When choosing beds (or bunk beds) for a dormitory, there are many factors to consider, with construction type, durability, and comfort being just a few of the most important details. Efficient use of space can be a big part of the choice as well, as many dorms are designed to house as many as four people in a single room.
What is it about commercial dorm furniture that makes it different from other types of furniture? In this guide to dorm furniture, you can take a closer look at the essentials.
Key Features of Commercial Dorm Furniture
In order to understand the unique needs of dormitory furniture, consider how dorm rooms are typically used. The average dorm room will house hundreds of people over the lifespan of its furniture. As such, the beds and storage used there needs to be extremely durable, comfortable, and safe for people of all body sizes.
Dorm rooms also need to use their space efficiently, as the students using them will need to store a wide variety of items there. Dorm beds that are able to accommodate storage around, under, or within them will be the most efficient for the needs of students.
For this purpose and others, bunk beds are usually the best choice for dorm rooms. These are exactly what ESS Universal specializes in.

Highly Durable
What is it that makes our bunk beds durable enough to withstand many years of heavy use? Our heavy-duty bed frames are made of welded steel and are specially designed to meet the entrapment hazard standards of both the U.K. and the U.S.
The mesh bottoms of our beds are made with metal instead of springs, so you won’t have to worry about squeaky beds bothering students and their roommates. Whether you go with single beds, single over single bunks, or detachable single over single bunks, your beds will be made of durable materials and won’t break down anytime soon.
Plenty of Options for Storage
Storage is a necessary feature for dorm beds, especially in rooms where multiple people will be living and sharing space. This is why ESS Universal designed our Under Bed Storage Lockers to conveniently fit underneath our beds.
Two storage lockers can fit side by side under the Dallas Single Over Single Bunk, offering much-needed storage for bulky items. We also provide hanging wireframe baskets that can be attached to bunk beds. These are best for storing small items that need to be used regularly, like books, toiletries, and electronics.
Bed Bug Resistant
In places like dorms, where hundreds of students are living in the same building, bed bugs are a constant threat. All it takes is one student to accidentally bring in a pest for the entire building to be at risk.
Luckily, ESS Universal bunk beds are carefully manufactured to be resistant to bed bugs, with firmly sealed frame joints and bed bug resistant & waterproof mattresses. Even if a bed bug infestation does come to your dorm, your ESS Universal beds will be better equipped to handle the risk without causing serious problems.
