Bunk Bed Ideas

Do you remember just how much fun bunk beds were when you were a child? It was always a race to see who could call the top bunk bed first. And if you were lucky enough to snare the top bunk, you would race up the bunk bed's ladder and sit, lie or even bounce around on that top bunk. In fact, if you slept in a bunk bed, it was probably the only time as a child you actually looked forward to going to bed. And once you did go to bed, you actually never went to sleep. That's because you would spend the majority of the night talking with your friend, sibling - or whoever just happened to occupy the bottom bunk - or vice versa!

Bunk beds are one of the great pleasures of childhood. And for parents, wood or metal bunk beds are a great way to conserve space in a small area, while at the same time giving children something that's completely fun and unique to them. Conversely, bunk beds are also a great way to teach sharing, as you could rotate taking turns sleeping in the top and bottom bunk. If you close your eyes and think about the bunk bed that you had as a child, you will be amazed to discover just how fun, funky and stylish bunk beds have become today. Today's modern bunk beds combine fashion with function!

There are bunk beds which actually combine two different sizes, such as having a twin bunk bed sit atop a full bunk bed. There are also bunk beds which come in a wide array of wood finishes, colors and materials, such as metal or iron. Today's bunk beds are better than ever in terms of design quality and manufacturing. However, what they share with their traditional counterparts of the past is the sheer joy and fun that comes with sleeping in a bunk bed - especially if you had a good friend come over for a sleepover.

There's something about bunk beds which can't be replicated by anything else. If you were fortunate enough to sleep in a bunk bed during your childhood, then you know what I'm talking about. And, if you did have a bunk bed as a youth, chances are, you are more than likely to provide your children with a bunk bed for themselves if at all possible. There's something simply magical and ultra-fun about bunk beds that nothing else can match.

And it doesn't matter if you're an adult, child or somewhere in between - anyone can enjoy the fun and comfort of bunk beds regardless of your age. The next time you're shopping at a furniture store for beds, take a peek at the bunk bed section and see if you can resist climbing up, hopping on and remembering all the good times and all the fun times that you had as a child when you slept in your very own bunk bed.
