the room.

Bunk beds for boys

Most designs of so-called “2-story” furniture have a neutral design. There are models with a distinct “boyish” appearance. They usually don't have a wardrobe, but they do have a computer space or work area.

Children of different ages have their own ideas about the aesthetics of furniture, which is taken into account when purchasing. If tastes and desires do not coincide, they give preference to a neutral style and finish (natural wood or a facade painted in a calm tone).

The most suitable varieties for schoolchildren are those with a workplace under the upper level. There are options with a large U-shaped table and movable modules, which is convenient for 2-3 children.

Options for bunk beds with sports equipment are purchased for active children involved in sports activities. Such equipment will encourage even passive children to climb the stairs to the 2nd floor to the bed and go down the slide.

Supplement ropes, slats, bars and other sports surroundings with exercise equipment.

Bunk beds for girls

Girls have a lot of clothes, so look for children's furniture with plenty of sections for clothes. Based on the design, it is easy to determine that this is a 2-level bed for girls. The decoration does not necessarily have to include pink color or prints depicting dolls, princesses or little mermaids.

There are designs with retractable modules and many shelves for dolls and drawers for clothes. When buying furniture for 2-3 daughters, it is important to choose models that have plenty of space for clothes. Each girl's things should be stored separately.

A transformer that turns from a sofa into a bunk bed is a rare option.

Such models do not have space for storing things, but this is convenient for a dacha or grandparent’s apartment, where children come on vacation. If children of different sexes have a common play and learning space, the furniture should be light and neutral in design.

A double children's bed is an excellent solution for zoning space. Often, a family is limited by the layout of the apartment, and the bunk option is the only place to organize sleep and rest for children.

It should combine a maximum of functions, while some of the planes should be moving.

If there is not enough space in a 1-room apartment, you can use the services of companies that make built-in furniture. A great way to save space is the upper tier for children, and in the niche there is space for the mother’s bed.

Design of multi-level furniture

Bunk furniture is every child's dream, and it is not necessary that it be used by two children at the same time. In children's rooms with one owner or mistress, such multi-level structures combine a sleeping area and an area for games and relaxation.

There are also options with two bunk beds, mirrored and connected by a common ladder. This is an ideal choice for two or three children, who can use the free tiers as they please.

In the case when the grown-up owners leave the children's bed, it is easy to transform it with your own hands, turning the vacant space in the bunk bed into a playroom for the younger ones or equipping it with modular cabinets.

Curtains and additional sides can transform the bed into a ship or a tower for a princess. There are also interesting design solutions for cases where a story-based play area is created on the lower level in the form of a fire engine or steam locomotive, with a sleeping area on the roof.

Bunk beds themselves are a good exercise machine for children. They can be additionally equipped with sports equipment: ropes, horizontal bars, elastic bands. Little ones will be delighted by the children's slide, which you can go down right from the bed.

A minimalist wall with an unusually high sleeping place will satisfy the original taste of any teenager. An original idea - placing the lower berth level with the floor can appeal to children of any age.

Organizing the daily life of children at different levels of the room requires appropriate lighting that will not interfere with the upper tier and will provide sufficient light below.

Types of bunk beds

The designs of these products can be very diverse: manufacturers have tried to take everything into account, and therefore the choice on the market for this type of furniture is quite extensive. What is on offer?

Bed with wardrobe

This design will arouse interest in both boys and girls. The former will be happy to put their suits and various accessories in the closet, and the latter - their outfits. There is another important function of the described piece of furniture - maintaining order in the children's room, where scattered things are quite common.

The closet is most often located at the end of the bed, sometimes under the upper tier. There are also special models - two-tier designs with a corner cabinet, which is convenient for a small room.

Bed with sofa

A very convenient option for small living spaces.

The lower part of the structure easily “turns” into a sofa; at its end there is a staircase leading to the second tier. Manufacturers also offer models where the sofa transforms into a bed, located perpendicular to the upper bed, and in the free space on the right or left there is a table with shelves.

Beds with play or work areas

In the first case, you will buy a real gift for the baby: there is a bed at the top, and downstairs there can be everything that the child likes: a playground with his favorite toys on the shelves or a house in which the kids happily climb into to play games.

Along with the stairs, there is a slide leading up, which is used as an attraction. In the second case, the lower part contains a desktop and everything necessary for studying.

Transformers

This type of furniture also applies to bunk beds. There are several options here:

• a design where the lower tier rolls out from under the upper one: such furniture is suitable for children under 6 years of age;
• models that, if necessary, transform into a bunk bed with a pair of sleeping places. If desired, you can make a sofa from the bottom one.

