Having raised 4 kids, we've had single twins and loft beds when the kids were smaller, each was lucky enough to have their own room. And as they each got older, most got full/queen. I grew up with 2 twins in my own bedroom (my own room) and then slept on the top bunk in my college dorm. Even at 18/19 and very limber, it became a nuisance to climb up and down...the fun of it wore off. It was also new to me then to feel the bed moving when my roomie below moved in her bunk!

Each one looks solid! But I prefer the first one because of beautiful pillows and quality mattress. Also I would like to share with you guys with my current bed. Several month ago I bought a white silk bed from my favorite brand of bedding for my bedroom. Soothing and luxurious, silk bedding provides a breathable and indulgent nights sleep. Its light, soft feel comforts the skin, while its natural properties wick away excess moisture from the body, helping to prevent hot flushes throughout the night.

Yes! Although, I grew up with dogs and typically had one of them sleep on the bed with me as a kid, so it felt like common knowledge as an adult. That said, I can definitely see why someone might not want that— my pup is a 60lb chow mix and she has no qualms about taking up as much room as she can on the bed lol. My partner doesn’t mind either, but If she did, I wouldn’t have an issue making the dog stay off the bed. I feel that it’s also important to note that I bathe/brush my dog regularly to keep shedding down as much as possible. For a dog, she’s very clean/not smelly, and since I don’t have a yard, I can pretty much be certain that she hasn’t stepped in anything suspect while taking her out. Plus, free foot warmer! One funny note is that when either my partner or I get up in the morning for work, she’ll (without fail) get up from the end of the bed and make her way to where I/her once were. Head on the pillow and everything. There’s definitely been an occasion or two in which I rolled over and expected my partner there, and got a furry surprise.

I love and will always have a canopy bed in my Master. I only have 8' ceilings and my bed posts are only 6" from the ceiling. The bed dominates the room and I love that. To me, the bedroom is all about the bed and sleeping! I'm getting a platform bed for the spare room.
