The Bed Bridge is a little nifty tool to have around when one needs to join together two twin beds and convert them to a king-size bed. The bed bridge is made of hypo-allergenic polyurethane foam and can be bought for $14.99.

Futon, originally from Japan, which means a mattress that folds into a chair, has been adopted around the world. The Futon McKinley by Collegiate, offers the same features for your hyperactive teenager. Made of unfinished high strength yellow pine, it’ll be solid enough to hold up when your boy jumps hard on it. The design places positive seat lock, bed lock and two lounge locks to make sure he doesn’t end up the next morning, “eaten” by his futon.