Bunk beds in a small apartment

The ability to climb a ladder to the top tier of a bed can make any child happy. All the free time of preschoolers is devoted to active games, schoolchildren - to classes; their environment should be comfortable and safe. Nothing can bring so much happiness to children as a room furnished in the form of a fairy-tale house, an example is in the photo.

Green bunk bed

There are different ways to equip a place for children to relax in a small apartment. When you have two children of different sexes or different ages, you can’t put them to sleep on a pull-out sofa. The best solution is to get a children's bunk bed that can make their owners happy.

Design Tips:

• When purchasing, take into account the layout of the room and the possibility of placing the selected model in the limited space allocated for these purposes.
• To the dimensions of two-level furniture, add space for a ladder and retractable modules to evaluate the space. The parent's sofa should not be folded out here or other furniture should be moved here.
• The length of the beds should be generous - children grow quickly, and a place to “grow up” allows you to not think about changing the environment for several years.

  
  Bunk bed in the interior of the room

• Consider the material. In a darkened room on the north side, it is better to install a metal structure that will not clutter up the space, as happens with wooden structures and solid facade doors.
• The functionality of universal modules varies, and the choice should be based on the need to combine beds with a wardrobe, table, and drawers for small items.
• If children of different sexes have a common play or study space, and they sleep in different rooms, limit yourself to a model where one is a loft bed.

Bunk bed made of solid wood
When purchasing, parents pay attention to price tags (promotions, discounts) and design. Of course, the idea of ​​buying a bunk bed will make your son or daughter happy. But it’s better to look at 3-4 options, giving them the opportunity to choose for themselves. It is especially important to resolve the issue of choice with teenagers who are jealous of the appearance of their personal space.

Bed design

They differ in design, length, width of beds, location of stairs, floor height, colors. The classic two-level one is made of wood, has a simple shape, and very modest decorative design.

It is complemented by a real slide, a small sports area with rings, swings, and a rope.

When there are a lot of children and the ceiling height allows, a third floor is built, but in this case the structure is firmly attached to the wall. A structure completely without legs is convenient for the little ones, but then you should choose a thick enough mattress and think about additional floor heating.

Two hanging beds are attached directly to the wall and have no legs. The staircase is also mounted on the wall and consists of ledges and niches. These cribs in a cramped bedroom are made folding. Or the upper tier can be suspended, the lower one can stand on legs.

The second "floor" is often suspended from the ceiling while being attached to the wall.

Many companies offer complex designs that combine two or three sleeping places, a computer, a desk, a compact wardrobe, hanging shelves, etc.

If it is not possible to find a model that matches the design in stores, then it is made independently, to order, according to individual sizes and sketches.

High-tech style

The high-tech style is well suited for a nursery to grow into. Pure hi-tech is acceptable for a boys’ room; the interior of a girls’ bedroom is “diluted” with elements of Provence - a small amount of light draperies in pastel colors.

A crib made in this style will be partially or entirely made of shiny metal and will have built-in chrome lamps.

In general, the room will become multifunctional, almost all the furniture can be transformed. The preferred colors are silver, beige, cream with the addition of black and red.

Romantic style

This design direction is ideal for a girls’ room - an abundance of textiles, frills, flounces, cute pillows, animals in pastel colors. The bed itself can be wooden, made of chipboard, made in light colors, have smooth outlines, a small amount of decor in the form of painting with flowers, gradient tints.

When decorating a “romantic” boys’ bedroom, you should add darker tones and elements of loft, industrial, marine or other styles to the interior.

When choosing the style of the room, you should at least partially take into account the children’s opinion on this matter, trying to please everyone as much as possible.

Eco style

An eco-style bed is made from solid wood, preferably with a complex fiber pattern. The design can be a two-story “house”, where each child will have a separate “nest” in which he can retire.

The sides are covered with thick curtains with floral patterns; decorative windows can be cut at the ends.

The design welcomes a large number of homemade toys and decorative items. Some places in the nursery are stylized to resemble the natural environment - a ladder is made from strong driftwood, and a swing is hung from the same crossbar as from a twig. It is better to choose tea, plant, and warm colors.

If the children's area is located in a cramped studio apartment, the bed can also be separated from the rest of the room by long curtains.

Minimalism

Minimalism is characterized by the simplest possible contours, a limited number of colors, and an almost complete absence of decor. The bed will be simple, but sophisticated, preferably built-in, with plain pastel linen, a ladder of a clear, regular shape, without any unnecessary details or inserts.

All the other furniture in the room is also chosen to be extremely simple, preferably matte, plain, without “bells and whistles”.

Children of different genders and ages will be comfortable in this interior. A small number of bright color accents are welcome; combinations of black and white, yellow and purple, orange and green are preferred.

