If your small child is ready for something bigger than a toddler bed, but has a very small room, there is a small double bed that is just the right size to fit in their room. Small double beds often come with added storage that fits under the bed. This is a great place to put extra shoes, out of season clothes put away for storage, or anything else that needs to be hidden away. There are some headboards that are book shelves and fit perfectly at the head of the bed.
If there is more than one child in a small room then a great option for bedding would a set of double bunk beds. Bunk beds are twin beds that are easily stacked on top of one another and very useful when two children have to share a very small room together. Keep in mind that there will inevitably be an argument about who gets to sleep on the top bunk.
When a bedroom is a little larger it is a good idea to buy a full size double bed. There are a lot of people who believe that the size of a bed should be based on the number of people that will be sleeping in it. This isn’t necessarily the case. The use of double beds is a great way for a single person to be able to stretch out, relax and get a good nights sleep so they are well rested for the next day. The double bed size sheets, comforters and other types of double bedding aren’t as expensive as the bedding for a queen size or king size bed.
There are queen size beds with frames that can be adjusted down to a double bed frame. In this case the queen size mattress could or would be replaced with a double size mattress and box spring. Double bed frames can also be an option, especially if the room is small and a queen or king size bed frame would be way to big for the room. The double bed frames come in many styles but the most common is a steel frame that can be attached to a head board and foot board based on personal preferences.
For those who live in a one bedroom apartment but has family and friends who visit from out of town and need a place to sleep while visiting then the double sofa bed is your bed. It doubles as a couch for sitting and entertaining by day and by removing the couch cushions, and pulling out the frame and mattress, it is a guest bed by night.
