poachedegg Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Not looking for ones where the beds are smaller (though that wouldn't matter), but where they aren't as tall - do such things exist? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Couldn't you chop the legs off a bit? My brother had a raised bed, a few feet up with sliding cupboards under it for storage which came from ikea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poachedegg Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 Suppose I could cut the legs off! It was bunk beds (ie 2) that I was interested in rather than just one that is higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Oh ok. Maybe cut a bit off the legs under the bottom bed so theres still enough head room? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Welly Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I assume they are a standard size because of headroom for the person on the bottom, so i think you'll struggle without a bit of DIY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quinlan Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Not sure I understand the question... but we were looking for bunk beds that weren't too high as I was worried about my older boy falling out (he was only just 4 when we got them) but we found some made by Thuka that came with an extra rail on the top (and a rail on the bottom for my younger boy who was only 2) Not sure if thats any help?

Basically I wondered whether there were some that weren't as high - most I have seen recommend the top for at least 6+, so I was looking for lower ones that may be safer for 4 or 5 yr olds. I will go and google Thuka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 You could take off some of the leg from the lower bed, so the lower bed is nearer to the ground as well. My oldest son has a high sleeper as he needed the space underneath so he could fit his drumkit in his room. But it left him with no headroom - our ceilings are quite low. So we took a few inches off the bottom of the legs. Worked very well Or get a mid height cabin bed, and a low bed base to go underneath, like those futon style ones.
