Bunkbeds?
Hi all-
We are moving soon. The girls will continue to share a room. The bedrooms in the new house are pretty small so I think some sort of bunk bed, or loft bed would be great as far as saving space.
Does anyone have bunkbeds? Does movement on the top (getting up and down) wake up the sleeper on the bottom?
Any reccomendations?
Thanks mamas.
Boomer is so 2005.
I think safety recommendations are to wait until children are 6 before using bunkbeds.
That is the end of my limited knowledge on bunkbeds 
It sucks to put sheets on bunkbeds. Have you thought about futon mattresses you can roll up and put away for more play space in the morning?
***Or, as Simon would say: "huh-huh-huh. Eh."***
Agreed. They suck. We do have one, or we wouldn't have room for all the boys to sleep, but they realy, really suck. I cannot express to you what a pain in the ass it is to put sheets on the top bunk.

We were just thinking about that with our boys but I KNOW one will push in the trundle part on the other.... they are just that crazy...

Yes, that is what we were thinking about the trundle. Would be nice to just slide the other bed in in the daytime so there is extra room.

but if you have no space then its worth it.
My kids room is so small two beds just wouldn't fit.
My older son loves sleeping up there. Its like his own private loft.
Spacewise its really really worth it. As for the sheets and all I am willing to make the sacrifice; also my top one matresse is foam so like Gigi said, its more bendable.

Thanks for the safety info. The one who will be on the top will be 5 in a few weeks (gasp!!). I think she would be fine in it - shes pretty calm (wouldnt try to jump off) and we would get one with sturdy sides so she couldn't roll off. I would want to get one that wasnt too high, too.
