Rooms To Go Kids Bunk Beds
When we decided it was time to let the boys have separate bedrooms, we thought it best to try to accommodate their tastes as much as possible, so we asked them what they wanted in their rooms. James, aged 4, wanted a colourful room with an adventurous theme, while Alex, 8, said he just wanted somewhere to escape from his brother and play his video games in peace and quiet! But one thing they did both agree on what look the rooms to go kids bunk beds. Plastic toddler beds are also very popular nowadays.
My husband and I were not convinced about the wisdom of rooms to go kids bunk beds ourselves. For one thing, James is only 4 which everyone says is too young to sleep in an upper bunk, and which I knew he would want to do. To avoid starting a domestic version of World War III, we decided to go online and show the kids what other options were available and would suit their rooms. I think that was a good move as the kids had no idea about the variety of children’s beds available.
We came across a site offering a good variety of beds. All I wanted the boys to do was choose their frames as I planned to buy decent quality mattresses separately. You should never buy cheap mattresses for children because a good night’s sleep is crucial to them. Anyway, the site was really well illustrated and the boys were instantly intrigued and quickly listing their likes and dislikes.
The cabin beds appealed to my older son, and to me. He liked them because they were higher than normal and had a small ladder to reach the bunk while underneath were desks, shelves cupboards etc. In fact the storage space was huge and that’s what impressed me. I wasn’t sure how useful the little desk would be as Alex does like to spread out, but he said it would be fine for his laptop and for doing homework.
We showed James the captain’s beds, which liked the sound of, but not the look. That was a pity because they stored a second, comfortable bed underneath which could be pulled out for an extra guest bed when needed, but this did not appeal to James. He clicked on the themed beds and was greatly taken by the brightly coloured beds with frames shaped like racing cars.
We did have a look at the bunk beds and I was surprised by the range of styles, colours and materials. They all had safety rails on the upper bunk, but, with a good, deep mattress, I was still not convinced that the rails were high enough for my liking. It was easy to see the appeal for kids though, as several of them were themed and turned the lower bunks into private dens or secret hideaways. Great for capturing kids’ imaginations and banishing bedtime blues. Even more worrying than the bunk beds for me, were the loft beds, which were like bunk beds but with only the top bunk. Underneath you could have seating or study areas, wardrobes or dressing tables. I know I would have loved one as a child, but as a parent, my priorities are different.
Our boys chose cabin beds for themselves, but they were completely different. Alex’s bed was called a sleep station – very businesslike with its pull out study desk. All that storage would help him to keep his room so much tidier, which was a great plus point in my books. Rooms to go kids bunk beds would not be that easy. James’ cabin bed was a themed affair with lots of play space as well as storage for his toys. We had a great day’s shopping at Clever Clicker, without a single quarrel. I was impressed with the website, very well laid out and easy to use and with lots of illustrations to help the kids decide. And the icing on the cake was that it offered free delivery.
