Choosing the Right Bunk Bed - Style, Safety, and Sustainability for Kids

Choosing the right bed for your kids is a big decision. Safety and sustainability are understandably at the top of the list for parents right now, and of course, kids want a bed that reflects their personality. We get it! That’s why this guide will talk you through the newest trends in kids bunk beds, exploring everything from eco-conscious materials and clever space-saving designs to the styles you and your kids will love.

For more than three decades, Strictly Beds and Bunks has been listening to parents and kids, in order to design and manufacture pine bunk beds that meet their evolving needs. In this blog, we talk you through how that works.

What Parents Want From a Bunk Bed

Choosing a bunk bed involves more than just picking a style. Today’s parents prioritise safety, sustainability, and value. At Strictly Beds and Bunks, we understand these priorities and design our bunk beds to meet them all:

• Safety First – All Strictly Bunks are manufactured to British Safety Standards (BS EN 747-1:2024 – TC), ensuring your children sleep in a safe and secure bed.
• Sustainability Matters – We are FSC® certified! All timber used for our products comes from sustainable forests, supporting responsible forestry practices and minimising the environmental impact of our manufacturing process.
• Built to Last – Our heavy-duty pine bunk beds are built for durability, designed to withstand the rigours of childhood and they are made to last for years.
• Space-Saving Solutions – Our bunk bed designs make the most of the available space, offering clever solutions for smaller rooms.
• Recycling Service – Our unique recycle and donate service allows us to responsibly collect your old Strictly Beds and Bunks bed (mainland UK) for free. We then repair and reuse it (donated to charity) or repurpose its components into other recycled products for donation, contributing to a circular economy.

Multifunctional Bunk Beds - Making the Most of Small Spaces

Both kids and parents love multifunctional bunk beds. They’re brilliant for increasing the floor space in smaller bedrooms, and kids love being able to customise their own bed space. Here are some popular options:

• Storage Drawer Bunk Beds – These clever designs incorporate drawers under the bottom bunk, providing valuable storage for clothes, toys, or bedding. It’s the perfect way to keep tiny rooms tidy!
• Trundle Bunk Beds – For kids that love sleepovers or big families that love to visit, trundles offer a simple, fun solution. Trundle beds have an extra bed that tucks away neatly under the bottom bunk.
• Bunk Beds with Desk/Sofa – Loft bunk beds offer a sleep/study combination. The bunk is high enough to allow for a desk, chair and bookshelves to fit underneath. Alternatively, for more chilled study, there’s space for a sofa, creating a comfortable area for homework, reading, or relaxing with a laptop.
• L-Shaped Bunk Beds – These versatile designs offer two distinct sleeping spaces in an L-shape, allowing your kids to have their own their bed “zone” within the shared bunk bed area.
