This Ladder design bunk bed is part of the Cottage Collection. The name is for the built-in ladder on both headboards.

Colour is in White Stain finish. You can match the white color bunk bed with any bedding or existing furniture since there is little variation in pure white color.

Size of this bunk bed is Twin extra long over Full extra long which is also known as single over double extra long. Twin XL and Full XL have the same length as Queen size.

Made of solid Southern Yellow Pine. Yellow Pine is denser than our own BC pine. It is also used in building roller coasters.

Usability

With 400 weight capacity on each deck, you can use this bunk bed for kids, teens and adults as well as using it at home or in commercial settings such as BnB.

This bunk bed comes in 65”H. We recommend to use the 65” version if you have small kids or low ceiling and use the 73” version for teens or adults. Both options are fine for a standard 8 foot ceiling.

Ladder Design Bunk Bed is available in every possible size. Take advantage of extra long versions for teens or grown ups. Single, or twin, XL over queen is what we suggest for guest room or rental properties.

You can divide this bunk into two individual beds. If upper and lower bunks are the same size, for example queen over queen, you will get two identical beds after you seperate your bunk bed. Upper headboards become your footboards and lower ones become your headboards and you end up with a high/low look.

Slats

Slats are made of solid wood as well. They are 5.5” wide each and you get 9 slats per deck, that is, 9 for lofts and 18 per bunk bed. Space between the slats are roughly 3.5” for single size and a bit more for extra long versions since both sizes use the same number of slats. If you wish to add more slats to reduce the space between them it is possible to buy Individual Slat.

Under Bed Storage

Add a storage trundle under the Ladder design bunk bed so as to maximize your space. This is a very useful add-on item and we highly recommend it. You can use it for one extra mattress by removing the dividers, or use it as one giant storage space for sheets, blankets, or anything else. This unit is roll-in and roll-out.
If you prefer storage with its own rollers so drawers are not on the ground, you can consider our under bed dresser.

Safety

Our finishes include volatile organic compounds (or VOC's) in their liquid form. These ingredients are used to allow finishes to be applied by spraying. Once a finish is applied the ingredients evaporate during the drying and curing process releasing the VOC's. Finished wood surfaces do not emit VOC's once they are cured.

Ladder bunk is perfect for any age. Kids, teens, or adults all can use this bunk without a problem. This is because it can hold 400 lbs of weight on the upper bunk and 400 lb on lower bunk. To achieve this weight rating, the mattress rail on this bunk is a solid and very thick piece of wood without finger joints, just a long solid piece of timber.

Headboard joints are traditional and robust mortise and tenon.

There are 4 metal pings between upper and lower bunk. You do not see them, they are inside the wood. They are about 2” in length.

Another nice safety feature is the complete enclosure of the upper bunk. Since you climb from the headboard, there is no need for a large opening gap.

Climbing

The big feature of this bunk is the built-in ladder. You do not need an additional ladder, just use headboards to climb. This style of ladder actually is easier to use than a normal ladder since the ladder acts like monkey bars.
If you wish to add a ladder however, it is possible to do so. We do sell ladders individually as well.

Assembly

Assembly of Ladder Design bunk is fairly simple. You do not need to assemble the 4 headboards and guardrails. Only you need to slide in the guard rails, connect mattress rails, and screw in the slats.

Mattress Size

Standard size mattress fits this bunk bed just fine. For the upper bunk, you can use a maximum 8” thick mattress. As for the lower bunk, keep your mattress at 6” thick for 65” height and 8” for 73” hieght version.

We sell mattresses separately as there are a few good options to choose from.
