Size
When shopping for a bunk bed with double beds, size is an important aspect to take into consideration. bunk beds double and single grow quickly and could outgrow a bunk bed before you're ready to make a new purchase. The kind of mattress you select is also a crucial factor when choosing the bunk bed.
The most commonly used bunk bed configuration is twin over twin. These bunk beds are made up of two twin-sized mattresses, stacked on top of each other. They're ideal for siblings sharing a bedroom. Twin over twin bunks can accommodate standard twin mattresses that are 39 inches wide by 75 inches long. If you're seeking a more luxurious option, consider twin XL bunk bed mattresses. They are five inches larger than standard twins and work well for college students, teenagers and even adults.
Full over full bunk beds feature an extra-large mattress on the bottom bunk, which is perfect for adults or children who are taller than the average. The full-size bed measures 54 inches wide and 75 inches in length. Many of these beds are equipped with the trundle, which can be pulled out from underneath the bed to create more sleeping space.
Some bunk bed sets have lofts that are twin-sized and can be split into separate standalone beds. This is an excellent option when you want to ensure the future of the bunk bed by separating the beds into lower and upper or if your children decide to change rooms in the near future.
There are bunk beds that don't require a box spring or foundation as the frame of these bunks elevates the mattress. This is an excellent option for families who are on a budget as it saves money and eliminates the requirement for an additional foundation or box spring.
The frame you select and the mattress will also be influenced by the number of people who will sleep on your bunk beds. Larger rooms can accommodate triple bunk beds or L-shaped beds. Smaller rooms are more suited to twin over full or full over twin arrangement.
Style
A bunk bed with two mattresses can accommodate kids or adults, depending on the arrangement you select. The standard bunk beds are stacked on top of each other with the top bed accessible via a ladder. This arrangement is great for rooms with limited space and helps make the space more functional. Another option is a futon bunk that is designed to look like a standard bunk but with an asymmetrical futon couch which converts into a bed. This bunk bed is great for families with teens and college students. It can sleep four people.
If you're looking to add more storage space for your bunk bed, look for a set that includes drawers for clothing and other items. Some sets come with desks that are built-in and a wooden panel that is placed on the side of the stairs which can be used as a unique spot to hang art or other decor. Bunk beds that have desks are ideal for bedrooms for children but they can be used in guest rooms or as the main bedroom for older kids and teenagers.
The color of your bunk bed may have a significant impact on the overall appearance of your room. A white bunk bed, for instance, can create a feeling of airiness and lightness, while a bed made from dark wood will give off a rustic or traditional feel. If you are planning to put a bunk bed in a bedroom shared by children choose a paint finish that will match your furniture pieces. Bunk beds are an excellent option to add the nautical theme. This bedroom by Kirsten Brockner Interiors includes bedding that is inspired by the sea with accents in blue and red stripes and a staircase that is perfect for a cabin in a captain's.
When decorating a bunk bed with a double bed make sure to keep the style simple and clean so that it can be easily modified as your child gets older and their preferences change. A bunk bed with a twin bed that has a neutral stone finish can easily be modernized by adding a few throw pillows in contrasting colors.
Safety
One of the biggest considerations when buying bunk beds is safety. Bunk beds can be dangerous when they are not constructed correctly or if children do not follow the rules. It is essential to take measurements of the space where you want to put it and compare the dimensions of the frame carefully against the measurements of your mattress. This will ensure that your mattress fits perfectly and there is enough space for your child to get in and out of bed without issues.
A crucial safety feature to look for is guard rails on both the top and bottom bunks. They should be constructed of solid piece of wood that is securely fastened to the frame of the bunk. Additionally any gaps, holes or openings on the frame of a bunk bed need to be small enough to avoid children's legs, head or torsos from getting caught in the gaps. To prevent accidents from tripping it's a good idea to make sure that any ladders or stairs used to climb the frame of the bunk bed are part of the frame or are a part of it.
Another important safety tip is to not let children younger than six to sleep on the top bunk. The majority of the injuries that occur from bunk beds occur to children who are less than six years old, and more than half of these injuries are caused by falls. It's a good idea, also, to establish clear rules for using the bunk bed, and to stress that the top bunk should not be used for jumping or playing.
It is essential to ensure that no clothes, belts, or jump ropes hang from the frame of the bunk bed. They could pose a serious strangulation hazard for children. You can buy clip-on shelves that secure easily to the sides of the bed and provide your child a place to store their night time essentials so they don't need to get out of the bed to search for them in the dark.
Stores
Bunk beds are a great option to fit two people in a room without taking up too much space. The bed's upper portion is typically accessible via a ladder, which is great for children sharing a bedroom, or family members who live in tiny apartments.
Bunk beds come in many sizes and styles to fit in with any space. They can be adapted to meet the requirements of each sleeping individual. If, for example, one child likes sleeping on the top bunk and the other one on the bottom, the beds could be set up so that they face each other. This allows for each person to have their own personal space, yet be within the family.
Another benefit that many people who own bunk beds appreciate is the possibility of incorporating storage drawers under the bed or trundles to their frame. These accessories can be put beneath the bunk bed to store clothing or blankets. They also offer extra space to sleepovers for guests who visit.
Apart from drawers for under-bed storage, trundles can be added to bunk beds in the shape of pull-out mattresses that lie under the bed's bottom and are accessible with a simple step. This can provide a comfortable spot for one extra sleeping person when guests are in and also eliminates the requirement to take out an air mattress.
Anyone who is considering purchasing a bunk bed must consider the safety features. Be sure to check for side rails on the upper and lower bunks to stop children from falling off the top bunk. It is also important to think about the thickness of a mattress you can fit on the upper bunk as too thick of a mattress could cause a sleeper to fall off the rails of guards in the middle of sleep and hurt him or herself.
Other safety options include the kind of ladder you pick for your bunk bed. Some bunk beds feature an extended ladder that connects the upper and lower rails. Some have a shorter ladder that is attached to the front of the upper guard rail. This is perfect for children because it makes the climb to the top bunk simpler and safer.
