Who Are Bunk Beds For?
Bunk beds are ideal for children over 6 years old, teenagers, adults living in shared spaces, and guests staying overnight.
The main benefit of a bunk bed is the way it maximises floor space. Instead of two separate beds taking up the room, a bunk bed creates valuable extra space for play, storage, or study areas. For parents, this makes bedrooms tidier, more flexible, and better suited to growing children.
At Cosybunks, our range has been carefully selected for families looking for safe, durable, and stylish bunk beds that will stand the test of time. Built from strong hardwood or reinforced metal, our beds combine practicality with design, making them an investment for years to come.
Are Bunk Beds Safe for Children?
The answer is yes. Provided they are used responsibly and built to the right standard. Every bunk bed in our collection is tested to ensure safety and durability.
- The top bunk is suitable for children aged 6 and above. Younger children may be ready earlier depending on their maturity, sleeping habits, and confidence climbing in and out.
- For the top bunk, we recommend a mattress no thicker than 15 cm. This ensures that safety rails function properly, reducing the risk of rolling out.
- If you are uncertain, our friendly team is always happy to provide advice so you can choose the right bed with confidence.
- Our bunk beds comply with BS EN 747-1:2012+A1:2015, the European and British safety standard for strength, durability, and stability of bunk and high beds for domestic use.
When you shop with Cosybunks, you can be confident your child’s safety comes first.
Types of Bunk Beds
Not every family needs the same type of bunk bed. That’s why our collection includes different designs to suit your space and lifestyle:
- Single Over Double Bunk Beds. A single bed on top and a double below. Perfect for siblings of different ages, sleepovers, or when you want more room on the bottom bunk for older children or adults.
- Detachable Bunk Beds. Designed to grow with your family, these bunk beds can be separated into two standalone beds. Available in two singles or two doubles, they offer flexibility when children move bedrooms.
- Triple Bunk Beds. Three single beds stacked vertically, an excellent space-saving solution for shared rooms or holiday homes.
- Bunk Beds with Trundle. A pull-out bed hidden underneath, set on wheels for easy use. Ideal when you occasionally need an extra bed without giving up floor space.
What Materials Are Used for Bunk Beds, and Are They Sustainable Sourced?
At Cosybunks, we believe families shouldn’t have to choose between quality, style, and sustainability.
- Our wooden bunk beds are crafted from sustainably sourced Scandinavian or Eastern European timber. Many factories operate replanting schemes, so the forests continue to thrive. Wooden frames are strong, timeless, and bring natural warmth to a child’s bedroom.
- Modern, durable, and lightweight, metal bunk beds are a great choice for contemporary homes. Their minimalist look often appeals to older children and teenagers.
By choosing a Cosybunks bunk bed, you are investing in furniture that combines strength, safety, and sustainability. They're designed to make your child’s bedroom a more comfortable and practical space.
