When buying kids beds, first of all, think of safety and comfort. Your kid is going to spend a lot of time in that bed and most of it will not be for sleeping. Kids use their beds for various purposes such as to play house, as a tent, for pillow fights to jump up and down or just to lie and read. Therefore kids beds should be always strong and durable and preferably with lots of space for your kids to stretch out and be comfortable.
The bed frame should be able to withstand rough handling and metal frames are considered to be much better than beds with wooden frames.

Sturdy Metal Frame |
Since all children love to jump on their beds and use it as a trampoline it's always safer and worth it in the long run to have an underside with springs that can withstand all that activity.

Beds with built-in drawers |
Kids do tend to collect a lot of stuff which they store in their room. Space wise, however, their bedrooms are smaller than adult bedrooms and therefore furniture should be bought keeping this in mind. Some good ideas for kids beds are bunk beds which are not only fun when friends spend the night, but also save space if two kids are sharing the room. Other space-saving beds are those with built-in drawers and shelves and cubby holes in the bed head to keep their favorite books and other memorabilia that kids normally love to collect.

Proper railing for child's safety |
Kids' beds that have underside shelves or drawers are great for storing things that are not used on a day to day basis. This also helps to keep the room tidy by getting rid of the clutter that gives the room an untidy look. If you plan to buy bunk beds for your kids always check on the safety aspects to make sure your child will not fall out of bed in the middle of the night. The rail round the perimeter of the bed should be high enough to keep your kid safe and the ladder must have something to hold on to while climbing up or down.

Trundle beds with extra sleeping space |
Another exciting option in kids beds is trundle beds that contain extra sleeping space under the bed which can be pulled out to be used as an extra bed. Kids find this type of sleeping arrangement great fun when they have friends for sleepovers and also make it more convenient for parents when making sleeping arrangements for them.

Add colors to your kids' room |
Kids' beds should also have colorful bedding to compliment the color scheme of the room or to match a particular theme. With so many colorful children's bedding available in stores and online you and your kid will have fun selecting the type of bedding he would prefer to have.
As you can see, there are so many options of kids' beds to choose from and it's up to the parents to decide which is the most suitable according to the requirements of the child, room space and affordability. While buying a strong and durable bed is worth it in the long run, your child also should have a say when selecting his bed. What you can do is meet him halfway and give in to his wishes as far as colors and designs are concerned, but be firm and practical when it's a question of safety and durability.
