Size

Size is an important aspect to consider when looking for a double bunk bed. Children grow rapidly, and they may outgrow a bunk bed before you're ready to make a new purchase. When choosing a bunkbed it is important to consider the kind of mattress.

Twin over twin bunk beds are the most common bunk bed configurations. They have two beds of the same size placed on top of each other and are great for siblings sharing rooms. Twin over twin bunks can accommodate normal twin mattresses that measure 39 inches wide by 75 inches long. Consider twin XL mattresses in case you want a more luxurious mattress. They're five inches bigger than normal twins and are ideal for college students, teenagers and adults.

Full-size mattresses are used on the bottom bunk of full-over-full beds. This is perfect for adults and children who are taller. The full-size mattress is 54 inches wide and 75 inches long. Many of these beds come with the option of a trundle that can be removed from under the bed to create an additional sleeping space.

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

You can also find bunk beds double bottom beds that don't need foundation or box springs as the frame of these beds elevates the mattress. This is a great option for families with a tight budget, as it removes the necessity for foundations or box springs.

The number of people that have to sleep with on your bunk bed will also determine the frame and mattress. Larger rooms can accommodate triple bunk beds or L-shaped beds. Smaller rooms are better for a twin over full or full over twin arrangement.

Style

Depending on the configuration, bunk beds with double mattresses can accommodate either 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 limited space, and makes the room more useful. Another alternative is a futon bunk, which is arranged like a standard bed, but with the futon couch in a lower Western style that can be converted into a bed. This bunk bed can sleep up to four people at once and is a great option for families with teenagers or college students.

If you're looking to furnish your bunk bed with additional storage space, consider a set with stairs that have drawers for clothing and other things. Some sets come with desks that are built-in and a wooden panel on 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 be useful in a guest room or as a principal bedroom for older kids and teenagers.

The color of your bunk bed can have a significant impact on the overall appearance of your room. For instance a white bunk bed will give an airy and light feeling, while dark wood bunk beds provides a more traditional rustic vibe. If you're considering using the twin bunk bed in a bedroom shared by children, choose a paint color that complements the other furniture. Bunk beds are a great way to enhance the nautical theme.

If you are decorating a bunk bed with a double mattress, try to keep the design simple and neat so that it is able to be easily modified as your child grows up and their preferences change. For instance, a bunk bed with double beds with an unassuming stone-colored finish could be easily updated with the addition of colorful throw pillows with contrasting shades.

Safety

Safety is a major aspect to consider when buying bunk beds. Bunk beds can be extremely risky if they're not constructed or if children don't adhere to the rules. You should take measurements of the space 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 your child will be able to move into and out of the bed with no problems.

A crucial safety feature to look out for is guard rails on the top and bottom bunks. These rails must be made of solid wood and fastened securely to the frame. Any gaps, openings or holes in the frame of the bunk bed should be small enough that children's heads, legs or torsos don't get caught in them. To avoid tripping hazards it's a good idea ensure that ladders and steps used to climb the frame of the bunk bed are part or the frame itself.

Another important safety tip is to Do not let children less than six years old sleep on the top bunk. The majority of the injuries that occur from bunk beds happen to children under six years old, and it is estimated than half of these injuries are caused by falls. In addition, it's also recommended to establish clear rules about using the bunk bed, and to emphasize that the top bunk is not for jumping, playing or for anything else.

It's important to ensure that no clothes belts, jump ropes are hanging off the frame of the bunk bed. These can be dangerous strangulation hazards for children. You can purchase clip on shelves that can be easily attached to the sides of the bunk beds double on top and bottom and give your child a space to store their night time essentials so they don't need to get up out of bed to look for them in the dark.

Stores

Bunk beds are a great option to fit two people in a room without taking up too much space. The upper bed is accessible by an escalator. This is a great option for siblings sharing bedrooms or for family members living in a small apartment.

Bunk beds come in many sizes, styles and shapes to fit into any space. They can be made to meet the requirements of each individual sleeping. For example for instance, if one child likes the top bed while the other prefers the bottom bunk, the beds can be arranged to make them face each other. This allows for each person to have their own personal space, yet be within the family.

Another benefit that many bunk bed owners enjoy is having the option of adding storage drawers underneath or trundles to their frames. These are positioned underneath the lower bed and can be used to hold blankets or clothing. They also give extra space for sleepovers during visits from guests.

Besides under-bed drawers, trundles can be added to bunk beds in the shape of pull-out mattresses that lie under the bed's bottom and can be easily opened with just a few steps. This provides an additional sleeping space for guests who are visiting and eliminates the requirement for an air mattress.

Safety features are a must for anyone considering purchasing a bunk bed. You should look for side rails on the upper and lower bunks that prevent children from falling off the top bunk. It's also important to consider how thick of a mattress you can fit on the upper bunk, as a thick mattress can cause a sleeper to fall off the guard rails in the middle of sleep and hurt him or herself.

The kind of ladder you select for your bunk beds is a different choice for safety. Some types of bunk beds come with a long ladder that connects the lower and upper guard rails, while others offer a shorter ladder that is attached to the front of the upper guard rail. The latter is ideal for children since it makes climbing to the top bunk simpler and more secure.
