Blog

Welcome to the Jess Crate Blog — your resource for insights on durable, American-made beds and bunks, safety-first furniture design, and solutions built for heavy-use environments. Here, we share practical guidance, industry updates, and behind-the-scenes knowledge drawn from decades of experience manufacturing furniture for schools, camps, shelters, military housing, and homes across the country.

Our articles cover topics like bed bug–resistant construction, safety standards for bunk beds, material selection, long-term durability, and what truly separates high-quality furniture from mass-produced alternatives. Whether you’re a facility manager, parent, architect, or organization responsible for outfitting living spaces that demand reliability, our goal is to help you make informed, confident decisions.

Check back often for the latest insights, product updates, and expert perspectives from the team behind Jess Crate — where furniture is built to last, perform, and protect.
