By centering the ladder, the loft bed became more stable. The ladder also serves as a guard rail for the bunk bed – because children’s beds should be safe places, no matter if you are in the middle of play or deep in the world of dreams. That is why our children’s beds undergo rigorous furniture tests. The industry’s safety standards are very strict, but we take it further. When working with TUFFING, we focused especially on avoiding gaps and openings where small hands and feet can easily get stuck. When we had a model of the bed, it underwent two weeks of intense fatigue tests where the bed frame was continuously exposed to strong forces.

Product details
By having a bunk bed instead of two single beds, you free up some much-needed square feet on the floor for playing and other activities.
Easier to make the beds and give your children a good-night hug since the bed is lower than other bunk beds.
A good solution where space is limited.
It’s easier to get in and out of the bed with a centered ladder.
The children can put their own stamp on their little nook of space by choosing bedding that they like.

Reviews
Great low bunk bed.MelissaRecently became a single parent and had to set up a bedroom for two kids. The room has a sloping cieling so this lower bunk bed fit very well. It seems very sturdy now that I have it all assembled. I assembled it by myself without help from anyone which was difficult (took me about 4 hours and I am very mechanically enclined). If I had someone else to help it would have been much easier/ quicker. Very solid bunk bed though and I am very happy with the purchase.
TuffingKimPerfect for small spaces. Easy assembly.
Difficult setup/ Stitching came looseJenneI am not going to lie this design is HARD! It took my husband and i hours to get it right. Instructions were so useless and confusing. At the end of the day we were able to successfully finish. Kids loved it. We live in a tight space and this bunk bed works great for my 5 year old and 7 year old. The stitching ripped and we probably had the bed for a month. We are hoping it lasts us a while. Would we purchase this again, no. We would get the wooden framed bed instead.
Space savings solutionLuisSpace savings solution. Exactly what I was looking for.
Not good at allUzma1st of all very hard to put togather. Very frusterating to put it togather. Second not even one extra screw is given. And the the fabric that holds things togather makes it hard to put it togather. Would not recommend it for the money they are charging. One jump on the top bunk the planks are coming out.
Surprisingly Easy to Assemble (with Common Sense & a Good Screwdriver!)LuisEven though I do not have two degrees in mechanical engineering to put this bunk bed together. I got to say it was easy a ll I needed was my Fanttik NEX S1 Pro screwdriver (Costco special), a little common sense, and an iced coffee my wife made me.
It took me about two hours—but that’s because I was also watching a movie. If you can tell the difference between a screw and a leg bolt, you’ll be fine. Save the engineering degree for building rockets, not bunk beds.
FYI, the only reason why I,m not giving it a 5 stars is because the package did not included extra screws.
Solid, but unbelievably difficult to assemble ThomasThis was without a doubt, the most difficult piece of IKEA furniture my wife and I have ever put together. It took over two hours!
Our house is basically an IKEA showroom. We’ve put together so many different series of IKEA furniture, including PAX and some of the more complicated kitchen cabinets. Lots of MALM and BESTA. In other words, we know what we’re doing putting together IKEA furniture and we’re generally very good at it and find the instructions and the methods easy to understand and relatively easy to execute.
The instructions weren’t horrible on this one, though they’re definitely not the best, it was just that the execution was so incredibly difficult. The parts were difficult to thread through the fabric, Every bolt was difficult to lineup, the fabric kept getting in the way, things kept falling over and popping out of place.
It is just a very, very, very difficult design.
Horrible Instructions!!!MarcosSturdy once built, but the instructions are definitively wrong. Poles face the wrong way and so many unclear parts. I had to watch a YouTube video to get clarity on a bunch of areas. Took me 3 hours and needed a 2nd person for several steps.
Worst assembly experience of my lifeAnonymous reviewerI have two degrees in mechanical engineering and I want to throw this bed into a volcano. Unlike many many IKEA products, it’s extremely difficult to assemble. The bolts, fabric, and cross beams are all poorly designed for assembly. Easy to do wrong and hard to do right.
Great beds for price! Perfect for big and small kids for a tight space.StacyFits perfect in my master bedroom as I share space with my 5 and 6 year old boys. They have the perfect corner space now and their own beds!
Solid Budget Bunk - Horrible Assembly OscarI’ve built several ikea products in the past. This by far was the worst especially towards the end. Solid bunk for kids if you can build it.
Worth it VeronicaThis bunkbed is affordable and sturdy. The building process wasn’t bad until the end but I figured it out. Overall, it’s a great buy and the kids love it!
A Test of Love.JoseI attempted and successfully assembled this bunk bed in one afternoon whilst a whole season of King of the Hill played in the background.
I was frustrated, sweaty, angry, and tested as a grown man. I constantly told myself “ It’s for the children. It’s for them. You can do this.”- 3 Stars.
Bunk bed frame EvelyneTook forever to put together! Geesh
Awful assembly!!!!KieraThe set up process is awful and ikea refers task rabit that charges $250 for a set up. I regret this purchase and wish i went elsewhere for a bunk bed. The whole set up process is frustrating and the booklet has no words only photos. Avoid this product
Good bed, painful assemblyIzarraPerfect for young ones, or (in our case) an impending onslaught of foreign exchange students, but everything you've heard is true: this bed was haaaard to put together, y'all, and I've build my share of IKEA beds. It took me and my husband about 2 hours from beginning to end, with lots of false start and missed steps.
Pro tip: extend the mesh part all the way out and orient it the way you want it to go before you thread the metal beams through. There are two different types of fasteners, so you'll for sure need a drill unless you want to spend all day hunched over in your guest room. Oh, and bring a mallet for the slats; you'll have to bang them into place manually. Truly torture to the very end.
So, all told: 5/5 stars for the bed itself, 1/5 stars for the process of putting the dang thing together.
Perfect LysetteThis bunk bed is perfect for my 5 and 2 year old. Setup was pretty easy.. took my bf about 2 hours to complete it but we took a few breaks and sometimes had the poles facing the wrong way. Other than that it wasn’t too bad and it was super affordable ! The rails aren’t very long on the top. The twin mattress almost levels out with the rails so if your kid moves a lot it could possibly be a danger issue
Great JessicaBed very comfortable, sturdy, and safe
Worth The MoneyShonteThis bed definitely is worth the money. It’s sturdy an last a very long time. This is my second time purchasing this bed because of how cost efficient, sturdy, an the longevity it has. Highly recommended purchase.

