FAQ:

What age should a kid have a bunk bed?

  • Maxtrix recommends bunk beds for kids ages 6 and up. Of course, every child is different, so you know best when they’re ready. For extra safety, look for bunks with guardrails and a sturdy staircase.

Can adults go on bunk beds?

  • Yes, some bunk beds can hold adults, but always check the weight capacity to be sure. Maxrtix’s bunks have a resting weight capacity of 800-2000 pounds, which is double the minimum requirement. 

What is the difference between a loft bed and a bunk bed?

  • A bunk bed has two stacked beds, while a loft bed is one bed raised up high with open space underneath for play, storage, or a desk. Both are great, space-saving options for kiddos!

Is a bunk bed 1 or 2 beds?

  • A bunk bed is two beds stacked in one frame. This doubles the sleep space without using extra room. Maxtrix bunks can be reconfigured or taken apart for a flexible setup that grows with your family.
