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 who are on a budget as it saves money and eliminates the requirement for an additional foundation or box spring.

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

Style

Based on the configuration, a bunk bed that has two mattresses can be used by children or adults. Standard bunk beds are placed on top of each other with the top bed accessible via the ladder.

Safety

Safety is a key factor when buying bunk beds. Bunk beds can be extremely risky if they're not constructed or if kids don't follow the rules. It's important that you take measurements of the space where you'd like to place it and check the dimensions of the frame carefully against the measurements of your mattress. This will ensure that the mattress is perfectly sized and that there is enough clearance for your child to get in and out of bed without problems.

A crucial safety feature to look for is guard rails on both the top and bottom bunks. They should be made of solid piece of wood that is securely fastened to the frame of the bunk. Any gaps, openings, or holes on the frame of the bed should be small enough that children's legs, heads or torsos cannot get stuck in the gaps. To prevent accidents from tripping 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 important safety tip is to not let children under the age of six to sleep on the top bunk. The majority of injuries resulting from bunk beds occur to children who are less than six years old, and it is estimated that half of them are caused by falls. It's a good idea, as well, to set clear guidelines for the use of the bunk bed, and to make it clear that the top bunk should not be used for jumping, playing or anything else.

Finally, it's a good idea to ensure that no clothes, belts or jump ropes are hanging from the frame of the bunk bed since these can pose serious strangulation risks to children. You can purchase shelves that clip easily to the side and give your child somewhere to store their night-time necessities and not have to get out of bed at night to search for them.

Bunk beds are a great option to fit two people in a room, without taking up too much space. The bed's upper portion is typically accessible via a ladder which is great for siblings sharing bedrooms, or for family members who live in small apartment.

Bunk beds come in many sizes, styles and shapes to fit into any space. They can be adapted to meet the needs of each individual sleeping. If, for example, one child likes sleeping on the top bunk, and the other one on the bottom one, the beds can be set up so that they are facing each one. This allows each child to have their own personal space, yet be surrounded by family members.

Another feature that a lot of people who own bunk beds appreciate is having the option of adding storage drawers underneath or trundles to their frames. These are positioned beneath the bed's lower section and can be used to hold blankets or clothing. These accessories can also be used to create additional space for guests to visit.

Besides under-bed drawers, trundles can be added to bunk beds in the form of mattresses that can be pulled out underneath the bottom bed and are easily accessed with just a few steps. This provides an additional sleeping space when guests come over and eliminates the need for an air mattress.

Anyone considering buying a bunk bed must consider the safety features. You'll want to check 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 upper bunk, as a thick mattress can cause a sleeping child to fall off of the rails of guards while asleep and hurt himself or herself.

Other safety options include the type of ladder you choose for your bunk bed. Some bunk beds feature a ladder that is long and connects the lower and upper rails. Others have a shorter ladder attached to the front of upper guard rail. This is ideal for children because it makes climbing to the top bunk simpler and more secure.
