About Bunk Beds
Everybody loves their bed.
it is your best friend since it renders peace to you and distresses you.
There are different types available in the market.
The type that is being described below is the bunk bed.
A bunk bed is ideally employed for smaller rooms which have more members to accommodate.
It has a frame with different sections or levels allowing more than one (usually two) person to sleep.
The individual frames are stacked one on top of the other.
If the room has limited floor space then these are a must have.
You generally find these in ship cabins, army dormitories, hostels, army garrisons, summer campsites, universities, jails etc.
Usually supported on four poles or struts at each corner.
They normally employ a ladder to climb on top.
Despite the ladder you may find kids resorting to different means to climb on top since that add to the fun.
The top bed usually has privacy and is always provided with a rod on all sides to prevent the person who is on the bed from falling down.
It is not for kids below six years because of the height.
You can also add to the privacy by using curtains around the beds.
There are various sub-types in these like standard bunk bed, twin over bunk bed, l shape bunk bed, loft bed, triple lindy loft bed etc.
A standard bunk bed has two similar sized mattresses keep one on top of the other.
The lower one is usually a full size bed and upper is twin sized.
There are futon bunks also available which normally look like a couch and when extended become beds.
Generally, lower bunks are futon couches in standard bunks.
Usually small apartments and hutments employ those.
In a L shape bunk the bottom bed is oriented at right angle to the top and give the appearance of a L from the sides.
It has a shelf too to keep items and books.
A loft bed does not have a bottom bunk instead has a free space ad is provided with the top bunk only giving space below for chests, drawers, workstations.
These beds are expensive.
A triple lindy loft bed has three beds as the name very clearly suggests.
It combines a loft bed attached at right angles to a bunk bed and forms a L shape.
Bunk beds can be made out of any material.
It can use steel, aluminum alloys, wood etc.
The choice of material usually decides the cost.
However, it is always recommended that you design your own bunk bed since it cuts down the cost and you get precisely what you want.
Usually models made out of softwood are much cheaper than steel or heavy wood.
Provisioning spring coir, suspension mattresses add to the cost of the beds.
Additional costs are incurred if additional furniture is fitted.
However, you should not compromise on the safety part of the design and must provide rails around the bed to ensure safety of people sleeping on the beds.
