Distinction Between Bunk Beds And Loft Beds

Though best meant to be part of home décor and sold as furniture for resting and sleeping, there are differences between bunk beds and loft beds which cannot be ignored. The Bunk beds and loft beds have a couple of major elements in common. They save floor space and they stand high off the ground, making them a popular bed choice for small bedrooms.

 However, some differences exist and these differences can serve as a way for the end user, consumer of the product to understand the difference between bunk and loft beds and choose the product which serves them better.

1. The first difference comes in the definition of the product, which is just a precursor to the overall utility of a product. A loft bed replaces the bottom bunk of a bunk bed with a dresser and drawers that are tucked under the top bed while Bunk beds feature two beds---one stacked on top of the other.
2. Additionally, many loft beds are nothing more than a glorified raised bed. The bed itself often stands as high as four feet from the floor and has only open space underneath the bed. This area is used for storage. This set up saves floor space, because instead of building in an outward direction, loft beds are constructed in an upward fashion. On the other hand, bunk beds have two beds one stacked on top of the other. Bunk beds sometimes have the option of separating the unit into two pieces, making two smaller beds.
3. These beds are manufactured using a number of different materials, including wood and metal. Additionally, both loft beds and bunk beds feature bed bumpers, which prevent the person in the top bed from falling out of bed.
4. The term Loft bed refers to a single bed, either twin or full size, that is elevated high off the floor. On the other hand, the term bunk bed refers to a bed that has two bunks. This can be a twin bed over another twin, twin over full or sometimes even full over twin.
