Direct answers
What bunk bed is best for hostels and backpacker housing?
Twin-over-twin steel bunks rated 200 kg per berth (SGS tested) are the default for hostels and backpacker housing; loft beds free floor space where rooms are small. All ship KD flat-pack.
How many bunk beds fit a standard room?
At about 1.6 m2 per twin bunk with aisles, a 20 m2 room typically holds 8-10 twin bunks (16-20 berths). Request a room layout before sign-off.
Do the beds meet the safety standard?
Yes. Frames are built to EN 747-1:2024 and EN 1725, CE marked, ISO 9001 certified, SGS load-tested to 200 kg per berth (SGS tested).
How do they ship to site?
KD flat-pack; a 40ft high-cube holds roughly 55-70 bunk-bed cartons (model dependent). See our container loading calculator page.
