Bunk Beds

Space-Saving Bunk Beds Your Family Will Love

If you’re running out of floor space in your kids’ room or need a smart solution for sleepovers, bunk beds can be a lifesaver.

As Australia's go-to for durable and stylish furniture, Amart offers a wide range of bunk beds - from classic doubles to single loft beds with built-in storage. Whether you're after durability, functionality, or style, we've got the perfect fit for every Australian home.

Why bunk beds are a smart choice for families

Families love bunk beds because they’re a smart, space-saving solution that makes rooms more functional and fun. Here’s why they work so well:

• Free up floor space in small bedrooms so kids have room to play and study.
• Create a functional sleeping arrangement for siblings in a shared bedroom.
• Provide extra capacity for sleepovers without needing a new bed.
• Available in a wide range of designs to suit both children’s bedrooms and guest rooms.

Do bunk beds work for adults, too?

Yes, bunk beds can work for adults, but it depends on the design and build quality.

Look for bed frames made of wood, like solid pine or coated steel, as they are stronger and can hold heavier weights. Adults need more headroom, too. So choose a bunk with enough clearance to sit comfortably on the lower bunk and climb safely to the top.

The mattress size matters, too. Standard single bunks may feel cramped, so look at king single bunks, single over double bunk beds, or even queen bunk beds for more room. These styles are perfect for teenagers, guests, and even adults who need extra space.

At Amart, you’ll find a wide range of bunk beds designed with both kids and adults in mind, giving you flexibility, functionality, and style in one smart solution.

The best bunk beds for every need

Every family has different needs, which is why we offer a wide range of bunk beds:

• Single bunk beds: Compact and classic, these are ideal for kids bedrooms and small bedrooms. Some styles can even be separated into two single beds for flexibility.
• Double bunk beds: A solid choice for shared rooms with a little more space.
• Single over double bunk beds (triple bunk beds): Single top bunk and double bottom bunk. Great for sleepovers or larger families.
• King single bunk beds: Perfect for growing kids or teenagers who need more room to stretch. With their extra size, they make a savvy long-term investment.
• Loft beds: A smart choice when floor space is tight. This usually includes a built-in study nook, wardrobe, and storage drawers in the steps, combining both sleeping and storage space. Other options even feature a fun, house-inspired design that kids love.
• Bunk suites: Comes with a double bunk, chest of drawers, and bedside table, creating a coordinated makeover for kids bedrooms.

What is the weight limit for a typical bunk bed?

Weight limits vary depending on the design and intended use.

Most kids' bunk beds are designed for lighter use, with the top bunk typically holding 70–100kg and the bottom bunk around 100–120kg. Bunk beds built for adults are sturdier, often supporting up to 180kg on the top bunk and as much as 220kg on the bottom.

Always check the specifications before buying so you know the bed frame matches your family’s needs.

At what age should kids be in bunk beds?

We recommend that children be at least six years old before sleeping on the top bunk. At that age, they usually have the balance, coordination, and awareness to climb up and down safely.

The bottom bunk is generally safe for younger kids, but it’s still important to use guardrails and teach them how to move around the bed safely.

Age is only one factor, though. A child’s maturity, physical ability, and comfort level matter just as much. If a child struggles with climbing or gets anxious about heights, it may be better to hold off a little longer before letting them use the top bunk.

How can I make the top bunk safer?

While Amart’s bunk beds comply with Australian Safety Standards, there are still several things you can do for more peace of mind:

• Use the correct mattress size so it sits securely within the bed frame.
• Position the bunk away from ceiling fans or light fixtures.
• Teach kids to use the ladder safely and avoid playing on the top bunk.
• Place a night light nearby so climbing down in the dark is easier.
• Avoid placing the bunk bed near windows, cords, or blinds.
• Check the frame, screws, and bolts regularly to make sure nothing is loose.
• Place a soft rug or carpet under the bed to cushion any accidental falls.
• Add padding to sharp corners or edges.

Clever styling ideas to make bunk beds more fun and functional

Bunk beds aren’t just about saving floor space. With some smart styling, they can become the highlight of your kids’ room. Here are some ideas:

• Add colourful bedheads or fun bedding to personalise each bunk.
• Use bedside tables or wall shelves for additional storage and easy access to books and nightlights.
• Create a cosy nook under a loft bed with a desk, beanbags, or play area.
• Use matching bedroom furniture like storage drawers and wardrobes to keep the room organised.
