Of course, these days, you have many different options to choose from when browsing children's beds, so you won’t struggle to find something that meets your needs. A popular choice for many when buying a kids’ bed is a bunk bed, especially if they share a room with a sibling.

However, it isn’t always the right choice for everyone, so if you’re wondering whether to buy a modern bunk bed, keep reading today. Our team here at Nubie have put together a list of pros and cons to this type of bed.

Pros to bunk beds

As expected, there are numerous benefits to this type of bed and for many, they are the perfect sleeping solution. Below are a handful of reasons why bunk beds are a brilliant choice for a children’s bedroom.

• Space-saving solution

The most obvious benefit of luxury bunk beds for kids is that they won’t take up too much space. If you need two beds in one room, a bunk bed will essentially stack them so they only take up the floor space of one bed.

• Encourages independence

Sharing a room can sometimes cause issues with independence but, a bunk bed will provide both siblings with their own separate space. It gives children the illusion of being on their own at night and helps teach them how to sleep independently.

• Brilliant for sleepovers

Often, when children reach a certain age they will start to ask for sleepovers and you will have to accommodate this. Modern bunk beds are perfect for sleepovers and guests can sleep in comfort whenever they visit.

• Children’s first choice

You can guarantee that when you ask your children what bed they’d like, a bunk bed or a high/mid sleeper bed will be top of their list. These days, luxury bunk beds for kids can be so much fun and these beds are always designed with children in mind. 

Cons to bunk beds

There are also a few downsides to bunk beds, like there are the majority of sleeping solutions, and it is important to consider these when choosing a bed for your child. Below are some reasons why a bunk bed might not be suitable.

• General safety concerns

The most off-putting thing about bunk beds is that one child will be sleeping at height and there is the worry that they may fall out of bed. Of course, you can expect all modern bunk beds to be built with high safety standards, so this doesn’t need to be a concern.

• Making the bed can be difficult

If you want to teach your children how to make their own bed then this is undeniably more difficult when they’re on the top bunk. Of course, it may also be a bit more tricky for you to make the bed too however, it shouldn’t be enough to put you off.

• Fighting over the top bunk

For the majority of children, sleeping on the top bunk of a modern bunk bed is much better than sleeping on the bottom bunk. You may find that this causes arguments amongst your children when they share a room, but often the eldest ends up with the top bunk.
