How old are the cousins Hally? You could move CP's bunk beds in there while they visit

[Halex]

They are in their 60's, i thought about that, but i dont think they woukd like the bunk beds

[maddy]

Hally, have you thought about a pullout sofa couch instead?
It won't take up as much room as beds, and you can still utilise the room for something else, other than a spare bedroom.

Maddy, DH suggested that.

I dont thnk we need another room.

We have 4 bedrooms, one is a study, cp has his own large area plus his room. Kitchen living dining & home theatre room. Whar would we need another room for

But your right, less space would be taken up.

I just want to make the right decision.

What would we need another room for

your kitchen appliances

We have a queen bed for when my dad stays with us from Geelong once or twice a year. I now wish we went the pull out sofa way so we could use the room more when he's not here. It would have allowed it to be a play room/ toy room/ chill out area especially for the kiddies.

Thanks kt2.

Maddy, your encouraging me to fill up yet another space.

Seriously thinking about the sofa bed now

Our main visitors are kids, cps friends or foster kids.

Hally yes 60 is probably a bit old to be climbing into a bunk bed 

Pull out bed is good or a queen size normal bed. Just be careful with the pull out beds as a lot of them are small and do not fit two people in comfortably.

Do they mind sleeping together Hally?

[Halex]

They visted us in our old house & they shared a queen bed then.

Hally before children came along we had a double bed set up in a spare room. Very annoying as it needed to look good all the time and rest of room couldn't be used. It hardly was slept in.  I always complained to DH that we should have bought a sofa bed, but now am thinking one of those good brand bed in a bag blow up queen beds would be better. The ones that are high off the floor. Pump em up and deflate and store later. Hope that helps

We upgraded our bed & use our   QB a couple of times a year for guests. I wish it was a double as our guests don't stay too long & the QB takes up too much space in that room fir when guests are and are not visiting. Ultimately I'd get a queen sofa bed.

Best thing to buy is 2 king singles that can be used separately or pushed together for a king. You then have a bed that will adapt to everyone's needs. Make sure you let bed salesperson know that this is the purpose so you don't get beds that will have a ridge in the middle.
