Size

Size is a major aspect to consider when looking for a double bunk bed. Children grow quickly, and you may need to buy a new bunk bed before they reach the size of the one they have. The kind of mattress you choose is also an essential consideration when picking the bunk bed.

The most popular bunk bed configuration is twin over twin. They have two beds of the same size that are stacked one on top of the other and are ideal for siblings sharing a room. Twin over twin bunks can be able to accommodate standard twin mattresses measuring 39 inches wide by 75 inches long. Think about twin XL mattresses in case you are looking for a more luxurious mattress. They're five inches bigger than normal twins and are ideal for teenagers, college youth and even adults.

Full-size mattresses are positioned on the bottom bunks of full-over-full bunk beds. This is ideal for adults and children who are taller. The full-size bed measures 54 inches wide and 75 inches in length. Many of these beds have a trundle that pulls out from under the bed, providing an additional sleeping space for guests.

Some bunk beds come with twin-sized lofts that can be broken down into separate standalone beds. This is a great option for those who want to secure your bunk bed by making the lower and upper beds separate, or if your children decide to swap rooms in the future.

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

The frame you select and the mattress will also be influenced by the number of guests who will be sleeping on your bunk beds. Larger rooms can accommodate triple bunk beds or L-shaped bunk beds. Smaller rooms are more suited to a twin over full over full bunk bed or full over twin arrangement.

Style

A bunk bed with a double mattress can accommodate adults or children, based on the configuration you choose. The standard bunk beds are stacked one over the other and the top bed accessible via ladder. This arrangement is ideal for rooms that are small, and makes the room more practical. Another option is a futon that is set up as a standard bunk, but features a lower Western-style futon couch that can be converted into bed. This bed is ideal for families with teenagers and college students. It can sleep four people.

If you're looking to add more storage space for your bunk bed, search for a set with drawers for clothes and other items. Some sets come with desks that are built-in as well as a wooden board along the side of the stairs, which can be used to hang wall decorations or art. Bunk beds that include a desk work well for bedrooms for children, but they can also be used as a guest bedroom or the main bedroom of older kids and teens.

The color of the bunk bed may also impact the overall look of your space. For instance white bunk beds can provide an airy and light feeling, while dark wood bunk beds gives a more traditional or rustic look. If you're planning to use the twin bunk bed in a bedroom shared by children, choose a paint color that complements the furniture. Bunk beds can be used to enhance a nautical theme as in this bedroom designed by Kirsten Brockner Interiors that features sea-inspired bedding, red and blue striped accents and a stairway suitable for a cabin of a captain.

Keep the design simple and neat when decorating a bunk bed with a double-sized bed. This will allow it to be easily adapted by your child as they grow older and their tastes change. For instance, a bunk bed with double beds that have a neutral stone-colored finish can be easily updated by the addition of a few colorful throw pillows with contrasting shades.

Safety

Safety is a key aspect to consider when buying a bunk bed. Bunk beds are dangerous in the event that they are not constructed properly or if the children don't adhere to the rules. You should determine the area you plan to place the bunk bed, and compare the dimensions of the frame with the measurements of the mattress. This will ensure that your mattress fits perfectly and there is enough space for your child to climb into and out of bed with no difficulties.

One of the most important safety features to look out for is guard rails on the top and bottom bunks. They should be made of solid piece of wood that is securely fastened to the frame of the bunk. Additionally, any gaps, holes or openings in the frame of a bunk bed need to be small enough to avoid children's heads, legs or torsos from being trapped in them. It's also an excellent idea to ensure that any ladders or stairs used to climb up and down the bunk bed are either part of the frame itself or are securely attached to it to prevent them from falling off and creating a tripping hazard.

Another important safety tip is to not allow children younger than six to sleep on the top bunk. The majority of injuries resulting from bunk beds occur to children younger than six years old, and more that half of them result from falls. Additionally, it's also a good idea to set clear rules for double bunk bed with trundle using the bunk bed and stress that the top bunk isn't for jumping, playing or for anything else.

It is essential to ensure that no clothing belts, belts, or jump ropes hang from the frame of the bunk bed. They can pose a serious strangulation hazard for children. You can buy clip-on shelves that attach easily to the side of the bed and provide your child a place to keep their night-time essentials so they don't need to get out of bed to find them in the dark.

Stores

Bunk beds allow two persons to share a room without taking up the space on the floor. The bed above can be reached via a ladder. This is perfect for siblings who share bedrooms or for family members who live in small apartments.

Bunk bed frames are available in a variety of sizes and shapes that can suit any room. They can even be adjusted to meet the preferences of the sleepers. If, for example, one child would prefer to sleep on the top bunk and the other on the bottom, the beds can be set up so that they are facing each one. This lets each child have their personal space while enjoying the comfort of being close to family members.

Many bunk bed owners like the option of adding under-bed storage drawers and trundles. These extras are placed under the lower bed and can be used to store blankets or clothing. These add-ons can also be used to create additional space for guests when they come to visit.

Besides under-bed drawers, trundles can also be added to bunk beds in the shape of mattresses that can be pulled out underneath the bottom bed and can be easily opened by a simple move. This can provide a comfortable spot for one additional sleeper when guests are visiting and does away with the requirement to take out an air mattress.

Anyone who is thinking of buying a bunk bed should consider the safety features. It is important to look for side rails on the lower and upper bunks to help keep a child from rolling off the top bunk. It is also important to consider how thick a mattress can comfortably fit on the upper bunk. A mattress that is too heavy may cause a child to slide off the railings and injure themselves.

Other safety options include the type of ladder you choose for your bunk bed. Some types of bunk beds have a lengthy ladder that connects the lower and upper guard rails, whereas other types have a shorter ladder that is attached to the front of the upper guard rail. This is the best option for children, as it makes climbing up to the top bunk safer and easier.
