Bunk Bed Recommendations

Hi J.,
I am a mother of two boys 5 year old and 1 1/2 year old. We just recently bought a bunk bed for them to evenutally share. They are not in one room but maybe will be one day. My oldest was begging for this bed, he knows he can only sleep on the bottom bunk until he is 6 , per rules of the bed.
He has not got a full night's sleep in it yet since we bought it a month ago. He has an imagination that is running wild and is afraid that all the bad guys and monsters now have more places to hide since there are drawers under the bed and a place for them to hide on top. It has been a bad move on our part for this bed. We got it at Bob's Discount furniture and the price was right, it added up after the mattresses and all but overall very reasonable. It can separate into two separate twins some day.
Good luck

Dream On Futon in Cambridge stocks really wonderful bunkbeds from a scandinavian maker Flexa, that are completely interchangable. You can split them into two double beds, add legs to make lofts, etc. All solid wood, no off-gassing glues or composites, etc. Pricey, but if you can afford it, would last forever. Try their website: dreamonfuton.com

When our two are ready for bunkbeds, this is the route we're going.:)

We bought bunk beds for our boys last fall at the Bedroom store on Rte. 1 south in Peabody. It is next door to the Cabaret. We looked in all of the traditional furniture stores and they were way too expensive. This store has anything you can think of for bunk beds, and all kinds of price ranges too. The people in this store were very knowledgable and didn't mind my kids trying out all of the beds. My boys love their bunk beds. My youngest has had some accidents on it, nothing serious, he loves to climb onto to top bunk. Even if I take the ladder away, he still finds a way to get up there. Hope this helps. Good luck!

IKEA has a large selection of bunkbeds.

So does Jordans.

I went with IKEA because all of Jordan's bunkbeds (except for on, I think) are NOT made of solid wood.
