Size

Size is a major aspect to consider when shopping for a double bunk bed. Many children grow rapidly and it is possible that you will need to purchase a new bunk bed before they reach the size of the one you have. When choosing a bunkbed you must also think about the kind of mattress.

You can consider twin XL mattresses if you desire a more luxurious bed. These mattresses are five inches longer than the normal twins. They're great for teens as well as college students and adults.

The full-size bed is 54 inches in width and 75 inches in length. Many of these beds have a trundle that pulls out from under the lower mattress, providing an additional sleeping space for guests.

Some bunk beds have lofts that are twin-sized and can be divided into separate beds. This is a great choice for those who want to secure your bunk bed by separating the lower and upper beds separate, or if your children decide to switch rooms in the near future.

You can also find 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 who are on budget as it removes the need for foundations or box springs.

The number of people who must sleep with on your bunk bed will also affect the choice of frame and mattress. Larger rooms can accommodate triple bunk beds or L-shaped bunk beds. Smaller rooms are better for twin over full or full over twin layout.

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 accessible via an incline. This arrangement is great for rooms with limited space and makes the space more practical. Another option is a futon bunk that is designed to look like a standard bunk but with an asymmetrical futon couch that converts to bed. This bunk bed is perfect for families with teens and college students. It can accommodate up to four people.

If you're looking to add more storage space for your bunk bed, search for a set that has drawers for clothing and other items. Some sets also include an integrated desk and wooden panel on the side of the stairs which can be used as a unique spot to hang wall art or other decor. Bunk beds with desks are ideal for bedrooms for children, but they can also work well in guest rooms or as the main bedroom for older kids and teenagers.

The color of the bunk bed may also impact the overall look of your space. For instance a white bunk bed can provide a light and airy feel while dark wood bunk beds creates a more traditional or rustic vibe. If you're planning to use a twin bunk bed within a bedroom shared by children make sure you pick a paint shade that is in harmony with the furniture.

Safety

Safety is a key aspect to consider when buying bunk beds. Bunk beds are dangerous in the event that they are not constructed properly or if the children don't follow the rules. You should measure the space where you plan to place the bunk bed and compare the dimensions of the frame with the measurements of the mattress. This will help ensure that your mattress is perfectly sized and that there is enough clearance for your child to get in and out of bed without any issues.

Guard rails are a key safety feature. They should be placed on the top and bottom bunks. These rails must be constructed from solid wood and secured securely to the frame. Any gaps, openings or holes in the frame of the bunk bed must be sized so that children's legs, heads or torsos don't get stuck in the gaps. It's also an excellent idea to ensure that any stairs or ladders used to climb up and down the bunk bed are part of the frame itself or that they're securely secured to it, to avoid them falling off and creating an accident 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 happen to children younger than this age and more than half of them occur due to falls. Additionally it's an excellent idea to establish specific rules regarding the use of the bunk bed and stress that the top bunk is not to be used for playing, jumping or anything else.

Finally, it's a good idea to ensure that no belts, clothes or jump ropes hang from the frame of the bunk bed as they could pose serious strangulation hazards for children. You can buy shelves that clip easily to the sides and give your child somewhere to store their essentials for the night so that they don't have to get out of bed in the dark to search for them.

Storage

Bunk beds allow two persons to sleep in the same room without taking up too much floor space. The bed above can be reached via the ladder. This is perfect for siblings who share the bedroom or for family members who live in small apartment.

Bunk bed frames are available in different sizes shapes and styles that will fit in with any space. They can also be customized to fit the needs of the sleepers. For example that if one child would prefer the top bed and the other wants the bottom bunk and the beds can be set up to make them face each one. This allows each child to have their own private space, yet be close to family members.

Another feature that many homeowners of bunk beds enjoy is the possibility of adding storage drawers underneath or trundles to their frames. These are positioned underneath the lower bed and can be used to hold clothing or blankets. These add-ons can also be used to provide additional space for guests to come to visit.

In addition to drawers under the bed Trundles can be affixed to bunk beds in the form of pull-out mattresses that lie beneath the bottom bed and are easily accessed by a simple move. This gives you an additional sleeping space for guests who visit and eliminates the need for an air mattress.

Safety features are a must for anyone considering purchasing bunk beds. Be sure to check for side rails on the lower and upper bunks to keep the child from falling off the top bunk. It's also important to consider the amount of mattress you can comfortably fit on the top bunk, as too thick of a mattress could cause a sleeper to fall off of the guard rails when asleep, causing injury to him or herself.

The kind of ladder you choose for your bunk beds is an additional security option. Certain types of bunk beds come with a long ladder that connects the lower and upper guard rails, whereas others offer a shorter ladder that attaches to the front of the upper guard rail. This is perfect for children as it makes the climb to the top bunk easier and safer.
