Size
When you are looking for a bunk bed that has a double beds size, size is a key factor to consider. Children grow quickly, and you may need to buy a new bunk bed before they reach the size of the one they have. When selecting a bunkbed you must also think about the kind of mattress.
The most popular bunk bed configuration is twin over twin. They feature two twin-sized beds stacked on top of each other and are great for siblings who share rooms. Twin over twin bunks can be able to accommodate standard twin mattresses that are 39 inches wide by 75 inches long. Consider twin XL mattresses in case you are looking for a more luxurious mattress. They are five inches larger than standard twins and work well for teenagers, college youth, and even adults.
Full-size mattresses are used on the bottom bunks of full-over-full bunk beds. This is ideal for children and adults who are taller. The full-size mattress measures 54 inches wide and 75 inches long. A majority of these beds have the option of a trundle that can be removed from under the bed to provide more sleeping space.
Some bunk bed sets feature separate twin-sized loft beds that can be separated into separate beds. This is a great choice if you want to future-proof your bunk bed by keeping the upper and lower beds distinct, or if your children decide to swap rooms in the near future.
There are bunk beds that don't require a box spring or foundation, as the frame of these bunks raises the mattress. This is an excellent option for families on a budget since it can save money and eliminates the requirement for a separate foundation or box spring.
The number of people you must sleep with on your bunk bed will also determine the frame and mattress. Larger bedrooms can accommodate triple, L-shaped, or trundle bunk beds while smaller rooms are better suited for twin over full or twin over full arrangement.
Style
A bunk bed with a double mattress can accommodate kids or adults, depending on the arrangement you select. Standard bunk beds are placed on the top of each other, with the top bed accessed via the ladder. This arrangement is great for rooms that have small space, and makes the room more practical. Another option is a futon bunk, which is arranged like a standard bed, but has an asymmetrical futon couch which converts into bed. This bunk bed is great for families with teenagers and college students. It can accommodate up to four people.
If you're looking to furnish your bunk bed with additional storage, you should look for an item with drawers for clothing or other things. Some sets have a built in desk and a wooden panel along the sides of the stairs, which can be used to hang wall decorations or artwork. Bunk beds with desks are ideal for bedrooms for children but they can also be useful in guest rooms or as a main bedroom for older kids and teenagers.
The color of your bunk bed can affect the overall look of your room. For example a white bunk bed will give an airy and light feel, while a dark wood bunk bed gives a more traditional or rustic vibe. If you are planning to put bunk beds in a shared bedroom for children pick a paint finish that will match your furniture pieces. Bunk beds can be used to complement a nautical theme as in this bedroom by Kirsten Brockner Interiors that features sea-inspired bedding, red and blue stripes and a stairway suitable for a cabin of a captain.
Keep the design simple and clean when decorating a bunk that has the size of a double bed. This allows it to be easily altered by your child as they grow older and their tastes change. For instance, a bunk with double beds with an unassuming stone-colored finish could be easily updated with the addition of bright throw pillows in different shades.
Safety
One of the main factors to consider when purchasing a bunk bed is safety. Bunk beds can be dangerous if not built properly or if children do not follow the rules. It's crucial to determine the area you'd like to place it and then compare the dimensions of the frame carefully against the measurements of your mattress. This will ensure that the mattress is perfectly fitted and that your child can be able to get into and out of the bed with no problems.
Guard rails are a crucial safety feature. They should be on the top and bottom bunks. These should be a solid wood and securely fastened to the frame of the bunk. Additionally any holes, gaps or openings on the frame of a bunk bed need to be small enough to avoid children's legs, heads or torsos from being stuck in the gaps. It's also a good idea to ensure that any stairs or ladders used to climb up and down the bed are either part of the frame itself or that they're securely secured to it, to avoid them coming loose and creating a tripping hazard.
Another important safety rule is to never allow children younger than six to sleep on the top bunk. The majority of injuries resulting from bunk beds happen to children younger than this age and more than half of them occur due to falls. It's a good idea also, to establish clear rules for using the bunk bed, and to emphasize that the top bunk shouldn't be used for bouncing or playing.
It's important to ensure that no clothes, belts, or jump ropes hang from the frame of a bunk bed. They could pose a serious strangulation hazard for children. You can purchase clip on shelves that can be easily attached to the side of the bunk. They will give your child a place to keep their night time essentials so they don't need to get out of bed to find them in the dark.
Stores
Bunk beds are a great way to accommodate two people in one room, without taking up too much space. The bed above is accessible by a ladder. This is perfect for siblings sharing the bedroom or for family members living in a small apartment.
Bunk bed frames are available in a variety of sizes, shapes and styles that will fit in with any space. They can be adapted to meet the requirements of each sleeping individual. For example, if one child prefers the top bed and another prefers the bottom bunk and 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.
Many bunk bed owners appreciate the possibility of adding under-bed storage drawers and trundles. These extras can be put underneath the lower bunk bed to store clothing or blankets. These add-ons can also serve to provide extra space for guests when they come to visit.
In addition to drawers under the bed Trundles can be affixed to bunk beds in the form of pull-out mattresses that lie under the bed's bottom and are easily accessed with just a few steps. This allows for an additional sleeping space when guests are visiting and eliminates the requirement for an air mattress.
Safety features are a must for anyone thinking of buying a bunk bed. Make sure there are side rails on the lower and upper bunks to keep children from falling off the top bunk. It's also important to consider the amount of mattress you can fit on the top bunk, because a too thick mattress can cause a sleeper to roll off of the rails that guard them while asleep and hurt himself or herself.
Other options for safety include the type of ladder you choose for your bunk bed. Certain bunk beds have a long ladder that connects the lower and upper guard rails, while others offer an easier ladder that connects to the front of the upper guard rail. This is perfect for children because it makes climbing to the top bunk simpler and more secure.
