Paddington Dark Grey Wooden Single Bunk Bed

The Paddington from Land of Beds is a dark grey particleboard and steel single-over-single bunk bed with built-in shelves on both bunks, a steel guard rail on the top bunk and an angled ladder with grab handles and glow-in-the-dark strips, designed for two children sharing a room, with an optional mattress bundle available at checkout.

Best for

• Two children sharing a room - the single-over-single configuration gives each child their own full-length sleeping space
• Children who like their things close by - built-in shelves on both bunks keep books, toys and bedtime essentials within easy reach
• Parents who want reassurance on top bunk safety - the steel guard rail, large ladder grab handles and glow-in-the-dark strips all help children climb and sleep securely
• Families who want everything ready to go - the optional mattress bundle adds two Capsule Reflex mattresses that sit within the 18cm top bunk depth limit
• Sleepers up to 76kg (12st) on the top bunk and 76kg (12st) on the lower bunk

Not ideal for

• Children under 6 years old - the top bunk is not recommended for children under 6. The lower bunk only is suitable for younger children.
• Those who need a thick mattress on the top bunk - the maximum mattress depth for the top bunk is 18cm; mattresses deeper than this reduce the effective guard rail height. Check before ordering.
• Those who want to split the bunk into two single beds - the Paddington cannot be separated into two single beds.

Worth Knowing

• Safety note: the top bunk is not recommended for children under 6 years old. The guard rail is designed to work with a mattress up to 18cm deep - do not use a mattress deeper than this on the top bunk.
• Mattresses are not included. Two standard UK single mattresses (90 x 190cm) are needed, each no deeper than 18cm. An optional mattress bundle can be added at checkout - see the Complete Your Sleep Set-Up section below.
• This bunk bed arrives flat packed in 4 boxes and requires approximately 45 minutes to assemble with two people. Professional assembly is not available for bunk beds.
• The Paddington can be taken down and reassembled if needed - keep the instructions for future reference.

Particleboard and Steel Frame
What it is: A bunk bed frame made from foil-wrapped particleboard in a dark grey finish, with a powder-coated steel guard rail and ladder handles.
How it helps you: The foil-wrapped surface is smooth and easy to wipe clean, and the powder-coated steel adds strength and a hard-wearing finish to the parts children hold most.

Wooden Slatted Base
What it is: A slatted wooden base supporting the mattress on each bunk.
How it helps you: Allows air to circulate beneath the mattress, helping it breathe for a more comfortable sleep.

Angled Ladder with Grab Handles
What it is: A fixed, angled ladder with wide, flat steps and large steel grab handles on both sides.
How it helps you: The handles give children something secure to hold as they climb, and the angled design with wide steps is easier to climb than a vertical ladder.

Glow-in-the-Dark Ladder Strips
What it is: Stick-on glow-in-the-dark strips applied to the ladder steps.
How it helps you: Helps children locate the ladder safely in the dark without turning on the main light and disturbing anyone else in the room.

Top Bunk Guard Rail
What it is: A powder-coated steel guard rail along the open side of the top bunk, with a panelled head end, an opening beside the ladder, and a high shelving panel along the wall side.
How it helps you: Helps prevent the sleeper from rolling out during the night - the rail is designed to be used with a mattress no deeper than 18cm, which keeps the effective rail height within the safety specification.

Built-In Shelves
What it is: Shelves integrated into the frame, running along the wall side of both the top and bottom bunks.
How it helps you: Keeps books, toys, and bedtime essentials within easy reach without needing extra furniture.

Low-Profile Lower Bunk
What it is: The lower bunk is positioned close to the floor.
How it helps you: Reduces the risk of injury for younger or smaller children climbing in and out of bed.

Vs mid sleepers: A mid sleeper has an elevated single bunk with usable space beneath - usually a desk, pull-out bed, or storage - but sleeps only one child. A bunk bed sleeps two in a similar vertical footprint. If you need to sleep two children in one room, a bunk bed is the more space-efficient choice. If you need a workstation or play area beneath the bed for one child, a mid sleeper is the better fit.

Vs high sleepers: A high sleeper raises a single bed to a greater height than a mid sleeper, with a full workstation, sofa, or wardrobe underneath. It sleeps one child and suits teenagers who want a dedicated study or lounge space. A bunk bed prioritises sleeping capacity over under-bed functionality. If sleeping two is the goal, a bunk bed delivers it more directly.

Vs other bunk beds in the range: The Paddington pairs built-in shelves on both bunks with a steel guard rail and a ladder with large grab handles, giving it a sturdy, modern feel. Simpler single-over-single bunk beds without shelving are typically lower in price, while bunk beds with under-bed drawers or a trundle add more storage or an extra sleeping space. If you want two sleeping spaces with handy shelving and an optional mattress bundle, the Paddington covers it all in one frame.

Mattresses are not included with the Paddington. Two standard UK single mattresses (90 x 190cm) are required - one for each bunk. The maximum mattress depth for the top bunk is 18cm; any single mattress under this depth is compatible with both bunks. If you would prefer a matched recommendation, the following mattress has been selected to work with this bed, and a pair can be added at checkout.

Capsule Reflex Mattress

• Medium (3/6) feel - suits side, back, front and combination sleepers, balancing comfort and support for growing children
• Foam construction - gives consistent, even support across the whole sleeping surface
• Reflex foam - compresses under pressure and springs back to shape, giving hypoallergenic, pressure-relieving support that helps minimise tossing and turning
• Breathable Tencel cover - naturally moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating, helping to keep your child cool and fresh through the night
• Easy care - no need to turn, though regular head-to-toe rotation will help extend the mattress's lifespan
• 12.5cm deep - at 12.5cm deep, this mattress is within the 18cm top bunk limit and is suitable for both bunks
• Made in the UK

The Paddington gives two children their own full-length sleeping space, with built-in shelves on both bunks, a steel guard rail on the top bunk and an angled ladder with grab handles and glow-in-the-dark strips that make night-time trips safer. Finished in a modern dark grey, it is a practical, space-saving choice for a shared bedroom. An optional bundle of two Capsule Reflex mattresses is available at checkout.
