Everyone knows that kids bunk beds are terrific space savers, since stacking one bed over the other frees us all the space that the second bed would have occupied in the room.
If the space you are dealing with is exceptionally small, you may want to consider the Twin Bed over Futon option.
Did you even know that this was an option for kids beds? It works out great in a situation where a couch would be more desirable during the day than a bed.
This is absolutely ideal for a dorm room and these beds for kids are becoming more and more popular.
When the kids are hanging out in their rooms during the day, it's great to have a couch available.
One this you should consider when purchasing the futon type bunk bed is the weight of the mattress.
Let's face it.
Those all cotton mattresses are very HEAVY! That's why we recommend purchasing a mattress that is a combination of cotton and polyester.
This is a much lighter mattress, allowing for an easier transition from bed to couch and back to bed.
Don't worry that you won't have any additional storage if you choose the futon bunk.
These, too, can accommodate nice storage drawers or even a trundle bed underneath.
This choice for kids bunk beds brings not only function to the room, but a classy style as well.
Another nice thing about the futon option is that there are so many great futon covers available these days that will help brighten up an otherwise ho-hum space.
