Size

Size is a key aspect to take into account when choosing a double bunk bed. Many children grow quickly and may outgrow a bunk bed before you want to make another purchase. The kind of mattress you pick is also an essential consideration when selecting the bunk bed.

Twin over twin bunk beds are the most typical bunk bed configurations. They are made up of two twin beds that are stacked on top of each other and are great for siblings sharing rooms. Twin over twin bunks accommodate the standard twin mattresses that are 39 inches wide and 75 inches long. Think about twin XL mattresses in case you want a more luxurious mattress. These mattresses are five inches longer than the standard twins. They are ideal for teenagers as well as college students and adults.

Full-size mattresses are placed on the bottom bunk of CITYLIGHT Full Over Full Bunk Beds With Stairs-over-full beds. This is perfect for adults and children who are taller. The full-size mattress measures 54 inches wide and 75 inches long. A majority of these beds come with the option of a trundle that can be pulled out from underneath the lower bed to provide more sleeping space.

Some bunk beds come with separate loft beds of twin size that can be separated into standalone beds. This is an excellent option for those who want to secure your bunk bed by keeping the upper and lower beds separate, or should your children choose to swap rooms in the near future.

There are also bunk beds without the need for a foundation or box spring because the frame elevates the mattress. This is a great option for families who are on budget as it removes the necessity for foundations or box springs.

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

Style

A bunk bed with a double mattress can be used by adults or kids, depending on the layout you select. The standard bunk beds are stacked on one another, with the top bed accessible via the ladder. This arrangement is ideal for rooms with limited space and helps make the room more functional. A futon bunk is a different option. It's designed to look like a standard bunk, but includes a lower futon couch with a Western style which can be converted into an actual bed. The bed can sleep up to four people simultaneously and is a great option for families with teens or college students.

If you're looking to add more storage for your bunk bed, look for a set that includes drawers for clothing and other items. Some sets also include desks that are built-in and a wooden panel at the end of the staircase, which can serve as a unique place to hang wall art or decor. Bunk beds with a desk are great for children's bedrooms but they can also be useful in a guest room or as a main bedroom for older kids and teenagers.

The color of your bunk bed could affect the overall appearance of your room. For example, a white bunk bed can provide a light and airy feel, while dark wood bunk beds creates a more traditional or rustic look. If you're considering using the twin bunk bed in a shared bedroom for kids pick a shade that is in harmony with the other furniture. Bunk beds can be used to add a nautical theme as in this bedroom by Kirsten Brockner Interiors with seashore-inspired bedding, red and blue stripes, and a staircase suitable for a cabin of a captain.

When decorating a bunk room with a double mattress, ensure that the design is simple and clean so that it can be easily modified as your child gets older and their preferences change. For instance, a bunk with double bed top bunk beds that have a neutral stone-colored finish can be easily updated by the addition of a few colorful throw pillows with contrasting shades.

Safety

Safety is a major aspect to consider when buying a bunk bed. Bunk beds can be very dangerous if they're not properly constructed or if kids do not follow the rules. It is important to determine the area you intend to put the bunk bed, and compare the dimensions of the frame to the dimensions of the mattress. This will ensure that your mattress fits perfectly and that there is enough clearance for your child to climb into and out of bed with no difficulties.

One of the most important safety features to look for is guard rails on the top and bottom bunks. They should be constructed of solid piece of wood that is securely fastened to the frame of the bunk. Additionally, any gaps, holes or openings on the frame of a bunk bed need to be small enough to avoid children's heads, legs or torso from getting caught in the gaps. To prevent accidents from tripping it is a good idea to ensure that ladders and stairs used to climb the frame of the bunk bed are part or the frame itself.

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 younger than six years old, and it is estimated than half of them result from falls. It's a good idea, too, to establish clear rules for the use of the bunk bed, and to make it clear that the top bunk should not be used for jumping, playing or anything else.

Finally, it's a good idea to make sure that no clothes, belts 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 can be easily clipped to the sides and give your child a place to keep their night-time necessities, so they don't have to leave their bed in the dark to find them.

Storage

Bunk beds are a great way to fit two people in a room, without taking up too much space. The bed on top is accessible by a ladder. This is ideal for siblings sharing the bedroom or for family members living in small apartments.

Bunk beds come in a variety of sizes and styles to fit in with any space. They can even be adjusted to meet the preferences of the sleeping individuals. For example that if one child would prefer the top bed while the other prefers the bottom bunk, the beds can be configured so that they face each one. This allows each child to have their own private space, but still be close to family members.

Many bunk bed owners appreciate the possibility of adding under-bed storage drawers and trundles. These are positioned underneath the lower bed and can be used to hold blankets or clothing. They also provide extra room for sleepovers during visits from guests.

Besides under-bed drawers, trundles can also be added to bunk beds in the form of mattresses that can be pulled out under the bed's bottom and are accessible with just a few steps. This provides a comfortable place for one additional sleeper when guests are visiting and eliminates the need to pull out an air mattress.

Safety features are a must for anyone thinking of buying a bunk bed. It is important to look for side rails on the lower and upper bunks to prevent children from falling off the top bunk. It's important to also consider how thick a mattress 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 kind of ladder you select for your bunk bed. Some bunk beds feature a long ladder connecting the lower and upper rails. Some include a shorter ladder that is tacked to the front of the upper guard rail. The latter is ideal for children as it makes climbing to the top bunk more comfortable and more secure.
