Bunk Beds are two beds on top of each other. They can be either stacked or found in an L shaped bunk bed. Bunk Beds can be bought as 2 single beds or 1 double & 1 single bed, this is referred as a triple bunk bed. Most bunk beds can be converted into 2 single beds when the bunk option is no longer required. We have a large variety such as bunk beds with storage or bunk beds with a desk.
See our guide to buying bunk beds for kids at the bottom of this page.
Mid Sleeper Beds are raised beds which have an average height of 120cm and have space underneath to fit a roll out desk, storage cubes or chest of drawers. With Jellybean, you can choose from a midsleeper bed with storage, a desk, or even a mid sleeper bed with slide.
High Sleeper Beds are single beds which have an average height of 185cm. A high sleeper bed is similar to a bunk bed but does not have the bottom bunk. High Sleeper Beds have plenty of space underneath to fit a desk, futon or small wardrobe depending on your requirements.
A midsleeper bed with standard ladder or ladder and slide is a great way to transition a younger child from a toddler bed to a big bed. Mid sleepers are suitable for children aged 4 and over – offering all the fun and flexibility of a higher than normal bed, whilst still providing a safe place to sleep for younger ones. The open space underneath a Mid Sleeper provides plenty of options, plus loads of practicality!
Cabin Beds are very similar to Mid Sleeper Beds but tend to have built in storage underneath.
Toddler/Junior Beds are firstly cot beds which can be ordered in a fun themes such as a fire truck bed or a princess bed but are only a cot bed size which is 140cm x 70cm.

Is your requirement to put two children into the one room? or are you looking for an extra bed to accommodate sleepovers? Children close in age love the idea of sharing a bedroom with their sibling, although the fight for the top bunk can add other complications if they are very close in age. A simple idea of accessorizing the bunk beds is a clever way of getting around who sleeps on the top bunk. Fun accessories such as “bunk bed curtains”, “bunk bed caves” can now be purchased in different themes to individualise the bunk beds. Bunk Beds are not only ideal for the practicalities of where your children will sleep but are also a great investment for a growing family. A number of bunk bed manufactures are producing modular systems which allow you to adapt the beds as required and spilt the bunk beds into two single beds or alternatively convert them into High Sleepers or Mid Sleepers Beds.
It is recommended that a child can use the top bunk bed from around 6 years of age, however younger children can use bunk beds but this is very much dependent on their height and how confident they are using the ladder on the bunk beds.
There are a number of bunk bed options open to you however the standard bunk bed will be 2 full sized adult single beds, we have both European Sizes (210cm x 100cm) & UK/Irish Sizes (200cm x 100cm). We recommend that you measure your space carefully both the width and height of the area to ensure that you do not have any restrictions such as radiator covers, skirting board or other built in furniture which would prohibit the bunk beds from fitting in.

It is important to spend time on buying the right mattress for your child. Here in JellyBean we appreciate the importance of a child's mattress, and that is why we have gone specifically to our factories with certain specifications, resulting in the Classic and the Sleepy Headz mattresses. Most modern mattresses are made using various layers of foam material. These two mattresses are made from high quality materials, manufactured in Eastern Europe to FR Standards. The most important factor when choosing a children bed mattress is comfort so ensuring that the correct children's mattress is purchased is a priority! See our two mattress options, the Classic and the Sleepy Headz, explained below. Please note we do not currently stock Trundle Bed mattresses.
The Classic mattress is a bonnell sprung with fibre. It is available in 190cm length for UK standard beds, and 200cm length for EU standard beds. It is suitable for single beds and also as a top bunk mattress.
The Sleepy Headz is part of the reflex foam mattress family, which have an added foam core. Reflex foam is high density so when you lie on it, and put pressure on it, after you get back up it will regain shape. It is a great option if you're not sure about memory foam. It has a foam density measurement of 28. Medium to higher density foams generally conform closer than low density foam, and thus offer better pressure relief by molding closer to the sleepers body. This leads to less pressure build up for the back and shoulders. It is available in 190cm in length for UK standard beds, or 200cm in length for EU standard beds.
Both the Classic and the Sleepy Headz are quilted top mattresses. A quilted top mattress has an outer fabric attached to the surface fillings, giving a smoother and flatter surface. Thus giving a softer/plusher feel to the child’s mattress.
