Size

Size is a key aspect to consider when choosing a double bunk bed. Many children grow rapidly and it is possible that you will need to buy a new bunk bed before they outgrow the current one. When you are choosing a bunk bed it is important to consider the kind of mattress.

The full-size bed measures 54 inches in width and 75 inches in length. A majority of these beds have the option of a trundle that can be pulled out from underneath the bed to create an additional sleeping space.

Some bunk bed sets include lofts with twin-sized beds that can be divided into separate beds. This is an excellent option for those who want to secure your bunk bed by separating the beds on the upper and lower sides separate, or if your children choose to swap rooms in the future.

There are also bunk beds without a foundation or box spring, because the frame elevates the mattress. This is an excellent option for families on a budget since it can save money and eliminates the necessity of a separate foundation or box spring.

Your choice of frame and 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 beds. Smaller rooms are better for twin over full or CITYLIGHT Full Over Full Bunk Beds with Stairs over twin layout.

Style

A bunk bed with a double mattress can accommodate adults or kids, depending on the configuration you choose. Standard bunk beds are stacked on the top of each other, with the top bed accessed via the ladder. This arrangement is great for rooms with limited space and helps make the room more useful. A futon bunk is an alternative option. It's designed to look like an ordinary bunk, but has a lower futon couch in Western style that can be transformed into bed. This bed is ideal for families with teens or college students. It can accommodate up to four people.

If you want to outfit your bunk bed with extra storage space, consider a set with stairs that incorporates drawers for clothing or other things. Some sets have a built in desk and a wooden panel on the side of the stairs, which can be used to hang wall decor or even art. Bunk beds that include desks are ideal for children's rooms, but can also be used as an additional bedroom or primary bedroom for older kids and teens.

The color of your bunk bed can affect the overall appearance of your room. A white bunk bed, for example can give the impression of lightness and airiness while a bunk bed constructed of dark wood gives an authentic or traditional style.

For instance, a bunk with double beds with a stone-colored, neutral finish can be easily updated by the addition of bright throw pillows in different shades.

Safety

Safety is an important aspect to consider when buying bunk beds. Bunk beds pose danger when they are not constructed correctly or if children do not follow the rules. It is important to take measurements of the space you intend 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 sized and there is enough space for your child to get in and out of bed without any problems.

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

Another safety tip to remember: Never let children under six years old sleep on the top bunk. The majority of injuries resulting from bunk beds happen to children younger than this age and more than half happen because of falls. Additionally it's recommended to establish clear rules for using the bunk bed and stress that the top bunk isn't for playing, jumping or anything else.

It is essential to ensure that no clothes belts, jump ropes are hanging off the frame of a bunk bed. They can pose a serious strangulation hazard for children. You can purchase clip on shelves that can be easily attached to the sides of the bed and provide your child a place to keep their essentials for the night so that they don't have to get out of bed to look for them in the dark.

Storage

Bunk beds allow two persons to sleep in the same room without consuming too much space on the floor. The upper bed is typically accessible via a ladder which is ideal for families with children sharing bedrooms, or for family members who live in tiny apartments.

Bunk beds come in a variety of sizes and styles to suit any room. They can be made to meet the needs of each person sleeping. For example, if one child prefers the top bed while the other prefers the bottom bunk The beds can be arranged to face each other. This lets each person have his or her personal space while having the comfort of being surrounded by family members.

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

In addition to drawers under the bed, trundles can also be added to bunk beds in the shape of mattresses that can be pulled out beneath the bottom bed and can be easily opened by a simple move. This gives you an additional sleeping space for guests who are visiting and eliminates the requirement for an air mattress.

Safety features are essential for anyone considering purchasing a bunk bed. It is important to look for side rails on the upper and lower bunks that help keep a child from falling off the top bunk. It is also important to think about how thick of a mattress you can comfortably fit on the top bunk, because a too thick mattress can cause a sleeping child to fall off the guard rails when asleep, causing injury to him or herself.

The type of ladder that you select for your bunk beds is another choice for safety. Some types of bunk beds have a long ladder that connects the upper and lower guard rails, whereas others have a shorter ladder that attaches to the front of the upper guard rail. This is perfect for children because it makes climbing to the top bunk more comfortable and safer.
