Kids Bunk Beds

Kids Bunk Beds: Big Ideas for Little Bedrooms

Are bunk beds good for kids?

Bunk beds for kids are a clever choice for families who want to make the most of a smaller bedroom. By stacking sleep spaces vertically, they free up more room for play, study and all the adventures that happen between breakfast and bedtime.

These kids beds can give sharing siblings their own spot to make their own, or turn a bedroom into sleepover central without overcrowding the space. Some designs even add handy built-in storage or study areas, making every centimetre work a little harder.

At Harvey Norman, you’ll find kids bunk beds and loft beds with desks made with sturdy craftsmanship, space-saving features and styles they’ll love now and as they grow. From shared rooms to sleepover-ready setups, there’s a design that suits little dreamers, growing kids and every age in between.

What are the different types of bunk beds?

From how many children it needs to sleep to whether the room also needs space for storage, study or sleepovers, there’s a lot more to bunk beds than deciding who gets the top bunk!

Our clever collection of single, double or triple bunk bed configurations helps transform kids’ rooms into sleepover hideaways, homework hubs and spaces made for growing imaginations. Take a look:

• Classic Bunk Beds – Double the sleeping space without taking over the floor, giving siblings their own cosy corner or friends a spot for the night.
• Kids Loft Beds – Single bunk beds that raise the sleeping area and open up a world of possibilities below, from a desk for homework to a reading nook or play space.
• Double Bunk Beds – A roomy option that brings together a single bed above a double below, making shared rooms and sleepovers easier to manage.
• Bunk Beds with Trundles – Keep an extra sleep space tucked away until friends come calling, then roll it out for weekend sleepovers.

Are there bunk beds with storage?

We know keeping a kids’ room tidy can be a tall order, but our bunk beds with storage help you put clutter to bed! Think under-bed drawers for spare linen, open shelves for their favourite reads and clever compartments that stop their toys from taking over the room.

There are also bunk beds with desks, which feature a raised loft sleep space and an open area below for an integrated desk, play zone or extra storage – because their room should have room to grow with them!

What makes bunk beds safe for kids?

A safer kids bunk bed starts with quality construction, secure guardrails and a sturdy ladder. When you shop at Harvey Norman, you know you’re getting space-saving designs with the practical safety features parents look for in a bed frame.

For safe sleep, children under nine should use the lower bunk. Position the bed clear of ceiling fans, lights and blind cords, keep the top bunk for sleeping only, and use the mattress size and maximum depth specified for the model. It’s these details that help keep bedtime safe and sound.

What size mattress should you use on a bunk bed?

Use a mattress that suits the bunk bed design and stays within its recommended maximum depth. The right fit should sit securely within the frame, while the top bunk mattress needs to sit low enough for the guardrails to do their job.

Mattress requirements can vary between bunk, loft, trundle and single-over-double designs, so check the assembly instructions or speak with a Harvey Norman team member before you buy – this is not a detail to sleep on!
