Save space by choosing a bed with 3 sleeping spaces

Well known to parents living in small spaces or those with at least 3 children, the triple bunk bed offers the possibility for the whole family to be comfortably settled throughout the night. This bed with 3 sleeping spaces indeed offers many advantages, but you still need to know how to choose it well... So what is a triple bunk bed? What should you pay attention to when choosing this type of furniture? How do you set it up in a room for proper arrangement? We explain everything!

What is a triple bunk bed?

The triple bunk bed is, as its name suggests, a bunk bed that includes 3 sleeping spaces. This type of bed can take several forms. Most often, we talk about wooden triple bunk beds, as it is a sturdy and durable material.

In a child's room, the triple bunk bed looks a bit like a classic bunk bed. There is one bed above the other. The top bunk is accessible by a small ladder and is equipped with guardrails. The third bed is usually hidden under the bottom bunk. It is installed in a drawer and can be pulled out to deploy its legs. It is therefore a pull-out bed. When choosing a quality piece of furniture, this third bed is not just a spare bed, but a proper third bed that can be used daily.

There are also other formats of triple bunk beds for families with one child living in a small apartment. Here, it's a double bed topped with a single bed. The child therefore sleeps above the parents, which saves space.

How to choose a triple bunk bed?

For three children to be comfortably settled each evening, it's important to choose your triple bunk bed carefully. Indeed, a triple bunk bed must meet several criteria.

Materials

As mentioned, it's preferable to choose solid wood for the structure. It's a natural, robust material that lasts over time. It also allows for the creation of beautiful furniture with a modern style that's easy to match. If you want to opt for eco-responsible furniture, prioritize those with the PEFC or FSC logo. This ensures that the wood used in manufacturing the chosen triple bunk bed is sourced from eco-managed forests. Made in France is also naturally preferable.

Furthermore, some materials and manufacturing processes are more respectful of both the environment and children's well-being than others. It's recommended to choose furniture with low formaldehyde panels or water-based paint. This helps limit the presence of volatile organic compounds.

Shape and style

Regarding shape and style, the choice should primarily be based on your needs. If space is limited, you can opt for a triple bunk bed with storage. It can also be important to ensure that the installation system for the third bed of your wooden triple bunk bed is easily accessible and user-friendly. In terms of style, there are many models on the market. You'll have no trouble finding one that matches your children's room style.

It's also important to note that, most often, only the furniture and bed bases are provided. Mattresses must therefore be purchased separately.

Arranging a room with a triple bunk bed

Once you've chosen your model, all that's left is to install it and arrange the rest of the room. The idea here will most often be to think carefully about the space to avoid any waste of space. Generally, you'll install your triple bunk bed against a wall. As it is a tall piece of furniture, some brands actually recommend fixing the structure to the wall for added safety (refer to your model's instructions).

Then, you can organize the rest of the room around the bed. Storage space will often be needed with a chest of drawers and/or wardrobe. You can also consider creating a play area in the room. If space permits, adding a small desk to share in turns can be a good choice.
