Metal Bunk Beds – 7 Affordable and Beautiful Beds
Bunk beds allow you to double up the bed space in your kid’s room, without taking too much space. The advantage of buying a metal bunk bed over a wooden or MDF one is that they are more affordable. You can find a wide range of options and designs. Just make sure you’re measured the space you have in your kid’s room so you know that it will fit as planned. You may also want to check our list of the best metal high sleeper beds, however only one child can sleep there.
All metal bunk beds have metal slats, so all you have to do is place the mattress on top. When shopping for a mattress you have to be careful that it doesn’t exceed a certain height limit. Usually a mattress should not be more than 15 cm high (or deep), otherwise the guard rails won’t protect you enough on the top bunk.
Now let’s take a look at the best metal bunk beds, which your kids will absolutely love and won’t break the bank!

1. Argos Home Mason Metal Bunk Bed Frame
We love this metal bunk bed for 2 reasons, it’s very affordable and it comes in three colour choices: black, white or silver. It has a smart and practical design, and you’ll notice that the ladder is integraded (not slanted), so there are no bits sticking out on the floor, and it takes less space. There is lots of underbed storage space, so you can hide away boxes or other items. The maximum user weight limit per bunk is 100 kg, which means that your kids or teens can safely use it. You can also buy it with 2 mattresses included for £270. Or if you already have the mattresses at home, you’ll just need to get the bed frame.
