A kids' bunk bed is an incredibly popular choice for many homes, especially ones with multiple children and small bedrooms with a lack of floor space. Some households often have guests sleep over so require more sleeping options in their guest room, and bunk beds can often be a good choice.
However, bunk beds for adults are a different story and aren't very common – but they're excellent solutions for many situations.
The Bunk Beds team have looked into double bunk beds and why they can be a great choice for homes. Read on to find out why you should consider adult bunk beds in your house.
What are adult double bunk beds?
Adult bunk beds are similar to standard bunk beds in that they have two beds stacked on top of each other. This means they safely support more adults or give a single person enough space for a comfortable sleep on one bunk.
However, there are different types of double bunk beds for adults, including:
- Double over double bunk beds – This type of bunk bed is a double bed on both the top bunk and bottom bunk, allowing up to four people to sleep.
- Single over double bunk beds – This bunk bed has a single bed on the top, over a double bed on the bottom bunk, allowing up to three people to sleep.
- Double over single bunk beds – This design allows two adults to sleep on the top bunk and one to sleep on the bottom bunk.
All variations of a double bunk bed help to save space in a guest bedroom, allowing for other furniture to comfortably be placed and used in the same room to store clothes, blankets, bedding and more.
They can also be useful for families sleeping over at a friend's or family's house. Parents can sleep on one bunk, and children can comfortably sleep on the other.
Considerations for double over double bunk beds for adults
There are certain, specific circumstances where using double bunk beds for adult guests is a good idea. Whether it's one extra sleeping space or two, double bunk beds for adults offer plenty of benefits, and make sense in a lot of situations.
To make a good decision on an adult double bunk bed, take a look at the below considerations.
Weight capacity
The weight capacity of double bunk beds is an important factor to consider so you aren't compromising safety when your guests use it.
Ensure the double bunk bed you like has enough weight capacity to safely support multiple adults.
Space constraints
One major benefit double bunk beds have over single bunk beds is the extra space they provide. Paired with good quality mattresses, this can create a calming, relaxing sleep environment.
So, when picking a double bunk bed for your home, ensure it is spacious enough to provide guests or family members plenty of room for a great night's sleep.
Reliability
Durability and reliability are huge factors to consider when looking for an adult bunk bed. You want your family and guests to be safe while using the bed, especially with multiple people sharing the sleeping space.
Check the build quality of the adult bunk beds you're considering purchasing. If the frame looks a little too thin, you may prefer to opt for a wooden bunk bed that feels much more sturdy.
Sleeping area
If guests sleeping over in your home is a frequent situation, adult bunk beds can be a cost-effective, space-saving solution.
Adult bunk beds allow you to easily house more guests without compromising on space and comfort.
Stylish designs
Our extensive range of bunk beds is available in an enormous range of designs, giving you plenty of choices to match a bed perfectly with the decor in your guest room.
Some people may think bunk beds are only available in plain, traditional designs but that couldn't be further from the truth. Like most pieces of furniture, bunk beds come in a variety of colours, layouts and materials.
Increased comfort
And finally, the comfort of bunk beds for adults should be a top priority. Whether it's your family or friends sleeping in the beds, you want them to enjoy a comfortable, restful night's sleep.
This can be achieved with a sturdy frame that doesn't wobble or creak when people move on the bed, and a good mattress further helps to raise comfort levels.
