Size
When you are looking for a bunk bed that comes with a double beds size, size is a key aspect to take into consideration. Children grow quickly and may require you to purchase a brand new bunk bed before they reach the size of the one they have. The kind of mattress you pick is also an essential consideration when selecting the bunk bed.
Twin over twin bunk beds are the most popular bunk bed configurations. They have two beds of the same size stacked one on top of the other and are ideal for siblings sharing the same room. Twin over twin bunks can fit standard twin mattresses that are 39 inches wide by 75 inches long. If you're looking for a more luxurious option, you can consider twin XL bunk bed mattresses. These mattresses are five inches larger than the normal twins. They're great for teens as well as college students and adults.
Full over full bunk beds come with an entire mattress on the bottom bunk, which is perfect for adults or children who are taller than average. The full-size mattress is 54 inches wide and 75 inches long. A lot of these beds feature a trundle that pulls out from under the lower bed, allowing for an additional sleeping space for guests.
Some bunk beds come with separate loft beds of twin size that can be divided into separate beds. This is a great option for those who want to secure the bunk bed by segregating the upper and lower beds, or if the children decide to move rooms in the future.
You can also find bunk beds that don't need foundation or box spring as the frame of these beds elevates the mattress. This is a great choice for families with a tight budget, as it does away with the necessity for foundations or box springs.
The number of people that must sleep with on your bunk bed will affect the choice of frame and mattress. Larger rooms can accommodate triple bunk beds or L-shaped beds. Smaller rooms are more for twin over full or full over twin arrangement.
Style
Based on the configuration, a bunk bed that has two mattresses can be able to accommodate children or adults. Standard bunk beds are stacked on top of each other with the top bed accessible via an incline. This arrangement is ideal for rooms with small space, and makes the space more functional. Another alternative is a futon bunk, which is arranged like a standard bunk but with the futon couch in a lower Western style which converts into bed. This bunk bed is perfect for families with teenagers and college students. It can accommodate four people.
If you're looking for extra storage space for your bunk bed, search for a set that includes drawers for clothes and other things. Some sets include a built-in desk and a wooden panel that is placed on the side of the stairs that can be used as a unique place to hang artwork or decor. Bunk beds with desks are ideal for bedrooms for children, but can also be used as a guest bedroom or the main bedroom of older kids and teens.
The color of the bunk bed may affect the overall appearance of your space. A white bunk bed, for example can give the impression of lightness and airiness while a bunk bed made of dark wood gives an old-fashioned or rustic vibe. If you're planning to install bunk beds in a bedroom shared by children pick the right paint finish that will complement your other furniture pieces. Bunk beds are an excellent option to add a nautical theme. This bedroom by Kirsten Brockner Interiors has bedding inspired by the sea with accents of red and blue stripes, and a staircase suitable for a cabin in a captain's.
If you are decorating a bunk bed with a double bed ensure that the design is simple and clean, so that it can be easily adapted as your child grows older and their preferences change. For example, a bunk bed with double beds that have a stone-colored, neutral finish can be easily updated by the addition of a few vibrant throw pillows in contrasting shades.
Safety
One of the most important factors to consider when purchasing a bunk bed is safety. Bunk beds pose danger if not built properly or if the children don't adhere to the rules. It is important to take measurements of the space you intend to put the bunk bed, and compare the dimensions of the frame to the measurements of the mattress. This will ensure that your mattress is a perfect fit and that there is enough clearance for your child to climb into and out of bed with no problems.
Guard rails are a key security feature. traditional bunk beds should be on the top and bottom bunks. They should be made of solid wood that is securely attached to the frame of the bunk. Any gaps, openings, or holes on the frame of the bunk bed should be sized so that children's legs, heads or torsos don't get caught in the gaps. To prevent accidents from tripping it is a good idea to ensure that ladders and stairs used to climb the frame of the bunk bed are part or the frame itself.
Another important safety rule is to not allow children younger than six to sleep on the top bunk. Most injuries related to bunk beds occur to children younger than this age and more than half occur due to falls. In addition to that it's a good idea to set specific rules regarding the use of the bunk bed and stress that the top bunk is not for jumping, playing or for anything else.
Also, it's an excellent idea to make sure that no clothes, belts or jump ropes are hanging from the frame of the bunk bed since these can pose serious strangulation dangers to children. You can buy shelves that attach easily to the side and give your child a place to store their nighttime essentials and not have to leave their bed in the dark to search for them.
Stores
Bunk beds are a great option to fit two people in one room, without taking up too much space. The bed on top is accessible via a ladder. This is ideal for siblings sharing the bedroom or for family members living in small apartments.
Bunk bed frames come in a variety of sizes, shapes and styles that can be adapted to any space. They can even be modified to meet the requirements of the people sleeping. For example, if one child prefers the top bed and the other wants the bottom bunk, the beds can be set up to make them face each one. This lets each child have their own private space while still being close to loved ones.
Many bunk bed owners also appreciate the possibility of adding under-bed storage drawers and trundles. These extras can be put under the bunk bed to store clothing or blankets. These add-ons can also serve to provide extra space for guests when they visit.
In addition to drawers under the bed, trundles can be added to bunk beds in the shape of pull-out mattresses that are placed under the bed's bottom and can be easily opened with just a few steps. This provides an additional sleeping space for guests who come over and eliminates the need for an air mattress.
Anyone considering buying a bunk bed should consider the safety features. Be sure to check for side rails on the upper and lower bunks to stop the child from falling off the top bunk. It is also important to consider how thick a mattress can comfortably fit on the upper bunk. A mattress that is too heavy may cause a child to slide off the railings and injure themselves.
The kind of ladder you select for your bunk beds is an additional safety option. Some bunk beds feature a long ladder connecting the lower and upper rails. Others include a shorter ladder that is tacked to the front of upper guard rail. The latter is ideal for children since it makes the climb to the top bunk more comfortable and safer.
