Size

When looking for a bunk bed that comes with a double bed, size is an important aspect to consider. Children grow rapidly and may outgrow a bunk bed before you're ready to make a new purchase. The type of mattress you select is also a crucial factor when selecting the bunk bed.

Twin over twin bunk beds are the most typical bunk bed configurations. They feature two twin-sized beds placed one on top of the other, and are perfect for siblings sharing the same room. Twin over twin bunks can accommodate the standard twin mattresses that are 39 inches wide and 75 inches long. Think about twin XL mattresses in case you desire a more luxurious bed. These mattresses are five inches larger than the normal twins. They're ideal for teens college students, as well as adults.

Full-size mattresses are positioned on the bottom bunk of full-over-full beds. This is ideal for kids and adults who are taller. The full-size mattress is 54 inches wide and 75 inches long. Many of these beds have the option of a trundle that can be pulled out from underneath the lower bed to provide additional sleeping space.

Some bunk beds have lofts that are twin-sized and can be broken down into separate beds. This is a great option for those who want to secure your bunk bed by keeping the lower and upper beds distinct, or if your children decide to switch rooms in the future.

There are also bunk beds that do not require the need for a foundation or box spring because the frame elevates the mattress. This is a great option for families on budget as it eliminates the necessity for foundations or box springs.

Your choice of frame and mattress will also be influenced by the number of guests who will sleep on your bunk beds. Larger bedrooms can accommodate triple, L-shaped or trundle bunk beds, while smaller rooms are suited for a twin over full or twin over full layout.

Style

Based on the configuration, a bunk bed with double mattresses can accommodate either children or adults. Standard bunk beds are placed on top of each other with the top bed accessed by a ladder. This arrangement is great for rooms that are small and makes the space more functional. Another option is a futon bunk that is designed to look like a standard bunk but with the futon couch in a lower Western style that can be converted into a bed. This bunk bed is great for families with teens and college students. It can accommodate up to four people.

Some sets also include a built-in desk and a wooden panel on the side of the staircase which can be used as a unique place to hang artwork or decorate. Bunk beds that have desks are great for children's bedrooms but they can also work well in guest rooms or as a principal bedroom for older kids and teenagers.

The color of the bunk bed could influence the overall style of your space. For example white bunk beds can give you a light and airy feel while dark wood bunk beds gives a more traditional or rustic feel. If you're considering using a twin bunk bed within a bedroom shared by children, choose a paint color that matches the furniture. Bunk beds can be used to enhance the nautical theme like this bedroom by Kirsten Brockner Interiors with seashore-inspired bedding, blue and red stripes and a stairway that is suitable for a captain's cabin.

A bunk bed with a twin bed that has a neutral stone finish can be easily upgraded by adding some throw pillows in contrast shades.

Safety

Safety is a key aspect to consider when buying bunk beds. Bunk beds are dangerous when they are not constructed correctly or if the children don't adhere to the rules. It is important to take measurements of the space you intend to put the bunk bed, and compare the dimensions of the frame to 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 without any problems.

A crucial safety feature to look out for is guard rails on the bottom and top bunks. These should be a solid wood and securely fastened to the frame of the bunk. Also any holes, gaps or openings in the frame of a bunk bed must be small enough to prevent children's legs, head or torso from getting trapped in them. To avoid tripping hazards, it is a good idea to ensure that any ladders and stairs used to climb up the frame of the bunk bed are part of the frame or are a part of it.

Another important safety tip is to not allow children younger than six to sleep on the top bunk. The majority of injuries resulting from bunk beds occur to children who are less than six years old, and it is estimated that half of these injuries are caused by falls. It is a good idea as well, to set clear guidelines for the use of the bunk bed, and to stress that the top bunk shouldn't be used for jumping, playing or anything else.

Also, it's an excellent idea to make sure that no clothes, belts or jump ropes hang from the frame of the bunk bed as they could pose serious strangulation hazards for children. You can purchase shelves that attach easily to the side and give your child somewhere to store their night-time necessities and not have to leave their bed at night to search for them.

Stores

Bunk beds are a great option to accommodate two people in one room and not take up too much space. The bed above can be reached via an escalator. This is ideal for siblings who share a bedroom or for family members who live in small apartment.

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. If, for instance, one child likes sleeping on the top of the bunk and the other on the bottom one, the beds can be set up so that they face each one. This allows each person to have his or her own private space while still having the comfort of being in the company of loved ones.

Many bunk bed owners also appreciate the possibility of adding under-bed storage drawers and trundles. These extras can be put underneath the lower bunk bed to store clothing or blankets. These add-ons can also be used to provide additional space for guests to come to visit.

Trundles can also be found for bunk beds as pull-out mattresses. These mattresses are accessible via one step and are located beneath the bunk bed's bottom. This gives you an additional sleeping space for guests who come over and eliminates the need for an air mattress.

Anyone who is considering purchasing bunk beds should take into consideration the safety features. Be sure to check for side rails on the lower and upper bunks to stop children from falling off the top bunk. It's important to also consider the thickness of a mattress that can be comfortably fitted 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 safety option. Some bunk beds have a long ladder connecting the upper and lower rails. Others have a shorter ladder that is attached to the front of the upper guard rails. This is the best option for children as it makes climbing to the top bunk more secure and more comfortable.
