When thinking about furnishing an educational setting, such as student accommodation or a boarding school, bunk beds may be at the top of your list. They offer a great space-saving sleeping option and allow for easily accessible storage solutions under the bottom bunk.
It’s often the case that people’s last memory of bunk beds is of slightly unstable, wobbly, and child-size bunks. Although often good enough for a home setting, beds in an educational setting need to be significantly more long-lasting, so that they don’t have to be replaced frequently, often at great expense. This is where contract bedroom furniture comes in. This ultra-durable furniture is built specifically to withstand a higher level of wear and tear.
While contract bunk beds are ideal for educational and institutional settings, choosing the right type of bunk bed for your needs, whether for home or commercial use, requires careful consideration. If you're exploring all your options and want a deeper understanding of styles, safety features, and configurations, take a look at our Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Right Bunk Bed for Your Home. It’s packed with expert tips to help you make the best long-term investment, no matter your setting.
So, aside from offering a great space-saving solution, when it comes to your students’ sleeping arrangements, why are contract bunk beds such a great choice?
Easy to Assemble
The last thing you need when furnishing a large number of student rooms is a time-consuming flat pack. Pages of instructions, missing bolts, finding specialist tools – all of this adds up to some significant stress. The Bircham Bunk Bed, like the one found at Reinforced Beds, actually has no bolts at all and does not require any tools to assemble. Due to its clever design, it can be put together in under 6 minutes. Each component part slides and clips into place, without the need for screws or bolts.

Built for Adults
Whether you are offering student accommodation, or perhaps are looking to furnish your boarding school, you need to consider that children do not stay small for very long. By the early to late teenage stage, many young people can be over 6 foot tall. These contract bunk beds are designed to accommodate a range of sizes, with a weight limit of up to 20 stone per bunk. Although not suitable for children under 6-years-old, they can certainly handle a large adult.
Durable
Specially designed to withstand more than the usual domestic deterioration, contract bunk beds are made from very durable material. Their strength is based around a combination of metal tubular bars and strengthened steel.
Contract bedroom furniture is a great choice when fulfilling the dual objective of furnishing multiple rooms with highly durable and long-lasting furniture. A full range is on offer, including wardrobes, drawer chests, headboards, regular beds, desks and chairs, all combining a clean and modern look.
