A double bunk bed combines a full double bed on the bottom with a single bed above, giving you two proper sleeping surfaces without doubling your floor space. At Land of Beds, we've been helping people across the UK find the right bed for over 50 years. Our double bunk bed range is wooden, comes with a 1 year guarantee, and starts from £749. Free mainland UK delivery, our Price Promise Guarantee, and expert advice are included as standard.

A double bunk bed solves a specific problem: how to fit a genuinely comfortable double bed and a second sleeping space into one room, without needing the floor space two separate beds would take. It's a step up from a traditional single-over-single bunk, since the bottom bunk offers a full-sized sleeping surface for an adult or a growing teenager, not just a child's bed. At Land of Beds, we've spent over 50 years helping people work out whether a double bunk bed genuinely fits their room and how they'll use it.
Three things determine whether a double bunk bed is right for your room.
| Factor | Why It Matters | What to Check |
|---|---|---|
| Ceiling height | You'll generally need at least 8 feet of ceiling height for comfortable headroom on both levels, though this varies by model. | Your room's ceiling height against the individual product's dimensions |
| Who will use each bunk | It's generally recommended that children under 6 sleep on the bottom bunk rather than the top. | The ages of everyone who'll be using the bed, and the manufacturer's safety guidance |
| Mattress compatibility | The top and bottom bunks take different mattress sizes, and some models need a specific thickness for the guardrails to work safely. | The mattress size and maximum thickness listed for each bunk on the individual product page |

A double bunk bed combines two different bed sizes in one frame, so check both before ordering mattresses or bedding.
| Component | Dimensions | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Top bunk | Single (3ft), 90 x 190cm | Children, teens, or an adult wanting a lighter, more compact sleeping space |
| Bottom bunk | Double (4ft 6), 135 x 190cm | An adult, a couple, or older teens wanting a full-sized sleeping surface |
Always check the individual listing for maximum ceiling height requirements and mattress thickness limits before ordering. See our What Makes a Good Mattress? guide for help choosing mattresses for both bunks.

In our showrooms, customers considering a double bunk bed are usually planning for mixed use, a guest room that occasionally sleeps a couple, or a teen's room that needs to double as a space for friends staying over, rather than a straightforward kids' bedroom.
Double bunk beds in this range currently start from £749. As a more specialist category, the choice is currently more about finish and colour than a wide spread of budget tiers.
