Not OP. This looks nice for an older kid but no way for a 9 year old and 5 year old. OP would be annoyed having to move mattresses every day. |
| Maybe go Japanese, and use nice roll out/folding mats that your kids put away during the day. Search for the term "shikibuton". |
There's no need to move mattresses, the idea stated was TWO of these beds with a small bedside table in between. (you can opt out of trundle) |
This was my thought. A trundle bed and you put a fitted sheet and flat sheet on on each mattress, then push the beds together. The main bed can have a comforter on it for warmth. keep an extra blanket or comforter in the closet and when you pull the trundle out, grab the comforter and toss it on the bed. Ready to go. As they age, the kids can be taught to pull out the trundle and get the comforter for the trundle bed. |

I'd consider a murphy bed (From Murphybed.com) for at least one of the kids' beds. We have one in our guest/office and it is awesome. The nice ones are not inexpensive, but then you'd be able to fold up the bed in the morning and give them some space to play in the room too. Get the extended depth so you can keep all the pillows/sheets on and still close it.
We like our kids' twin beds with drawers and a trundle underneath (from Ikea). But it is a pain to change the sheets--they're kind of a bunk bed level of difficulty, as they're up higher than a normal bed. If you go this route, pay attention to the height of the bed. |
