Size

When looking for a bunk bed that comes with a double bed, size is an important aspect to consider. Many children grow quickly and could outgrow a bunk bed before you're ready to make a new purchase. When selecting a bunkbed it is important to consider the type of mattress.

The most popular bunk bed configuration is twin over twin. They have two beds of the same size that are stacked one on top of the other and are ideal for siblings who share the same room. Twin over twin bunks can be able to accommodate standard twin mattresses measuring 39 inches wide and 75 inches long. Think about twin XL mattresses in case you are looking for a more luxurious mattress. These are five inches longer than standard twins and work well for teenagers, college youth and even adults.

Full-size mattresses are placed on the bottom bunk of full-over-full beds. This is perfect for children and adults who are taller. The full-size mattress is 54 inches wide and 75 inches long. A majority of these beds come with a trundle, which can be pulled out from underneath the bed to create additional sleeping space.

Some bunk beds come with separate twin-sized loft beds that can be separated into individual standalone beds. This is a great choice when you want to ensure the future of the bunk bed by segregating the beds into lower and upper or if your children decide to switch rooms in the near future.

You can also find bunk beds that don't need foundation or box springs because the frame of these bunks elevates the mattress. This is an excellent option for families with a tight budget since it saves money and eliminates the requirement for an additional foundation or box spring.

The number of people you must sleep with on your bunk bed will affect the choice of frame and mattress. Larger rooms can accommodate triple, L-shaped, or trundle bunk beds smaller rooms are suitable for twin over twin or full over full layout.

Style

A bunk bed with a double mattress can be used by adults or kids, depending on the layout you select. The standard bunk beds are stacked on the top of each other, with the top bed accessible via an incline. This arrangement is perfect for rooms with a limited space, and makes the room more functional. A futon bunk is a different option. It's designed to look like a standard bunk, however it includes a lower futon couch with a Western style that can be transformed into an actual bed. This bunk bed is perfect for families with teens and college students. It can sleep four people.

If you're looking to outfit your bunk bed with extra storage space, consider sets that have stairs with drawers for clothing or other things. Some sets include desks that are built-in and a wooden panel along the sides of the stairs that can be used to hang wall decorations or art. Bunk beds with desks are great for children's bedrooms, but they can be used in guest rooms or as a primary bedroom for older children and teens.

The color of the bunk bed may influence the overall style of your space. A white bunk quadruple bed, for instance can give the impression of airiness and lightness, while a bed made from dark wood will give an authentic or traditional vibe. If you're considering using a twin bunk bed within a shared bedroom for children make sure you pick a paint color that matches the other furniture. Bunk beds can be used to enhance the theme of nautical like this bedroom from Kirsten Brockner Interiors that features sea-inspired bedding, red and blue stripes and a stairway suitable for a cabin of a captain.

Keep the style simple and neat when decorating a 4 bunk bed set bed with an extra-large bed. This will allow it to be easily modified by your child as they grow and their preferences change. For instance, a bunk bed with double beds that have an unassuming stone-colored finish could be easily updated with the addition of colorful throw pillows with contrasting shades.

Safety

Safety is a major aspect to consider when buying bunk beds. Bunk beds can be incredibly dangerous if they're not properly constructed or if kids do not follow the rules. You must determine the area you're planning to put the bunk bed and then compare the dimensions of the frame to the measurements of the mattress. This will ensure that your mattress is a perfect fit and that there is enough room for your child to get into and out of bed without issues.

Guard rails are a key security feature. They should be located on the top and bottom bunks. The rails that guard the bed should be made from solid wood and secured securely to the frame. Also any holes, gaps or openings in the frame of a bunk bed need to be small enough to keep children's legs, head or torsos from getting caught in them. To avoid tripping hazards, it is a good idea to make sure that any ladders or steps used to climb the frame of the bunk bed are part of the frame or are a part of it.

Another safety tip to remember: Never let children under six years old sleep on the top bunk. Most bunk bed-related injuries occur to children under this age and more than half of them happen because of falls. It's a good idea, too, to establish clear rules for using the bunk bed, and to emphasize that the top bunk should not be used for jumping or playing.

It is crucial to ensure that no clothing belts, belts, or jump ropes hang off the frame of a bunk bed. These can be an extremely strangulation risk for children. You can purchase clip on shelves that secure easily to the sides of the bed and provide your child a place to keep their essentials for the night so that they don't need to get up from bed to find them in the dark.

Storage

Bunk beds are a great option to fit two people in one room, without taking up too much space. The bed on top can be accessed via a ladder. This is a great option for siblings who share the bedroom or for family members who live in small apartment.

Bunk beds are available in a variety of sizes, styles and shapes to fit into any space. They can be adapted to meet the requirements of each sleeping individual. For instance, if one child would prefer to sleep on the top bunk and the other on the bottom, the beds can be arranged in a way that they are facing each one. This lets each child have their personal space while enjoying the comfort of being surrounded by family members.

Many owners of bunk beds appreciate the possibility of adding under-bed storage drawers and trundles. These accessories can be put beneath the bunk bed to store clothing or blankets. They also provide extra room to sleepovers for guests who 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 bottom bunk bed. This can provide a comfortable spot for a second sleeping person when guests are in and also eliminates the need to pull out an air mattress.

Safety features are a must for anyone who is considering buying a bunk bed. Check for side rails in the lower and upper bunks to keep a child from falling off the top bunk. It is also important to think about how thick of a mattress you can comfortably place on the upper bunk as a thick mattress can cause a sleeping child to fall off the rails of guards while asleep and hurt himself or herself.

The kind of ladder you select for your bunk beds is a different choice for safety. Some types of bunk beds come with a long ladder that connects the lower and upper guard rails, while others have a shorter ladder that is attached to the front of the upper guard rail. This is perfect for children as it makes climbing to the top bunk easier and more secure.
