Discover Why Cabin Bunk Beds Are Perfect for Your Child

Choosing the perfect bed for your child’s bedroom is exciting, but with so many beds to choose from, it can also feel a bit overwhelming at times. Should you choose a classic single frame with fun bedding, or maybe a themed design that will delight right now, but may need replacing down the line? And why should a cabin bunk bed feature high on your list?

At Strictly Beds & Bunks, we’ve been manufacturing and supplying top-quality pine cabin bunk beds for kids for years. We know firsthand how these adaptable beds transform bedrooms into exciting, functional spaces that children love. And we guarantee that you’ll have a bed that can grow with your child and last them right through their childhood.

In this blog we’ll everything you need to know about cabin bunk beds, from their space-saving and safety features to the ways they inspire play and creativity. By the end, you’ll be armed with the knowledge to confidently decide if a cabin bunk bed is the perfect addition to your child’s room.

So, What Exactly is a Cabin Bunk Bed?

A cabin bunk bed is a raised bed frame with built-in storage or play space underneath. Think of it as a two-for-one deal – a cosy place to sleep above and a space below for play or storage.

Here’s how cabin bunk beds stand out from other children’s beds:

• Elevated Design – Unlike traditional beds, cabin bunk beds are raised off the ground. It’s not only an exciting prospect for your child; it also frees up valuable floor space.

• Underbed Possibilities – The space beneath the bed is where the difference is. The space under the bed can be used for:

– Storage – Drawers, shelves, and cupboards to tuck away toys, clothes, and books.

– Play Area – A den-like space for reading, relaxing, or imaginative play.

• Safety First – Cabin bunk beds are designed with safety in mind. They come with guardrails to prevent falls and sturdy ladders for easy access.

• Variety of Styles – Our heavy duty pine bunk beds come in a range of finishes, but they can also be painted or decorated to match the style of the bedroom.

Cabin Bunk Beds Storage Solutions

At Strictly Beds & Bunks, we believe that a tidy bedroom can be fun and stylish. That’s why our cabin bunk beds, like the spacious Avalon bunk bed, are designed to inspire organisation and creativity.

The Advantages of Choosing Avalon:

• Ample Underbed Space – With a generous 77cm clearance underneath, the Avalon offers plenty of room for storing and organising all your child’s treasures.
• Flexible Ladder Placement – The ladder can be positioned on either side of the bed, maximising floor space and allowing you to customise the layout of your child’s room.

Creative Storage Solutions:

This spacious storage opens up a world of possibilities for personalised solutions, leaving more floor space for play:

• Storage Bins and Baskets – Choose colourful, patterned bins or woven baskets to create a visually appealing and organised underbed space. They can be used to store toys, books, blankets, or clothing.
• Rolling Carts – A rolling cart with multiple drawers or shelves provides easy access to items and can be tucked away neatly under the bed when not in use.
• Toy Chests – A classic toy chest provides ample space for storing larger toys and games.
• Hanging Organisers – Use the vertical space under the bed with hanging organisers for shoes, accessories, or craft supplies.
• DIY Solutions – Add custom shelves or clothes cupboards under the bed to tailor the storage to your child’s specific needs.

The Underbed Adventure Zone

Cabin bunk beds don’t just have to be about storage, though. The underbed zone is a space of pure potential for endless play possibilities. Imagine transforming this space into a cosy reading nook, complete with fluffy pillows, twinkling fairy lights, and shelves filled with your child’s favourite books. The enclosed area, enhanced with curtains, creates a sense of security and encourages them to curl up and lose themselves.

Or perhaps a secret den would hit the spot. With a few strategically placed curtains, blankets, or even cardboard boxes, the underbed area can become a magical hideaway for hours of imaginative play.

The underbed space can also serve as a crafting area, a puppet theatre, a fort, or a relaxing place to dream. With a bit of creativity and a few simple additions, this space can become the heart of your child’s bedroom, a place where they can let their imaginations run wild and create memories that will last a lifetime.
