Size

Size is a key aspect to take into account when choosing a double bunk bed. Many children grow rapidly and it is possible that you will need to purchase a brand new bunk bed prior to them outgrowing the one you have. When selecting a bunkbed you must also think about the type of mattress.

The most popular 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 accommodate standard twin mattresses, which are 39 inches wide and 75 inches long. If you're seeking a more extravagant option, look into twin XL bunk beds. 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 perfect for kids and adults who are taller. The full-size bed measures 54 inches wide and 75 inches in length. Many of these beds come with the trundle, which can be removed from under the lower bed to provide additional sleeping space.

Some bunk bed sets have loft beds that are twin-sized and can be separated into standalone beds. This is a great option if you wish to future-proof the bunk bed by separating the lower and upper beds or if your kids decide to move rooms in the near future.

There are bunk beds without the need for a foundation or box spring because the frame elevates the mattress. This is a great choice for families who are on an extremely tight budget, since it does away with the necessity for foundations or box springs.

The frame you choose and the mattress will also be influenced by the number of guests who will sleep on your bunk beds. Larger rooms can accommodate triple bunk beds or L-shaped bunk beds. Smaller rooms are more suitable for a twin over full or full over twin layout.

Style

Based on the configuration, a bunk bed that has two mattresses can be used by children or adults. Standard bunk beds are placed on the top of each other, with the top bed accessed via the ladder. This arrangement is great for rooms with limited space, and makes the room more practical. A futon bunk is a different option. It is arranged as a standard bunk, however it is a futon sofa lower with a Western style which 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 want to outfit your bunk bed with extra storage, you should look for a set with stairs that incorporates drawers to store clothing or other things. Some sets come with an integrated desk and a wooden panel on the sides of the stairs, which can be used to hang wall decor or art. Bunk beds that include desks work well in children's rooms, but can also be used as a guest bedroom or the primary bedroom for older kids and teens.

The color of your bunk bed may have a significant impact on the overall look of your room. A white bunk bed, for instance can give the impression of airiness and lightness, while a bed made from dark wood will give an old-fashioned or rustic style. If you're planning to use the twin bunk bed in a shared bedroom for kids make sure you pick a paint color that complements the furniture. Bunk beds can be used to complement a nautical theme, as seen in this bedroom from Kirsten Brockner Interiors that features sea-inspired bedding, blue and red striped accents and a stairway that is suitable for a captain's cabin.

Keep the style simple and neat when decorating a bunk that has an extra-large bed. This allows it to be easily altered by your child as they grow older and their preferences change. For instance, a bunk with double bed bunk bed beds with a stone-colored, neutral finish can be easily updated by the addition of colorful throw pillows with contrasting shades.

Safety

One of the biggest considerations when buying a bunk bed is safety. Bunk beds pose danger in the event that they are not constructed properly or if children don't follow the rules. You should measure the space where you plan to place the bunk bed and compare the dimensions of the frame with the measurements of the mattress. This will ensure that the mattress fits perfectly and that your child is able to move into and out of the bed with no difficulties.

A key safety feature to look out for is guard rails both on the top and bottom bunks. These should be a solid wood that is securely attached to the frame of the doubke bunk Bed. 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 aren't trapped in the gaps. It's also a good idea to ensure that any ladders or stairs used to climb up and down the bunk bed are either part of the frame or that they're securely secured to it to avoid them coming loose and creating a tripping hazard.

Another important safety tip is to Do not let children less than six years old sleep on the top bunk. The majority of bunk bed-related injuries occur to children who are less than six years old, and more than half of these injuries are caused by falls. Additionally it's an excellent idea to establish clear rules about using the bunk bed, and to emphasize that the top bunk is not for jumping, playing or anything else.

Also, it's a good idea to ensure that no belts, clothes or jump ropes are hanging off the frame of the bunk bed because they could pose serious strangulation risks to children. You can purchase shelves that attach easily to the side of the bed and provide your child somewhere to store their night-time necessities, so they don't have to leave their bed at night to search for them.

Storage

Bunk beds allow two people to sleep in a room without taking up too much floor space. The upper bed is usually accessible via a ladder, which is great for children sharing the bedroom, or for family members who live in tiny apartments.

Bunk beds are available in a variety of sizes, styles and shapes to fit into any space. They can be customized to meet the requirements of each person sleeping. For instance, if one child prefers the top bed while the other prefers the bottom quadruple bunk beds and the beds can be arranged to face each the other. This lets each person have their privacy while enjoying the comfort of being surrounded by loved ones.

Another feature that many homeowners of bunk beds enjoy is the option of adding under-bed storage drawers or trundles to their frames. These are positioned under the lower bed and can be used to store blankets or doubke bunk bed clothing. They also provide extra room for sleepovers when guests visit.

Apart from drawers for under-bed storage Trundles can be affixed to bunk beds in the form of pull-out mattresses that are placed under the bed's bottom and are accessible by a simple move. This provides an additional sleeping space when guests come over and eliminates the need for an air mattress.

Anyone considering buying a bunk bed should consider the safety features. Be sure to check for side rails on the lower and upper bunks to stop the child from falling off the top bunk. It is also important to think about the amount of mattress you can fit on the top bunk, as too thick of a mattress can cause a sleeper to fall off of the rails that guard them while asleep and hurt himself or herself.

Other safety options include the kind of ladder you pick for your bunk bed. Certain types of bunk beds come with a long ladder that connects the upper and lower guard rails, whereas other types have a shorter ladder that is attached to the front of the upper guard rail. This is ideal for children as it makes climbing to the top bunk simpler and safer.
