    Our son has a Cresta bed, which is excellent, but not cheap...

    There are multiple ways you can configure them, and we have the high sleeper with a desk and futon underneath, and a matching wardrobe and bookcase.

    This is nearly the set-up we have:

    Thanks for all the replies :)
    I was looking at maybe a bigger bed as dd just moves around so much but then wondered if it may be better if she was contained a little more and didn't move so much!
    Although she has sleepovers fairly regulaly they do tend to drag the mattresses into the lounge and all crash there rather than in her bedroom so I may not worry about that and just use airbeds I use for camping for that (at mums at the mo with all the other camping gear because I haven't used them recently)
    I think dd is set on a triple bunk but i'm not sure whether it would take up too much room, decisions decisions!
    Hopefully I can persuade her to have a mid sleeper as that seems the best option at the mo :)
    :hello: Hiya, I'm single mom, avid moneysaver and freecycler, sometimes :huh: but definatly :D

    We have a day bed from Ikea that is a 2'6 that pulls out to make a double with 2 x 2'6 mattresses. It has 3 drawers underneath for all (well a fair few!) of my 3yr olds toys and so makes good use of the space :)

    Just another to add to the list! Sorry!

    My daughter has a day bed from argos with two mattresses on, if she has a sleepover she has one mattress on the floor, she likes being high up!
