I cannot decide if I should get my kids bunk beds, regular twin beds or loft beds. I have one boy and one girl (they have their own room) so they don't really need bunk beds but a few friends have suggested bunk beds for extra room for sleepovers. I like loft beds b/c my kids rooms are small and they leave extra space underneath for a bookshelf a desk or just for playing. At what age will they outgrow or not want bunk beds or loft beds and prefer a regular grown up bed. If your child has a loft bed-do they like it? any advice or opinions would be greatly appreciated!
As a child, I disliked my bunk beds after about 10 because I thought they were too childish. But both my daughter and my adult sister have loft beds in their places. My sister bought it as a teenager and took it with her - it's great for extra room. My daughter has a small room, so the loft was a necessity. I bought a plain natural wood colored bed, so it won't ever look childish. She loves it, I'm not sure that she'll ever outgrow liking it.
I dont know what loft bed is, but buy the twin bed with another bed that slides underneath. It comes with it. You know ur house, u decide. If you go with bunk, no metal, breaks easy, paralel on top of other so kids cant jump from top bunk down. Flat stairs, not round and smaller mattress on top, or burier so kid cant fall out. Mom just bought set for grandkids. ASHLEY FURNITURE is a must. Good Luck
I wanted a loft/bunk bed, but now I know it's better not to have one. Regular beds are better for lounging. During sleepovers, we all sleep on the floor. I had a loft bed until I got to middle school and wanted a normal one. Also, being high up at night is hard to grow out of. It depends on your kids age.
Twin, bunk or loft beds are all great for a small room. If you don't need the storage space under it you can get a twin bed with a pullout bed underneath. That leaves room for your kids to play and only has to be pulled out for sleepovers. Ask your kids what they would like. Good luck.
I'm 19. I had a day bed when I was young, one with the mattress that pulled out and it was great for friends. Then when we moved I had my brothers old bunk beds from about 6 until my freshman year in HS when it was finally too old. I really liked that too, most of the time I kept the lower bed as a couch with extra pillows and study space, then when friends came over it was slept on. Or i rotated and used my upper bed for storage, stacked stuff up there and took it off when friends came over. In college we have lofted beds with our desks underneath. It's ok if you can have proper lighting under the bed, but if not it sucks. My roomate and I were'nt desk people so we would have preferred to be able to study on our beds rather than the floor. As far as storage with them went, the storage that came on it was restrictive and it was hard for us to fit storage to the space. In college I didn't like having to climb to get to my bed, I just wanted to be able to lay down and sleep or use my bed as a couch and lounge and watch tv. If your kids have lots of friends over, depending on the age, lofted beds suck because you can't use them as seating, or to watch movies from. My vote would be go for a day bed/trudle bed or bunk bed. They're the most versatile.
