Size

When shopping for a bunk bed with double bed size, size is a key factor to consider. Many children grow quickly and could outgrow a bunk bed before you want to make another purchase. When choosing a bunkbed you must also think about the type of mattress.

The most common bunk bed configuration is twin over twin. These bunk beds consist of two twin-sized mattresses stacked on top of each other. They're ideal for siblings sharing in a bedroom. Twin over twin bunks can accommodate normal twin mattresses that measure 39 inches wide and 75 inches long. If you're looking for a more extravagant option, look into twin XL bunk beds. These mattresses are five inches larger than the normal twins. They're great for teens, 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 mattress is 54 inches wide and 75 inches long. A lot of these beds feature a trundle that can be pulled out from under the lower mattress, providing an additional sleeping space for guests.

Some bunk bed sets have loft beds that are twin-sized and can be separated into individual separate beds. This is a great choice for those who want to secure the quadruple bunk beds bed by separating the upper and lower beds or if your kids decide to move rooms in the near future.

There are bunk beds that don't require a box spring or foundation, as the frame of these beds elevates the mattress. This is a great option for families on a budget as it saves money and eliminates the requirement for a separate foundation or box spring.

The frame you select and the mattress will also be influenced by the number of people who will be sleeping on your bunk beds. Larger rooms can accommodate triple, L-shaped, or trundle bunk beds while smaller rooms are better suited for twin over full or twin over full arrangement.

Style

Depending on the configuration bunk beds with double 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 via the ladder. This arrangement is great for rooms with a little space and makes the space more practical. Another option is a futon bunk, which is arranged like a standard bunk but has an asymmetrical futon couch that can be converted into beds. The bunk bed can accommodate up to four people at once and is a great option for families with teens or college students.

If you want to outfit your bunk bed with additional storage space, consider a set with stairs that have drawers to store clothing or other items. Some sets include desks that are built-in and a wooden panel along the bottom of the stairs, which can be used to hang wall decor or art. Bunk beds with desks are great for children's bedrooms however, they be used in a guest room or as the principal bedroom for older kids and teenagers.

The color of the bunk bed could affect the overall appearance of your room. For instance white bunk beds will give an airy and light feeling and a dark wood bunk bed provides a more traditional rustic vibe. If you're planning to put up the twin bunk bed in a shared bedroom for kids, choose a paint shade that is in harmony with the other furniture. Bunk beds can be used to enhance the nautical theme, as seen in this bedroom designed by Kirsten Brockner Interiors, which features seashore-inspired bedding, blue and red stripes and a stairway fit for a captain's cabin.

When decorating a bunk bed with a double bed make sure to keep the style simple and clean, so that it can be easily adapted as your child grows older and their preferences change. For example, a bunk bed with double beds that have a neutral stone-colored finish can be easily updated by the addition of vibrant throw pillows in contrasting shades.

Safety

Safety is a major consideration when purchasing a bunk bed. Bunk beds pose danger when they are not constructed correctly or if children do not adhere to the rules. It is essential to take measurements of the space where you want to put it and then compare the dimensions of the frame carefully against the dimensions of your mattress. This will ensure that the mattress is perfectly fitted and your child will be able to get in and out of the bed without issues.

Guard rails are a crucial security feature. They should be located on the top and bottom bunks. They should be made of solid wood that is securely attached to the frame of the bunk. Any gaps, openings, or holes on the frame of the bunk bed must be small enough that children's heads, legs or torsos cannot get caught in them. It's also recommended to make sure that any ladders or steps used to climb up and down the bunk bed are either part of the frame itself or that they're securely fastened to it to prevent them from coming loose and creating the risk of tripping.

Another important safety rule is to never allow children under the age of six to sleep on the top bunk. The majority of injuries resulting from bunk beds happen to children under six years old, and more that half of them result from falls. It is a good idea also, to establish clear rules for the use of the bunk bed, and to stress that the top bunk shouldn't be used for jumping, playing or anything else.

Finally, it's recommended to ensure that no belts, clothing or jump ropes hang from the frame of the bunk bed as they could pose serious strangulation hazards for children. You can buy clip-on shelves that secure easily to the side of the bunk and give your child a place to keep their night time essentials so they don't have to get out of bed to find them in the dark.

Storage

Bunk beds allow two persons to sleep in a space without taking up the space. The upper bed is typically accessible via a ladder which is perfect for children sharing the bedroom, or for family members who live in small apartment.

Bunk bed frames come in different sizes, shapes and styles that can be adapted to any space. They can also be adjusted to meet the preferences of the people sleeping. If, for example, one child would prefer to sleep on the top of the bunk and the other one on the bottom one, the beds can be set up so that they face each one. This allows for each person to have their own personal space, while still being surrounded by family members.

Many owners of bunk beds enjoy the option to add under-bed storage drawers and trundles. These are positioned under the lower bed and can be used to store blankets or clothing. They also provide extra room for sleepovers during visits from guests.

Besides under-bed drawers, trundles can be added to bunk beds in the shape of pull-out mattresses that are placed under the bed's bottom and are accessible by a simple move. This can provide a comfortable spot for one extra sleeper when guests are visiting and eliminates the need to pull out an air mattress.

Safety features are essential for anyone who is considering buying bunk beds. It is important to look for side rails on the upper and lower bunks that prevent children from rolling off the top bunk. It's also important to think about how thick a mattress can comfortably fit on the upper bunk. Too thick a mattress could cause a child slide off the railings and hurt themselves.

The type of ladder that you select for your bunk beds is another choice for safety. Some bunk beds have a long ladder connecting the lower and upper rails. Some have a shorter ladder attached to the front of upper guard rail. This is the best option for bunk beds for kids children, as it makes climbing up to the top bunk safer and more comfortable.
