Look for sturdy guard rails that prevent children from falling over or being caught between the mattresses.

This solid wood bunk bed is certified Greenguard Gold and can be divided into two separate beds. It also features stairs wide enough to accommodate teenagers and adults.

Size

When looking for a bunk bed with double beds, size is an important aspect to consider. Children grow rapidly and could outgrow a bunk bed before you're ready to make a new purchase. When you are choosing a bunk bed, you should also consider the kind of mattress.

The most common bunk bed configuration is twin over twin. They are made up of two twin beds stacked one on top of the other, and are perfect for siblings who share rooms. Twin over twin bunks accommodate the standard twin mattresses that are 39 inches wide and 75 inches long. Think about twin XL mattresses if you want a more luxurious mattress. These mattresses are five inches larger than the standard twins. They are ideal for teenagers as well as college students and adults.

Full-size mattresses are positioned on the bottom bunk of full-over-full bunk beds. This is ideal for kids and adults who are taller. The full-size bed measures 54 inches in width and 75 inches in length. A majority of these beds have a trundle, which can be removed from under the bed to provide more sleeping space.

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

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

The frame you choose and the mattress will also be affected by the number of people who will be sleeping on your bunk beds. Larger rooms can accommodate triple bunk beds or L-shaped beds. Smaller rooms are better for twin over full or full over twin layout.

Style

Depending on the configuration, a bunk bed with double top bunk bed mattresses can be used by children or adults. Standard bunk beds are stacked on top of each other with the top bed accessed via the ladder. This arrangement is ideal for rooms that are small and makes the space more practical. Another alternative is a futon bunk, which is arranged like a standard bed, but with a lower Western-style futon couch that converts to a bed. The bunk bed can accommodate up to four people at a time and is a great option for families with teenagers or college students.

If you're looking for additional storage for your bunk bed, look for a set with drawers for clothing and other items. Some sets come with desks that are built-in and a wooden panel at the end of the stairs which can be used as a unique place to hang art or decor. Bunk beds with desks are ideal for bedrooms for children, but they can also be used as a guest bedroom or the primary bedroom for older kids and teenagers.

The color of the bunk bed may influence the overall style of your room. A white bunk bed, for instance, can create a feeling of lightness and airiness while a bunk bed made of dark wood gives an old-fashioned or rustic feel. If you plan to use bunk beds in a shared children's bedroom choose the right paint finish that will match your furniture pieces. Bunk beds are an excellent way to enhance the nautical theme.

Keep the style simple and neat when decorating a bunk that has a 2 double bunk beds-sized bed. This will allow it to be easily modified by your child as they grow and their preferences change. For example, a bunk bed 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 aspect to consider when buying a bunk bed. Bunk beds can be incredibly dangerous if they're not properly constructed or if the kids don't follow the rules. You should measure the space where you plan to place the bunk bed and then compare the dimensions of the frame with the dimensions of the mattress. This will ensure that the mattress is a perfect fit and that there is enough clearance for your child to climb into and out of bed without any problems.

One of the most important safety features to look out for is guard rails on the top and bottom bunks. They should be constructed of solid wood that is securely attached to the frame of the bunk. Also any holes, gaps or openings on the frame of a bunk bed should be small enough to prevent children's legs, head or torso from getting trapped in them. To avoid tripping hazards it's a good idea ensure that ladders and stairs used to climb the bunk bed frame are either part or the frame itself.

Another crucial safety tip is to never allow children younger than six to sleep on the top bunk. Most bunk bed-related injuries occur to children under this age and more than half of them occur due to falls. It's a good idea, also, to establish clear rules for bunk bed with double the use of the bunk bed, and to emphasize that the top bunk shouldn't be used for bouncing or playing.

It's also an excellent idea to ensure that no belts, clothing or jump ropes hang from the frame of the bunk bed as they can be strangulation hazards for children. You can buy clip on shelves that attach easily to the side of the bunk. They will give your child a space to store their night-time essentials so they don't have to get up from bed to find them in the dark.

Stores

Bunk beds permit two people to sleep in the same space without taking up the space on the floor. The upper bed is typically accessible via a ladder, which is perfect for families with children sharing the bedroom, or for family members living in small apartments.

Bunk beds come in many sizes, styles and shapes to fit into any space. They can also be adjusted to meet the preferences of the sleeping individuals. For example for instance, if one child likes the top bunk while the other wants the bottom bunk and the beds can be configured so that they face each the other. This allows each person to have their own personal space, while still being within the family.

Many bunk bed owners also like the option of adding under-bed storage drawers and trundles. These add-ons are stationed beneath the bed's lower section and can be used to store blankets or clothing. These add-ons can also serve to provide extra space for guests to visit.

Trundles are also available for bunk beds as pull-out mattresses. They are accessible via a single step and are located beneath the bunk bed's bottom. This allows for an additional sleeping space for guests who visit and eliminates the need for an air mattress.

Safety features are essential for anyone considering purchasing a bunk bed. Check for side rails in the lower and upper bunks to prevent a child from falling off the top bunk. It's also important to consider how thick of a mattress you can comfortably place on the top bunk, as too thick of a mattress could cause a sleeper to fall off the guard rails when asleep, causing injury to him or herself.

The kind of ladder you choose for your bunk beds is another safety option. Some bunk beds feature a ladder that is long and connects the lower and upper rails. Others have a shorter ladder that is attached to the front of upper guard rails. This is perfect for children as it makes climbing to the top bunk more comfortable and safer.
