Why Choose Bunk Beds?
by: Don VanPelt
Any parent faced with the question can give a million reasons, but others might not quite see the clear picture when asked – why bunk beds? What’s so special about these stackable cowboy cots? Thankfully, bunk beds have come out of the bunkhouse and into the home, much to the benefit of parents everywhere.
Others, like college students, have even gotten the message and taken advantage of these flexible furniture workhorses.
Bunks provide the answer to so many problems of families with youngsters that they deserve attention apart from other types of sleep options. What do you do when you didn’t buy a home with an extra bedroom for that new baby? What do you do when you find out your child has adopted a best friend who seems to spend every Friday night at your house? What if you find your child’s floor space growing too small as he grows older? Consider bunk beds.
With so many variations, there is a bunk style to fit whatever problem you might have. The most obvious kind of bunk is the stackable twin bed that we all recognize. These bunks can let two siblings share a bedroom and still have plenty of space to claim as their own. If you have teens whose bedroom space can’t get larger as they do, consider a loft bunk. This type of bunk gets them plenty of space to sleep and makes a cool sitting area underneath as a place to just hang out - or space for a study desk, if need be! There are even bunk bed styles that combine the two types, to maximize the use of one room for two or even more people, for sleeping, clothing storage and studying.
Now, don’t be discouraged at the thought of filling your room with some sort of plain wooden or metal frame beds that looks like it came right out of the ranch bunkhouse. Today’s bunk beds are stylish pieces of furniture, in a wide variety of colors and themes, so you can enjoy all they add to the room. Bunk beds need not be only functional, they can be beautiful as well.
In the case of bunk beds, let form follow function. Do you need more floor space for one person? More kid sleeping space in the same size room? More storage space without building a closet? A guest room without putting guests on the floor? There are many ways to see the options when it comes to these beds, so you can see all types of bunks online or in stores, before you choose the one that solves your space/storage/sleeping problems.

Look! It’s a Sofa! It’s a Bed! No, It’s a Futon Bunk Bed!
by: Don VanPelt
Multi-task. I'll bet you heard that term at least once on the news last week, and once at your child’s school conference the week before. Everyone seems to be thinking of new ways to do more than one thing at a time.
What if your furniture could do that, too? Well, there is such a piece of furniture, and it can be found many places – if you know where to look. It’s a futon bunk bed, and it can be a very versatile addition to your household. It’s been around long enough that you’d have to dig to find the first ones, but it’s not outdated like that avocado green dishwasher in your mother’s kitchen.
Most of us have a child’s room (or know a child who has one) that is a total multi-purpose space: a closet, a workbench, a guest room, a game room. A futon bunk bed is the perfect addition to that all-purpose room.
It can function as a sofa to pile on and watch a movie or play video games, a place (besides that unused exercise bike) to pile clothes when they don’t always make it to the closet. It can actually be a comfortable bed, too! Because they are meant to be changeable, they are not usually very heavy, and can be moved easily, which means they take up less space and are more mobile than the average bunk beds or pullout sofa.
A futon bunk bed can turn a spare basement room into a guest bedroom you need, and it can be a lifesaver for a college student who can’t afford both a sofa AND a bed, because of money or space. They are as versatile for the budget as they are as furniture, for you can spend a little or a lot.
Some people enjoy the chameleon aspects of the futon and think about the ways a futon can easily be changed to make for maximum number of uses. A sturdy wood frame and a woven cotton cover makes a great cabin sofabed under a treehouse bunk. A glossy black frame with a white linen cover cand be the centerpiece of an Asian-style college dorm room. Spring for a new cover and some throw pillows, and you’ve redecorated without hiring full-time professional! Inch for inch, the futon bunk bed is the most versatile bed you can own.
