The Benefits of Wood Bunk Beds

For families with multiple children of a similar age, a bunk bed is a safe and exciting way. It can help to cut down on the number of rooms required, so you don't need a big apartment or mansion to start a family.

Here are some of the advantages you get with a wooden bunk:

Solid construction: When buying furniture, especially a bunk, your natural instinct is to check if it does not wobble. Although when you purchase online you cannot physically touch the bed but with Maine Bunk beds, our wood workers ensure you get a unique bed that serves your needs and lasts you for a lifetime. Also, all the furniture on our website has solid wood construction and hardware that is specifically designed to prevent connections to come loose.

Using quality materials: Whether you are buying a bunk for kids or adults, it has to withstand wear and tear more than any other furniture in your home. So quality material definitely pays off if you want your furniture to last. One of the most notable differences between good quality and not is that the same furniture manufacturers save on the amount of quality materials where they can.

Hardwoods may be expensive, but furniture made from hardwood is not going to dent or show signs of wear and tear. What's more, it is much more beautiful, and it will be good to go with a little maintenance by coating paint on it. Strong and durable hardwood veneers add enduring style and sturdiness to every bunk bed design.

All the Maine Bunk Beds products are made from premium grade poplar, a sustainable, locally sourced, and renewable hardwood. We use North American poplar which is fine-grained and stable, making it easy to build with and well-situated for high-quality finishing.

Designed to meet the safety standards: There are set regulations for using bunk beds, but there is a difference between products that are designed just to meet standards and others that are built to go the extra mile to give you a safe bunk bed. Our beds are designed and built with safety as a top priority. They comply with the ASTM F-127 Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Bunk Beds and the Government Code of Federal Regulations 1213 and a1513.

Take weight resistance as an example. All our bunk beds are engineered with the right configurations to the right limit. For instance, if parents want to share the bed with their children or guests come over. If the bunk bed does not have the right support structure, it could easily create a problem.

Flexibility to customize: Not only does it maximize space without feeling cramped or confined, at the same time it also allows you to use more space that can be used to integrate other features as well. For instance, a solid wood bunk bed with stairs is a safer and more stable option than a rung ladder, or pull out drawers underneath.

With Main Bunk Beds you get an unparalleled variety of options, different sizes, heights, configurations, and multiple entry options (straight or angled ladders, end or side staircase).

How to Choose the Right Bunk Bed?

Here at Maine Bunk Beds, we know it can be overwhelming to try and decide what bunk bed is right for your kids, adults, or guest room. Between height, safety, and storage it can feel like there is simply too much to think about. That's why we have put together this handy checklist to find the perfect bunk bed that will be with you for a lifetime:

Purchase the bed according to the available space and where you are willing to place it. Also, it is important to determine who will be using the bed. If you have the space, you can accommodate a huge bunk bed, that is go for a king-size bed. On the contrary, opt for a twin or queen size if you have a smaller room space. You can also have a triple bunk bed if you have the ceiling height.

Ensure that you consider storage space. A neat and tidy room will help to increase the safety of children and remove any tripping and choking hazards. Luckily, if you invest in bunk beds from Maine Bunk Beds, you will have a variety of smart space-saving solutions.

For instance, built-in drawers within your wooden bunk beds with stairs or pull-out drawers underneath the bed, can be really helpful when it comes to storing clothes, toys, and other items. You can simply choose a twin over a queen bunk bed, where the underneath space of the lower bunk can be utilized for a trundle that is a third bed for guests, the lower bunk can be used to create a cozy place to play or work and the top bunk bed to sleep. This is perfect for teens and adults as it provides a place to study and relax on their own as they become more independent.

When it comes to bunk beds, we have got them all! As it turns out there is a wide variety, each made to order with a different requirement in mind. It is important that you choose a multipurpose bed that fits your needs. Whether you need a standard bed, a spacious bunk to sleep 3, a triple sleeper, or a high sleeper. Once you have decided on the right configuration, it is time to pick out the mattress. Any mattress would fit your bunk bed, however, if you want the best of quality, a natural mattress with a thought to the thickness is important.
