Sleeping / Bed arrangement

[SorryExcuseMeThankYou]

To install a standard bunk bed in a small room. Myself and partner can't seem to agree.

He wants a fancier bunk bed, with shelves, measuring 197cm L x 137cm W

I think a smaller, standard and detachable bunk to give them a bit more room - 196cm L x 102cm W

Room size is 2.90m x 2.44m

If it makes any difference, we're considering a move in 3 years to hopefully a bigger property.

Hopefully that's clear, happy to answer questions. Thanks

YABU = Go for fancier bunk
YANBU = Go for standard bunk

Where is door and window and how are you positioning the bed? I don't think it will make that much difference but feel like it depends on room layout and what else needs to fit in

I personally would go for the one with shelves if you want them to feel their bed is their bed. If you want a first come first serve basis with the beds then beds with no room for personal/individual items

Attached is the layout. Double doors are built in wardrobe, storage beside it and other door is the exit.

There's a small radiator under the window as well, for the room.

The longer side of the beds 197cm will be against the wall (with no window) and the W (137 or 100) will be against the window.

Not changed my mind on my original text, but how tall are the ones who will be sleeping on these?

Could you go for a bunk bed set that is 5’10” in length? They range from 2’6 wide to 3’6 wude

How long is that wall without a window on? Because the floor plan suggests the dimensions measure to the door - and that will make quite a difference!

Thanks @Fridgemanageress. They're 4 and 7 year old.

Do these sized bunks have shelves And are they single mattress size? I've just done a quick search and can't seem to find these sizes with shelves.

Do you mind sharing a link please?

I appreciate the response.

You're right @DandelionClockSeeds

The wall without window is actually 210 and the other one to wardrobe is 244.

You can probably tell I'm new to all these 😔

Just to add another layer (if it makes any difference) - it'll likely be for 3 to 4 months each year I.e. summer period when there'll be another family in the extra room. When that person's gone they can split up if they wish to.

Hope that helps abit. I looked on Amazon briefly and just clicked on the smallest sizes. An array of “shorties” came up.

Ok, so id get the tape measure out, measure the 137 width of the bigger beds, put a line of boxes / toys etc at that point, and then try and open the wardrobes. I think it will be tight.

The mattresses will be shorter than single bed size.

I’d go for the narrower option as more floor space gives you a bit more flexibility.

We did this for a few years when kids were roughly 3&5 and it was just their sleeping space plus a bit of clothes storage.

The bigger bedroom was their playroom with a sofa bed for when we had guests. It worked really well.

I would get offset bunks where they are at right angles to each other.
