Children's beds have never been so exciting. With more space saving and design ideas now available than ever before, you have plenty of options for choosing a child's bed that is both practical and fun. Children and bunk beds Bunk beds, which of course originated on ships, are a great way of getting an extra child into a room that might not offer the floor space for twin beds. And even in a larger room, bunks free up floor space by making the most of otherwise wasted vertical space. The classic configuration is two beds placed one on top of the other and held apart by support posts; however you can also buy a double bed below a single bed, or an L-shaped bunk that creates extra storage space below the top bunk. Bunk beds are great fun for kids sharing a room. They can help a younger child feel safe at night knowing they are close to an older sibling, yet still have their own private space. Bunk beds also offer an excellent focus of children's games - with a little imagination the bunk bed can be transformed into a fort, a pirate ship or a castle. And even if your child has his or her own room, bunk beds can still provide a very useful extra guest bed. There are some safety issues to bear in mind when choosing bunk beds, as children using the top bunk can injure themselves. Bunk beds usually come with a minimum age guide for the top bunk, which is sometimes four, but more usually six, but you should always satisfy yourself that your child is safe and secure on the bunk whether playing or sleeping. You should also take care that the mattress you choose for the top bunk is not too high, as this will reduce the effectiveness of the safety rail.
