Finding the right kind of bed for hostels can be challenging when you want to provide comfort to the residents while saving space. 3 bed bunk bed can be a suitable choice for hostels and dormitories to provide individual sleeping solutions in the best way.
This article covers everything you need to know about beds in dormitories and hostels.
3 Bunk Beds in One Designs
Three-tier Stacked Triple Beds
When considering 3 bunk beds in one for hostels, the three-tier stack triple bed is the most common. These beds have three twin beds stacked on top of each other to accommodate one person each. You can also get these beds in a double bed variant if there is enough space or the hostel accommodates two people on one bed. However, it is better to get a twin bed so everyone can sleep comfortably in their bed.
Two-tier Triple Beds
Two-tier triple beds at MK Furnishings are popular among parents because of their safety and convenience. These beds have two single beds vertically arranged under a horizontally placed bed. While they are perfect for rooms with lower ceilings, two-tier bunks with three beds might not be the best idea space-wise for hostels. Yet, these beds are ideal if the rooms have a low ceiling and enough space.
Single and Double Beds
Single and double bed is another popular triple bed variant suitable for three people. It has a double bed under a single bed to accommodate three people simultaneously. Though we don’t recommend these beds for hostels, the choices may vary.
Quad Bunk Beds
Besides 3 tier bunkbeds, quad bunk beds are also suitable for hostels and dormitories as they have four beds that are best for four people. These beds look like two standard two-tier bunk beds next to each other. Apart from triple beds, quad bunk beds are common and popular in hostels to maximize space utilization.
Now that you know the available styles of bunk beds for hostels and dormitories, let’s share the choices of materials for the bunk beds.
3 Bed Bunk Bed Materials
Wood
Wood is the most widely preferred material for furniture, including bunk beds. It is among the most durable and long-lasting materials, making it popular among parents for children’s and teenagers’ room furniture. Furthermore, wooden furniture offers more personalization options. Despite being long-lasting, wood is heavy and not usually preferred for hostel room furniture.
Metal
You will mostly see metal 3 tier bunkbeds in hostels and dormitories because they are convenient to move and offer enough rigidity for adults and youngsters. Metal bunk beds are also sturdy but more susceptible to rust. At the same time, the customization options are limited, and you can choose from a few choices only. However, metal is comparatively lightweight with a thinner frame than wooden beds, making it suitable for hostels.
Ladder/ Staircase
Ladder
Opposed to residential triple beds, you will find ladders in almost all beds in hostels. It is typically because the age group staying in hostels can easily climb the ladder and do not require added support, unlike young children. Also, ladders take less space than stairs, making them suitable for hostel bunk beds.
Staircase
Though bunk beds in dormitories and hostels usually have ladders, a staircase can also be attached to the 3 bunk beds in one. The staircase takes more space and has a storage area in the steps to keep items safe. Moreover, MK Furnishings offers personalization, including custom paint and vinyl cutouts on the stairs.
Storage in 3 Tier Bunkbeds in Hostels and Dormitories
Storage in Stairs
Tripe beds with stairs have storage within the stair steps. The steps are spacious enough to keep things like clothes, bedding, books, toys, and much more. However, stairs are not as common in hostel beds, leading to the need for storage solutions.
Storage under the Bed
Besides the stairs, most beds, especially wooden ones, have storage under the bottom bunk. Wooden bunk beds typically come with under-the-bed storage. However, you might need to ask the manufacturer for storage under the 3 bed bunk bed when buying a metal frame bunk.
Storage add-ons
You might not usually find designs with storage space when opting for a metal frame with a ladder. In such situations, you can use additional storage boxes or hanging organizers to store your things.
3 tier bunkbeds are the most common in hostels and dormitories to save space and offer maximum area utilization. MK Furnishings offers multiple 3 bed bunk bed varieties to cater to your needs.
