Triple bunk bed made of eco-friendly and sustainable wood

What is a triple bunk bed?

A triple bunk bed is a piece of furniture that has 3 sleeping areas. This allows you to opt for a solid wood bunk bed for example, in which 3 people can sleep, all while taking up as little space as possible. Indeed, it's often a question of space when parents decide to favour a triple bunk bed over other models of children's beds. To meet this need, there are several possible forms:

• The bunk bed with pull-out trundle bed: this solution allows for 'storing' a third bed underneath the bottom bed of a bunk bed. Installed in a drawer system, the last bed can be pulled out or stored very easily to save space and provide three comfortable sleeping areas.
• The bunk bed with 3 beds stacked on top of each other: it follows the same principle as the classic bunk bed, except that instead of having 2 beds, there are 3. This solution is suitable for children and can be very practical if 3 children share the same room.
• The triple bunk bed with a double bed: this is a solution often found when parents also occupy the bed. It consists of a double bed with a single bed installed above it. The latter therefore takes up no floor space. Parents benefit from a bed for two adults and the child has a bed all to themselves above.

Beyond the shape of the chosen triple bunk bed, there's also the style. For example, we can opt for a wooden bunk bed, but there are also beds with metal structures. Several designs and colours are also possible to choose the solution that best matches one's desires and the style of the room.

How to choose your triple bunk bed?

Choosing a triple bunk bed primarily depends on one's needs and expectations. Indeed, there is a very wide range of triple bunk beds available. The idea here is that the chosen furniture should be adapted to how it will be used daily as well as to the children's needs. Based on this, as well as the space available, we can then list the advantages and disadvantages to make our choice.

We can also consider the materials used to make the triple bunk beds that we are considering for our children's bedroom. Indeed, some furniture is more suitable than others. It is particularly recommended to opt for quality and durable materials such as solid wood and if possible FSC or PEFC certified to ensure it comes from eco-managed forests. French manufacturing is also preferable for its quality, but also for its impact on the planet. For the well-being of the youngest, we also recommend choosing furniture that only releases a low level of formaldehyde and water-based paints without solvents. By taking these criteria into account, we ensure we are opting for high-quality furniture that doesn't overly impact the environment or the children's well-being.

Finally, the budget question is also at the heart of this type of purchase. We of course recommend making your choice based on your current possibilities while keeping in mind that investing in a high-quality piece of furniture often avoids expenses a few years later. It's also important to take into account that a triple bunk bed is often sold as is and that children's mattresses will need to be purchased separately. This additional purchase should therefore be factored into your budget. That being said, if you already had a single or double bed before, it is sometimes possible to reuse the same mattress (you will need to refer to the recommendations of the chosen furniture to know if your current mattress is suitable).

The advantages of the triple bunk bed

If the triple bunk bed appeals to so many parents, it's of course because it has many advantages.

Space-saving

The first advantage we can mention is also the reason why parents turn to triple bunk beds, it's the space-saving aspect. Indeed, this piece of furniture primarily allows for stacking several beds and therefore saving space in the room. Whether it's furnishing a small children's room or simply preserving space for a play area or a desk for example, the triple bunk bed is perfectly suited.

Practical and fun

Another advantage of the triple bunk bed is that it's both practical and fun. Access to the top bed via a small ladder is often a favourite feature for children (which can even make bedtime easier). This solution is also ideal for parents in the case of a triple bunk bed with a double bed. The structure allows you to be close to your child throughout the night to reassure them, for example.

Design

Finally, we can also highlight the fact that a triple bunk bed can definitely be a design piece of furniture. By choosing a beautiful, quality piece, it can certainly give a touch of style and originality to the room!
