Durable & Space-Saving Bunk Beds for Family Rooms & Dorms

Youth hostels have always been the perfect solution for travellers on a budget, offering affordable basic accommodation and a chance to connect with like-minded adventurers. But as hostels evolve to meet the needs of modern travellers, they face the challenge of maximising space and creating comfortable sleeping arrangements for a wider range of guests, including families.

Strictly Beds and Bunks has decades of experience supplying heavy-duty bunk beds for youth hostels, activity centres, hotels, Airbnbs, and adult dorms across the UK, and we have a practical understanding of the unique demands of this specialist hospitality sector. Our durable and space-saving bunk bed solutions are designed to enhance the guest experience in family rooms and dorms, ensuring comfort, safety, and longevity.

Hostel Bunk Beds for the Modern Traveller

Today’s hostel guests expect more than just a bed for the night. They’re looking for comfortable, functional spaces that are an integral part of their travel experience. Bunk beds are no longer just a practical solution for maximising space; they’re a core component in creating a modern and inviting youth hostel environment.

At Strictly Beds and Bunks we’ve adapted our designs to this evolving landscape. Our heavy-duty pine bunk beds are designed to meet the needs of both youth hostels and their guests. Here’s how:

• Space Optimisation – Bunk beds use up vertical space, freeing up valuable floor area for luggage storage and personal space.
• Versatile Configurations – Choose from traditional bunks, space-saving triple bunks, or options with a double bottom bunk for couples or friends sharing.
• Integrated Storage – Many of our designs incorporate clever storage solutions like drawers, or under-bed compartments, giving guests somewhere to keep their belongings. Bunks can be customised with bedside shelves or reading lamps.
• Trundle Bed Options – Maximise capacity with pull-out trundle beds that provide an extra sleeping space when needed.
• Durable and Stylish – Crafted from solid pine, our bunk beds are built to withstand the demands of hostel life. With a robust base that supports up to 20 stone (127 kg), they’re suitable for both adults and children. Choose from a range of classic finishes to complement your dorm’s décor.

With Strictly Beds and Bunks, you can create a comfortable and functional space that meets the needs of the modern traveller while maximising your hostel’s capacity.

Safety First - Bunk Beds Built to British Standards

As bunk bed designers and manufacturers, safety is paramount to our process. Youth hostels accommodate guests of all ages, and our bunk beds are designed with robust safety features to allow peace of mind to everyone involved.

To ensure stability, especially on uneven floors, we advise securely fixing the bunk beds to the wall. All our bunks are equipped with guard rails that exceed the minimum height requirement. Even with a thicker 20cm mattress, our rails are at least 16cm taller, providing added security and preventing falls. Access to the top bunk is made safe with our firmly attached ladders, featuring wide, evenly spaced treads (at least 3cm wide and 20cm apart) for secure footing.

Strictly Beds and Bunks manufacture all our beds to the highest safety standards, complying with BS EN 747:2015+A1:2015, the British Standard for bunk beds. This ensures that our beds meet stringent requirements for stability, strength, and safety features, giving you peace of mind.

Recommended Guidelines for Youth Hostels

• Age Restrictions – For safety reasons, we recommend that children under 6 years old do not sleep on the top bunk.
• Responsible Use – Top bunks should be used with caution. Encourage guests to avoid leaning out from the top bunk or jumping off them. Rather they should use the ladder carefully when climbing up and down.
