Size
Size is a major factor to consider when shopping for a double bunk bed. Children grow rapidly, and they may outgrow a bunk bed before you're ready to make a new purchase. The kind of mattress you pick is another important factor to consider when choosing a bunk bed.
The most popular bunk bed configuration is twin over twin. They have two beds of the same size stacked on top of each other, and are perfect for siblings who share a room. Twin over twin bunks can accommodate the standard twin mattresses that are 39 inches wide and 75 inches long. If you're looking for a extravagant option, look into twin XL bunk bed mattresses. They're five inches bigger than standard twins and work well for teenagers, college youth, and adults.
Full over full bunk beds feature an extra-large mattress on the bottom bunk, which is ideal for adults or for children who are taller than average. The full-size bed measures 54 inches in width and 75 inches in length. Many of these beds come with the trundle, which can be pulled out from underneath the lower bed to provide an additional sleeping space.
Some bunk beds come with loft beds that are twin-sized and can be separated into individual separate beds. This is a great option for those who want to secure your bunk bed by making the lower and upper beds separate, or if your children decide to swap rooms in the future.
There are bunk beds without box springs or foundations as the frame raises the mattress. This is a great option for families who are on an extremely tight budget, since it eliminates the necessity for foundations or box springs.
Your choice of frame and mattress will also be influenced by the number of people who will sleep on your bunk beds. Larger rooms can accommodate triple, L-shaped or trundle bunk beds, while smaller rooms are designed for twin over twin or full over full arrangement.
Style
Based on the configuration, bunk beds with double mattresses can be used by children or adults. The standard bunk beds are stacked one on top of one another and the top bed accessible via ladder. This arrangement is ideal for rooms with a limited space, and makes the room more practical. double bed with bunk is a futon bunk that is set up as a standard bunk, but features an asymmetrical futon couch that can be converted into beds. This bunk bed is great for families with teens or college students. It can accommodate four people.
If you want to outfit your bunk bed with additional storage space, consider an item with drawers for clothing and other items. Some sets come with desks that are built-in as well as a wooden board along the side of the stairs, which can be used to hang wall decor or artwork. Bunk beds with desks are great for children's bedrooms but they can be used in guest rooms or as the main bedroom for older kids and teens.
The color of your bunk bed may have a significant impact on the overall look of your room. A white bunk bed, for instance will give a sense of lightness and airiness while a bunk bed constructed from dark wood will give an authentic or traditional feel. If you're planning to install bunk beds in a bedroom shared by children choose the right paint finish that will complement your other furniture pieces. Bunk beds can be used to complement a nautical theme like this bedroom by Kirsten Brockner Interiors, which features seashore-inspired bedding, red and blue stripes and a stairway suitable for a cabin of a captain.
If you are decorating a bunk bed with a double bed, make sure to keep the style simple and clean so that it is able to be easily modified as your child grows older and their tastes change. A bunk bed with twin beds that have an unassuming stone finish can easily be upgraded by adding a few throw pillows of different shades.
Safety
Safety is a major factor when buying a bunk bed. Bunk beds can be extremely dangerous if they're poorly constructed or if the children don't adhere to the rules. It is important to measure the space where you plan to place the bunk bed, and compare the dimensions of the frame with the dimensions of the mattress. This will ensure that the mattress fits perfectly, and that your child is able to get in and out of the bed without difficulties.
A crucial safety feature to look out for is guard rails on both the top and bottom bunks. The rails that guard the bed should be made from solid wood and secured securely to the frame. Any gaps, openings or holes in the frame of the bunk bed should also be small enough so that children's legs, heads or torsos aren't trapped in the gaps. It's also an excellent idea to ensure that any ladders or stairs 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 becoming loose and causing an accident hazard.
Another important safety tip is to not let children younger than six to sleep on the top bunk. Most bunk bed-related injuries occur to children younger than this age, and more than half of them happen because of falls. In addition to that it's recommended to establish clear rules for using the bunk bed and make it clear that the top bunk isn't for playing, jumping or anything else.
Finally, it's an excellent idea to make sure that no belts, clothing or jump ropes are hanging from the frame of the bunk bed as they could pose serious strangulation dangers to children. You can buy clip-on shelves that attach easily to the sides of the bunk. They will give your child a space to store their night time essentials so they don't have to get up out of the bed to search for them in the dark.
Storage
Bunk beds are a great way to accommodate two people in one room, without taking up too much space. The bed's upper portion is typically accessible via a ladder which is ideal for children sharing a bedroom, or family members living in small apartment.
Bunk beds are available in a variety of sizes, styles and shapes to suit any room. They can also be customized to fit the needs of the sleepers. If, for example, one child prefers to sleep on the top of the bunk and the other one on the bottom one, the beds can then be arranged so that they face each the other. This allows each person to have their own private space, but still be surrounded by family members.
Many owners of bunk beds enjoy the option to add under-bed storage drawers and trundles. These extras can be put beneath the bunk bed to store clothes or blankets. They also give extra space to sleepovers for guests who visit.
In addition to drawers under the bed, trundles can also be added to bunk beds in the form of mattresses that can be pulled out underneath the bottom bed and are easily accessed with just a few steps. This provides an additional sleeping space when guests are visiting and eliminates the requirement for an air mattress.
Anyone considering buying bunk beds should take into consideration the safety features. It is important to look for side rails on both the lower and upper bunks to prevent children from falling off the top bunk. It's important to also consider the amount of mattress that can be comfortably fitted on the upper bunk. A mattress that is too heavy could cause a child to roll off the guard rails and injure themselves.
Other safety options include the type of ladder you choose for your bunk bed. Certain bunk beds have a lengthy ladder that connects the lower and upper guard rails, whereas others offer a shorter ladder that attaches to the front of the upper guard rail. This is the ideal option for children, as it makes climbing up to the top bunk more secure and more comfortable.
