Bunk Beds – A Great Option for Urban Families



In the past few years, there have been big discussions on gentrification, urbanization and the fact that more and more families simply do not want to leave the big city (whether it be Toronto, New York City, Chicago, Paris, etc.) for a place in the suburbs that’s large enough to accommodate their growing families. There are many reasons for this: desire for a shorter commute to work, access to more major cultural events and attractions, independent shops, restaurants and diversity among residents. One of the major pitfalls of living in the big city, unless you have a very high income is living in a smaller living space.

Many middle class families cannot afford the sky high costs of housing in the city but refuse to let that be a deterrent to their dream of staying downtown. Instead, many families decided to make the best of their situation by staying put in their 2 bedroom condos and raising their families there. Often, this means that children will have to share a room, making the twin bunk bed the ideal bed for the children’s room. While the twin over twin bunk bed is one option, the twin over full bunk bed is another for children who have a greater age difference. Bunk bed frames can come in wood finishes but for families living in downtown condos with a modern décor, there are also metal finishes available.

Bunk beds come in a variety of styles and finishes, making it the ideal, piece of furniture for families who want to maximize their living space.
