Size
Size is a major factor to consider when looking for a double bunk bed. Children grow quickly, and you may need to purchase a new bunk bed before they reach the size of the one you have. The kind of mattress you choose is also a crucial factor when selecting a bunk bed.
The most popular bunk bed configuration is twin over twin. They have two beds of the same size that are stacked one on top of the other, and are perfect for siblings who share the same room. Twin over twin bunks are able to accommodate standard twin mattresses, which are 39 inches wide and 75 inches long. If you're looking for a more extravagant option, look into twin XL bunk bed mattresses. These mattresses are five inches taller than standard twins. They're ideal for teens as well as college students and adults.
Full over full bunk beds have an extra-large mattress on the bottom bunk, which is ideal for adults or children who are taller than average. The full-size mattress measures 54 inches wide and 75 inches long. A majority of these beds come with a trundle, which can be removed from under the bed to provide an additional sleeping space.
Some bunk bed sets have separate twin-sized loft beds that can be separated into individual standalone beds. This is a great choice for those who want to secure your bunk bed by making the lower and upper beds distinct, or if your children decide to switch rooms in the future.
There are bunk beds that do not require the need for a foundation or box spring because the frame elevates the mattress. This is an excellent option for families who are on budget as it removes the necessity for foundations or box springs.
Your choice of frame and mattress will also be affected by the number of people who will sleep on your bunk beds. Larger rooms can accommodate triple bunk beds or L-shaped beds. Smaller rooms are better suited to a twin over full or full over twin arrangement.
Style
Depending on the configuration, a bunk bed that has two mattresses can be used by children or adults. Standard bunk beds are stacked one on top of each other and the top bed accessible through a ladder. This arrangement is perfect for rooms with limited space, and makes the room more useful. A futon bunk is a different option. It is arranged as a standard bunk, but is a futon sofa lower in Western style that can be transformed into a bed. The bunk bed can accommodate up to four people at once and is an excellent choice for families with teenagers or college students.
If you're looking to add more storage space for your bunk bed, look for a set that has drawers for clothes and other things. Some sets come with an integrated desk and a wooden panel on the side of the stairs, which can be used to hang wall decor or artwork. Bunk beds with a desk work well for children's rooms, but can also be used as a guest bedroom or the main bedroom of older kids and teens.
The color of the bunk bed can influence the overall style of your space. A white bunk bed, for instance will give a sense of lightness and airiness, while a bed made of dark wood gives an authentic or traditional style. If you plan to use bunk beds in a bedroom shared by children, opt for a paint finish that will complement your other furniture pieces. Bunk beds can be used to enhance a nautical theme like this bedroom by Kirsten Brockner Interiors, which features seashore-inspired bedding, blue and red striped accents and a stairway fit for a captain's cabin.
When decorating a bunk room with a

Safety
One of the main considerations when buying bunk beds is safety. Bunk beds are dangerous when they are not constructed correctly or
Full over full bunk beds if the children don't adhere to the rules. It is important to take measurements of the space you're planning to put the bunk bed, and compare the dimensions of the frame with the measurements of the mattress. This will help ensure that the mattress is a perfect fit and that there is enough room for your child to get in and out of bed with no issues.
Guard rails are a key safety feature. They should be placed on the top and bottom bunks. They should be constructed of solid wood and securely fastened to the frame of the bunk. Additionally any gaps, holes or openings on the frame of a bunk bed should be small enough to prevent children's heads, legs or torsos from being caught in the gaps. To avoid tripping hazards it's a good idea ensure that any ladders and stairs used to climb up the bunk bed frame are either part or the frame itself.
Another crucial safety tip is to not allow children under the age of six to sleep on the top bunk. The majority of bunk bed-related injuries happen to children under six years old, and more that half of these injuries are caused by falls. It's a good idea, too, to establish clear guidelines for the use of the bunk bed, and to stress that the top bunk should not be used for bouncing or playing.
Finally, it's recommended to ensure that no clothes, belts or jump ropes are hanging from the frame of the bunk bed as these can pose serious strangulation risks to children. You can buy clip on shelves that attach easily to the sides of the bunk. They will give your child a place to store their night time essentials so they don't have to get out of bed to look for 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 upper bed can be accessed by an escalator. This is ideal for siblings sharing bedrooms or for family members who live in a small apartment.
Bunk bed frames are available in various sizes, shapes and styles that can suit any room. They can be adapted to meet the requirements of each person sleeping. If, for example, one child likes sleeping on the top of the bunk and the other one on the bottom, the beds could be set up so that they face each one. This allows for each person to have their own private space, but still be within the family.
Many bunk bed owners appreciate the possibility of adding under-bed storage drawers and trundles. These add-ons are stationed underneath the lower bed and can be used to store blankets or clothing. They also provide extra room to sleepovers for guests who visit.
Trundles can also be found for bunk beds as pull-out mattresses. They are accessible via just one step and are situated beneath the bunk bed's bottom. This allows for an additional sleeping space when guests come over and eliminates the need for an air mattress.
Safety features are essential for anyone thinking of buying a bunk bed. It is important to look for side rails on the lower and upper bunks to help keep a child from rolling off the top bunk. It's also important to think about how thick a mattress can be comfortably fitted on the upper bunk. A mattress that is too thick could cause a child to slide off the railings and cause injury to themselves.
The kind of ladder you choose for your bunk beds is another safety option.
