Furnishing a kid's room is not an easy task. Choosing between the different types of kids' beds might be hard, but not if you have a better idea of their main benefits and drawbacks.
The standard single or twin bed is a great choice, if you are on a budget and looking for something simple. You can readily opt for a wood or metal model of any style. The main advantage of these models is that they are quite narrow and can fit excellently into any bedroom, irrespective of the space available. In addition, given the relatively low price, you can easily replace the furniture item once your kid grows bigger.
Childrens Storage Beds
The captain beds are ideal for teens as well as for younger kids going to school. They offer additional storage space in the form of drawers underneath the platform supporting the mattress. This makes them ideal for crowded rooms with lots of toys, books and smaller pieces of furniture. Still, given their specific structure, these models take up more space and might not fit well into smaller kids' rooms.
The trundle beds are similar to their captain counterparts, but they have an additional bed underneath the main one instead of drawers. These models are functional, especially if you child has friends sleeping over often. They are costlier than their counterparts, given that they come with an additional mattress. Still, they are a fine choice for families who welcome guests frequently.
The bunk beds are the top choice of many parents and not without reason. They are excellent space savers and can accommodate comfortably two children at the same time. In addition, some more sophisticated models have the lower bed turning into a couch which is another great functional feature. If you opt for such a model, you have to make sure the safety of your child or children is guaranteed.
