Futon Bunk Beds – 8 Beautiful & Practical Bunk Beds with a Futon
Every kid is sure to enjoy having a bunk bed with a futon on bottom in their bedroom. This is a great space saving bed, which features a twin bed on top and a sofa or couch on bottom, which can be expanded into a full size bed. The couch can be used for relaxing, watching TV, reading a book, or just hanging out with friends. Once you extend it, it will convert into a full size bed, perfect for sleepovers!
A Futon Bunk Bed is a very smart and functional bed, because you have both a bed and a sofa in one room, without taking up much space. An alternative to having a futon bunk bed, is getting a Loft Bed and placing a chair bed or a small futon or couch on bottom. However, you’ll need to carefully measure all items and make sure they are compatible and will fit well with each other.
How To Choose a Futon Bunk Bed?
- First you should measure how big is the room you plan to put the bed in. Also, don’t forget to measure the height of the ceiling, since the person who will be sleeping on the top bunk needs to have enough room to sleep and move there comfortably. Once you know how much space you have available, then make sure the futon bunk bed you want to buy will fit properly.
- When shopping for a futon bunk bed, keep in mind that you’ll have to purchase the mattress for the top bunk and the futon mattress separately. A full size futon mattress costs around $120 – $350. When making your choice, you’ll need to consider how thick it should be: 4 or 6 inches should be sufficient. You should also check what materials it’s made of: memory foam, innerspring/coil, latex, or cotton. And another fun and important factor to consider what color should the cover be!
Here are 8 of the best beautiful futon bunk beds you can find online, no matter what your budget, style or color preference is!
