Size

Size is a key aspect to take into account when looking for a double bunk bed. Many children grow quickly, and they may outgrow a bunk bed before you're ready to make a new purchase. When choosing a bunkbed, you should also consider the kind of mattress.

The most commonly used bunk bed configuration is twin over twin. They are made up of two twin beds placed on top of each other and are ideal for siblings who share rooms. Twin over twin bunks can accommodate normal twin mattresses, which are 39 inches wide and 75 inches long. If you're looking for a more extravagant option, look into twin XL bunk bed mattresses. These mattresses are five inches larger than the standard twins. They are ideal for teenagers college students, as well as adults.

Full over full bunk beds have a full-size mattress on the bottom bunk, which is perfect for adults as well as children who are taller than the average. The full-size mattress measures 54 inches wide and 75 inches long. Many of these beds are equipped with the option of a trundle that can be removed from under the lower bed to provide an additional sleeping space.

Some bunk bed sets include lofts with twin-sized beds that can be split into separate standalone beds. This is a great choice for those who want to secure your bunk bed by separating the upper and lower beds separate, or if your children decide to switch rooms in the near future.

You can also find bunk beds that don't require foundation or box springs, as the frame of these beds elevates the mattress. This is a great choice for families with a tight budget since it can save money and eliminates the necessity of an additional foundation or box spring.

The number of people who have to sleep with on the bunk bed will determine the frame and mattress. Larger rooms can accommodate triple bunk beds or L-shaped bunk beds. Smaller rooms are better suited to a twin over full or full over twin arrangement.

Style

A bunk bed with a double mattress can accommodate kids or adults, depending on the arrangement you select. Standard bunk beds are placed on the top of each other, with the top bed accessible by an incline. This arrangement is great for rooms that are small, and makes the room more functional. Another alternative is a futon bunk, which is arranged like a standard bed, but has a lower Western-style futon couch which converts into beds. This bunk bed is great for families with teens and college students. It can accommodate up to four people.

If you're looking to outfit your bunk bed with additional storage, you should look for an item with drawers to store clothing or other items. Some sets come with a built-in desk and a wooden panel on the side of the stairs which can be used as a unique place to hang art or decorate. Bunk beds with a desk are ideal for bedrooms for children but they can be used in a guest room or as the main bedroom for older kids and teenagers.

The color of your bunk bed may affect the overall appearance of your room. A white bunk bed, for example can give the impression of lightness and airiness, while a bunk bed made from dark wood will give an old-fashioned or rustic feel. If you're planning to use the twin bunk bed in a shared bedroom for kids pick a color that complements the other furniture. Bunk beds are a great way to enhance a nautical theme.

A bunk bed with twin beds that have a neutral stone finish can easily be upgraded by adding a few throw pillows in contrast colors.

Safety

One of the main considerations when buying bunk beds is safety. Bunk beds can be very risky if they're not constructed or if the children don't adhere to the rules. You should determine the area you're planning to put the bunk bed and compare the dimensions of the frame to the measurements of the mattress. This will help ensure that the mattress is perfectly sized and that there is enough room for your child to get into and out of bed without any problems.

A key safety feature to look out for is guard rails on both the top and bottom bunks. They should be constructed of solid wood and securely fastened to the frame of the bunk. Also any holes, gaps or openings in the frame of a bunk bed should be small enough to prevent children's heads, legs or torsos from getting trapped in them. It's also recommended to make sure that any ladders or stairs used to climb up and down the bunk bed are part of the frame or are securely attached to it, to avoid them falling off and creating an accident hazard.

Another safety tip to remember: Don't let children younger than six years old sleep on the top bunk. The majority of bunk bed-related injuries occur to children younger than six years old, and it is estimated that half of them are caused by falls. In addition, it's also recommended to establish clear rules for using the bunk bed and stress that the top bunk isn't to be used for playing, jumping or for anything else.

It's also a good idea to make sure that no belts, clothing or jump ropes are hanging off the frame of the bunk bed since they could pose serious strangulation hazards for children. You can buy shelves that clip easily to the side of the bed and provide your child somewhere to store their night-time necessities, so they don't have to get out of bed at night to find them.

Storage

Bunk beds permit two people to sleep in a space without taking up the space on the floor. The upper bed is usually accessible via a ladder, which is great for siblings sharing a bedroom, or family members who live in small apartments.

Bunk bed frames are available in various sizes, shapes and styles that can suit any room. They can be adapted to meet the needs of each sleeping individual. For example that if one child would prefer the top bed while another prefers the bottom bunk, the beds can be set up to make them face each the other. This lets each person have their personal space while being close to family members.

Many bunk bed owners appreciate the possibility of adding under-bed storage drawers and trundles. These extras are placed beneath the bed's lower section and can be used to store blankets or clothing. These add-ons can also serve to provide additional space for guests to visit.

Trundles are also available for bunk beds as pull-out mattresses. They can be accessed by one step and are situated beneath the bunk bed's bottom. bunk bed double creates a cozy space for one extra sleeping person when guests are in and also eliminates the need to pull out an air mattress.

Safety features are essential for anyone who is considering buying a bunk bed. Make sure there are 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 how thick a mattress can comfortably fit on the upper bunk. Too thick a mattress could cause a child to slide off the railings and hurt themselves.

The type of ladder that you select for your bunk beds is a different security option. Some bunk beds have a long ladder connecting the upper and lower rails. Others have a shorter ladder attached to the front of upper guard rails. This is ideal for children because it makes the climb to the top bunk easier and safer.
