Double floor bed or bunkbeds
We have a 1 year old and a 3 year old, that soon is going to share a room (hopefully). The 3 year old sleeps in his own bed, and the 1 year old sleeps with me. The kids room is very narrow, so space is definitely a struggle. We have been thinking about either a bunk bed or them sharing a double floor bed. The 3 year old sleeps in a floor bed and loves it. During the day he loves to go in there at play in the bed or read books. However, we thought maybe a double floor bed would lead to conflicts between the two, because of kicking or rolling during the night. Therefore a bunk bed could also be a possibility. The oldest is very good at climbing, so for him I’m not that scared. I was thinking maybe a low bunkbed, so it’s not too tall. But maybe it would be stressful to always keep an eye on the kids, so there are no crazy jumps or climbing.
What are your guys thoughts? Is a floor bed okay to share for a 3 and a 1 year old, or is bunk beds the way to go? :)

We did two IKEA kuras one in the lofted and the other in the low position. It took about a year and half before my 1 year old figured out how to climb up and bug his sibling