Features of tiered furniture

When the children's room is small in size, parents often choose a room design with a bunk bed to decorate it. Buying such furniture allows you to rationally use the space of the room. It has its own design capabilities. She has one sleeping place above the other.

This allows you to solve the issue of accommodating two children while maintaining the necessary comfort for each.

There are shelves, drawers, built-in wardrobes. The appearance of such models fits well into any thematic concept; you can play with it and add details that can emphasize the chosen style.

The cost of finished products is affordable for many. Modern technologies make it possible to make bunk beds as safe and easy to use as possible. There is no need to be afraid that the child will fall from the second floor, there are sides, they will not allow anyone to fall out of the sleeping place.

A staircase with wide steps leads to the second floor. It has handrails. And this also enhances the safety of the overall structure.

Three points (the heavy weight of the bed, the presence of stairs, a sleeping place at the top) are considered the weakest points of bunk furniture. When purchasing it, you need to pay attention to how well the safety of using the item is thought out. Manufacturers with a good reputation in the market do not skimp on materials, fasteners, or fittings; they produce truly high-quality products.

But to find it on the market, you need to learn to understand the existing assortment.

Several models of bunk beds for adults

Even the most pessimistic readers of this topic, who believe that multi-level models belong only in children’s rooms, will probably change their minds after looking at the bedroom designs presented below.

The stylish design of such furniture allows them to be successfully used in elegant bedrooms, both as comfortable places to sleep and relax, and in the form of a non-standard and effective design of space.

Intricate designs can even become delightful room decorations, allowing you to take a fresh look at such furniture. And, as mentioned earlier, such a furnishing scheme can even be found in some hotels and campsites.

Agree that multi-bed rooms equipped with bunk beds are the best shelter for a large traveling company.

Ideas for additional decoration

It happens that you have to make cosmetic repairs in a room, change the mood in it at the request of the child. In order to avoid spending money on buying new furniture in such situations, you should initially choose bunk beds with a universal design.

Their body has simple, clear lines; the color of the furniture does not attract attention. To prevent it from being boring in the interior, you can modify it a little: attach shelves and bright plastic toy boxes to it.

Designers, talking about how to decorate a bunk bed, advise filling the space inside it with bright mattresses and pillows. The light above each sleeping place is another way to play up the space of each tier in a different way.

Lighting, wall sconces, spotlights - all this will help create a special atmosphere.

Paintings on the walls, photographs in frames - the interior of a nursery with a bunk bed always benefits from the presence of such little things. It becomes softer, more comfortable, more attractive. His style becomes clearer. Which also has a positive effect on the appearance of the room itself.

You can improve the furnishings, select ladders, hang them from the second tier onto the first rope, install a slide, a steering wheel, and turn the second berth into the deck of a ship.

Selection rules

To make a bunk bed look organic in your interior, it is important to purchase the right model. Its design must fit into the style of the room, its design must be safe, and its design must be appropriate for the child’s age.

There are other features that are worth paying attention to:

• Only children over six years old can sleep on the second floor. If this condition cannot be met, other options must be chosen.

• There must be a safe ladder near the bed. This is considered to be a flat model, one that has railings, non-slip steps, a convenient design, and reliable and durable fastenings.

The distance between the sleeping places may vary, but it should be comfortable. This is considered the distance at which the second sleeping place is higher than the head of a child sitting on the first floor.

The same segment is considered the minimum possible when determining the distance between the second berth and the ceiling.

The ideal height of the limiter is 35 cm; it is difficult to find a model with such a height today. Manufacturers are trying to save money. You should not buy a bed with a height limiter less than 20 cm. This may be unsafe for the person sleeping upstairs.

One simple test will allow you to check the strength of the bed. Right in the store, an adult should try to climb onto the second floor and move his body there a little.

If the furniture did not creak or wobble, if everything remained in place, the strength of the bed passed the test.

It is important to pay attention to the base on which the mattress rests. It can be panel or lamella. In the second case, horizontal wooden planks act as the lower ceiling.

Their presence ensures ventilation of the sleeping area, which is an important addition in the case of children.

Features and benefits of bunk beds for boys

A bunk bed for boys is a structure consisting of two floors, each of which is a sleeping place.

Bunk beds are often confused with loft beds. Although the latter have only one bed - the top one, while the two-tier design is always equipped with two or more beds.

The advantages of using such furniture in the boys' room are:

• saving space by placing two beds at once in one area, the ability to free up space for children’s games and leisure;
• the ability to combine the sleeping area with any other: work, play, storage system;
• the original design allows you to create an original, stylish interior in the children's room that boys will love;
• affordable price. Buying one bunk bed will cost you less than buying two or three traditional beds.
