Bunk beds are a wonderful space saving solution

By Todd Martin

Bunk Beds are a superb space saving solution; they are also popular among the kids. In fact they are so popular that they will use all the negotiating skills to decide who gets to sleep below. These bunk beds cost a lot however, if youre looking to try and save money on a bunk bed you should familiarize yourself with the pitfalls of buying cheap first - just like any other product on the market, you may have to compromise with quality and safety of the product.

The safety aspects of a bunk bed are paramount and so when looking for a cheap bunk bed remember that theres no such thing as a free lunch " if it really is dirt cheap then you may be risking your childs health " remember that one of the fun aspects of a bunk bed is its elevation, which is also a risk and a sturdy ladder and a safety rail are both of utmost importance. Bearing that in mind, bunk beds are a great option for kids beds, in so many different situations. They offer options that regular beds don't, both for saving space and for making good use of space. Kids love them and they look good. And they're functional.

Before buying a bunk bed like twin over twin bunk beds, check its sturdiness by placing your hand on the top bed and shaking the whole piece to check if there is any movement. Make sure you get child friendly bunks. Make sure the top bunk has good railings to prevent falls; don't buy bunks with no railings on the top. And make sure they have good solid stairs. And don't get bunks with corner posts that stick up above the railing, kids can catch things on them and fall, or hang off them, which isn't great. Always make sure the lighter child sleeps on the top bed.

The best bunk bed to consider would be a full bed on the bottom and a twin bed on top. The wider bed below would create a better balance. Consider buying bunk beds that can be separated, because as the children grow older, the beds will be still useful. They can be used as separate beds. In fact, instead of thinking cheap bunk bed, perhaps youre better thing bargain bunk bed " what I mean is, instead of searching for potentially unsafe bunk you are doing you and your kid a favor if you find a high quality bunk at a discount.

If you are looking at buying one at a real bargain price, then you have two options. The first is to find an online bargain because online retailers often offer quality beds at reduced prices due to their low overhead costs, since they do not have to spend on warehousing and other utilities. Low overheads mean that sellers can sell cheaply online, and still make a profit. Also because they sell more, they can buy cheap from the manufacturer benefits of which are passed on to the customer. The second options is to look at the used bunk bed market " if you make a full inspection to make sure the bed is from a reputable manufacturer and is in good condition then your saving can be huge
