Small Bedroom Designs

Futon bunk beds provide the solution to that age old question: how can I maximize space in my small bedroom? They provide the best of both worlds: a seating area and and extra bed. If your bedroom is too small to accommodate both a sofa and a bed, or you want to try a spin on the typical bunk bed model, then a futon bunk bed might be a good choice for your.

Frame Types

Futon frames and bed frames are available in both wood and metal, and the same is true for futon bunk beds. Metal frames are typically more budget-friendly than wood frames. However, wood frames offer a warmth and visual appeal that cannot be matched by metal frames. If you are a trying to create a modern look in your bedroom, though, a metal frame might blend better with this aesthetic. Metal frames can be purchased with special powder-coated finishes in a variety of colors, depending on manufacturers. Wood futon bunk beds generally look more rustic, although they may feature a variety of wood species or grain types. If you can’t decide between a wood or metal frame, it is possible to purchase a model that combines both materials for a unique look.

Sizes

Most bunk beds with a futon bottom offer a twin sized bunk bet up top, and the futon itself folds out into either a twin or queen sized bed. Some models combine a short futon with a desk area beneath. If you require a larger sleeping space, then you should consider a twin over full bunk bed unit.

Futon Bunk Beds for Kids

If you have young kids who share a room, then bunk futon beds provide versatility within the space. They help to conserve floor area that can be used for playtime during the day. At night, one child can sleep above, and the other can sleep on the futon portion after it has been folded open. These units are also great for teenagers rooms who want space to entertain their friends, but otherwise do not have the space in their bedrooms to fit a sofa. Finally, these combination units are an ideal choice for a guest room that also doubles as an office or den.

You don’t have to worry about facing the conundrum of deciding between a couch or a bed within a space. A futon bunk bed offers you the best of both worlds .
