Bunk beds are significant space savers for sleeping areas, which is why they’re so commonly used in high-volume settings like dorms and camps.
However, investing in bunk beds that aren’t long-lasting or designed for heavy use could leave you replacing them every few years, often to the tune of thousands of dollars. Therefore, though there are many details that you’ll have to consider when running your facility, one of the most important is your bunk bed supplier.
Your wholesale metal bunk beds shouldn’t come from just anywhere. At ESS Universal, we prioritize durable construction, safety, and utility with all of our products and can guarantee many years of use for each of our beds, including our:

Where Are Heavy Duty Bunk Beds Used?
Some of the most common settings where heavy-duty metal bunk beds are used include the following:
- Dorms
- Shelters
- Hostels
- Camps
- Employee housing
- Ministries & Church Groups
- Migrant Workers/H2A
- …and more!
All of these settings have two major things in common: They each provide sleeping arrangements consistently throughout the year, and they each see a high guest turnover rate.
Some of these settings will see higher turnover than others (i.e., hostels vs. dorms), but all of them can significantly benefit from the use of commercial-grade bunk beds that are built to last.
What to Look for in a Wholesale Bunk Bed Supplier
You want to provide safe and comfortable sleeping accommodations for your guests, and you also want to avoid having to repair or replace damaged bunk beds on a regular basis. Therefore, choosing the right wholesaler for your metal bunk beds is crucial.
Here are a few important attributes to look for in your potential bunk bed supplier’s products:
Strong and Sturdy Frames and Joints
Reliable construction comes down to the frames and joints of your bed. They need to be able to hold strong through many years of consistent strain. At ESS Universal, we’re confident in the durability of our bunk beds, thanks in large part to their seam-welded joints and tubular metal frames. Both of these aspects protect against bed bugs and other pests in addition to having damage-resistant constructions.
Durable Guardrails
One of the most important safety features of bunk beds is the guardrail. But that’s also one of the quickest parts to degrade over time, especially on cheaply made bunk beds. Our heavy-duty metal bunk beds feature guardrails that are made with the same commercial-grade steel as the rest of the frame. They extend from head to foot on each bed, guaranteeing safety for sleepers and standing up to many years of heavy use.
Full-Length Ladders
One common mistake that bunk bed suppliers make is attaching the ladder to the bed itself as opposed to letting it rest on the floor. As a result, the weight of climbers is not evenly distributed between the floor and the bed’s joints, leading to the risk of damage or harm. Our bunk beds come with full-length ladders to prevent this issue.
Squeak-Resistant Platforms
The last thing you want in a shared sleeping arrangement is a squeaky bunk bed, which is why our platforms are made with heavy mesh rather than springs. That goes a long way to eliminate squeakiness on its own, but we go further to prevent unwanted sounds by ensuring that the headboard and footboard are firmly connected to the bed’s platform.
