Size

When shopping for a bunk bed that has a double bed the size is a crucial factor to consider. Many children grow quickly and could outgrow a bunk bed before you are ready to make another purchase. When you are choosing a bunk bed you must also think about the kind of mattress.

Twin over twin bunk beds are the most popular bunk bed configurations. They have two beds of the same size placed one on top of the other and are great for siblings who share rooms. Twin over twin bunks can accommodate the standard twin mattresses that are 39 inches wide and 75 inches long. You can consider twin XL mattresses if you desire a more luxurious bed. These mattresses are five inches longer than normal twins. They're great for teens as well as college students and adults.

The full-size bed measures 54 inches in width and 75 inches in length. A majority of these beds come with a trundle that pulls out from under the mattress, providing an additional sleeping space for guests.

There are bunk beds double on bottom beds that do not require a box spring or foundation as the frame of these bunks raises the mattress. This is a great choice for families on a budget since it saves money and eliminates the necessity of an additional foundation or box spring.

The frame you choose and the mattress will also be influenced by the number of guests who will be sleeping on your bunk beds. Larger bedrooms can accommodate triple, l shape double bunk bed-shaped, or trundle bunk beds, while smaller rooms are better suited for twin over twin or full over full layout.

Style

Depending on the configuration, a bunk bed that has two mattresses can be able to accommodate children or adults. Standard bunk beds are stacked on the top of each other, with the top bed accessible by a ladder. This arrangement is great for rooms that have little space and makes the space more useful. Another option is a futon bunk, which is arranged like a standard bunk but has a lower Western-style futon couch that converts to bed. This bed is ideal for families with teens or college students. It can accommodate up to four people.

If you're looking to furnish your bunk bed with additional storage space, consider an item with drawers to store clothing or other items. Some sets come with an integrated desk and wooden panel at the end of the stairs that can be used as a unique place to hang artwork or other decor. Bunk beds that have desks are ideal for children's rooms, but can also be used as an extra bedroom for guests or as the primary bedroom for older kids and teenagers.

The color of your bunk bed may affect the overall appearance of your room. A white bunk bed, for instance can give the impression of lightness and airiness, while a bunk bed constructed from dark wood will give an authentic or traditional vibe. If you're planning to use a twin bunk bed in a shared bedroom for kids make sure you pick a paint shade that is in harmony with the other furniture.

Safety

One of the main factors to consider when purchasing bunk beds is safety. Bunk beds can be extremely dangerous if they're poorly constructed or if kids don't follow the rules. It's important that you determine the area you'd like to put it and compare the dimensions of the frame against the measurements of your mattress. This will ensure that the mattress fits perfectly and that your child is able to be able to get into and out of the bed with no difficulties.

Guard rails are a key security feature. They should be located on the top and bottom bunks. These should be a solid wood and securely fastened to the frame of the bunk. Also any gaps, holes or openings in the frame of a bunk bed should be small enough to prevent children's legs, head or torsos from being caught in the gaps. To avoid tripping hazards it is a good idea to ensure that ladders and stairs used to climb the bunk bed frame are either part or the frame itself.

Another important safety tip: Do not let children less than six years old sleep on the top bunk. Most injuries related to bunk beds occur to children younger than this age, and more than half of them result from falls. In addition to that it's an excellent idea to establish specific rules regarding the use of the bunk bed and make it clear that the top bunk isn't for playing, jumping or for anything else.

Also, it's an excellent idea to ensure that no belts, clothes or jump ropes are hanging off the frame of the bunk bed as they could pose serious strangulation dangers to children. You can buy shelves that can be easily clipped to the side of the bed and provide your child a place to keep their essentials for the night and not have to get out of bed in the dark to search for them.

Storage

Bunk beds are a great way to accommodate two people in one room, without taking up too much space. The upper bed is typically accessible via a ladder which is perfect for siblings sharing a bedroom, or family members who live in tiny apartment.

Bunk bed frames are available in different sizes, shapes and styles that can suit any room. They can be even customized to fit the needs of the sleeping individuals. For instance, if one child prefers to sleep on the top bunk, and the other one on the bottom, the beds could be set up so that they face each one. This allows each person to have his or her own private space while still enjoying the comfort of being close to loved ones.

Another feature that many people who own bunk beds appreciate is the possibility of adding under-bed storage drawers or trundles to their frame. These accessories can be put beneath the bunk bed to store clothes or blankets. These add-ons can also be used to create additional space for guests to visit.

Trundles are also available for bunk beds as pull-out mattresses. These mattresses can be accessed with just one step and are located beneath the bunk bed's bottom. This creates a cozy space for a second sleeping person when guests are in and does away with the requirement to take out an air mattress.

Anyone who is considering purchasing a bunk bed must consider the safety features. It is important to look for side rails on both the upper and lower bunks that will stop a child from rolling off the top bunk. It's also important to think about how thick a mattress can be comfortably fitted on the upper bunk. A mattress that is too thick may cause a child to fall off the guard rails and hurt themselves.

The type of ladder that you choose for your bunk beds is another security option. Some bunk beds have a long ladder connecting the lower and upper rails. Some have a shorter ladder that is attached to the front of upper guard rail. This is perfect for children since it makes the climb to the top bunk easier and safer.
