This collection currently features a single design: a red fire-engine themed bunk bed made for children. It brings a bit of fun to a child's room while doing the practical job of a bunk bed — fitting two sleeping spaces into the floor area of one — which makes it a good fit for a shared bedroom, a smaller room, or for sleepovers. A themed design like this can also make bedtime a little easier, giving a child a bed they are genuinely pleased to use.
It is out of stock at the moment, so if it is what you are after, use the “Notify me when back in stock” option on the product page or call us to ask about availability. For our main furniture ranges in the meantime, browse our full sofas collection.
Space-saving is the main reason people choose a bunk bed. By stacking two beds vertically, a bunk bed uses roughly the floor area of a single bed while sleeping two, which frees up valuable space for play, storage or a desk. That makes it a smart choice for a shared child's room or a smaller bedroom.
It is also a practical answer for sleepovers and visiting cousins, giving a second bed without needing a second room, and it can free up enough floor area to fit in a desk or storage that a room with two separate beds simply would not have space for. For other bed options, take a look at our wider beds range.
Used correctly, a bunk bed is a safe and popular choice, but the safety features matter. Look for sturdy guard rails on all open sides of the top bunk, with gaps small enough that a child cannot slip through, a securely fixed ladder, and a strong, stable frame. Allow only one child on the top bunk at a time, avoid letting children play or jump on the top bunk, and keep it clear of ceiling lights and other fixtures.
It is worth checking the frame and all fixings regularly once the bed is in use, and always reading the safety information supplied with the bed. For younger children in particular, following the guidance below on age is important. To browse other pieces for a child's room, see our children's furniture range.
General safety guidance is that the top bunk is not suitable for children under six years old, because younger children are more at risk of falls. Below that age, the lower bunk is the safer place to sleep, and the top can be brought into use as the child grows.
Age guidance can vary by design, so always follow the specific recommendation provided with the individual bed rather than a general rule of thumb. It can also help to talk younger children through using the ladder safely and to set some simple rules for the top bunk before they start sleeping there.
Check the product page for the mattress size the frame is designed to take, as many children's bunk beds use a standard single. Depth matters just as much as size: on the top bunk, the mattress must not be so thick that it reduces the effective height of the guard rail, which needs to stay well above the mattress surface to do its job.
A mattress that is too deep is a genuine safety risk on a top bunk, so it is worth measuring rather than guessing. As a rule of thumb, the guard rail should still sit clearly above the top of the mattress once it is in place. If you need a mattress to go with the bed, our mattresses range is the place to look.
The key measurement for a bunk bed is ceiling height. Allow enough clearance above the top mattress for a child to sit up comfortably without hitting the ceiling — measure from floor to ceiling and compare it against the bed's overall height plus the mattress depth.
Also plan the footprint and the space around the ladder, and keep the top bunk away from ceiling lights, fans and other fixtures. The product page lists the exact dimensions so you can check it against your room, and our team on 02476 705 600 can talk measuring through with you if you are unsure.
A themed design like the fire-engine bunk bed adds a bit of fun and character to a child's room, turning a practical piece of furniture into something they are excited to use. A bold red theme suits a playful, energetic room and can be a great centrepiece to build the rest of the décor around.
If a themed look is not what you are after, a plainer design may suit a room the child will grow into for longer. To browse other options for a child's room, see our children's furniture range.
If you are weighing up the options, the difference comes down to space and flexibility. A bunk bed stacks two sleeping spaces vertically, using far less floor area, which is ideal for a smaller or shared room. Two single beds take up more space but keep both beds at floor level, which can suit very young children better.
A bunk bed is the more space-saving option; two singles are the more flexible one. Which is right depends on the room, the ages of the children, and how the space is used day to day. If two separate beds suit you better, our wider beds range is the place to look.
Delivery is free to England and Wales, and most in-stock items arrive within 7–10 working days. Bunk beds usually arrive flat-packed and are assembled at home, so the delivery and packaging can differ from our sofas — the product page confirms the details for this bed.
Correct assembly matters for safety: follow the instructions supplied, tighten all fixings fully, and check them again before use. You can read our general delivery terms on the delivery information page.
