Size

Size is a major aspect to take into account when shopping for a double bunk bed. Children grow rapidly and may outgrow a bunk bed prior to when you want to make another purchase. When selecting a bunkbed it is important to consider the kind of mattress.

The most common bunk bed configuration is twin over twin. These bunk beds are made up of two mattresses that are twin-sized and stacked on top of each other. They are ideal for children sharing bedrooms. Twin over twin bunks can be able to accommodate standard twin mattresses that are 39 inches wide by 75 inches long. If you're looking for a more luxurious option, consider twin XL bunk beds. These mattresses are five inches longer than the standard twins. They're great for teens, college students, and adults.

Some bunk bed sets have separate loft beds of twin size that can be separated into individual standalone beds. This is a great choice for those who want to secure your bunk bed by keeping the beds on the upper and lower sides separate, or if your children choose to swap rooms in the near future.

There are also bunk beds that don't require box springs or foundations because the frame elevates the mattress. This is an excellent option for families who are on a budget since it saves money and eliminates the necessity of a separate foundation or box spring.

Your choice of frame and 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 bunk beds. Smaller rooms are more suited to twin over full or full over twin arrangement.

Style

A bunk bed with a double mattress can be used by kids or adults, depending on the arrangement you select. The standard bunk beds are stacked one on top of each other, with the top bed accessible through a ladder. This arrangement is perfect for rooms with a little space and makes the room more functional. A futon bunk is another option. It's designed to look like a standard bunk, however it includes a lower futon couch in a Western style which can be converted into bed. The bunk bed can accommodate up to four people simultaneously and is a great choice for families with teens or college students.

If you're looking for extra storage for your bunk bed, look for a set with drawers for clothes and other things. Some sets come with a built in desk and a wooden panel on the sides of the stairs, which can be used to hang wall decorations or even art. Bunk beds with desks work well in bedrooms for children, but can also be used as an additional bedroom or principal bedroom for older children and teens.

The color of the bunk bed could affect the overall appearance of your room. For instance, a white bunk bed can give you a light and airy feel while dark wood bunk beds provides a more traditional rustic look. If you're considering using a twin bunk bed in a shared bedroom for children, choose a paint color that matches the other furniture.

Safety

Safety is an important consideration when purchasing a bunk bed. Bunk beds can be dangerous in the event that they are not constructed properly or if the children don't follow the rules. It's important that you take measurements of the space where you want to put it and then compare the dimensions of the frame against the measurements of your mattress. This will ensure that the mattress fits perfectly, and that your child is able to move into and out of the bed without any difficulties.

A key safety feature to look out for is guard rails both on the top and bottom bunks. These should be a 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 must be small enough to avoid children's legs, head or torsos from being caught in the gaps. To prevent tripping hazards it is a good idea to ensure that ladders and steps used to climb the bunk bed frame are either part or the frame itself.

Another safety tip to remember: Don't let children younger than six years old sleep on the top bunk. The majority of injuries resulting from bunk beds happen to children under this age, and more than half result from falls. In addition it's a good idea to set clear rules about using the bunk bed, and to emphasize that the top bunk is not to be used for playing, jumping or anything else.

It is essential to make sure that no clothing belts, jump ropes are hanging off the frame of a bunk bed. They could pose an extremely strangulation risk for children. You can buy shelves that attach easily to the side of the bed and provide your child somewhere to store their essentials for the night so that they don't have to leave their bed in the dark to find them.

Stores

Bunk beds are a great way to accommodate two people in a room without taking up too much space. The upper bed is typically accessible via a ladder which is perfect for families with children sharing bedrooms, or for family members who live in small apartment.

Bunk bed frames are available in a variety of sizes, shapes and styles that will fit in with any space. They can be adapted to meet the requirements of each sleeping individual. If, for instance, one child would prefer to sleep on the top bunk, and the other one on the bottom one, the beds can be arranged in a way that they face each other. This allows each person to have their own personal space, yet be surrounded by family members.

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

Trundles can also be found for bunk beds as pull-out mattresses. They can be accessed by just one step and are located beneath the bunk bed's bottom. This provides a comfortable place for one additional sleeping person when guests are in and eliminates the need to bring out an air mattress.

Anyone who is considering purchasing a Bunk Bed double on bottom bed must consider the safety features. Make sure there are side rails on the upper and lower bunks to prevent a child from falling off the top bunk. It is also important to think about the amount of mattress you can fit on the top bunk, because a too thick mattress could cause a sleeper to fall off of the guard rails in the middle of sleep and hurt him or herself.

Other safety options include the kind of ladder you select for your bunk bed. Certain types of bunk beds come with a long ladder that connects the upper and lower guard rails, whereas other types have an easier ladder that connects to the front of the upper guard rail. The latter is ideal for children as it makes climbing to the top bunk more comfortable and safer.
