Children's bunk bed, which one to choose?

The children's bunk bed appeals to both young and old. Comfortable, practical, space-saving... There are many good reasons to install one in your children's bedroom. But which one should you buy among all the existing models? Let's look together at the criteria to consider when choosing a wooden bunk bed for children.

What is a children's bunk bed?

The bunk bed is a children's sleeping solution that is both practical and space-saving. Its principle remains simple, allowing two mattresses to be stacked using a supporting structure. It also includes a ladder for climbing up and down.

Some models are separable bunk beds and can be converted into 2 single beds as children grow older.

Other models, however, are without storage to make the furniture even more practical and functional. At Nateo Concept, the MANLY bunk bed with storage is the model that helps optimise space in your children's bedroom.

Choose a quality bunk bed

Quality is essential to ensure your children's safety. Who would invest in a bed where a child might get hurt or sleep poorly? That's why we recommend choosing a solid wood bunk bed. Solid, sturdy and comfortable, you can sleep soundly knowing your little ones are safe.

Depending on your children's age

Generally, your child may be ready to sleep in a raised bed from age 6. At least, it is very important that they are able to climb up and down the ladder without falling.

If one of your children is still young or apprehensive about climbing the ladder, we recommend having them sleep in the lower part of the bed.

As for older children, the bunk bed can perfectly suit them. The solid wood models are robust and can support up to 130 kg. They are large enough to accommodate tall children or young teenagers.

Consider the bunk bed dimensions

Bunk bed models can have different dimensions. That's why you need to pay attention to your child's room dimensions. To ensure the bed doesn't take up too much space, remember to carefully measure the available space.

For your child to sleep comfortably, it's preferable to have enough space between the bed base and the ceiling. Make sure to leave enough room for them to get up and sit in their bed without hitting their head or having to twist their neck.

Choosing bedding for a bunk bed

Bunk beds are mostly composed of 2 or 3 children's beds with simple bed bases. For bedding, you can choose classic children's bedding in 90x190 cm or 90x200 cm. Most bunk bed models are manufactured in these standard dimensions.

To ensure your child is comfortable in their bed regardless of their size, choose a children's mattress with a maximum thickness of 16 cm. A mattress that's too thick would make sleeping uncomfortable, or even dangerous.

Save space

The children's bunk bed will allow you to save a lot of space, especially if you have multiple children sleeping in it. It allows you to use just one piece of furniture for everyone, thus optimising the available space. Some models even incorporate storage (drawer, wardrobe, dresser, etc.) to store your children's clothes or toys, for example.

Make your children happy

With this type of bunk bed, your children won't struggle to go to bed at night. A true space for play and enjoyment, it will stimulate the imagination of both younger and older children! No more co-sleeping with parents, your children will see bedtime differently.

It's also the ideal bed model if your child sleeps alone but likes to regularly invite friends for sleepovers.

A designer bunk bed that adapts to all tastes

Wooden bunk beds for children are available in any colour. In white, wood-white, solid pine, oak, grey, blue, Scandinavian style... Whatever the decoration of your children's room, the bed will adapt perfectly.

If your children have different tastes, opt for a subtle colour like white or grey. They can then each decorate their section as they wish. For example, they can put fairy lights on a rail or hang decorations on the slats of the upper bed base.
