Size

These mattresses are five inches longer than the standard twins. They're great for teens, college students, and adults.

Full-size mattresses are used on the bottom bunk 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 come with a trundle, which can be pulled out from underneath the lower bed to provide additional sleeping space.

Some bunk beds have lofts that are twin-sized and can be split into separate beds. This is an excellent option for those who want to secure your bunk bed by keeping the upper and lower beds separate, or should your children decide to switch rooms in the near future.

There are bunk beds that do not require foundation or box spring because the frame of these bunks elevates the mattress. This is an excellent option for families with a tight budget as it saves money and eliminates the need for an additional foundation or box spring.

The number of people you have to sleep with on the bunk bed will determine the frame and mattress. Larger rooms can accommodate triple bunk beds or L-shaped bunk beds. Smaller rooms are better suitable for twin over full or full over twin arrangement.

Style

Depending on the configuration a bunk bed with double mattresses can be able to accommodate children or adults. Standard bunk beds are stacked on the top of each other, with the top bed accessed via a ladder. This arrangement is ideal for rooms with a small space, and makes the space more functional. A futon bunk is a different option. It is designed as a standard bunk, however it has a lower futon couch in Western style that can be converted into an actual 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 desks that are built-in as well as a wooden board along the bottom of the stairs, which can be used to hang wall decor or artwork. Bunk beds with desks are ideal for bedrooms for children, but they can also be used as an extra bedroom for guests or as the principal bedroom for older children and teens.

The color of your bunk bed could have a significant impact on the overall look of your room. For example a white bunk bed can provide a light and airy feel and a dark wood bunk bed creates a more traditional or rustic look. If you are planning to put a bunk bed in a bedroom shared by children choose an appropriate paint finish to match your furniture pieces. Bunk beds are a great option to add a nautical theme.

If you are decorating a bunk bed with a double bed try to keep the design simple and neat 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 neutral stone-colored finish can be easily updated with the addition of a few bright throw pillows in different shades.

Safety

Safety is an important factor when buying a bunk bed. Bunk beds can be very risky if they're not constructed or if the children don't adhere to the rules. It is important to measure the space where you're planning 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 your child will be able to get in and out of the bed without any issues.

Guard rails are a crucial security feature. They should be on the top and bottom bunks. These should be a solid wood that is securely attached to the frame of the bunk. Additionally any holes, gaps or openings in the frame of a bunk bed should be small enough to keep children's heads, legs or torso from getting stuck in them. It's also a good idea to ensure that any ladders or stairs used to climb up and down the bed are either part of the frame or are securely attached to it to avoid them coming loose and creating the risk of tripping.

Another important safety tip: Don't let children younger than six years old sleep on the top bunk. The majority of injuries resulting from bunk beds happen to children under this age, and more than half of them result from falls. In addition to that, it's also an excellent idea to establish specific rules regarding the use of the bunk bed, and to emphasize that the top bunk is not for playing, jumping or anything else.

Finally, it's an excellent idea to ensure that no belts, clothing or jump ropes hang from the frame of the bunk bed as they can be strangulation risks to children. You can buy clip on shelves that secure easily to the sides of the bunk. They will give your child a place to store their night time essentials so they don't need to get out of the bed to search for them in the dark.

Storage

Bunk beds allow two persons to sleep in the same room without taking up the space on the floor. The upper bed can be accessed by the ladder. This is ideal for siblings who share bedrooms or for family members who live in small apartment.

Bunk beds are available in a variety of sizes, styles and shapes to suit any room. They can be made to meet the needs of each individual sleeping. For instance, if one child likes sleeping on the top bunk and the other one on the bottom one, the beds can be arranged in a way that they face each other. This allows each person to have their own personal space, while still being surrounded by family members.

Many owners of bunk beds like the option of adding under-bed storage drawers and trundles. These extras can be put underneath the lower bunk bed to store clothes or blankets. They also provide extra room for sleepovers when guests visit.

Trundles are also available for bunk beds as pull-out mattresses. These mattresses are accessible via just one step and are situated beneath the bottom bunk bed. This gives you an additional sleeping space when guests visit and eliminates the need for an air mattress.

Anyone considering buying bunk beds should take into consideration the safety features. Be sure to check for side rails on the lower and upper bunks to keep the child from falling off the top bunk. It's also important to consider the amount of mattress you can comfortably fit on the top bunk, as a thick mattress could cause a sleeper to fall off the rails that guard them when asleep, causing injury to him or herself.

The type of ladder that you select for your bunk beds is a different security option. Some bunk beds have a ladder that is long and connects the lower and upper rails. Others include a shorter ladder that is tacked to the front of the upper guard rails. This is perfect for children because it makes the climb to the top bunk more comfortable and more secure.
