Kids Futon Bunk Beds

A word about futon bunk beds for kids. A futon mattress, as you know has a particular hard feel to it. There are arguments that say a more solid, hard mattress is better for you back and posture and I would say that if I had to choose between a good futon mattress and a lousy cheap ordinary mattress I would go for the former. However once your body gets a feel for one type over another you may find it uncomfortable to swap. What's my point? Well before you put your child in a futon bed take a moment to realise that you will be training their bodies to get comfortable with that kind of sleeping experience for the rest of their lives. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, it's just something to keep in mind.

On the plus side, futon bunk beds often have an adjustable lower bunk that can be raised up into a sofa or settee. If you only have one child this is a great scenario that allows your kid to have friends over who can sleep on the lower bunk but which can then be converted into a sitting area for your child the rest of the time.
