Built to Last - Investing in Quality Pine Bunk Beds
There’s a lot to think about when choosing bunk beds for your kids. You’re looking for something that’s stylish and safe, but it also needs to stand up to years of jumping and climbing. And, as if that’s not enough to be thinking about, you’re probably also looking for bunk beds that won’t break the bank or harm the planet.
At Strictly Beds and Bunks, our aim is to create good-looking, long-lasting bunk beds that are safe for your children, and good for the environment. Our natural pine bunk beds are manufactured in the UK from sustainably sourced timber; they’re strong and they don’t cost the earth.
In this blog, we’ll look at the benefits we believe our natural pine bunk beds offer to a growing family. We’ll also provide a few tips on choosing the right bunk bed for your children.
The Natural Beauty and Benefits of Pine Bunk Beds
There’s something very warm and welcoming about natural pine wood. It looks attractive and sits equally well in the bedroom of a 6-year-old or a teen. The appeal of pine bunk beds, however, goes beyond the way it looks.
A Breath of Fresh Air
Many manufactured wood products, and furniture pieces, contain glues, paints, and varnishes that release volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These are chemicals that pollute the air may cause adverse health effects in children.
Solid pine, in its natural state, contains no VOCs. At Strictly Beds and Bunks, we take this a step further by offering our pine bunk beds unfinished. This gives you complete control over the finishing process, allowing you to choose non-toxic paints, stains, or oils that are absolutely safe for your family.
Naturally Durable
Pine is a softwood, but don’t be fooled by the name – it’s incredibly strong and durable. Our heavy-duty pine bunk beds are built to take years of whatever your children throw at them (literally). This sturdiness means they weather well; scratches and dents become part of their natural texture as they mature with your children.
A Sustainable Choice
We source our pine from sustainably managed forests where new trees are planted to replace those that are cut down for manufacture. This helps with the long-term health of our forests and reduces the impact we make on the planet. Choosing pine bunk beds means you’re supporting responsible forestry practices.
Timeless Style
Pine’s will fit in with your home’s interior style whether you live in a converted farmhouse or a modern apartment. Its honey-coloured tones are warm and inviting feel, and it’s wood with a distinctive grain that can be stained to a range of tones. If you need it to fit in with a distinctive colour scheme, our bunk beds are easy to paint to achieve exactly the look you want.
Easy to Maintain
Pine bunk bed maintenance is pretty hands off. Dust regularly, wipe stains off with a damp cloth and check once in a while that all the joints are secure.
Choosing the Perfect Pine Bunk Bed for Your Family
One of the many attractions of pine bunk beds is their versatility – they adapt easily to children’s changing needs as they grow. Here are a few things to keep in mind as you make your choice:
• Safety First – UK safety guidelines recommend that children under the age of six should not sleep on the top bunk in order to avoid the risk of falls. They can, however, sleep on the lower bunk.
• Personalised Spaces – Bunk beds can easily be adapted to create personalised spaces top and bottom. You might want to add shelves for books and toys, or reading lights and cushions, or throws. These additions offer individual spaces within a shared bedroom.
• Versatility with L-Shaped Bunks – If you’re looking for extra flexibility, think about an L-shaped bunk bed. This allows a more creative use of floor space in the room and provides a unique layout. It also feels more open and less intense than stacked bunks.
• Clever Storage – Bunk beds come with all sorts of clever storage ideas, built in, whether it’s drawers under the bottom bunk, or a desk incorporated under the top bunk. Ideal for making the most of limited space in a small bedroom.
