On many occasions, you will realise that you need extra beds in the house. A family reunion is one of these occasions. So, keep those alternative beds ready and they might turn out be extremely helpful.

Something new to the mundane sleeping arrangement

What if you want to sleep in a different room, in a different bed? If, for example, you partner is sick, you will want to minimise the chances of getting infected, too. So, moving to a guest bedroom can offer a reasonable solution to the problem.

Yes, they can create space. There are some brilliant ideas on building alternative beds. For instance, have you ever heard of a sofa-bed? The unit transforms from a compact sofa into a spacious alternative bed. Superb, isn’t’ it?

Nowadays, so many online retailers offer alternative beds, that it is almost confusing to choose one model out of the lot. They all seem really useful and you’ll feel like purchasing all of them! But organising space in the house can be a little tricky. So, we have some creative solutions for you:

Cardboard Bed

It is one of the most unusual beds ever. It is built of cheap materials and with a little effort, you can create an excellent DIY bed. All you need is sturdy storage boxes and a mattress. Line up these boxes and cover the construction with a mattress. You can also tape them so that the boxes stick together. This is a really cheap solution and although it is not the most durable or permanent option, it can serve its purpose for a while.

Metal sheet and single ply beds

Even though those are the cheapest beds on the market, they still serve their purpose well. Ply beds seldom stay functional for a long time, but with a comfortable mattress, they are good to sleep on. Mostly, they have metal frames and single ply base. Still, they can support loads and will not blow your budget.

People have come up with different ideas on alternative beds. There are loft beds that come with a study table beneath. The solution is simply excellent for space-crunched rooms. The list goes on, and the truly important factor to bear in mind while looking for alternative beds is your home decor theme.
