One of New Mexico’s largest homeless shelters, the Gateway West Shelter in Albuquerque, recently completed major renovations to improve comfort, safety, and durability for its residents. A key part of this transformation included installing ESS Universal: Heavy Duty Bunk Beds and Mattresses designed specifically for high-use environments like shelters, camps, and dormitories.
Durable Beds Built for Shelters
Gateway West added our Dallas Single Beds and Missouri Bunk Beds, providing strong, reliable sleeping arrangements that can withstand daily use. These heavy-duty steel bunks are engineered for maximum durability, safety, and stability—making them ideal for shelters that house hundreds of guests each night.
Clean, Safe, and Bed Bug Resistant
To further support the shelter’s commitment to cleanliness and guest safety, Gateway West upgraded to ESS Universal’s waterproof, bed bug resistant mattresses. These mattresses are easy to sanitize, resist moisture, and eliminate hiding places for pests, ensuring a healthier sleeping environment for residents.
Community Effort in Action
The renovation was a true community effort, with volunteers coming together to assemble the new bunk beds and mattresses. The shelter now features an improved, more organized sleeping space.

By choosing ESS Universal heavy duty bunk beds, Gateway West has invested in furniture that will stand the test of time while providing dignity and comfort to Albuquerque’s homeless community. We’re proud to support shelters across the U.S. with commercial-grade bunk beds and mattresses designed for strength, safety, and long-term value.
