When we decided to re-arrange and redecorate the children’s bedrooms, we considered them to be old enough to be consulted on their tastes. The youngest, James, wanted a themed room with mediaeval castles and such, whilst Alex, the elder cared only about his precious computer. However one thing they were both adamant about was they needed bunk beds – so their friends could stay over! I’ve always been rather sceptical of bunk beds myself. When I see them in friends’ houses I always think they look a bit of a mess. Apart from that, James is too young to sleep in an upper bunk, which I knew he would be forever trying to do. What none of us knew really was what other options were available, so we decided to go online and take a look. Fortunately most kids’ beds come without mattresses which you buy separately. That’s a good thing as the right mattress is so important to give children a sound night’s sleep. I intended to buy good quality mattresses for both of them, so I really only needed their input on the choice of frames. I was surprised at how quickly they discovered their likes and dislikes. The cabin beds appealed to my older son, and to me. He liked them because they were higher than normal and had a small ladder to reach the bunk while underneath were desks, shelves cupboards etc. In fact the storage space was huge and that’s what impressed me. I wasn’t sure how useful the little desk would be as Alex does like to spread out, but he said it would be fine for his laptop and for doing homework. We also looked at a captain’s bed, which was a mid height sleep that neatly concealed another pull out bed underneath which would serve the same purpose as bunk beds when the friends stayed over. I thought that might appeal to James but he stopped thinking about his friends when he saw the single themed beds. These were quite a novelty idea as the frames were designed to look like fairy castles, racing cars, fire engines etc - just the sort of thing to appeal to a four year old. We did have a look at the bunk beds and I was surprised by the range of styles, colours and materials. They all had safety rails on the upper bunk, but, with a good, deep mattress, I was still not convinced that the rails were high enough for my liking. It was easy to see the appeal for kids though, as several of them were themed and turned the lower bunks into private dens or secret hideaways. Great for capturing kids’ imaginations and banishing bedtime blues. Even more worrying than the bunk beds for me, were the loft beds, which were like bunk beds but with only the top bunk. Underneath you could have seating or study areas, wardrobes or dressing tables. I know I would have loved one as a child, but as a parent, my priorities are different. Our boys chose cabin beds for themselves, but they were completely different. Alex’s bed was called a sleep station - very businesslike with its pull out study desk. All that storage would help him to keep his room so much tidier, which was a great plus point in my books. James’ cabin bed was a themed affair with lots of play space as well as storage for his toys. We had a great day’s shopping at Clever Clicker, without a single quarrel. I was impressed with the website, very well laid out and easy to use and with lots of illustrations to help the kids decide. And the icing on the cake was that it offered free delivery.
