Where can I find low bunk beds...?

Can anyone help? I have seen (in the Netherlands..) 'cot bunk beds' where the high bed is only at about 1 - 1.4 meters (at no more than chest height, in any case), making it much easier to lift babies/toddlers out of the higher bed. Both beds (lower and higher) were protected by high cot sides, but I can add those myself if needed. Desperate though to find this low version bunk bed - does anyone know where you can get them..?

Many thanks!!!

I'm not sure if this is what you wanted but Flexa beds can be arranged in different combinations and heights. If you look here and scroll down, the picture at bottom left shows a staggered bunk arrangement which would only be 1.20 high. ds now has his bed at mid height, and has slept in it at this height since he was almost 4, prior to this on lower setting. However I'm still wary of dd (2)climbing on it as side rails are not very high.

Did you see the TRIPLE bunk? Total height 220cm!

They'd need crash helmets to sit up. Still, if space is tight...

Thanks LIZS, it comes very close to what I am looking for, but as space is really tight, I need something smaller... (We will move before we'll need the triple bed, I hope..!)
For those interested, here is the link of what I mean (apologies, site is in Dutch, but there is a picture). Any sightings of something like this at all..?

Again, many thanks!

What we did was shove a single mattress, on boards on the floor, underneath a cot (raised to medium height). That was enough length on the mattress (not shoved underneath the cot, I mean) for a 3-6yo child, and the cot was big enough up until 2-3yo. Whole set up needed hardly more space than a single bed. Would that work, Julen?

Great idea, zebra..! Never thought of that.. Not sure how feasible it is with a 2 year old on the mattress, but I might give it a go!

Thanks!
