The Pluses of Bunk Beds for Your Kids

First off, kids’ bunks are a boon for the household that’s challenged on floor space. Look cool AND save square footage!

They don’t even have to be the same size beds. Yes, we know, some big and little siblings are really so fond of each other that they love sharing a room.

Why Not to Choose Bunk Beds

Of course, safety is always first. While every kids’ bunk that Jerusalem Furniture sells passes stringent requirement at the factory, pediatricians don’t recommend bunk beds for children under 5. A cool alternative is a trundle bed that rolls under the main bed when not in use.

Remember to always use the right size mattresses for the frames, and to have guardrails on the top bunk.
