The multiple advantages of the wooden bunk bed

If your children share a small room, you'll need to be ingenious to create a suitable space. Fortunately, there are now many solutions for furnishing small rooms, and bunk beds are one of them. So what is a bunk bed? How to choose a wooden bunk bed? Why opt for this type of furniture? We answer all your questions on the subject!

What is a bunk bed?

A bunk bed is a piece of furniture that allows you to have two sleeping spaces while occupying the space of one. Indeed, the bottom bunk is topped with a structure allowing for a second bed at height. This clever solution is ideal for optimizing space in a room. While there are many different models of bunk beds, the wooden bunk bed will be the most robust, the most durable, but also the most aesthetic.

How to choose a wooden bunk bed?

The choice of a bunk bed in wood can be made according to several criteria in order to opt for the ideal furniture:

- The dimensions: Opt for a 90x190 bunk bed or 90x200, it will thus be suitable from childhood to adulthood.

- The model type: There are different models of bunk beds such as the 3-person bunk bed or the separable bunk bed and of course the classic model.

- The materials: We recommend opting for a children's bunk bed made with quality and eco-responsible materials such as ecological wood panels, FSC certified wood (from eco-managed forests) if it's a solid wood bunk bed, solvent-free paint, etc.

- The manufacturing origin: Prefer made in France for a quality wooden bunk bed like our LEVIS 90x190 bunk bed for example.

- The brand: Preferably choose a brand specializing in furniture and more particularly in bedding and children's furniture.

By taking into account different criteria, you opt for the ideal wooden bunk bed according to your needs and preferences.

Why is it suitable for a small room?

The bunk bed is perfect for a small room. Indeed, it's not uncommon for two children to share the same room. Therefore, the space occupied by the two beds becomes significant, especially in a small room. With a bunk bed, you get two sleeping spaces while taking up the space of one. You can even opt for a 3-person bunk bed if you want an extra sleeping space. You thus preserve as much space as possible in the room to keep room for installing a small desk, a play area, a chest of drawers or other.

What age for sleeping in a bunk bed?

Before considering installing a wooden bunk bed, it's important to ensure that it actually suits your children's needs. Indeed, the bottom bunk can be occupied by a child as soon as they are old enough to leave the crib. This first bed can therefore be used by a young child. However, the top bunk is most often accessible by a ladder. Therefore, it is recommended to use it from the age of 6. Make sure that one of your two children is old enough to sleep in the top bunk before considering installing a bunk bed.

How to secure a bunk bed?

The use of a wooden bunk bed also implies taking into account some safety measures. For example, some brands recommend fixing the structure to the wall for added security. In any case, make sure to carefully follow the assembly and installation instructions provided by the manufacturer.

Moreover, the choice of mattress for the top bunk is also important. Indeed, for the guardrail to remain effective, it is necessary to respect a maximum mattress thickness. Here too, you will find the information in the manufacturer's recommendations, so make sure that the mattress used for the top bunk respects these instructions.

What are other tips for furnishing a small room?

If you have a small room to furnish, the wooden bunk bed is a very good choice, but there are many other solutions that will allow you to preserve space in the room.

The combined baby bed

The combined baby bed is perfect for the little ones. It's a baby bed associated with other furniture such as a chest of drawers, a changing table, etc. This all-in-one piece of furniture allows you to occupy minimal space and have everything necessary for the baby.

The children's loft bed

The children's loft bed is a bed positioned at height, similar to a bunk bed but without the bottom bunk. It thus allows for the installation of another piece of furniture underneath, such as a desk or a chest of drawers for example

Smart storage solutions

In a small bedroom, storage is essential. Consider using all available space for something useful. The under-bed drawer, for example, is a great way to use the space under the bed. A wardrobe also allows you to store many items by utilizing the height of the furniture.

Moreover, you can opt for storage baskets and toy chests to organize the play area, and also separate toys belonging to each child when there is room sharing between siblings.
