Bunk Bed with Futon: The Ultimate Space Saver
If you have at least two children and your house is not huge enough for each of them to have their own rooms, a bunk bed with futon is the best option you have. They are cheap products and you can easily use them for a lot of time without worrying about a thing. You can find a lot of types of bunk beds online, and you can surely order one that comes in boxes. It will be a nice one day project to install the bunk bed with futon, and if your children are a bit older (which they should be, if you are thinking about using this type of bed) you can question them to help you.
In this type of buy the price will probably be the first thing you have to worry about. I have been looking for this type of product, and I can tell you that the investment is not that large. For around 300 dollars you can get a pretty nice looking bunk bed with a very comfortable futon that you can retract and use as a two person bed, if needed. The installation is pretty simple, if it comes in boxes, and you should have it done within a couple of hours or less, using the very handy instructions.
So, we talked about the price, now we should talk about the age you should consider your child can sleeping on top without falling in the middle of the night and hurting him or herself. The thought is that a lot of people tend to buy this type of bed earlier than they should because of the lack of space, but it is a very huge mistake. Your child should be at least 7 before he or she can sleep on the top bed safely without any problems or risks. On the other hand, you can always buy a bunk bed with futon that comes with a partial rail on the top so that you can be sure your child is safe, even if he or she is not yet ancient enough to sleep on a normal bunk bed.
In the end, I can say that this is a pretty excellent way to save a lot of space, and it is also pretty cheap, if you consider that for the money you pay you are getting two beds and a very comfortable futon.
