WHEN TO USE A LOFT BED
The small footprint of a loft bed is a valuable space saver for a small room. A single child can have a space for sleep, storage and work area all in the footprint of a twin or full bed. This allows room for other furniture and just open floor space.
It is best to wait until your child has grown up enough. Government safety guidelines recommends at least 6 years of age (I believe that is a little young), nearly half of the accidents involving bunk beds involves children under 6 years of age.
If two children need to share a room, the use of two loft beds, if the floor space of the room allows, is another way to go. This gives each child there own space for storage, work space, and there own bed, without the bickering over who gets the to bunk.
Like a bunk bed, there is also matching bedroom furniture and accessories that go with the style of the loft bed. You can put together a themed bedroom very easily.
