Futon Bunk Beds – Smart & Beautiful Beds for Your Kid’s Room
Many kids would love to have a bed and a sofa in their bedroom, however there is simply no room fit both items inside. There is a smart and clever solution to this problem, and it’s called “futon bunk bed”. It consists of a bed that’s raised high above the ground and underneath there is a futon. The best part is that the futon can be pulled out to create a double bed – perfect for sleepovers!
Futon Bunk Bed vs. Pull Out Chair Bed
Most futon bunk beds are made of a metal high sleeper with a futon on the bottom. An alternative to having a futon on the bottom, is having a chair that pulls out to become a single size bed. This means that you’ll have an additional sleeping bed for guests and friends. Since the chair takes up half of the space under the loft bed, the other half can be used for a desk for example. See number 4, 5 and 6 on this list for some great alternatives.
Below are some of the best futon bunk beds you can get for your home, no matter your style or budget.
