Every child needs a bed to sleep in.  Parents usually choose toddler or twin sized beds for their children when they graduate from their crib. Unlike toddler beds which kids quickly grow out of, twin beds for kids are the ideal size because they do not take up too much space in a bedroom but they have room for the child to grow. One good option for kids is the daybed.  Daybeds use regular twin sized mattresses but instead of having just a headboard and footboard, they have two sides and a back. This configuration provides flexibility that standard twin beds do not have. Because it has a back, a daybed makes a good place to sit in the daytime. It is like having a couch in the bedroom.

Trundle beds are a type of bed that are designed to slide out from beneath a larger bed, usually of conventional size with the trundle bed being slightly smaller. Another way of putting it is that a trundle bed is a bed within a bed. Trundle beds get their name from the casters or “trundles” that are used to move them back and forth. Historically, trundles were created to allow servants to sleep within close proximity of their employers in case their services were needed during the night. The modern trundle bed mattress has caught on, but as a space saver in homes where space is at a premium. The trundle bed is one of the best options where there is barely enough room for one bed, let alone two.

Before we discuss why you should, or shouldn’t, buy a divan bed, it’s probably a good idea to establish exactly what it is. While there are some sources claiming that they are futons or daybeds, this is not the case. It is actually a different spin on the traditional bed. Rather than a typical box spring, the base of the bed houses a storage compartment. With that in mind, there is one obvious perk to buying this type of bed: the extra storage space. If you are short on drawers, the extra two in the base are extraordinarily helpful. A common problem in smaller homes is the issue of storage for bedding. Extra pillows, sheets, blankets, and comforters can take up quite a bit of space. The bedding for a single king size bed is practically enough to overrun an entire closet if not properly folded. Even if it is, [...] Read more »
