Do you also believe in the common misconception that bunk beds are exclusively designed for children and teens? While bunk beds- the sleeping spaces elevated above floor level and stacked on top of the other are a great solution for younger kids, older kids, and adults alike. When you ask about the practical aspect of bunk beds, especially with king-sized bunks, it is giving ample sleeping space, while saving the floor space makes them a great fit for a variety of purposes.

With a few simple changes, you can turn your standard-looking small space into a functional and beautiful space that your children will love! A lot of parents have second thoughts while purchasing a bunk for their children. Changing their room set up and equipping a multi-functional piece of furniture is not a bad idea either.

Here's when you should invest in king bunk beds:

  • When your children have outgrown their standard bunk beds.
  • They are responsible enough to access the top bunk.
  • When you are shifting them into a bigger room, getting a bigger bunk with new decor allows for a change.
  • You are sharing a room with your kids.

Buying the Right King-Sized Bunk Beds: The Aspects to Look For

Looking for essential personal space in a shared room? This is the most important consideration when siblings share a room or if you need a spacious bed for your guest room. But it is important to note that many bunk bed designs vary in height so you should consider the overall bedroom space before purchasing and setting up a bunk bed in your room

Note that: Before you measure the available space make sure you have at least 2 feet of open space around the perimeter of your bed.

  • There should be enough space for your child to get in and out, to ensure there is enough space from the top bunk to the ceiling.
  • Check the distances between the bunks. For instance, if they love to utilize the bottom bunk for reading they will want to sit up straight.
  • Use all the available space underneath your bed. For instance, you can opt for under-the-bed storage and trundle beds that fit the space.
  • Customize your bunk bed with bookshelves or cases on either side to utilize otherwise wasted space. On the flip side, the cases and shelves on the wall will make the area appear cluttered and busy.
  • Go custom-made for the design and added strength. While many people search for ways to add that extra special touch, most often they don't realize that it hides in the way how they build-out and design the bunk bed based on every square inch available.

With the extensive options, that is from the different shapes, styles, sizes, below are different styles that will help you guide through the available choices.

  1. Full Bunk bed: For sleeping taller sleepers and teenagers with adult strength.
  2. Queen bunks: These are best for accommodating two adults. For instance, if you opt for a twin over queen it will hold a queen and twin XL mattress.
  3. King bunk bed: These work great for couples who want to share a room with kid. The king bunk beds can equip 3 people, that is 2 adults with one child or 3 children in a room.

When assembled, the standard bunk beds are about 80 inches long and it accommodates standard mattresses of 75 inches in length.

However, when it comes to height there are no set industry standards with regard to bunks. So your manufacturer can make their bunk beds as long and as short as you want considering the available space and ceiling height. It is also important to consider the topmost part of the top bunk which is often the guard rail.

The height and length of the king-sized bunk can affect how well it fits inside your room. That means you should be mindful of the total floor space available in the bedroom you are going to install the bunk bed in. As a rule of thumb, you can simply accommodate a king or queen bunks in bigger rooms while smaller ones will be best fitted with standard bunks.
