Bunk beds are very popular in kids' bedrooms. Many people find this to be a more economical way to save on space in a small room, while allowing children to have their own space. In many cases, they are used in conjunction with twin and full beds. But there are also single bunk beds available, which are a popular choice for college students.

Like other bunk bed frames, triple bunk beds feature three levels of beds. The top one is usually higher than the bottom one, providing an extra height for use as a desk or dresser. These are great for rooms that don't have a lot of extra floor space, since the lower level will usually offer enough space for your items.

Unlike some other models, triple bunk beds typically have three separate beds made out of either wood metal or some combination. Each of these materials has its own particular benefits, so it's important to understand them. Metal frames for these beds tend to be lighter than wooden ones, and have fewer moving parts. While moving a metal frame can be a hassle, most of them are made to easily roll or unfold.

Another feature found in many triple bunk beds is a loft platform, or "loft" area. Often this will be located below the middle level and is accessed by sliding a wire ladder up from the bottom. It can be a good idea to have someone on hand to help you lift the ladder into place, since the weight can be quite steep. However, sometimes it's just easier to simply slip the ladder on yourself. Just make sure that the ladder is stable before attempting to climb it.

One more feature to look for when shopping for triple bunk beds is whether or not there are built-in platforms at the top and bottom of the beds. Sometimes, there are separate platforms for the top and bottom beds, but sometimes the bottom platform comes with built-in stairs leading to the upper beds. Either way, the stairs make it much easier to get up and down from the bottom. Some models do not have any stairs, and the upper beds are simply "flat" on top of the platform. Again, if you're climbing a ladder, this might be fine, but if it's a flat bed with no stairs, it might be a better idea to just slip the ladder onto the bed.

There are also many models of triple bunk beds that feature what are called "grooved steps". These are small gaps along the top and bottom of the beds where the bed meets the wall or frame. Usually about midway between the top and bottom of the bed, the grooves allow for easier floor penetration, which can cause problems in humid areas.

Another space-saving feature of triple bunk beds are the "loft" sectional units. These units are just like a regular twin-size bed, but have the ability to convert into a couch when it is not in use. Since the unit can convert into a couch, it is perfect for extra guests who may need to sleep over. If you're lucky, you'll even find these convertible units that come with a pull-out bed in case someone needs to sleep on the sofa during the day. The added space in the corner makes it perfect for an extra bedroom for overnight guests.

So if triple bunk beds are perfect for your children's room, consider purchasing them for your next kids' room. Even if you have small children, you can still have a separate sleeping area for them. The best part is, you get all the benefits without having to sacrifice space. Instead, you'll have three separate rooms in one. And that's really helpful if you have a large family or a child who has unexpected guests. You'll be able to sleep well knowing that your kids are safe and secure.
