Nootka Bunk Bed

Nootka bunk bed is part of our Vanisla Collection. The name is from a small town on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Made of solid rubberwood. Rubberwood is from a rubber tree, native to southeast Asia. It is considered hardwood and sustainable.

Usability

You can add drawers or storage trundle under the Nootka bunk bed or use a hanging tray for extra storage.

Nootka bunk stands at an ideal height of 69”. Today’s standard ceiling is 96” so you have plenty of space on the top bunk and lots of clearance on the lower bunk.

This bunk divides into two individual beds. In other words on a single over single model, you end up with two identical single beds. You have 4 headboards, 2 on top bunks and 2 on the lower bunk. The 2 on top bunk are low in height and the 2 on lower bunk are high height. When you split the bunk to two beds, you use the 2 high ones as headboards. Then you combine them with two low ones as footboards. This way you will end up with two identical beds.

Nootka bunk bed is perfect for any age. Kids, teens, or adults all can use this bunk without a problem. This is because it can hold 220 lbs of weight on the upper bunk. We tested it in our store, two of us climbed the bunk and sat on top bunk w/o any issues or hearing any noise.

Safety

Another cool feature of this bunk is the use of brackets. There are 4 brackets in a single over single version and 2 brackets on single over double version. These brackets secure upper to lower bunk for extra safety. On top of that 4 metal pings of 3” in length each between upper and lower bunk for rock-solid construction. You do not see them, they are inside the wood.

Climbing

Nootka bunk bed uses a vertical ladder which makes easier to access under the bunk and saves more space. You can install the ladder on the right or left side. No need to specify this when you order. This is the default option. You decide on where to install it during assembly.

Assembly

Assembly of Nootka bunk is fairly simple. All 4 headboards and ladder are assembled. You need to install guard rails, connect mattress rails, and slats. Slats are made of solid wood as well. They are layers of glued wood, as in plywood, for extra strength. You may see some puddy here and there which is normal.

Mattress Size

Standard single, or twin, size mattress fits this bunk bed just fine. For the upper bunk, use a mattress maximum of 6” thick. For lower bunk, you can use a mattress of 6” - 8” in thickness since the lower bunk is very spacious.

Price includes a bunk bed frame which ladder is part of. We sell mattresses and accessories separately.
