Size
Size is a key factor to consider when choosing a double bunk bed. Many children grow rapidly and may require you to purchase a new bunk bed before they outgrow the current one. When selecting a bunkbed it is important to consider the kind of mattress.

Twin over twin bunks can accommodate the standard twin mattresses that are 39 inches wide and 75 inches long. Think about twin XL mattresses if are looking for a more luxurious mattress. These mattresses are five inches larger than standard twins. They’re ideal for teens college students, as well as adults.

The full-size mattress is 54 inches wide and 75 inches long. A majority of these beds come with a trundle, which can be removed from under the lower bed to provide more sleeping space.
Some bunk beds come with separate loft beds of twin size that can be separated into separate beds. This is a great choice if you want to future-proof your bunk bed by making the lower and upper beds separate, or if your children choose to swap rooms in the future.
There are bunk beds without the need for a foundation or box spring as the frame raises 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.
The number of people you have to 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, while smaller rooms are better suited for twin over twin or full over full arrangement.
Style
Depending on the configuration a bunk bed with double mattresses can be used by children or adults. The standard bunk beds are stacked on one another, with the top bed accessible by an incline. This arrangement is ideal for rooms with limited space, and makes the room more practical. Another option is a futon bunk that is designed to look as a standard bunk, but with the futon couch in a lower Western style that can be converted into bed. This bunk bed can sleep up to four people at once and is a great choice for families with teens or college students.
If you’re looking for extra storage for your bunk bed, search for a set that includes drawers for clothes and other items. Some sets include a built-in desk and a wooden panel on the side of the staircase that can be used as a unique space to hang art or decorate. Bunk beds that have desks are ideal for bedrooms for children, but they can also be used as an additional bedroom or principal bedroom for older children and teens.
The color of the bunk bed may also impact the overall look of your space. A white bunk bed, for example will give a sense of lightness and airiness while a bunk bed made from dark wood will give an authentic or traditional vibe.

Safety
One of the most important considerations when buying bunk beds is safety. Bunk beds can be extremely dangerous if they’re not properly constructed or if the children don’t adhere to the rules. It is essential to measure the room where you want to put it and then compare the dimensions of the frame carefully against the dimensions of your mattress. This will ensure that the mattress is perfectly fitted, and your child will be able to move into and out of the bed without difficulties.
A key safety feature to look out for is guard rails on the top and bottom bunks. The rails that guard the bed should be constructed from solid wood and secured securely to the frame. Additionally any gaps, holes or openings in the frame of a bunk bed should be small enough to keep children’s heads, legs or torsos from getting stuck in the gaps. It’s also recommended to make sure that any ladders or stairs used to climb up and down the bunk bed are either part of the frame or that they’re securely secured to it, to avoid them becoming loose and causing a tripping hazard.
Another important safety tip is to never allow children younger than six to sleep on the top bunk. The majority of bunk bed-related injuries happen to children under six years old, and it is estimated that half of them result from falls. Additionally, it’s also recommended to establish clear rules for using the bunk bed, bunkbedsstore and to emphasize that the top bunk is not for playing, jumping or anything else.
Finally, it’s recommended to ensure that no belts, clothes or jump ropes hang from the frame of the bunk bed because these can pose serious strangulation hazards for children. You can buy clip on shelves that attach easily to the side of the bunk and give your child a space to store their essentials for the night so that they don’t have to get out of bed to find them in the dark.
Storage
Bunk beds allow two people to share a room without taking up too much space on the floor. The upper bed is usually accessible via a ladder which is great for siblings sharing the bedroom, or for family members living in small apartment.
Bunk beds come in a variety of sizes, styles and shapes to suit any room. They can also be customized to fit the needs of the sleeping individuals. For instance, if one child prefers to sleep on the top bunk, and the other on the bottom, the beds can be set up so that they face each the other. This allows each child to have their own private space, yet be within the family.
Another feature that many people who own bunk beds appreciate is having the option of incorporating storage drawers under the bed or trundles to their frames. These accessories can be put under the bunk bed to store clothing or blankets. They also give extra space for sleepovers when guests visit.
Besides under-bed drawers, trundles can also be added to bunk beds in the shape of mattresses that can be pulled out beneath the bottom bed and can be easily opened with just a few steps. This gives you an additional sleeping space when guests are visiting and eliminates the requirement for an air mattress.
Safety features are essential for anyone considering purchasing bunk beds. Make sure there are side rails on the lower and upper bunks to keep the child from falling off the top bunk. It’s also important to think about the amount of mattress that can comfortably fit on the upper bunk. A mattress that is too thick may cause a child to slide off the railings and cause injury to themselves.
Other options for safety include the type of ladder you choose for your bunk bed. Some bunk beds have an extended ladder that connects the upper and lower rails. Others have a shorter ladder that is attached to the front of upper guard rails. This is the best option for children, as it makes climbing up to the top bunk bed with double bed at bottom more secure and more comfortable.
