Any kid is fond of a new bed and especially if they happen to be siblings and they get bunk beds. Bunk beds are both a utilitarian and attractive design. It is basically one-bed frame stacked on top of the other. There is no need for a spring box as the mattress rests on top of a flat surface called a Bunkie board and may be surrounded by rails. Bunk beds allow the accommodation of two kids with space for more activities or furniture such as study tables and cupboards. These beds are usually supported by four pillars, one at each corner. A ladder is used to access the upper bunk and there are railings in place which act as a safeguard to ensure that the sleeper does not fall off. Because of the ladder and the height of the upper bunks, it is not recommended for children below six years of age.

The bottom compartment can be occupied by a chest, cupboard, drawers or even a work area. The major advantage of the loft bunk is the utilization of the vertical space, which otherwise would be rendered useless. Other types of loft beds may also contain a type of stowable and trundle beds, all the while retaining the ability to house a workspace or drawers. Loft beds are more expensive than regular bunk beds as they add more features such as chests and workspaces.
