Bunk beds are not new. They came into
existence to meet a need that still exists today, that of minimising bed space. But people have grown tired of the
traditional twin over twin design and want something that does more than just save room. Enter, L shaped bunk beds.
L shaped bunk beds or corner bunk beds
comprise the lower bed positioned at right angles to the raised loft bed (hence creating an 'L' shape). This
positioning creates a more open arrangement for the bottom bunk bed user and less of a feeling of being closed in.
They are also more visually appealing to the eye than the traditional bunk bed design.
Because of their configuration, L shaped bunk beds provide owners with
a much more functional approach to childrens bed furniture. Not only do they save on floor space for two or
even three beds but they also can incorporate additional work and storage areas in the same unit. Study
desks, activity space, display shelving and storage areas can all be configured into L shaped bunk beds whilst
maintaining the compact and streamlined nature of the structure.
Bunk Bed Configurations
L shaped bunk beds are not just restricted to twin
beds. If you have the space then consider one of the triple bunk beds that have two loft beds above and one
below. You can also buy beds with a single bed on top and double bed or futon couch underneath or try a single/single/trundle
option. Having room for a third guest is great for those sleepovers that kids love to have.
Choosing the right
size
Whichever option of kids bunk beds that you choose, the main
consideration is always size. Take some measurements of the bedroom and make sure you are happy with the dimensions
of the bunks in relation to the room. If the unit incorporates a desk or activity space then make sure it will be
easily accessible and doesn't encroach on other areas of the room such as a door or wardrobe. If your children are
growing rapidly then choose a bunk bed that will still suit them in two or three years time. It is also a
good idea to check the weight capacity particularly if you are catering for older children and/or
adults.
Bunk Bed Safety
Bunk beds have copped plenty of bad press over the years when it comes
to safety issues but by following a few simple guidelines this doesn't need to be the case with your L shaped
bunk beds. Look for solid construction and if assembling the unit yourself then check and double check every
bolt and screw. A regular maintenance check is essential and should be performed at least weekly but
more often if you have active children.
Bunk bed ladders can be a safety concern particularly with younger
children so consider opting for a bunk bed with stairs that are easier to climb. It is also a good idea to
create some definitive ground rules when it comes to playing on the beds and definitely never allow children
to use the loft bed as a springboard or trampoline.
