Bunk Beds for Children — Which Kids' Bed Should You Choose?

Bunk Beds for Children — Which Kids' Bed Should You Choose?

Bunk beds for children are an excellent solution for a child’s room. In our store, you’ll find a wide selection of such beds that will delight both parents and little ones. A child’s bed must be, above all, safe and comfortable, and our models meet these requirements 100%. However, there are a few aspects worth considering before making a final decision.

What Should You Focus on When Choosing Bunk Beds for Children?

When choosing a children’s bed, there are several aspects to take into account. Below, we’ve organized all the essential elements to help you select the right bed. First and foremost, ensure the bed will fit in the room. Pay attention to the room’s height. In the case of bunk beds with a canopy, the total height of the bed may exceed the room's height. In such situations, it’s better to choose a bunk bed without a canopy. These types of bunk beds are ideal when the bed will be shared by a boy and a girl. From our experience, such bunk beds work perfectly for siblings of different genders. Children's bed Filip

In addition to height, it’s important to check the maximum width and length of the bunk bed. In our store, you can order bunk beds with stairs or ladders, so it’s essential to measure the available space accurately. If you choose a classic bunk bed with a ladder, you only need to add the material's width, which is 9 cm, to the mattress dimensions. For a bed designed for a 200x90 cm mattress, the total dimensions will be 209x99 cm. This option works perfectly for slightly smaller rooms. If you prefer the version with stairs, add an additional 45 cm to the total dimensions for the stairs. If space permits, it’s worth considering stairs. This is a much safer option for beds intended for children aged 3-4 years. Stairs make it less dangerous for children to climb to the upper bed. Each step is equipped with small drawers, which can be used for storing your child’s belongings.

What Bunk Beds Are Suitable for 3-4-Year-Olds?

If you’re flexible regarding bed size, it’s best to start by choosing a size that suits your child. For children aged 3-4 years, consider sizes 140x70 cm or 160x80 cm. These are the most commonly chosen sizes for children in this age group. Opting for a 160x80 cm bed is a longer-term choice, as it eliminates the need for an immediate replacement.

Additionally, consider a bed with stairs. Children at this age might have difficulties using ladders, so stairs are a safer option. The drawers in the stairs can be used for toys or children’s clothing. If the storage space in the stairs isn’t sufficient, you can also consider purchasing additional drawers under the bed.

What Bunk Beds Are Suitable for 5-7-Year-Olds?

If you’re looking for bunk beds for slightly older children, such as 5-7 years old, the best options are beds in sizes 160x80 cm or 180x80 cm. As with the earlier sizes, choosing a larger bed ensures it will serve your family for a longer time. Additionally, consider a bunk bed with a width of 90 cm. This provides extra space for children who move a lot during sleep. If you’re planning to buy a thicker mattress, consider the “PLUS” version with a higher safety rail on the upper bed or on both beds.

What Bunk Beds Are Suitable for Older Children?

If your children are already a bit older, you have more options to explore. Customers looking for beds for children aged 7+ often focus on the FILIP models. The most popular size is 200×90 cm, although it ultimately depends on the available space. The classic design of the FILIP models makes them a popular choice for bunk beds for children. These beds are especially suitable for siblings of different genders and are frequently selected for older children. The absence of a canopy makes these beds more versatile and timeless.

What If I’m Interested in a Single Loft Bed?

If you’re considering a bunk bed with a single sleeping area, we have those in our collection too! Often referred to as loft beds or simply lofts, they are an ideal choice for small rooms and apartments. These models are especially popular in countries like France. The selection of loft beds is just as extensive as that of traditional bunk beds, if not more. When it comes to bed size, the same guidelines as bunk beds apply. However, with loft beds, you have an additional factor to consider—the bed's height.

Loft Bed for Kids - 120 cm Height

This is an ideal children’s bed for younger kids. With a height of 120 cm under the loft, your child will feel safer using the bed. Adding stairs to this setup provides four steps that double as storage compartments. The open space under the loft offers easy access to shelves. A loft bed is an excellent way to save space in a room. The top level can hold a mattress, while the space underneath can serve as a play or study area for the child. A loft bed with a 120 cm height is a great starting option. However, for older children, other sizes may be more suitable.

Loft Bed for Kids - 135 cm Height

This model is more practical than the 120 cm version. With a 135 cm height, the bed is suitable even for older children. Choosing the version with stairs increases storage space, as the stairs include an additional step, drawer, and shelf. This height is also perfect for installing a desk underneath. A standard desk, about 70 cm tall, will still leave approximately 65 cm of headroom for your child. This setup ensures comfortable and practical use.

Loft Bed for Kids - 150 cm Height

This is the tallest children’s bed available on our website. It’s also the most popular choice among our customers. With a height of 150 cm, this bed is ideal for rooms with high ceilings. This height provides enough space to place additional furniture or a larger bed under the loft. It works perfectly as a bed for a shared bedroom, where the parents' bed is below, and the child sleeps on the loft above. The elevated mattress leaves ample space underneath for play. This version often includes stairs with five steps, each step containing a drawer for storage. The 150 cm loft bed is also a great choice for placing a desk underneath. This setup offers sufficient headroom above the desk, making it suitable even for an adult.

Summary

As you can see, choosing the right bed for a child involves many considerations. You can opt for bunk beds or loft beds for single use. Both options are perfect for small rooms. They are an excellent way to save space and gain additional room. When choosing bunk beds, it’s best to select a size that’s comfortable for both children, especially the older one. The recommended mattress thickness for these beds is a maximum of 12 cm. For the “PLUS” versions, mattresses should not exceed 15 cm.

For single bunk beds or lofts, choose the appropriate height. A 120 cm loft bed is more suitable for younger children, while 135 cm and 150 cm versions are better for older ones. Both options work well in a child’s bedroom, providing extra space for study or play. The 135 cm and 150 cm versions are often chosen by customers who place their bed below and the child’s loft bed above.
