Why Choose a Triple Bunk Bed for Small Spaces?

Being a parent of three children, I have always been faced with the pressure to make the most of small spaces around our home. The kids are still very young and share a room that we can describe as very tight. After some time trying to make work with regular beds, I realized that I needed a solution that would save space, keep the room organized, and still be fun for the kids. 

That is when I found the perfect solution: a triple bunk bed. If you share my problem with limited space, then this is a must-read for you! I will share how this bunk bed has transformed my children’s room to make our small space look all that bigger.

What is a Triple Bunk Bed?

To those who are unfamiliar with triple bunk beds, they are exactly what they sound like–three beds stacked on top of each other, or as is my case, one bed stacked on top of two ground beds.

What makes these beds even better is that they do not just take up space vertically but are often designed with added storage options or some other practical feature.

Why I Chose a Triple Bunk Bed for My Kids?

The first time we moved into our home, we had a relatively small room to accommodate three of my kids. It was not easy to fit three beds in that small room without making it seem overcrowded.

For a long time, we only had two regular beds and a tiny mattress on the floor, but as they got bigger, something could be seen coming that would require a bigger bed. I chose a wooden triple bunk bed after some research, as it was definitely perfect for our needs.

1. It Utilizes Vertical Space

Perhaps the biggest advantage of a bunk bed is that it uses up vertical space rather than taking up valuable floor space. That was a big deal for us.

Where three beds would have filled up the whole room, we have three sleep spaces, two side by side and one on top of them. This freed up a huge portion of the room for me, allowing me to fit other furniture like a small dresser and a play area for my kids without crowding the room.

2. Great for a Shared Room

With three kids, I had to adapt to sharing the room so that it would be manageable enough. Of course, I thought it was going to be a struggle; however, to my surprise, the bunk bed has been perfect for them. They seem to love the idea of having their own space, and even though they share the same room, the bunk bed provides each with their own area that feels personal to them.

The top bunk is best for my elder child, and the lower two bunks are suitable for the younger ones. It has also made bedtime easier—no more arguing over who gets which bed because everyone has a spot!

3. Looks Good and Saves Space

When I was searching for a bunk bed, the main requirement for the chosen bed for me was that it not only be practical but also aesthetically pleasing in the room. The bed I have chosen is simple and clean with lines, which completes the furnishing of the room with a balance of the not-so-big space without overlying it with too much presentation.

My favourite thing about the bed is that it is modern and doesn’t look bulky or awkward. For such a large piece of furniture, it actually adds much aesthetic appeal to the room instead of sucking it out.

4. Additional Storage That Saves Even More Space

The storage feature on the bunk bed I purchased has been really useful. I am always searching for ideas that make the children’s room tidy and ordered. In this bed, which I bought from MK Furnishings, there are two large drawers on the lower beds that I use to store blankets, toys, or clothes of my kids. These are lifesavers for keeping the room free of clutter without additional storage units.

Adjacent to the drawers, the stairs that ascend to the top bunk have four more drawers for storing items. This extra space, which is behind the stairs, is actually ideal for my kids to store their toys.

Final Thoughts!

Choosing a wooden triple bunk bed for my kids has really been a space-saver for our little home. First of all, it saved us so much space, and secondly, it helped us maximise the space we had with so many storage options.

If you’re looking for a smart, space-saving solution for a shared kids’ bedroom, I highly recommend using a this bunk bed. It’s been just perfect for our family, and I’m sure it can work wonders in any small space!
