Chelsea Kaplan’s Musings About Life... After Birth

my brother had a trundle bed- it was great for sleepovers because the boys could see each other face to face (although i’m sure that meant they didn’t sleep much either and were very noisy!) and yes, easier to make the bed for certain. also takes up so much less room visually. that’s my vote!

I vote for the trundle as well, they don’t take up nearly as much space and look a lot better. Plus they are safer that bunk beds, I say this from personal experience. I was 6 or so when I was on the lower bunk and the top mattress fell though on top of me, pinning me against the wall, very scary experience.

i’m not a mom, so you can take my opinion w/ a grain of salt, but growing up i had both a bunk bed and a trundle bed (at different times) and i vote for the trundle.

As a former camper having made the bunk bed - and particularly the top bunk, where you risk life and limb trying to tuck in the sheets while lifting your entire body weight with the mattress - I would vote trundle.  I can only imagine the bed-making activities would be infinitely worse at age 30 than age 12.

I have two girls, ages 6 and 4 and we recently made a similar decision.  I love trundles but we actually decided on a bunk bed and are so happy with our decision.  If you get a nice, well made bed, such as the one in your picture, that meets all of the safety standards, then safety isn’t an issue.  And Trundles take up more space, especially when in use.  They are great to “store away” the second bed but if it is used regularly they take up so much more space.  I have my husband make the top bunk, so no problem there!  My vote is for the bunk bed!

My brother had a bunk bed when we were growing up and I still remember how fun it was to sleep there.  I was so jealous!  It made for a great creative play space for us too and you can make way better forts with a bunk bed.  That said, if I were making the choice… I prefer the visual look of the trundle.

I had bunk beds growing up and loved them. We had the sheets that were connected at the foot so it made it very easy to make the bed. Plus if you get the kind that can come apart into two seperate beds, you don’t have to buy another set when they get older like you would with a trundle or a set that was connected. Plus, they are boys, they will love forts and everything. Just don’t forget to factor in a ceiling fan if you have one. Personal experience there with the scar to prove it!

Hmmm… you have to decide what is mot important.  Are you willing to go buy another bed if/when needed or would you like to just get it out of the way and have irritation with the sheets?  <BR><BR>Trundle beds can be very useful as long as you don’t need the storage under the bed.  Just thoughts!  GL

I’ve got baby #2 on the way, too!  I’m facing a similar decision. <BR> <BR>We’ve been leaning toward the bunk bed right now.  I had one when I was small and just loved it.  We were thinking of going with the kind that come apart into two seperate beds.

I say bunk beds also. It seems like it would be every kids dream to have a set. We bought a set for our daughter before child #2 (our son) was planned, simply so that she could have a set of bunk beds of her own. As child #2 grew we split the beds(daughter was tired of the bunk beds by this point) and we had 2 twin beds instead of having to buy another for my son. Now that my son is older, he NOW has the bunk beds and daughter is in her little trendy futon. I never had a trundle bed or have ever bought one so I have no clue about them. The bunk beds worked out to our advantage and the benefits were just unbeatable. To Bunk.

I’ve actually had both beds and I vote for the bunk beds.  My trundle bed’s springs would either get stuck or my fingers would.  With the bunk beds, we could build forts easily with an extra sheet.  My daughters’ use theirs as an animal morphing machine.  Since your son will be using his for occasional sleep-overs, you probably won’t have to make the bed too frequently.  It’ll be a great memory for him.

If the making the bed is an issue.  Think of it this way, any bed is a pain in the wazoo to make.  So my stance is get the fun bunk bed, and only make the bed on the week end.  Life is to short to worry about bed making.

That’s a fantastic plan, but sometimes kids don’t want to share their rooms, what do you think ?

There was, a promotion going on when I bought two bedroom dressers last fall. As the salesman described it to me I could defer payment for six months. Then , after six months all I had to do was make monthly payments.

I have seen the bunk loft beds and the legs that hols the bed looks very thing. I understand that wear and tear happends to any product, but in a bed specailly bunks am expecting 100% safety in regards of the quality and safety.
