Can Our Bunk Beds Be Used by Adults?

🧍‍♂️ Can Our Bunk Beds Be Used by Adults?

Yes — our bunk beds can absolutely be used by adults. In fact, at Strictly Beds and Bunks, we design and manufacture a full range of heavy-duty pine bunk beds that are specifically engineered to handle adult use — whether in family homes, shared accommodations, hostels, or rental properties.

We’re proud to say all our beds are handmade in the UK using solid, sustainably sourced pine and are rigorously tested to meet the British Safety Standard BS EN 747:2015+A1:2015. So if you’re wondering whether our bunk beds are strong enough, comfortable enough, and suitable for grown-ups — the answer is a confident yes.

💪 Built for Strength: Up to 23 Stone Per Bunk

Every adult bunk bed we produce is designed with reinforced solid pine frames and extra-thick slats, giving each bunk a weight capacity of up to 149kg (that’s 23 stone). We don’t rely on MDF, chipboard, or imported flimsy panels — just proper British-made carpentry that’s built to last.

This makes our adult-capable bunk beds ideal for:

Guest rooms in family homes
Student housing and HMOs
Holiday cottages or rentals
Hostels and staff accommodation

Whether it’s a teenager or a fully grown adult, you can count on a Strictly Beds and Bunks frame to hold up night after night.

🛠️ Heavy-Duty by Design – Not Just a Marketing Line

We don’t just call our beds “heavy-duty” — we prove it. Our adult bunk beds use:

Extra thick 75mm corner posts for stability
Solid pine side rails, not hollow tubes or veneer panels
Slatted bases that span the entire length of the bunk with central support
Proper bolts and fixings — no cam-lock screws or dowels here

They’re not just safe — they’re engineered to outperform even most standard adult beds.

📏 Full-Size Sleeping Space – No Compromises

Many of our bunk beds for adults come in full 3ft single, 4ft small double, or 4ft6 double sizes — giving plenty of space for a comfortable sleep. We also make triple sleeper bunk beds (double on the bottom, single on top) to offer even more flexibility in multi-user rooms.

This isn’t kids’ furniture scaled up — these are fully-fledged sleeping solutions for grown-ups who want strength, comfort, and smart use of space.

🛡️ Safety Standards Still Apply

All our adult bunk beds still comply with the BS EN 747 safety standard, which includes things like:

Guard rail height on the upper bunk
Ladder rung spacing and grip
Mattress depth compliance
Frame durability and resistance to collapse

Even for adult use, safety matters — and we’ve made sure our designs are up to the job.

🇬🇧 Made in the UK – Built for Real Life

Unlike many cheaper imported beds, all our bunk beds are made in our Bedfordshire workshop using Scandinavian pine. That means no delays, no missing parts, and free next-day replacements if anything does go wrong. It’s just one of the benefits of buying directly from the UK’s leading pine bunk bed manufacturer.

We even offer optional reinforced upgrades for customers needing extra support — whether that’s for high-traffic use, larger adults, or just peace of mind.
