Size

Size is a major factor to consider when looking for a double bunk bed. Children grow quickly and may require you to purchase a brand new bunk bed prior to them outgrowing the current one. When selecting a bunkbed you must also think about the type of mattress.

Twin over twin bunk beds are the most popular bunk bed configurations. They are made up of two twin beds that are stacked on top of each other and are ideal for siblings sharing rooms. Twin over twin bunks are able to accommodate standard twin mattresses, which are 39 inches wide and 75 inches long. Think about twin XL mattresses if desire a more luxurious bed. These mattresses are five inches taller than the standard twins. They're great 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 ideal 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 a trundle that can be pulled out from under the lower bed, allowing for an additional sleeping space for guests.

Some bunk bed sets feature separate twin-sized loft beds that can be separated into individual standalone beds. This is a great option when you want to ensure the future of the bunk bed by segregating the lower and upper beds or if your children decide to switch rooms in the future.

There are bunk beds that don't require a box spring or foundation, as the frame of these bunks raises the mattress. This is an excellent option for families with an extremely tight budget, since it removes the necessity for foundations or box springs.

The number of people who have to sleep with on your bunk bed will also influence your choice of frame and mattress. Larger rooms can accommodate triple bunk beds or l shaped double bunks-shaped beds. Smaller rooms are more suited to a twin over full or full over twin arrangement.

Style

Depending on the configuration a bunk bed with double mattresses can be used by children or adults. The standard bunk beds are stacked on the top of each other, with the top bed accessed via an incline. This arrangement is ideal for rooms with a limited space, and makes the room more useful. Another option is a futon bunk, which is arranged like a standard bed, but features the futon couch in a lower Western style that converts to beds. The bunk bed can accommodate up to four people at a time and is an excellent choice for families with teens 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 an integrated desk and a wooden panel along the bottom of the stairs that can be used to hang wall decorations or even art. Bunk beds with desks are great for children's bedrooms, but they can also be useful in a guest room or as a main bedroom for older kids and teens.

The color of the bunk bed can influence the overall style of your space. A white bunk bed, for instance will give a sense of lightness and airiness while a bunk bed constructed of dark wood gives an old-fashioned or rustic feel. If you're planning to install a bunk bed in a shared children's bedroom pick a paint finish that will complement your other furniture pieces. Bunk beds can be used to add the theme of nautical as in this bedroom designed by Kirsten Brockner Interiors that features sea-inspired bedding, red and blue stripes, and a staircase fit for a captain's cabin.

Keep the style simple and neat when decorating a bunk bed with the size of a double bed. This will allow it to be easily adapted by your child as they grow and their preferences change. For instance, a bunk with a double bed that features an unassuming stone-colored finish could be easily updated by the addition of a few colorful throw pillows with contrasting shades.

Safety

Safety is a key consideration when purchasing bunk beds. Bunk beds can be dangerous in the event that they are not constructed properly or if children do not follow the rules. You must measure the space where you're planning to put the bunk bed, and compare the dimensions of the frame to the measurements of the mattress. This will ensure that the mattress is perfectly fitted and that your child can be able to get into and out of the bed without difficulties.

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 from solid wood and secured securely to the frame. Any gaps, openings or holes in the frame of the bunk bed must also be small enough so that children's heads, legs or torsos cannot get caught in them. It's also recommended to ensure that any ladders or stairs used to climb up and down the bunk bed are part of the frame or that they're securely fastened to it, to avoid them becoming loose and causing a tripping hazard.

Another important safety rule is to not allow children under the age of six to sleep on the top bunk. The majority of injuries resulting from bunk beds occur to children who are less than six years old, and more that half of them result from falls. In addition to that, it's also 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 jumping, playing or anything else.

Finally, it's a good idea to ensure that no clothes, belts or jump ropes hang from the frame of the bunk bed because these can pose serious strangulation risks to children. You can purchase shelves that can be easily clipped to the sides and give your child a place to store their nighttime essentials so that they don't have to leave their bed in the dark to search for them.

Stores

Bunk beds are a great option to accommodate two people in a room and not take up too much space. The upper bed is typically accessible via a ladder, which is great for children sharing the bedroom, or for family members who live in small apartments.

Bunk bed frames come in different sizes and shapes that will fit in with any space. They can be made to meet the needs of each person sleeping. For instance, if one child prefers the top bed and the other wants the bottom bunk The beds can be arranged to make them face each other. This allows each child to have their own private space, yet be close to family members.

Another benefit that many bunk bed owners enjoy is the option of adding under-bed storage drawers or trundles to their frame. These add-ons are stationed underneath the lower bed and can be used to hold blankets or clothing. These add-ons can also serve to provide extra space for guests to come to visit.

Trundles can also be found for bunk beds as pull-out mattresses. These mattresses can be accessed by a single step and are located under the bunk bed's bottom. This provides an additional sleeping space when guests are visiting and eliminates the requirement for an air mattress.

Safety features are essential for anyone thinking of buying a bunk bed. It is important to look for side rails on the lower and upper bunks that will stop a child from rolling off the top bunk. It's also important to take into consideration the thickness of a mattress you can comfortably fit on the upper bunk as a thick mattress can cause a sleeper to roll off of the rails that guard them while asleep and hurt himself or herself.

The type of ladder that you choose for your bunk beds is another safety option. Certain bunk beds have a lengthy ladder that connects the upper and lower guard rails, whereas others have an easier ladder that connects to the front of the upper guard rail. This is the most suitable option for children because it makes climbing to the top bunk safer and easier.
