Size
Size is a key factor to consider when choosing a double bunk bed. Many children grow quickly, and they may outgrow a bunk bed prior to when you want to make another purchase. When selecting a bunkbed you must also think about the type of mattress.
The most common 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 perfect for siblings sharing in a bedroom. Twin over twin bunks can accommodate standard twin mattresses, which are 39 inches wide and 75 inches long. You can consider twin XL mattresses if you are looking for a more luxurious mattress. They're five inches bigger than standard twins and work well for college students, teenagers, and adults.
Full-size mattresses are used on the bottom bunk of full-over-full beds. This is perfect for children and adults who are taller. The full-size bed is 54 inches in width and 75 inches in length. A majority of these beds come with the option of a trundle that can be removed from under the lower bed to provide more sleeping space.
Some bunk bed sets have lofts that are twin-sized and can be divided into separate beds. This is an excellent option for those who want to secure your bunk bed by making the lower and upper beds separate, or should your children choose to swap rooms in the near future.
There are bunk double bunk beds that do not require foundation or box springs as the frame of these bunks raises the mattress. This is a great choice for families on a budget since it can save money and eliminates the necessity of a separate foundation or box spring.
Your choice of frame and mattress will also be affected by the number of people who will sleep on your bunk beds. Larger bedrooms can accommodate triple, L-shaped, or trundle bunk beds, while smaller rooms are designed for twin over full or twin over full layout.
Style
A bunk bed with a double mattress can accommodate kids or adults, depending on the layout you select. The standard bunk beds are stacked on one another, with the top bed accessed by a ladder. This arrangement is ideal for rooms with a little space and makes the space more practical. Another option is a futon, which is arranged as a standard bunk, but has an asymmetrical futon couch which converts into a bed. This bed is ideal for families with teens or college students. It can sleep four people.
If you're looking for extra storage for your bunk bed, look for a set with drawers for clothing and other items. Some sets include an integrated desk and a wooden panel along the bottom of the stairs, which can be used to hang wall decorations or art. Bunk beds that include desks work well in children's rooms, but can also be used as an extra bedroom for guests or as the main bedroom of older kids and teens.
The color of the bunk bed can affect the overall appearance of your space. For example, a white bunk bed can provide an airy and light feel while dark wood bunk beds creates a more traditional or rustic feel. If you're planning to put up a twin bunk bed within a shared bedroom for kids, choose a paint color that complements the furniture. Bunk beds are an excellent way to enhance the nautical theme. This bedroom by Kirsten Brockner Interiors includes bedding that is inspired by the sea, accents in blue and red stripes, and a staircase fit for a captain’s cabin.
Keep the design simple and neat when decorating a bunk with the size of a double bed. This will allow it to be easily altered by your child as they grow and their tastes change. A bunk bed with twin beds with an unassuming stone finish can easily be modernized by adding some throw pillows in contrasting colors.
Safety
One of the most important concerns when buying a bunk bed is safety. Bunk beds pose danger if not built properly or if the children don't adhere to the rules. You must take measurements of the space you're planning to put the bunk bed, and compare the dimensions of the frame to the dimensions of the mattress. This will ensure that the mattress is perfectly sized and there is enough space for your child to climb into and out of bed with no problems.
Guard rails are an essential security feature. They should be on the top and bottom bunks. They should be constructed of solid piece of wood that is securely fastened to the frame of the bunk. Any gaps, openings, or holes on the frame of the bed should also be small enough so that children's legs, heads or torsos don't get stuck in them. It's also recommended to ensure that any ladders or steps used to climb up and down the bed are either part of the frame or that they're securely fastened to it, to avoid them coming loose and creating a tripping hazard.
Another safety tip to remember: Never let children under six years old sleep on the top bunk. Most bunk bed-related injuries occur to children who aren't yet this age and more than half of them occur due to falls. It is a good idea too, to establish clear rules for using the bunk bed, and to emphasize that the top bunk should not be used for jumping or playing.
Finally, it's a good idea to make sure that no belts, clothing or jump ropes are hanging from the frame of the bunk bed since they can be strangulation dangers to children. You can buy shelves that clip easily to the side of the bed and provide your child a place to keep their night-time necessities, so they don't need to get out of bed at night to find them.
Storage
Bunk beds are a great way to fit two people in a room without taking up too much space. The bed above can be reached via the ladder. This is perfect for siblings who share the bedroom or for family members who live in small apartments.
Bunk beds come in a variety of sizes and styles to suit any room. They can be customized to meet the needs of each person sleeping. For example, if one child prefers the top bunk while another prefers the bottom bunk, the beds can be arranged so that they face each other. This lets each child have his or her privacy while enjoying the comfort of being in the company of family members.
Many owners of bunk beds appreciate the possibility of adding under-bed storage drawers and trundles. These accessories can be put beneath the bunk bed to store clothing or blankets. They also provide extra room for sleepovers during visits from guests.
Besides under-bed drawers, trundles can also be added to bunk beds in the form of pull-out mattresses that are placed underneath the bottom bed and are accessible by a simple move. This allows for an additional sleeping space for guests who are visiting and eliminates the requirement for an air mattress.
Safety features are essential for anyone who is considering buying a bunk bed. Be sure to check for side rails on the lower and upper bunks to prevent the child from falling off the top bunk. It's also important to think about the amount of mattress that can comfortably fit on the upper bunk. A mattress that is too heavy could cause a child to slide off the railings and hurt themselves.
Other options for safety include the kind of ladder you select for your bunk bed. Some types of bunk beds have a lengthy ladder that connects the upper and lower guard rails, whereas other types offer a shorter ladder that is attached to the front of the upper guard rail. This is ideal for children since it makes the climb to the top bunk easier and safer.
