Size

Size is an important factor to consider when shopping for a double bunk bed. Many children grow quickly, and they may outgrow a bunk bed prior to when you are ready to make another purchase. The kind of mattress you pick is also an essential consideration when choosing the bunk bed.

Twin over twin bunk beds are the most common bunk bed configurations. These bunk beds consist of two twin-sized mattresses, stacked on top of each other. They're perfect for siblings sharing in a bedroom. Twin over twin bunks accommodate normal twin mattresses, which are 39 inches wide and 75 inches long. Consider twin XL mattresses if you are looking for a more luxurious mattress. These mattresses are five inches taller than standard twins. They're ideal for teens, college students, and adults.

Full-size mattresses are placed on the bottom bunk of full-over-full bunk beds. This is perfect for children and adults who are taller. The full-size mattress measures 54 inches wide and 75 inches long. A lot of these beds feature a trundle that pulls out from under the lower bed, providing an additional sleeping space for guests.

Some bunk beds come with separate loft beds of twin size that can be separated into individual separate beds. This is a great choice for those who want to secure your bunk bed by keeping the beds on the upper and lower sides distinct, or if your children choose to swap rooms in the future.

There are also bunk beds that don't require a foundation or box spring, because the frame elevates the mattress. This is a great choice for families with a tight budget as it saves money and eliminates the necessity of a separate foundation or box spring.

The number of people you need to sleep on your bunk bed will influence your choice of frame and mattress. Larger bedrooms can accommodate triple, L-shaped, or trundle bunk beds, while smaller rooms are better designed for a twin over twin or full over full arrangement.

Style

Depending on the configuration, a bunk bed with double mattresses can accommodate either children or adults. Standard bunk beds are stacked one on top of each other and the top bed accessible by ladder. This arrangement is ideal for rooms with a limited space and helps make the space more useful. A futon bunk is an alternative option. It is designed as a standard bunk, however it is a futon sofa lower in a Western style which can be converted into a bed. The bunk bed can accommodate up to four people simultaneously and is a great option for families with teenagers or college students.

If you're looking to outfit your bunk bed with additional storage space, consider a set with stairs that incorporates drawers for clothing or other things. Some sets have desks that are built-in and a wooden panel on the side of the stairs that can be used to hang wall decor or artwork. Bunk beds with a desk are ideal for bedrooms for children however, they be used in guest rooms or as a primary bedroom for older children and teens.

The color of your bunk bed may affect the overall look of your room. A white bunk with double bed bed, for example will give a sense of lightness and airiness, while a bed made of dark wood gives off a rustic or traditional style. If you are planning to put bunk beds in a shared bedroom for children pick the right paint finish that will be a perfect match for your furniture pieces.

Safety

Safety is a key aspect to consider when buying bunk beds. Bunk beds are dangerous in the event that they are not constructed properly or if the children don't follow the rules. It's crucial to measure the room where you'd like to put it and check the dimensions of the frame against the dimensions of your mattress. This will ensure that the mattress is a perfect fit and that there is enough room for your child to get in and out of bed with no problems.

Guard rails are a key security feature. They should be located on the top and bottom bunks. The rails that guard the bed should be constructed of solid wood and attached securely to the frame. Any gaps, openings or holes in the frame of the bed should also be small enough so that children's heads, legs or torsos cannot get caught in the gaps. It's also recommended to make sure that any ladders or steps used to climb up and down the bed are either part of the frame or are securely attached to it to avoid them coming loose and creating an accident hazard.

Another safety tip to remember: Do not let children less than six years old sleep on the top bunk. Most bunk bed-related injuries occur to children under this age and more than half happen because of falls. In addition to that it's an excellent idea to establish clear rules about using the bunk bed and make it clear that the top bunk isn't to be used for playing, jumping or anything else.

Finally, it's recommended to make sure that no belts, clothes or jump ropes are hanging off the frame of the bunk bed since these can pose serious strangulation dangers to children. You can buy clip on shelves that secure easily to the side of the bunk bed with double underneath. They will give your child a space to store their night-time essentials so they don't have to get up from the bed to search for them in the dark.

Stores

Bunk beds are a great option to accommodate two people in one room and not take up too much space. The upper bed is typically accessible via a ladder, which is ideal for siblings sharing bedrooms, or for family members living in small apartments.

Bunk bed frames come in various sizes, shapes and styles that will fit in with any space. They can be made to meet the needs of each individual sleeping. For instance, if one child prefers to sleep on the top of the bunk and the other on the bottom, the beds can be arranged in a way that they are facing each one. This allows for each person to have their own personal space, while still being surrounded by family members.

Another benefit that many people who own bunk beds appreciate is the possibility of incorporating storage drawers under the bed or trundles to their frame. These add-ons are stationed beneath the bed's lower section and can be used to hold blankets or clothing. They also offer 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 beneath the bottom bed and can be easily opened with just a few steps. This provides an additional sleeping space when guests visit and eliminates the need for an air mattress.

Anyone considering buying a bunk bed must consider the safety features. Make sure there are side rails on the lower and upper bunks to keep children from falling off the top bunk. It's important to also consider the amount of mattress that can be comfortably fitted on the upper bunk. Too thick a mattress could cause a child to fall off the guard rails and cause injury to themselves.

Other options for safety include the kind of ladder you select for your bunk bed. Some bunk beds have a long ladder connecting the upper and lower rails. Others have a shorter ladder attached to the front of the upper guard rail. This is the most suitable option for children because it makes climbing up to the top bunk safer and easier.