Story
A bed for new perspectives
Life is pretty good here at the top of the bed. Teasing younger siblings can be kept at a distance, and when mum or dad says good night, the height is just perfect for a hug. Both bunk beds and loft beds are good choices when you want to create more space in a smaller area. With TUFFING, we also managed to make more bed from less material.
We made TUFFING bunk bed and loft bed of stable steel and mesh fabric, and somewhat lower than other bunk beds. It means less use of material and that each bed weighs less to transport.
Kids don't think about safety so we do.
A vital place for kids to rest and recharge.
Throughout the design process we took part in research results from Dr Barbie Clarke, a child psychologist with many years of experience in research about children and their development. She explains the role of the bed: When we do global research the children we interview will often say that their bed is the favorite part of their home." It is something they can call their own; ‘This is mine, my space’. Even if they are sharing a lot of other things, the bed is often a private area that helps them work out who they are, rest and recharge."
Material
What is steel?
Steel has unique characteristics when it is stretched and shaped since it remains strong. It provides strength to everything from skyscrapers and cars to bed frames and outdoor furniture. The steel industry is moving in the direction of more energy-efficient production and stronger steel qualities. It doesn’t lose any of its properties when recycled and today steel is one of the most recycled materials in the world.
Lowest price
Don’t let the price fool you
TUFFING bunk bed has passed the same strict safety tests as all our other bunk beds. We just used other materials, made it lower and replaced the guard rail with the ladder. All to make it exactly as safe to sleep in – just a little cheaper.
