? About big "kid" beds...

What size bed does your child sleep in, once they move out of the crib/toddler bed?

If you don't have a child that age yet, what size bed did you have as a child?

 Just curious. I had a twin bed for most of my childhood, until I was 16, when I got a full size bed. I used that bed until I got married, and it is now in our guest bedroom.

My first instinct is to eventually get K a twin, but it would be nice to have her in a full size for when she is old enough to have friends spend the night.

  • I had 2 twin size beds when I was 5 then got a daybed with trundle around age 13. The daybed is great when trying to utilize the space. I loved my daybed, my mom has it in her guest room now.

  • Were putting Avery in a full size bed. Mainly because we already have the bed and I don't want to buy more furniture. And I thought it would be nice for sleep overs and what have you

  • Yeah Mitchell's converts to a full so he'll be in that crib to college, and beyond if he so chooses, LOL!  I had a twin bed until it just couldn't take it anymore, I think I was around 12-13 (too many jumpin pillow fights).  I got a full size after that and like the others I still have it in a guest room.  It's been everywhere I've lived after college. Thanks mom!

    I doubt we'll ever purchase a twin bed for a child just because of practicality. Kind of makes me sad though.  Those were good times!

  • Aubrey's also converts to a full...I had a day bed with trundle until I went to college and then I had a queen which is currently mine and Wes' bed. 
  • Hannah has a full size with the headboard from her crib :) 
  • I had a twin size until I was 23...crazy I know!

  • She's about to move to her big girl bed which is a full.  It's what we already had (guest bedroom is turning into her room) and we didn't want to spend $$ on something else.

    If we are still in this house when baby #3 comes along, DD#1 and DD#2 will be sharing a room and we'll probably get them twin beds...preferably with a trundle.
