But when you think about it, a cabin bed is not your ordinary piece of furniture and picking just the right shade of colour is not the most important aspect of it. What you are looking for in a cabin bed is:

• storage space
• design

And both of those attributes are clearly visible from any solid image. This means you don’t really have to see cabin beds in person in order to decide whether they are suitable for your child. For your kids, the choice between Sponge Bob or Spiderman is far more important than the choice between two shades of brown. This is why you can always consider buying cabin beds online where you can take advantage of generally lower prices compared to those that the traditional furniture stores have to offer. That’s right, you will find lower prices in internet stores, but on the other hand you must be careful about the delivery costs. Make sure you check them before ordering. Many online stores also offer free delivery on more expensive items such as cabin beds, so this way you actually save some extra cash because you don’t have to drive to a store at all.

You should also consider buying a mattress at the same time as you buy the cabin bed and in the same shop. This way you will probably also get a nice discount and the mattress will surely fit the bed frame. I definitely recommend you to buy the memory foam mattress. You can’t go wrong with those.

But the look is not all you have to pay attention to, when you  go to by a bed for a boy.

Keep in mind that boy are boys and as such, they are more athletic. You can be sure that the cabin bed you buy will sooner or later turn into a trampoline and with a bit of bad luck, your son will invite some friend over to enjoy this trampoline. This is why you should make sure to get a solid, rough and sturdy cabin bed frame just to make sure it doesn’t break and some of the children get injured.

I am by no means saying that I encourage such behaviour, but there is a strong possibility it will come to it so it is better to be safe than sorry.

But still, the looks are just as important, so surprise your son with a superhero cabin bed. Spiderman is quite popular these days so you cannot go wrong with that.

Cabin beds are designed for children, there is no question about that, I am yet to see a cabin bed meant for adult to sleep in (a business niche perhaps? ). But there are differences between cabin beds for girls and cabin beds for boys but also between those that are built for very small children and those for older ones.

Cabin beds for small children are mostly dedicated to the safety of your child. The space below the bed is generally equipped with many drawers so you can have your baby’s clothes very close when you need them. The decoration does not play the most important part at this stage, the cabin bed for a baby must be practical more than anything else.

As your children grow, there is less need for the extra storage space. They get less dirty, so you need less clothes, you do not need diapers any more so that extra space below the bed can be used for more playful purposes. We have already discussed many different motifs that are popular for girls cabin beds and those that are most common with boys cabin beds so I will not go over that again.

Considering the similarity between both products, I am certain that those looking for bunk beds for kids will also find our tips and suggestions useful.

My name is Matthew and I’m from Bristol, England. I’m 10 years old and have just recently gotten my very first pirate children cabin bed. It was a birthday gift from my parents and it was perfect. Is’ shaped like a pirate ship and has windows painted on the side drawers. It even has a large parrot attached to the leg-side part of the frame. Sometimes I like to take the drawers out so I have space underneath the bed so I can pretend to be a real pirate.
