Buying a Double Size Bunk Bed

A bunk bed brings design and function to a bedroom. It's a great option for siblings who share bedrooms or teens who want to invite friends over for a night at.

When you are looking for a double size bunk bed, take into consideration the height of the ceiling and if you'd like the bottom of the bed to have a trundle for extra guests. Find an incline or step that is large enough for teens and small children to climb.

Size

If you're thinking about buying bunk beds for your home, there are plenty of options to choose from. There are a variety of options, including twin over twin or twin over full or even triple bunk beds. These bunk beds are designed to accommodate two or more persons, so you can make the most of your bedroom space without sacrificing safety or comfort. Bunk beds can also be disassembled into two separate twin mattresses, in the event that it is necessary. You can reuse the bunk bed with double bed in case your children no longer use it or you want to save on headboards and foundations.

It's important to remember that the dimensions of your bed will determine which mattress is best for you. You can choose an oversized twin mattress for the top bunk, or a twin-sized mattress that is 5 inches longer. This option is perfect for teens, as it offers extra length for those who are taller. You can also pick a futon style bunk bed with a pull-out sofa at the bottom of the frame. This provides more space for sleep to teens or adults.

You should also consider the dimensions of your bunk beds. If you buy an overly high mattress it could result in hitting your head against the ceiling while lying down. As a rule of thumb you should have 6-8 inches between the mattress and the upper guard rail so that sleepers can comfortably sit in bed.

Based on the size of your room, you may also want to consider the height of your ladder for your bunk bed. You can buy staircase-style or angled ladders for bunk beds.

Bunk beds can also be made from particleboard or engineered wood, but these materials are not as durable as solid wood and may emit Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) that can cause allergic, respiratory or immune impacts on children.

Another important aspect to consider when choosing a bunk bed is the height of the top bunk. A bunk bed too high could cause people to fall from the top bunk or even hit their head on the rails. In general the bunk bed should not be more than six feet off the floor.

Design

If your kids are sharing a room the bunk beds could provide more sleeping space, but without taking up more floor space. Bunk beds are available in a variety of styles and configurations, and many even come with extra features such as stairs, built-in desks and trundles. While you can buy ready-made bunk beds in most major furniture stores, you can also build your own custom-designed bunk bed at your home to fit any size or style of room.

When deciding on a loft bed, you must think about the dimensions of your room as well as the height of the ceiling. A larger space can accommodate a larger mattress, whereas smaller rooms will require two mattresses to ensure that they do not crowd the space. It is also important to make sure that the ceiling does not fall on your child's head while they sleep on the top bunk.

A standard bunk bed can be constructed using two twin-sized mattresses, while some variations have full-size mattresses on the bottom and a twin on top.

Safety

Although injuries to the bunk bed can occur however, they are typically caused by the way that children use the beds, not the design or construction. Bunk beds are safe for children of all ages as long as they adhere to the basic safety precautions.

Before assembling your bunk bed, you must decide where you're going to place it, and measure the dimensions of the room. This will help you determine if the bed will fit and whether there's enough space to sleep or play. Also, be sure to check the height of the ceilings and don't put the bunk bed underneath ceiling fans or hanging lights.

Follow the guidelines that are provided by the manufacturer when making your bunk beds. This will ensure that all the components are fitted correctly and that your bunk bed is solid. Replace any damaged or worn parts. Also, make sure that the ladders are securely attached to the bunk beds, and that they are able to support the weight of your child as well as any other guests who might be sleeping over.

Another important safety tip is to teach your children the rules of bunk bed use. For instance, the upper bunk is for sleeping only and should not be used to play games or jump. The ladder must also be secured to the bunk and should not be placed near any furniture or other toys that might tempt kids to climb on it. The children should also be taught how to climb the ladder safely and slowly.

When making your bunk bed think about using a ladder that attaches to the side of the bed instead of one that is beneath it. This will reduce the chance of tripping or getting tangled with bedding or clothing. Consider installing an extra nightlight in the room next to the bunk bed. This will give your children an increased sense of security when they climb in and out of the bed at night.

Finally, it's a good idea to check the openings and spaces in the guardrails and mattress foundations before letting your children sleep in them. The openings should not be more than 5 inches wide and shouldn't be located in a place where your child's head could strike if they're sitting in a straight position on the top bunk.
