Size

Size is an important aspect to take into account when looking for a double bunk bed. Many children grow quickly and could outgrow a bunk bed prior to when you want to make another purchase. The kind of mattress you choose is another important factor to consider when choosing the bunk bed.

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 a bedroom. Twin over twin bunks are able to accommodate the standard twin mattresses that are 39 inches wide and 75 inches long. You can consider twin XL mattresses in case you are looking for a more luxurious mattress. These mattresses are five inches longer than standard twins. They're ideal for teens as well as college students and adults.

Full-size mattresses are used on the bottom bunk of full-over-full bunk beds. This is ideal for adults and children 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 can be pulled out from under the mattress, providing an additional sleeping space for guests.

Some bunk beds come with separate loft beds of twin size that can be divided into standalone beds. This is a great choice if you want to future-proof your bunk bed by making the beds on the upper and lower sides distinct, or if your children decide to swap rooms in the near future.


There are bunk beds that do not require a foundation or box spring because the frame elevates the mattress. This is a great choice for families on budget as it does away with the need for foundations or box springs.

The number of people who need to sleep 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 twin over full or full over twin layout.

Style

Depending on the configuration a bunk bed with double mattresses can accommodate either children or adults. Standard bunk beds are stacked one over the other with the top bed accessible through a ladder. This arrangement is great for rooms that are small and makes the space more practical. Another alternative is a futon bunk, which is arranged like a standard bed, but has a lower Western-style futon couch that can be converted into bed. This bunk 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 add more storage space for your bunk bed, search for a set with drawers for clothing and other items. Some sets come with desks that are built-in and a wooden panel on the side of the stairs, which 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 a principal bedroom for older kids and teens.

The color of your bunk bed could affect the overall look of your room. For instance, a white bunk bed will give an airy and light feel, while dark wood bunk beds gives 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 shade that is in harmony with the other furniture.

A bunk bed with a twin bed that has a stone-like finish that is neutral can be easily upgraded by adding a few throw pillows in different hues.

Safety

One of the biggest concerns when buying bunk beds is safety. Bunk beds pose danger if not built properly or if children don't follow the rules. It's crucial to determine the area you'd like to put it and then compare the dimensions of the frame against the measurements of your mattress. This will ensure that the mattress fits perfectly and that your child can get in and out of the bed without any difficulties.

A key safety feature to look out for is guard rails on the bottom and top bunks. These rails must be made of solid wood and attached securely to the frame. Any gaps, openings or holes on the frame of the bunk bed should also be small enough so that children's heads, legs or torsos don't get trapped in the gaps. It's also a good idea to make sure that any stairs or ladders used to climb up and down the bunk bed are either part of the frame itself or that they're securely secured to it, to avoid them coming loose and creating a tripping hazard.

Another important safety tip is to never 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 more that half of them result from falls. It's a good idea also, to establish clear guidelines for the use of the bunk bed, and to stress that the top bunk shouldn't be used for bouncing, playing or anything else.

double top bunk bed is crucial to ensure that no clothes belts, jump ropes hang off the frame of a bunk bed. They can pose dangerous strangulation hazards for children. You can buy clip-on shelves that attach easily to the sides of the bed and provide your child a place to keep their essentials for the night so that they don't need to get up from bed to look for them in the dark.

Stores

Bunk beds allow two persons to sleep in the same space without taking up too much space. The upper bed is usually accessible via a ladder, which is perfect for families with children sharing the bedroom, or for family members who live in small apartments.

Bunk beds are available in a variety of sizes, styles and shapes to fit in with any space. They can be customized to meet the needs of each sleeping individual. If, for instance, one child likes sleeping on the top bunk, and the other on the bottom, the beds could then be arranged so that they face each the other. This lets each child have his or her personal space while having the comfort of being surrounded by family members.

Many bunk bed owners also like the option of adding under-bed storage drawers and trundles. These extras can be put underneath the lower bunk bed to store clothing or blankets. They also give extra space for sleepovers when guests visit.

In addition to drawers under the bed, trundles can also be added to bunk beds in the form of pull-out mattresses that lie under the bed's bottom and are easily accessed by a simple move. This provides an additional sleeping space for guests who come over and eliminates the need for an air mattress.

Safety features are a must for anyone considering purchasing bunk beds. Be sure to check for side rails on the lower and upper bunks to keep the child from falling off the top bunk. It is also important to think about how thick of a mattress you can comfortably fit on the upper bunk because a too thick mattress could cause a sleeper to roll off of the rails that guard them in the middle of sleep and hurt him or herself.

The kind of ladder you choose for your bunk beds is another safety option. Some bunk beds have an extended ladder that connects the upper and lower rails. Others have a shorter ladder attached to the front of upper guard rails. This is ideal for children as it makes climbing to the top bunk simpler and safer.
