Size

Size is a key aspect to take into account when shopping for a double bed bunk with desk bunk bed. Many children grow rapidly and may require you to buy a 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 picking the bunk bed.

The most commonly used bunk bed configuration is twin over twin. These bunk beds consist of two mattresses that are twin-sized and stacked on top of each other. They are ideal for children sharing bedrooms. Twin over twin bunks accommodate normal twin mattresses, which are 39 inches wide and 75 inches long. If you're looking for a more luxurious option, consider twin XL bunk bed mattresses. These mattresses are five inches longer than normal twins. They are ideal for teenagers as well as college students and adults.

Full-size mattresses are placed on the bottom bunk of full-over-full bunk beds. This is ideal for adults and children who are taller. The full-size mattress measures 54 inches wide and 75 inches long. Many of these beds have a trundle that can be pulled out from under the lower mattress, providing an additional sleeping space for guests.

Some bunk beds come with separate twin-sized loft beds that can be separated into standalone beds. This is an excellent option when you want to ensure the future of your bunk bed by separating the beds on the upper and lower sides separate, or if your children decide to switch rooms in the near future.

There are bunk beds that do not require foundation or box springs because the frame of these bunks raises the mattress. This is a great choice for families with an extremely tight budget, since it eliminates 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, L-shaped or trundle bunk beds, smaller rooms are suited for twin over full or twin over full layout.

Style

Based on the configuration, a bunk bed with double bed bunk mattresses can be used by children or adults. Standard bunk beds are stacked one over each other, with the top bed accessible through a ladder. This arrangement is great for rooms with small space, and makes the room more functional. A futon bunk is another option. It is arranged as an ordinary bunk, but has a lower futon couch in Western style which can be converted into bed. This bunk bed is perfect for families with teens or college students. It can accommodate up to 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 come with a built in desk and a wooden panel along the bottom of the stairs that can be used to hang wall decor or even art. Bunk beds with a desk are ideal for bedrooms for children, but they can also work well in a guest room or as a primary bedroom for older children and teenagers.

The color of the bunk bed can affect the overall appearance of your room. For instance a white bunk bed can provide a light and airy feel and dark wood bunk beds provides a more traditional rustic feel. If you plan to use bunk beds in a shared bedroom for children choose a paint finish that will be a perfect match for your furniture pieces. Bunk beds can be used to enhance a nautical theme like this bedroom by Kirsten Brockner Interiors that features sea-inspired bedding, blue and red stripes, and a staircase fit for a captain's cabin.

Keep the style simple and neat when decorating a bunk bed with an extra-large bed. This will allow it to be easily modified by your child as they grow and their tastes change. A quadruple sleeper bunk bed bed with twin beds that have a neutral stone finish can easily be upgraded by adding some throw pillows in contrast shades.

Safety

One of the biggest considerations when buying bunk beds is safety. Bunk beds can be incredibly risky if they're not built or the kids do not follow the rules. It is important to measure the space where you intend to put the bunk bed, and compare the dimensions of the frame to the measurements of the mattress. This will ensure that the mattress fits perfectly, and that your child can be able to get into and out of the bed without any issues.

Guard rails are a key security feature. They should be placed on the top and bottom bunks. These guard rails should be constructed from solid wood and secured securely to the frame. Also, any gaps, holes or openings on the frame of a bunk bed must be small enough to prevent children's legs, head or torsos from being caught in the gaps. To avoid tripping hazards it's a good idea ensure that ladders and stairs used to climb up the bunk bed frame are either part or the frame itself.

Another important safety tip: Never let children under six years old sleep on the top bunk. The majority of injuries resulting from bunk beds happen to children who aren't yet this age, and more than half occur due to falls. It's a good idea, as well, to set clear rules for using the bunk bed, and to stress that the top bunk should not be used for bouncing or playing.

It's important to ensure that no clothes belts, jump ropes hang off the frame of a bunk bed. They could pose a serious strangulation hazard for children. You can buy clip-on shelves that secure easily to the sides of the bed and provide your child a place to keep their essentials for the night so that they don't have to get up from the bed to search for them in the dark.

Stores

Bunk beds permit two people to sleep in the same room without consuming the floor space. The upper bed is accessible via the ladder. This is ideal for siblings who share a bedroom or for family members who live in a small apartment.

Bunk bed frames are available in a variety of sizes, shapes and styles that can suit any room. They can be made to meet the requirements of each person sleeping. If, for example, one child likes sleeping on the top bunk, and the other the bottom, the beds could be arranged in a way that they face each other. This allows each person to have their own private space while still being close to loved ones.

Another benefit that many homeowners of bunk beds enjoy is the option of adding under-bed storage drawers or trundles to their frames. These extras are placed underneath the lower bed and can be used to hold clothing or blankets. These accessories can also be used to provide extra space for guests to visit.

Apart from drawers for under-bed storage, trundles can also be added to bunk beds in the form of pull-out mattresses that are placed under the bed's bottom and are easily accessed with a simple step. This gives you an additional sleeping space for guests who are visiting and eliminates the requirement for an air mattress.

Safety features are a must for anyone who is considering buying bunk beds. You'll want to check for side rails on both the upper and lower bunks that help keep a child from rolling off the top bunk. It's also important to think about the thickness of a mattress that can comfortably fit on the upper bunk. Too thick a mattress could cause a child fall off the guard rails and cause injury to themselves.

The kind of ladder you select for your bunk beds is an additional security option. Some bunk beds come with an extended ladder that connects the upper and lower rails. Others have a shorter ladder that is attached to the front of the upper guard rail. This is the ideal option for children, as it makes climbing to the top bunk safer and more comfortable.
