Pine Bunk Bed Buying Tips

Pine bunk beds are an ideal sleeping solution for guest rooms and kids rooms alike where space is limited. Before committing to a purchase there are some key points to consider.

Firstly, you need to look at the thickness of the pine posts of the bunk bed and in mind that your children will love jumping around on the bunk beds and the cheap bunk beds may not be up to the stresses this will put upon them.

Another place to look is the the wooden slats that support the mattress. Often on a pine bunk bed you will find that these are made of cheaper, less robust wood that often break after a year or so. If the bunk bed is needed longer term look for one that has pine slats as these will be longer lasting.

Your bunk bed will be delivered flat packed and will need to to put together. This is a fairly easy process but please remember to erect it in the bedroom that you intend to use it in. This may seem obvious but you will find it very difficult moving a fully put together bunk bed from one room to the next.

Do you have bunk bed matresses already or do you need to buy a new pair? If so I would invest in a good quality pair because a thin one on top of the slats will not give your child a good night sleep. If your child suffers from allergies remember to buy a hypo allergenic mattress for them and don't forget normal single bed mattresses may not fit the bunk beds which are normally narrower. So you may have to invest in a new pair unless they are included when you buy your new pine bunk bed.
