Cabin Beds or Loft Beds

Cabin bed is an expression used mainly in the United Kingdom, while a loft bed is the same thing, but this particular expression is used in the USA. Both mean the same thing - a sort of a bunk bed that has a storage space built in instead of the bottom bunk. It's fun and it's useful. Other expressions include midsleeper and highsleeper beds, in some parts of the world they are also called captain's beds.

They are great space savers and a lot of fun for kids, because they usually come shaped as fun objects such as castles, tents and similar. The best beds available!

Cabin Beds are a Great Space Saver

Cabin bed wit a pull out deskLike I already said in the intro, cabin beds, or cabin loft beds are great space savers. Kids' rooms are always crowded with their toys, laundry and their clothes, so there is very little space for them to play, or read and study when they get bigger. Cabin beds can easily solve this, especially if the room is already a bit smaller. Namely, it uses the same amount of floor space, but because the bunk is high up, the space beneath it can and should be used the way you want.

You can install drawers and cupboards underneath. These drawers can be used to put away toys or clothes. You will be surprised what kind of amount of children's clothes can be stashed in the cabin bed. I only had to keep one extra closet in the room, because we bought one of the bigger cabin bed.

You can add a pull-out desk. The desk is usually tucked in so it does not take any space, but when your kid has a wish to draw, write, or read, you just pull it out and let him or he do that on the desk. The child will also learn the discipline of working behind a desk, instead of using the bed and the floor for those activities.

G.I. Joe Loft Bed With Tent and Slide Review

This is an amazing twin size G.I. Joe cabin bed with both a slide and a tent. It also comes complete with a side ladder so the climbing is really easy. Very well built and made to last for years. This bed is the perfect creative addition to any children's bedroom. Unfortunately no mattress is included, so this is something you should take care of yourself.
