About Bunk Beds

A bunk bed is a great idea for a child's room. Bunk beds save space and at the same are great fun. Friends can stay over. Your little ones will make good use of this new piece of bedroom furniture. Children often create a play-house by putting blankets over the bed posts. Put a pirate flag on the bunk bed and you have a Pirate Ship!

Bunk Beds fall under the UK government Health and Safety regulations of 1987 - see this government website for details. Parents are strongly advised to familiarise themselves with bunk bed safety requirements.

EN747-1 - Bunk Bed Safety Standard

The European standard EN747-1 was published in 1993, superseding BS6998. This standard deals with raised beds, including bunk beds, midsleepers and highsleepers. It covers the design of these beds for the safety of occupants and users - including the bars or supports that stop the occupant falling out and the design, construction and fitting of ladders and steps for accessing the bed. The dimensions and requirements for the safe manufacture and sale of bunk beds is also covered by law in England and Wales.
