Why our sleep experts loved it

Providing a restful, comforting sleeping space for children is a top priority for every parent. Not only does it promote good health, but it also sets the foundation for a positive attitude towards bedtime. Choosing the right bed can make all the difference. Enter the Northwood Kids Wooden Bunk Bed - designed specifically for children and with their needs in mind. Made from solid pine wood and with a stylish, classic white finish, this bunk bed offers a practical sleep solution that stands the test of time. It boasts a sturdy framework, ample sleep space and the flexibility to split into two single beds. Coupled with thoughtful features such as the upright ladder and a durable wooden slat base, the Northwood Bunk bed ensures both durability and functionality without compromise.

How we Tested

Our assessment of the Northwood Kids Wooden Bunk Bed was based on several factors, including design, functionality, ease of construction, and users' satisfaction. Moreover, we paid attention to its compatibility with a standard UK single mattress for the ease that this brings, as well as the reliable one-year guarantee that accompanies this product, offering peace of mind to parents. The solid pine wood construction was of primary interest, promising longevity and sturdiness that is of crucial importance in a child’s bed. To gather reliable information on user satisfaction, we also explored genuine customer reviews to understand the experience of users, especially given the long delivery time and the somewhat cheap looking white finish that initially raised some concerns.

Design and Features

The Northwood Kids Wooden Bunk Bed is designed with kids’ comfort and safety in mind. It's carefully put together with solid pine wood and painted in a classic white finish to suit any room aesthetic. The bed can be set up as bunk beds or split into two single beds when preferred, providing versatile sleep options as kids grow. Features such as the upright ladder, which can be mounted securely to either end of the bed, ensure ease of access whilst prioritising safety. Designed for children aged six and above, the bed has been fully safety tested for peace of mind.

Construction

The Northwood Kids Wooden Bunk Bed boasts a solid pine wood construction that promises a blend of sturdiness and aesthetics. The bed includes a strong, durable wooden solid slat base designed to maximize mattress life and ensure a good night's sleep for children. Despite some concerns regarding the white finish looking a little cheap in-store, the quality of construction does not disappoint. The sturdy structure and resilient material ensure the bunk bed can endure regular use and stay in excellent condition over the years.

Suitability

When considering the suitability of the Northwood Kids Wooden Bunk Bed, it's important to note its recommended use for children aged six and above. The design, functionality, and aesthetics all cater to the needs of growing children, offering a comfortable and secure sleeping environment that can adapt as they grow. The bed's versatile feature of separating into two single beds proves highly beneficial as children grow older, providing them with individual sleeping spaces if required. The bunk bed also features a maximum mattress depth of 15cm for the top bunk to ensure children's safety.

What Customers Thought

On the whole, customer feedback for the Northwood Kids Wooden Bunk Bed has been overwhelmingly positive. Many customers appreciate the sturdy structure and adaptability of this bunk bed, with several praising the ability to split it into two single beds as their children grow. The additional shelving proves a big hit among children, providing them with space to store their precious toys and books within easy reach. The bed also received praise for being easy to assemble, with customer reviews highlighting the clear and comprehensive instructions provided. Some customers raised concerns about the white finish

Let's start with the sales experience. Sales person in store said Erin Bunk bed with drawer will be delivered and assembled on the day you choose. So purchased it online but received email saying it WILL NOT be assembled due to COVID policy. I needed the bunk bed as the youngest one outgrew her toddler bed so proceeded........ Assembly experience. -The Erin bunk bed is delivered into 6 packages, the parts are not labelled which took time to work out how to assemble it. -Some parts are very heavy, need at least 2 people to lift up the stairs and assemble. -There are quality control issues as some of the screw holes are not aligned, wasted time drilling new holes. -The drawer is not worth getting, the build quality is poor and again quality control issues. -However 8 hours+ of assembling the bunk bed, it is rock solid and the kids like the design. Erin bunk bed is solid and well designed however I wouldn't recommend it if Dreams doesn't assemble it. Also the drawer is not good value.

Great sturdy bunk. Due to covid i almost didnt get the assembly service which was provided with this bed free of charge. I opted not to have my bed delivered unless they were ready to assemble it and it worked in my favour so happy days. I will say the colour of the wood effect panels on the drawer and shelves is completely different in real life. In reality it is a grey wash and not the brown seen on the images. But that being said the colour isnt unpleasant. I will also like to mention that the bottom bunk lacks a headboard which can be problematic for some. I found it made it difficult to contain my daughters pillow in the bed when she would be sleeping. Another issue i have found is the drawer is difficult to pull out on carpeted flooring and can be a bit of a struggle. All in all i am pleased with the bunk. It is sturdy and strong and fit for purpose. Would recommend.

Great bunk beds, both my sons love it, ideal storage shelfs & lovely colour, very neutral. Couldnt believe it was delivered & assembled within an hour, great service. My partner was so pleased that he didnt need to assembly it. Came within the expected timeframe so my boys were so excited. Only issue was the drawer which we paid extra for was smaller than expected for the price & there is no handles on top of the ladder

Excellent bed, very sturdy and the delivery guys were great. So glad we paid extra to have the bed built! Only comment would be the top of the steps is a straight edge rather than curved - one of the corners was a bit sharp so we had to sand down. The images on your website need to be updated to reflect this. Otherwise, delighted with this bed!

I bought this bed after looking all over for a few months. The reviews were good which helped me make up my mind. When it came there was a small crack in the draw which I was a bit disappointed about. However, after a few phone calls and emails they have agreed to fix the part of the draw. Overall though I am happy with the service from dreams.

I bought this bed for my daughters bedroom (9&6 year old... Asking for problems) but they have a new bed, new storage for their own bits and pieces. Plenty of space for themselves. Bed was easy to assemble with my wife and I, took a couple of hours but delighted with the results!

Can Erin bunk beds be delivered in more than one huge package? Customer services say' Yes', Sales say 'No'. Measurements on website mean these bunk beds could not be delivered to any house with standard doorways.

Answer: To update the answer on this one, the Erin is delivered in 5 packages with the following dimensions.Package 1: Weight:31 kgs | Measures:212 x 35 x 10cmPackage 2: Weight:26 kgs | Measures:174 x 40 x 9cmPackage 3: Weight:31 kgs | Measures:212 x 35 x 10cmPackage 4: Weight:25 kgs | Measures:173 x 34 x 10cmPackage 5: Weight:36 kgs | Measures:207 x 90 x 4cmThanks, Dreams.

josi
will a normal mattress fit this?

Answer: This bunk bed requires 2 EU single mattresses which differ slightly in size from a normal UK single. An EU single mattress measures 90cm wide and 200cm long. Whereas a standard UK single measures 90cm wide and 190cm long. Please also note that the top bunk mattress should be 15cm deep or less.

Do standard single mattresses fit this please, 3ft ?

Answer: The ideal mattress to be used with this bunk is a Euro Single mattress, which measures 90cm (W) x 200cm (L). Standard Single mattresses measure 90cm (W) x 190cm (L) - as a result, a standard single mattress can be used with this frame, however there will be a 10cm gap on the sleeping area.

Hi, Does mattress come with this bed

Answer: This bed does not come with a mattress and therefore the price displayed online indicates the price of the bed frame only. We have a range of mattresses available to purchase online or in store that would be suitable to use with this bed frame.

Hi. Once assembled how easy is it to disassemble and transport?

Answer: This is assembled by the external delivery company and is therefore difficult for us to know exactly how easy it would be to disassemble. It should be the same level of difficulty of any flat packed furniture.Thank you for your question.
