Buying a Double Size Bunk Bed A bunk bed brings design and function to bedrooms. It's the perfect choice for siblings sharing a room or tweens looking to have friends sleep over. Consider the ceiling height of the room when shopping for a double-sized bed. Also, consider if you want the bottom bunk to have a trundle so that guests can sleep there. Find an incline or step that is wide enough for teenagers and small children to climb. Size If you're thinking of purchasing bunk beds for your home, there are many alternatives available. There are twin over twin, full over full, and even triple bunk beds. These bunk beds can sleep two or more persons. This lets you maximize your bedroom space while maintaining security and comfort. Bunk beds are also easily disassembled to create two twin mattresses if needed. This allows you to repurpose your bunk bed in the future, if your children no longer need it, or if you wish to save money on new foundations and headboards. It is important to keep in mind that the size of your bed will determine which mattress is suitable for you. You can choose a standard twin mattress for your top bunk or go for an XL twin mattress, which is 5 inches longer than standard twin mattresses. This option is ideal for teens as it gives them extra length to accommodate sleepers who are taller. You can also pick a futon bunk, which features a pull-out couch at the bottom of the frame and gives more space to sleep for adults or teenagers. It is also important to consider the height of your bunk beds. If you buy mattresses that are too high you could end up hitting your head on the ceiling while lying down. A good rule of thumb is to make sure there's a minimum of six to eight inches of space between the mattress and the upper guard rail that allows sleepers to sit up in bed. Depending on the size of your room, you may also want to consider the height of your ladder for your bunk bed. Most bunk beds come with straight ladders, however you can also buy stairs-style or angled bunk bed ladders. Staircase-style ladders occupy more space, but are generally safer to use than straight ladders. Bunk bed ladders are also available in various heights, which is useful when your children are growing up and might have to move rooms. Some bunk beds can be separated to create a lofted bed, which will free up floor space for furniture, a dresser or desk toys. This can be a fantastic option for older children or teenagers who don't wish to share their rooms anymore and will allow them to be able to live in their own space with confidence. Material Double bunk beds are available in a variety of materials. Solid wood is the strongest and most durable option, while metal is cheaper and a good option for those with a tight budget. Bunk beds are also available in particleboard and engineered wood. However, these types of wood don't last as long as solid wood and they may emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can affect children's immune, respiratory, or allergic systems. The height of the top bunk is an important factor to take into consideration when choosing a bunk bed. A bunk bed that is too high could cause people to fall off the top bunk, or hit their head on the rails. Generally the bunk bed should not be higher than six feet from the floor. This bunk bed with trundle has an elegant design and timeless aesthetic. The angular frame tucks neatly into the corner of your kids bedroom, and the space underneath can be utilized as a study space with desk or a relaxing retreat with plush throw pillows and an attractive comforter. This chic bunk bed is crafted of kiln-dried pine wood and sturdy engineered wood to provide long-lasting durability and strength. The bed is finished by hand with the finish of your choosing either white or seadrift. The bed's clean, modern lines are enhanced by polished nickel or oil rubbed bronze hardware. These bunks are a great option for kids who have outgrown their toddler or child's beds but aren't tall enough to fit into the standard twin beds. These bunks are also ideal for adults who wish to share a bedroom with a younger child or college student living in a tiny apartment. The twin-over-full bunk bed comes with a ladder and two drawers underneath the bed, which are ideal for storing clothing and bedding. As opposed to traditional bunk beds this one does not require a boxspring or foundation. Instead, the beds are stacked on top of each other and can accommodate either an old-fashioned or a memory foam mattress. Although memory foam mattresses are renowned for their comfort, they can be more expensive than innerspring or coil mattresses. Design Bunk beds are a great option for kids who share the same room. They can give more sleeping space while not taking up floor space. Bunk beds are available in a variety of designs and configurations, and many come with additional features such as desks that are built-in, stairs and trundles. While you can buy ready-made bunk beds in most major furniture stores but you can also construct a custom-designed bunk bed for your home to fit any room size and style. When choosing a bunk bed, you should take into consideration the floor space of your bedroom, as well as the height of the ceiling. Larger rooms can accommodate a larger mattress but smaller rooms will require twin mattresses to avoid the possibility of crowding. Also, you need to ensure that your children's heads will not be struck by the ceiling when they sleep on the top bunk. A standard bunk bed can be made with two twin-size mattresses, while some variations have full-size mattresses on the bottom and a twin on the top. These bunks are perfect for older children or siblings who share one room. They are a great choice for small bedrooms, as they can free up more floor space for other furniture pieces, such as dressers desks and toy boxes. Loft beds are another type of bunk bed that can be used as an playroom, office or a guest bed. They are available in a variety of finishes, ranging from classic to contemporary, and they are usually constructed with a sturdy wood construction. Some even come with built-in shelves to store books and other accessories. Another type of bunk bed is the L-shaped double bunk, which offers more privacy while sleeping and can be configured with a variety of styles to suit any bedroom. It's also very secure, as it has an integrated desk and staircase that has safety guardrails. This makes it an ideal choice for kids who have to finish their homework or engage in other activities while in bed.

This bunk bed offers more storage space and can hold more guests than a traditional bunk bed. Its large design is perfect for teens and can be tailored to match any decor or finish. Safety Although bunk bed injuries can occur however, they are typically caused by the way that kids use the beds, not the design or construction. Bunk beds can be used safely by children of all ages as long as they follow some basic safety precautions. Before you put together your bunk bed, determine where you'll place it and measure the dimensions of your room. This will help you determine if the bed will fit in there and will provide enough space for sleeping and playing. Be sure to check the ceiling's height to ensure that you don't place the bunk beds under ceiling lights or fans. Follow the guidelines that are provided by the manufacturer when making your bunk beds. This will ensure that all the components are correctly fitted and that your bed is solid. Examine all components regularly and replace any that appear damaged or worn out. Also, make sure that the ladders are secured to the bunk beds, and that they can support the weight of your child as well as any other guests who may sleep over. Another important safety tip is to teach your children the rules of bunk bed usage. The upper bunk should be used for sleeping, and not for games or jumping. The ladder should be secured to the bunk and should not be placed near any furniture or toys that might entice children to climb it. Children should also be taught how to climb the ladder with care and slowly. When building double bunk beds with stairs , take into consideration ladders that attach to the side of the bed instead of one that is underneath it. This will lower the risk of falling and getting caught in clothing or bedding. Also, think about installing an extra night light in the room near the bunk bed. This will allow your children to feel more secure when they are climbing into and out of the bed at night. It's also a good idea to examine the spaces and openings in the guardrails and mattress foundations prior to letting your children sleep in them. These openings shouldn't be wider than 5 inches and shouldn't be located in a place where your child's head might hit if they are seated in a straight position on the top bunk.
