Take The Lower Bunk, It’s a 4ft Bed

Newer bunk beds are often two bed of different sizes. The top bunk is a standard single bed and the lower bunk is a full size, a 4ft bed. There are some advantages to this style of bunk bed, especially in kid’s rooms. The clearest advantage is that the lower bunk doesn’t fell claustrophobic. With two single beds stacked one over the other, the lower bunk can sometimes feel a bit small.

A lower bunk that is a 4ft bed takes up less space than two twin beds, but allow extra sleeping room when friends stay over. If your kids aren’t ready to sleep alone yet, they can sleep together until they decide they are ready for their own bed. The full size bottom bunk doesn’t have the closed in feeling that sometimes occurs with bunk beds.

If the bed is up against a wall on one side, a full size 4ft bed for the lower bunk, will help prevent injury if a sleeping child rolls off the top bunk. Instead of falling onto the floor, the child has a shorter drop onto a softer surface. They just fall into the lower bunk. This is another great reason for considering this staggered style bunk bed.

This is the best thing to happen to bunk beds in years. They are safer and more comfortable than regular twin bunk beds and they even have extra sleeping room. A 4ft lower bunk can even serve as a guest bed if you don’t have a separate guest room. You don’t need a convertible sofa or Murphy bed if you have a lower bunk that’s a full size bed. If your son or daughter doesn’t share a room, they’ll love being able to choose which bed to sleep in.

The only disadvantage to this type of bunk bed is that the beds can’t usually be separated to create two beds. One reason is that most bunk beds in this style have angled metal frames. The single size bunk beds are often made with wood frames that can be separated to form two beds. The truth is, though, that most people with bunk beds never separate them anyway.

If you think this type of bunk bed would work for you, check with local furniture sellers or online to see bunk beds with 4ft beds for lower bunks.
