Beauty in a Bunk Bed with Mattresses Included

When shopping for bunk beds, the phrase “mattress included” might catch your eye – and for good reason. Here’s why this combo deal is a game-changer:

• Hassle-Free Shopping: No need to succumb to the overwhelming pressure of choosing the right bunk frame and mattress. Especially with so many options on the market. When your bunk bed comes with a pre-selected mattress, the rest of the purchase is easy-peasy.
• Perfect Fit: If you can relate to buying an incompatible mattress for a bed frame – say less. That bad shopping experience can be restored. With a mattress-included bunk bed, you’re guaranteed a perfect match.
• Cost Savings: Buying a bunk bed with a mattress included is often more affordable than purchasing them separately. And with the budget tight, this is a smart way to save without compromising quality. Your wallet will thank you! 
• Simplified Delivery: Purchasing multiple items can make coordinating deliveries a headache. A mattress-included bunk bed arrives as one complete package, saving you time and effort.

Types of Bunk Beds

A bunk bed is a framed bedroom furniture featuring two beds on top of one another to form a single unit. Bunk beds typically come in single or three-quarter sizes. 

What if we told you that there is more than just one type of bunk bed? Yep! You better believe it’s true. The Mattress Warehouse offers a wide range of bunk bed styles to suit every taste and need. Here are the most popular types:

Standard Bunk Beds

Classics set the way for the trendy stuff. Standard bunk beds are classic designs with two single beds stacked one on the other. They offer functionality and charming simplicity.

Loft Bunk Beds

Loft bunk beds are the more elevated sister to the standard bunks. This elevated feature leaves space below for either storage or a study desk. It’s the perfect solution for smaller rooms and is ideal for teenagers or adults.

Triple Bunk Beds

Yes, you read that right. Triple. Triple bunk beds can come in two designs. They can either be three beds vertically stacked or two beds joined at the base, with one top bunk. These bunks are great for larger families or holiday homes.

The spacious Denise Tri-Bunk (Graphite) features combined base beds, sturdy guardrails and ladder, and a chic modern finish.

L-Shaped Bunk Beds

L-shaped bunk beds are designed to fit into a corner arrangement of the bedroom. This type of bunk provides more floor space and may also enable built-in storage or study desks. The functional yet stylish L-shape bunk is a great catch for couples raising kids in apartments. Especially since some buildings have interesting layouts.

Understanding Mattress Options

There is no bed without a mattress. Otherwise, all you’d have is a bunk frame. Therefore, the mattress included with your bunk bed is just as important as the frame itself. Here’s what to look out for:

1. Comfort Level

A good night’s sleep corresponds with how comfortable the mattress is. A perfect balance of cushioning and support by the mattress is always the goal. Foam mattresses typically provide these attributes with their material and design. This makes the foam mattress a common mattress type for bunk beds. 

1. Size Compatibility

South African bunk beds typically come in single or three-quarter sizes. A single mattress is 188 cm x  92 cm in size, with a three-quarter mattress typically 188 cm x 107 cm. So, to avoid unflattering (and certainly uncomfortably) overhangs or gaps, ensure the included mattress is the correct size.

1. Durability

In most instances, bunk beds are purchased for children. Those busybodies seem to have a lot of energy to burn through and an incredible imagination. Of course, they are likely to play and jump on the bunk beds! That is why it is important to look for mattresses with durable materials. High-density foam or pocket spring mattresses are excellent choices.

1. Safety Standards

For both children and adults, the last thing you want to experience is a bedtime injury. It is crucial to be mindful of mattress heights meeting the bunk bed guidelines to ensure safety. You must ensure that there is enough space between the top mattress and guardrails to prevent accidents.

Benefits of a Bunk Bed with Mattresses Included

a) Kids’ Rooms Made Easy

Bunk beds are a game-changer for large families or if you have more than one child. They provide independent sleeping space without taking up most of the room. There is often space for other bedroom aspects such as study desks, wardrobes and toy storage.

b) Affordable Guest Rooms or Holiday Homes

For families who thrive on hospitality, bunk beds are your best friend. Having a guest room with a bunk bed means you’re always ready to host guests. Whether it’s visiting family members or friends from out of town, you are on your A-game!

But also, if you own a holiday home, bunk beds are a practical way to maximise sleeping arrangements for larger groups.

c) Adapting to Multi-Generational Living

We are South Africans. We thrive on Ubuntu. So, it’s not uncommon to share a roof with grandparents, parents, and children. Bunk beds can alleviate the pressure of limited space and help accommodate everyone comfortably.

Safety First: Tips for Bunk Beds

Convenience of space is what makes bunk beds such an attractive purchase. But we cannot shove caution and safety under the cover. Especially for younger children. The Mattress Warehouse prioritises both safety and comfort and as such, we’ve provided some tips to ensure peace of mind:

• Guardrails: A rollover is not a foreign act when sleeping. But it could be quite dangerous for a person or child sleeping on the top bunk. So, having a top bunk with sturdy guardrails on all sides is useful to prevent falling.
• Ladder Safety: It is best to choose a bunk bed with a non-slip ladder, as this ensures that it is attached more securely to the frame. And there is less risk of slipping while climbing to and from the bunk.
• Age Recommendations: It is recommended that children under the age of six not sleep on the top bunk. Younger children are not as well coordinated for such heights, especially in their sleep.
• Stable Structure: You must regularly check that all bolts and joints are secure. The bedroom is a place of rest, not an accident scene.
• Proper Placement: It is ideal to position bunk beds against a wall or away from windows, ceiling fans, and low-hanging lights. This minimises the chances of accidents.
