køyeseng

Køyeseng is the Norwegian word for bunk bed. A bunk bed is a type of bed where one bed frame is stacked on top of another, allowing two or more beds to occupy the same floor space. The beds are typically connected by a ladder or steps for access to the upper bunk.

Køyesenger are commonly used in situations where space is limited, such as dormitories, hostels, military barracks, and children's bedrooms. They are a practical solution for accommodating multiple people in a small area, making them efficient for maximizing sleeping capacity.

The design of a køyeseng usually includes safety rails on the upper bunk to prevent the occupant from falling out during sleep. The construction materials can vary, with wood and metal being the most common. The mattress size for each bunk is typically standard, such as single or twin.

The term "køyeseng" in Norwegian directly translates to "bunk bed," reflecting its functional purpose of stacking beds. These beds have been used for centuries in various forms, evolving from simple stacked platforms to the more sophisticated designs available today. The primary advantage remains space-saving, making them a popular choice for shared living spaces.
