5 Benefits of a Triple Bunk Bed

1. Fit More Sleepers

For starters, a triple bunk bed means triple the sleeping space!

The stacked design fits three beds in the footprint of one, saving so much valuable floor space. Additionally, the clever setup provides each sleeper with their own cozy, private nook, perfect for a restful night's sleep. Great for shared rooms, sibling sleepovers, or overnight guests, three beds in one make bedtime simple, fun, and organized.

Choose from a variety of sizes to best suit your setup. At Maxtrix, we offer triple bunks in Twin, Twin XL, Full, and even Queen frames. These spacious sizing options provide plenty of room for families, guests, and everyone in between to sleep comfortably.

2. Flexible Layout Options 

A common misconception is that triple bunks are tricky to fit into bedrooms, but the truth is, triple bunk beds can work well in rooms of all shapes and sizes!

For smaller rooms, our traditional stacked triple bunk is ideal, taking up minimal floor space. Each bunk includes two ladders, with customizable options for straight or angled designs. Plus, with a wide range of finishes and styles, finding your perfect match is easy.

Our stacked triple bunk is taller than standard bunk beds. Always check dimensions before ordering and ensure your ceiling height allows enough clearance above the top bunk. We recommend a minimum ceiling height of 10 feet for a safe, comfortable fit.

If you’ve got a larger or uniquely shaped room, explore our corner triple bunk beds to make the most of every inch. These versatile designs combine three beds–a bunk and a loft–creating open space underneath for storage or play. Available in combinations like Twin over Full or Twin XL over Queen, there’s a setup for every family.

Want even more customization? Choose your preferred entry style with straight ladders, angled ladders, or staircase designs. Additionally, you can mix and match options to best suit your layout. 

With so many sizes and configuration options, Maxtrix allows you to make your stacked or L-shaped triple bunk uniquely yours!

3. Sturdy and Safe Build

At Maxtrix, safety is always our top priority, because your family’s well-being means everything to us.

Maxtrix triple bunks for kids are crafted from solid hardwood for unmatched stability and strength. Each bed supports between 800 and 2,000 pounds (800 lbs for Twin and Full; 2,000 lbs for Twin XL and Queen), so you can rest easy knowing it’s built to handle it all. Finally, premium wood construction offers lasting durability, ready for years of comfort and safety.

Each bed frame is reinforced with our solid steel, patented Rock Lock® connections, ensuring rock-solid strength and a sturdy frame you can count on. Even better, high 16” guardrails on both upper bunks keep sleepers safe and secure night after night.

With impressive weight capacities and ultra-stable construction, you can rest easy knowing your heavy-duty triple bunk bed is ready for kids, teens, and even adult sleepers. Built for serious durability and everyday adventures, it’s kid-proof strength that stands the test of time.

4. Cozy Sleep

So far, we’ve checked the boxes for safety, stability, and saving bedroom space, but what about a good night’s sleep? Don’t worry, our children's triple bunk beds deliver on that, too!

The space between bunks is designed for maximum comfort: 32.5 inches between the bottom and middle bunks, and 30 inches between the middle and top. That means plenty of room to sit up, stretch out, and snooze soundly!

For the best fit, we recommend a low-profile mattress between 5" to 8" thick. Our Maxtrix mattress collection is made just for that, low enough to maintain guardrail safety and headspace, but plush enough to offer the soft, supportive comfort kids love.
