What is a triple bunk bed?

A triple bunk bed isn’t just a bed frame with three sleeping spots - it’s an adventure waiting to happen! Ideal for siblings sharing a room or friends staying over, it saves precious floor space, doubles up as clever storage, and adds a playful twist to bedtime. From sleepovers to everyday snoozing, a triple bunk makes kids’ rooms more fun and functional. There are several options to choose from, including:

• Standard triple bunk bed: Three beds piled on top of one another like the ultimate sleep sandwich, complete with a handy ladder or staircase for high-altitude access.
• L-shaped triple bunk bed: This design sets the bottom two bunks at a right angle to the top, making it a smart choice for rooms with a bit more width and a stylish way to maximise space.
• Triple loft bunk bed: Triple loft bunk beds feature one or two elevated beds, with the remaining space below transformed into storage, desks, or play areas - perfect for smaller bedrooms.
• Triple bunk bed with trundle: If your kid loves sleepovers, this option is excellent! With a pull-out trundle bed tucked beneath the bottom bunk, you'll have a hidden gem ready for those slumber party guests.

What sizes do triple bunk beds come in?

Many of our triple bunk beds for kids use standard kid mattresses . However, the triple sleeper style can include a double bed; therefore, some designs will need a double mattress.

Before you buy, take a quick look at the product details; they’ll tell you exactly which mattress size fits the frame. Choosing the right size for your space means the bed will slot perfectly into your child’s room, and they’ll enjoy cosy sleep in their new bunk in no time.

What age are triple bunk beds suitable for?

When considering options, it's important to know the appropriate age for bunk beds to see if it's right for your family. Given that the top bunk is the highest, we recommend reserving this special zone for adventurers aged six and up. This is the firm industry safety standard, as, by that age, they should be able to get up and down the ladder without any trouble. To make it easier for little legs, some of our models come with proper stairs to help them get up and down the top bunk.

We recommend that little ones be around age four for the lower bunks, once they can confidently get out of their toddler bed. To learn more, check out our ultimate guide to triple bunk beds.

Triple bunk bed materials

Do triple bunk beds come with storage?

Yes, many of them do! A triple bunk bed with storage is the ultimate space-saving solution. Integrated drawers are perfect for clothes and toys, sleek underbed storage is a clever option to store bedding and storage shelves built directly into the bed frame can store their books, toys and other trinkets.
