Size

When you are looking for a bunk bed that comes with a double bed the size is a crucial factor to consider. Many children grow rapidly, and you may need to purchase a new bunk bed before they reach the size of the current one. When selecting a bunkbed it is important to consider the type of mattress.

Twin over twin bunk beds are the most typical bunk bed configurations. 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 be able to accommodate standard twin mattresses measuring 39 inches wide and 75 inches long. Consider twin XL mattresses if you desire a more luxurious bed. They're five inches bigger than standard twins and work well for teenagers, college youth and adults.

Full-size mattresses are positioned on the bottom bunk of full-over-full beds. This is ideal for children and adults who are taller. The full-size bed measures 54 inches in width and 75 inches in length. A majority of these beds come with a trundle that pulls out from under the lower mattress, providing an additional sleeping space for guests.

Some bunk bed sets feature separate twin-sized loft beds that can be separated into individual standalone beds. This is a great choice if you wish to future-proof the bunk bed by segregating the lower and upper beds, or if the children decide to change rooms in the near future.

There are also bunk beds without box springs or foundations because the frame elevates the mattress. This is a great option for families on an extremely tight budget, since it eliminates the necessity for foundations or box springs.

The number of people that have to sleep with on your bunk bed will also influence your choice of frame and mattress. 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

Based on the configuration, a bunk bed with double mattresses can be used by children or adults. The standard bunk beds are stacked one over each other with the top bed accessible by ladder. This arrangement is great for rooms with a little space and makes the room more useful. Another alternative is a futon bunk that is designed to look as a standard bunk, but has an asymmetrical futon couch which converts into bed. The bed can sleep up to four people at a time and is an excellent choice for families with teenagers or college students.

If you're looking to outfit your bunk bed with additional storage space, consider sets that have stairs that have drawers to store clothing or other things. Some sets come with an integrated desk and a wooden panel along the side of the stairs that can be used to hang wall decorations or artwork. Bunk beds with a desk are great for children's bedrooms but they can also work well in a guest room or as the principal bedroom for older kids and teens.

The color of the bunk bed may affect the overall appearance of your room. A white bunk bed, for example will give a sense of airiness and lightness, while a bed made of dark wood gives an old-fashioned or rustic vibe. If you're planning to put up a twin bunk bed in a bedroom shared by children make sure you pick a paint color that matches the furniture. Bunk beds are an excellent way to enhance a nautical theme. This bedroom designed by Kirsten Brockner Interiors includes bedding that is inspired by the ocean with accents of blue and red stripes, and a staircase fit for a captain’s cabin.

A bunk bed with twin beds with an unassuming stone finish can easily be updated by adding some throw pillows in contrast shades.

Safety

Safety is an important factor when buying bunk beds. Bunk beds can be incredibly dangerous if they're poorly built or the kids do not follow 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 measurements of the mattress. This will ensure that the mattress fits perfectly, and your child will be able to be able to get into and out of the bed with no issues.

Guard rails are a key safety feature. They should be on the top and bottom bunks. These should be a solid wood and securely fastened to the frame of the bunk. Additionally any holes, gaps or openings on the frame of a bunk bed need to be small enough to keep children's legs, heads or torsos from getting trapped in them. It's also a good idea to ensure that any ladders or steps used to climb up and down the bunk bed are part of the frame itself or that they're securely secured to it to prevent them from becoming loose and causing the risk of tripping.

Another safety tip to remember: Don't let children younger than six years old sleep on the top bunk. The majority of the injuries that occur from bunk bed with double bed on bottom beds occur to children who are less than six years old, and more than half of them result from falls. Additionally, it's also a good idea to set specific rules regarding the use of the bunk bed and make it clear that the top bunk isn't to be used for playing, jumping or anything else.

It's also recommended to make sure that no clothes, belts or jump ropes are hanging off the frame of the bunk bed as they could pose serious strangulation hazards for children. You can purchase clip on shelves that secure easily to the sides of the bed and provide your child a space to store their essentials for the night so that they don't need to get up out of bed to find them in the dark.

Stores

Bunk beds allow two persons to share a space without taking up the space. The bed's upper portion is typically accessible via a ladder, which is great for siblings sharing the bedroom, or for family members living in small apartments.

Bunk beds are available in a variety of sizes, styles and shapes to suit any room. They can be made to meet the needs of each person sleeping. For instance, if one child prefers the top bunk while another prefers the bottom bunk and the beds can be arranged to make them face each one. This allows for each person to have their own private space, yet be surrounded by family members.

Another feature that a lot of homeowners of bunk beds enjoy is the option of adding under-bed storage drawers or trundles to their frames. These are positioned beneath the bed's lower section and can be used to hold blankets or clothing. These add-ons can also serve to provide additional space for guests when they visit.

Besides under-bed drawers Trundles can be affixed to bunk beds in the shape of pull-out mattresses that are placed underneath the bottom bed and can be easily opened with a simple step. This allows for an additional sleeping space for guests who come over and eliminates the need for an air mattress.

Anyone who is considering purchasing a bunk bed must consider the safety features. It is important to look for side rails on the lower and upper bunks that help keep a child from falling off the top bunk. It is also important to consider how thick a mattress can be comfortably fitted on the upper bunk. A mattress that is too thick could cause a child roll off the guard rails and hurt themselves.

The kind of ladder you choose for your bunk beds is another safety option. Certain bunk beds have a lengthy ladder that connects the upper and lower guard rails, while others offer an easier ladder that connects to the front of the upper guard rail. This is the most suitable option for children because it makes climbing to the top bunk safer and easier.
