    My daughter is wanting a special set of bunkbeds.  She wants a standard Queen bed on the bottom and a  special "long" twin bed on the top.  (the long twin would be the same as a queen in length)  Does anyone publish or have     plans for such a bed?

    I can't help you with the plans but I will suggest a couple things.
    #1 It's not a good idea to put your email address or any other personal information such as your member # on post that can be viewed by the public.
    #2 I'd recommend you click the alert icon in the upper right of your post and ask an admin to remove the information.
    #3 We answer questions asked her on the forum where they were asked, not by email. That way other members can benefit from the replies as well.
    #4 I see you first made this post in "Make Test Posts Here" and someone had it moved. I'd recommend you please read the information at two links below, so you can aquaint yourself with how the forums operate.

    My daughter has a bunk bed with that sort of design.  It is smaller  --  double on the bottom, single on top, but the same idea.  I was quite impressed with how well it was built.  (It is commercially built, of course.)  I will post a picture from the web site below.

    The picture is not quite the same as the one my grandkids sleep in.  They have one with a set of stairs that is available in the stores but not on the web site.  Strange.  I can get my daughter to take a photo.  If you want we can measure and draw up some of the details, but you would have to adapt them to the larger dimensions of your bed.

    EDIT  --  Sorry, the link didn't come out 'clickable' but you can copy and paste.
    I should add that the 'stairs' (it has been a while since I've seen it so that might not be the correct word) do add to the overall length but can be arranged in a variety of ways.  I think they add a lot to the usefulness of the bed.

    Well, my daughter was kind enough to take a couple of photos of the steps for their bunk bed which are not shown on the web site.  There are several ways it can be oriented to either end or one side of the bed, depending on what fits your space best.  It also provides some very convenient storage.  Because of the way they have it trapped against the wall, they don't have it fastened to the beds.  I believe, but can't be sure, that there is also a more tradtional bunk bed ladder at the other end.  Here are her photos:

    That's an outstanding bunkbed ladder, Bompa. Good idea.
    The greatest reward for doing is the opportunity to do more.
