The Benefits of Bunk Beds

Bunk beds are a brilliant space-saving solution, especially for smaller rooms or shared spaces.  The key is to finding one that lasts and will stand the test of time.

Here’s why we think bunk beds are a great choice for a child’s bedroom:

• Maximizing Floor Space – Since one bed is stacked on top of the other, taking up the footprint of just one bed, it frees up valuable room for play, study, or storage.
• Ideal for Shared Rooms – If siblings share a bedroom, bunk beds offer personal sleeping spaces while keeping things cosy. Dividing or convertible bunk beds that split down into two make them a great option as sharing siblings grow older.
• Fun for Kids – There’s something adventurous about sleeping in a bunk bed, particularly the top bunk—like having a little hideaway or castle!
• Guest-Friendly – Bunk beds are also a popular option for one child, as they work well for hosting sleepovers or accommodating guests without needing extra bedrooms.
• Customizable Designs – Many bunk beds (often called loft beds) come with built-in storage, desks, or even extra pull-out beds for extra flexibility.

Here at Little Folks, we design and manufacture all sorts of bunk beds. Here are some different types of bunks to consider:

• Standard Bunk Bed – This is a classic design with two twin beds stacked on top of each other. All our standard style bunk beds are available both with and without space saving trundle.

• Double Bunk Bed – A single bed on top and a small double bed on the bottom; great for growing kids or guest rooms.
• Loft Bed – An elevated bed with open space underneath for a desk, storage, or play area.
• Futon Bunk Bed – A bunk bed with a futon on the bottom that can be used as a sofa during the day and a bed at night.
• Sofa Bunk Bed – This bunk bed comprises a full size single on top, with a sofa bed underneath. This option is particularly good for teenagers and guest rooms.

• L-Shaped Bunk Bed – Two full size single beds arranged in an L-shape, offering a more open layout and sometimes extra storage.
•  Trundle Bunk Bed – A bunk bed with a pull-out trundle bed underneath for extra sleeping space or storage. – All of our traditional bunk bed designs are available both with and without trundle.

• Study Bunk Bed – A loft-style bed with a built-in desk and sometimes even shelves underneath too, making it perfect for students and older children.
• Convertible Bunk Bed – Can be separated into two individual beds when needed. All of our standard bunk beds are convertible.
