Size

Size is a key aspect to take into account when choosing a double bunk bed. Children grow rapidly, and they may outgrow a bunk bed prior to when you want to make another purchase. When selecting a bunkbed it is important to consider the type of mattress.

Twin over twin bunk beds are the most common bunk bed configurations. They have two beds of the same size that are stacked one on top of the other, and are perfect for siblings sharing rooms. Twin over twin bunks are able to accommodate normal twin mattresses, which are 39 inches wide and 75 inches long. If you're looking for a more luxurious option, you can consider twin XL bunk beds. They are five inches larger than normal twins and are ideal for teenagers, college youth and adults.

Full-size mattresses are placed on the bottom bunks of full-over-full bunk beds. This is perfect for kids and adults who are taller. The full-size mattress is 54 inches wide and 75 inches long. A majority of these beds come with an trundle that extends from under the 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 standalone beds. This is a great option for those who want to secure your bunk bed by separating the lower and upper beds separate, or should your children choose to swap rooms in the near future.


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

The number of people that need to sleep on your bunk bed will also affect the choice of frame and mattress. Larger rooms can accommodate triple, L-shaped or trundle bunk beds, smaller rooms are suitable for a twin over twin or full over full layout.

Style

Based on the configuration, a bunk bed with double mattresses can accommodate either children or adults. The standard bunk beds are stacked one on top of the other with the top bed accessible by ladder. This arrangement is ideal for rooms with limited space and makes the space more practical. Another alternative is a futon bunk that is set up as a standard bunk, but with a lower Western-style futon couch that can be converted into beds. The bunk bed can accommodate up to four people at a time and is a great choice for families with teens or college students.

If you're looking to add more storage for your bunk bed, search for a set that includes 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 serve as a unique space to hang art or decorate. Bunk beds with desks are ideal for bedrooms for children but they can also be useful in guest rooms or as the primary bedroom for older children and teens.

The color of your bunk bed could have a significant impact on the overall look of your room. For example a white bunk bed can provide an airy and light feeling while dark wood bunk beds gives a more traditional or rustic look. If you plan to use bunk beds in a shared children's bedroom pick a paint finish that will be a perfect match for your furniture pieces. Bunk beds are a great way to enhance the nautical theme.

For instance, a bunk bed with double beds with a neutral stone-colored finish can be easily updated with the addition of a few vibrant throw pillows in contrasting shades.

Safety

One of the most important factors to consider when purchasing bunk beds is safety. Bunk beds can be incredibly dangerous if they're not properly built or the kids do not follow the rules. You should take measurements of the space you're planning to put the bunk bed and then compare the dimensions of the frame with the measurements of the mattress. This will help ensure that your mattress is perfectly sized and that there is enough room for your child to get into and out of bed with no difficulties.

A key safety feature to look for is guard rails on the bottom and top bunks. They should be constructed of solid wood and securely fastened to the frame of the bunk. Any gaps, openings or holes in the frame of the bunk bed should also be small enough so that children's legs, heads or torsos cannot get stuck in the gaps. To prevent tripping hazards it is a good idea to ensure that any ladders and stairs used to climb up the bunk bed frame are either part or the frame itself.

Another important safety tip is to not let children under the age of six to sleep on the top bunk. The majority of bunk bed-related injuries occur to children younger than six years old, and more than half of these injuries are caused by falls. Additionally it's a good idea to set specific rules regarding the use of the bunk bed, and to emphasize that the top bunk is not for jumping, playing or for anything else.

It's important to make sure that no clothing belts, jump ropes hang from the frame of a bunk bed. These can be a serious strangulation hazard for children. You can purchase shelves that attach easily to the side and give your child somewhere to store their nighttime essentials, so they don't have to leave their bed at night to search for them.

Storage

Bunk beds allow two persons to sleep in the same room without consuming too much space on the floor. The upper bed is accessible via a ladder. This is perfect for siblings who share bedrooms or for family members living in small apartments.

quadruple sleeper bunk beds come in a variety of sizes and styles to fit in with any space. They can also be customized to fit the needs of the sleepers. If, for instance, one child likes sleeping on the top of the bunk and the other the bottom, the beds could be arranged in a way that they are facing each the other. This allows each person to have their own private space, but still be close to family members.

Another feature that a lot of bunk bed owners enjoy is the option of adding storage drawers underneath or trundles to their frames. These add-ons can be placed beneath the bunk bed to store clothes or blankets. They also offer extra space for sleepovers when guests visit.

Trundles are also available for bunk beds as pull-out mattresses. They can be accessed with a single step and are located under the bunk bed's bottom. This provides an additional sleeping space for guests who visit and eliminates the need for an air mattress.

Anyone considering buying a bunk bed should consider the safety features. You'll want to check for side rails on both the upper and lower bunks that help keep a child from falling off the top bunk. It is also important to consider the amount of mattress that can comfortably fit on the upper bunk. A mattress that is too thick could cause a child roll off the guard rails and hurt themselves.

Other safety options include the kind of ladder you select for your bunk bed. Certain bunk beds have a long ladder that connects the upper and lower guard rails, while others offer an easier ladder that connects to the front of the upper guard rail. This is the ideal option for children because it makes climbing up to the top bunk safer and easier.
