People often assume that loft beds and bunk beds are different names for the same bed design, however, the subtle difference between the two types of beds is based on the purpose they serve. While bunk beds provide compact sleeping solutions by stacking multiple twin beds on top of each other, they do not have room to make space for other needs like a writing desk, a wardrobe or chest of drawers and so on. You can buy a bunk bed for your children, to save ground space for two beds, however, you will still have to make room for other necessities, which might take up more floor space. Loft beds, on the other hand, come with other utilities like a writing desk and a chest of drawers, in their mainframe. In fact, loft beds can often act as independent and personal spaces for your children. In all loft bed designs, your child’s bed is on the second bunk, while the lower bunk comprises of efficient seating and storage space.
