How Can I Afford a Bunk Bed Without Taking Out a Loan?

Two children and one small bedroom is a familiar British problem, and a bunk bed is often the only practical answer. Finding the money at short notice is the harder part, so this guide sets out how families cover the full cost without borrowing.
