Size

When shopping for a bunk bed that has a double bed size, size is a key aspect to consider. Children grow quickly and it is possible that you will need to buy a new bunk bed with double underneath bed before they outgrow the current one. When choosing a bunkbed you must also think about the type of mattress.

The most popular 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're ideal for siblings sharing in a bedroom. Twin over twin bunks accommodate normal twin mattresses, which are 39 inches wide and 75 inches long. If you're seeking a more luxurious option, consider twin XL bunk beds. These mattresses are five inches longer than the normal twins. They're ideal for teens, college students, and adults.

Full over full bunk beds feature an entire mattress on the bottom bunk, which is perfect for adults as well as children who are taller than average. The full-size bed measures 54 inches wide and 75 inches in length. A majority of these beds come with a trundle that can be pulled out from under the lower bed, allowing for an additional sleeping space for guests.

Some bunk beds have lofts that are twin-sized and can be broken down into separate beds. This is a great choice if you wish to future-proof the bunk bed by segregating the beds into lower and upper, or if the children decide to move rooms in the future.

There are also bunk beds that do not require the need for a foundation or box spring because the frame elevates the mattress. This is a great choice for families who are on a budget since it can save money and eliminates the need for an additional foundation or box spring.

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

Style

A bunk bed with a double mattress can be used by kids or adults, depending on the layout you select. The standard bunk beds are stacked on the top of each other, with the top bed accessible by a ladder. This arrangement is ideal for rooms with little space and makes the space more practical. A futon bunk is an alternative option. It is arranged as a standard bunk, however it is a futon sofa lower in Western style that can be transformed into an actual bed. This bunk bed can sleep up to four people at once and is a great choice for families with teenagers or college students.

If you're looking to outfit your bunk bed with extra storage, you should look for sets that have stairs with drawers for clothing or other items. Some sets include a built in desk and a wooden panel along the sides of the stairs, which can be used to hang wall decor or artwork. Bunk beds that have desks are great for children's bedrooms, but they can be used in a guest room or as a primary bedroom for older children and teenagers.

The color of your bunk bed may influence the overall appearance of your room. For example a white bunk bed will give a light and airy feel and dark wood bunk beds creates a more traditional or rustic vibe. If you plan to use a bunk bed in a shared children's bedroom choose an appropriate paint finish to match your furniture pieces. Bunk beds can be used to complement the theme of nautical as in this bedroom from Kirsten Brockner Interiors with seashore-inspired bedding, blue and red striped accents and a stairway fit for a captain's cabin.

When decorating a bunk bed with a double bed try to keep the design simple and clean so that it can be easily modified as your child grows older and their tastes change. A bunk bed with a twin bed that has a neutral stone finish can easily be updated by adding some throw pillows in different shades.

Safety

Safety is an important factor when buying bunk beds. Bunk beds can be incredibly dangerous if they're not properly constructed or if children don't adhere to the rules. You should measure the space where you intend to put the bunk bed and then compare the dimensions of the frame with the dimensions of the mattress. This will help ensure that your mattress fits perfectly and that there is enough room for your child to get in and out of bed without any issues.

Guard rails are a key safety feature. They should be located on the top and bottom bunks. These rails must be constructed of solid wood and attached securely to the frame. Additionally, any gaps, holes or openings in the frame of a bunk bed need to be small enough to avoid children's heads, legs or torsos from being trapped in the gaps. It's also an excellent idea to make sure that any ladders or stairs used to climb up and down the bunk bed are either part of the frame itself or are securely attached to it to avoid them coming loose and creating the risk of tripping.

Another important safety tip: Don't let children younger than six years old sleep on the top bunk. Most injuries related to bunk beds occur to children younger than this age, and more than half of them happen because of falls. It's a good idea, also, to establish clear rules for using the bunk bed, and to make it clear that the top bunk shouldn't be used for jumping or playing.

It's also an excellent idea to ensure that no belts, clothing or jump ropes are hanging from the frame of the bunk bed since these can pose serious strangulation hazards for children. You can buy shelves that attach easily to the sides and give your child a place to keep their night-time necessities and not have to get out of bed at night to search for them.

Stores

Bunk beds permit two people to share a room without consuming too much space on the floor. The bed on top can be accessed via a ladder. This is ideal for siblings who share a bedroom or for family members who live in small apartment.

Bunk bed frames are available in a variety of sizes shapes and styles that can suit any room. They can even be adjusted to meet the preferences of the sleepers. For example, if one child prefers the top bunk while the other wants the bottom bunk, the beds can be set up to make them face each one. This allows each person to have his or her privacy while being close to loved ones.

Many owners of bunk beds like the option of adding under-bed storage drawers and trundles. These accessories can be put under the bunk bed to store clothing or blankets. These add-ons can also serve to provide extra space for guests to come to visit.

Trundles are also available for bunk beds as pull-out mattresses. These mattresses are accessible via just one step and are located under the bunk bed's bottom. This allows for an additional sleeping space when guests are visiting and eliminates the requirement for an air mattress.

Safety features are essential for anyone thinking of buying a bunk bed. Be sure to check for side rails on the upper and lower bunks to prevent a child from falling off the top bunk. It's also important to take into consideration how thick of a mattress you can fit on the upper bunk, as too thick of a mattress could cause a sleeper to fall off of the rails of guards when asleep, causing injury to him or herself.

Other safety options include the kind of ladder you select for your bunk bed. Some bunk beds have a long ladder connecting the lower and upper rails. Others have a shorter ladder that is attached to the front of upper guard rail. This is the ideal option for children, as it makes climbing up to the top bunk safer and more comfortable.
