Futon Wood Bunk Bed

There are a couple of reasons to consider a futon wood bunk bed. If you're a fan of futon mattresses, because you like the extra support they give you during sleep, then there's no reason why you shouldn't share that sleeping experience with your child and get him or her into some good habits early on. They may well thank you for it in later life. Also as futons tend not to be as thick as a normal mattress you will be certain to keep the mattress at the right height which is an important consideration for the top bunks.

You will want to be sure that your child does not have the possibility of falling out of the top bunk and a thinner mattress will ensure that the top safety bar on the top bunk is much higher than the mattress top thus preventing possible injury. Of course, conversely, make sure the futon isn't so thin that there is any chance of your child slipping out of the space between the top of the mattress and the bottom of the safety bar. Finally make sure you warn your child off jumping around on the futon so as to avoid damage to the slats beneath. Either that or invest in a bunkie board.
