Is a bunk bed right for my children?

What could be better than a children's bunk bed in solid wood for more strength, durability, and style! Indeed, wood has been decidedly popular in children's rooms for many years already. This success shows no signs of stopping as new trends in children's rooms show that solid wood continues to hold a special place.

So what do we call a children's bunk bed? Why choose solid wood? What are its specificities? How do you arrange a child's room with this type of bed? What solid wood models can be found at Nateo? We'll tell you everything!

Children's bunk bed: what is it?

What we call a children's bunk bed is a bed composed of two sleeping spaces, one above the other. The primary idea is obviously to save space by preventing the two beds from taking up room space. The lower bed is accessible like a regular bed, and the upper bed requires climbing a small ladder designed for this purpose.

Most often, wooden bunk beds are favored by children's furniture brands for various advantages that we'll discuss below. We most commonly talk about 90x190 bunk beds which is the standard size for a single bed. There are also different types of bunk beds:

The standard children's bunk bed, with two sleeping spaces one above the other.
The solid wood bunk bed, which has the distinctive feature of being made from solid tree wood. Such as pine, beech, birch, cedar, etc...
The separable bunk bed, where the sleeping spaces can be separated to be placed side by side, for example.
The bunk bed with storage, which as its name suggests has storage in different forms (shelves, drawers...).
The white bunk bed, as it's entirely possible to opt for painted solid wood in the desired color.
The 3-person bunk bed, which most often features a double bed below and a single bed above. The lower bed consists of a pull-out drawer (trundle bed) or a classic bed drawer.

Why choose solid wood?

If solid wood enjoys such great success, it's not without reason. It offers several advantages that are significant when choosing children's furniture:

Aesthetic: its natural color offers a very nice finish, but it can also be painted if you want to opt for color.
Sturdy: it can last for years without moving and it's not uncommon to see solid wood furniture passed down from one generation to the next.
Easy to maintain and clean: it only needs to be dusted occasionally, that's all!

Furthermore, there are woods sourced from eco-managed forests, which allows you to choose furniture with minimal impact on the planet. More sustainable, wooden furniture is therefore more responsible and offers environmentally conscious parents the opportunity to align with their values. So you can definitely opt for solid wood furniture for your children's bunk bed.

How to arrange a room with a wooden bunk bed?

Arranging a room with a solid wood children's bunk bed is very simple. The furniture configuration allows you to save space, which offers the possibility (depending on the room space) to add a dresser, desk, wardrobe, or even create a dedicated play area! If opting for assembly-required furniture, make sure the children's bunk bed is properly constructed, sturdy, and free from defects.

You can also take advantage of the children's bunk bed railings to create nice decorations by hanging pennants, a photo garland, or even string lights for example. You can also have children participate in choosing their bedding for their bunk bed so they become even more familiar with their new sleep space.
