Size
Size is a key aspect to take into account when shopping 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 they have. When you are choosing a bunk bed you must also think about the type of mattress.

They're great for teens as well as college students and adults.
Full-size mattresses are used on the bottom bunk of full-over-full bunk beds. This is perfect for children and adults who are taller. The full-size bed measures 54 inches wide and 75 inches in length. A majority of these beds come with the trundle, which can be removed from under the bed to provide more sleeping space.
Some bunk bed sets feature loft beds that are twin-sized and can be divided into standalone beds. This is a great choice when you want to ensure the future of the bunk bed by separating the upper and lower beds or if your kids decide to move rooms in the near future.
There are also bunk beds that don't require a foundation or box spring as the frame raises the mattress. This is a great choice for families who are on a budget as it saves money and eliminates the requirement for a separate foundation or box spring.
The number of people that need to sleep on your bunk bed will also affect the choice of frame and mattress. Larger rooms can accommodate triple bunk beds or L-shaped beds. Smaller rooms are more suitable for twin over full or full over twin layout.
Style
Depending on the configuration a bunk bed with double mattresses can be able to accommodate children or adults. The standard bunk beds are stacked one on top of the other with the top bed accessible through a ladder. This arrangement is perfect for rooms that have small space, and makes the space more useful.

If you're looking to add more storage space for your bunk bed, search for a set that has drawers for clothes and other items. Some sets include desks that are built-in as well as a wooden board along the sides of the stairs that can be used to hang wall decor or artwork. Bunk beds with desks work well in bedrooms for children, but they can also be used as an additional bedroom or main bedroom of older kids and teenagers.
The color of your bunk bed can have a significant impact on the overall look of your room. For example, a white bunk bed will give an airy and light feel and dark wood bunk beds gives a more traditional or rustic vibe. If you plan to use bunk beds in a bedroom shared by children pick a paint finish that will be a perfect match for your furniture pieces. Bunk beds can be used to add the nautical theme, as seen in this bedroom designed by Kirsten Brockner Interiors, which features seashore-inspired bedding, blue and red stripes, and a staircase suitable for a cabin of a captain.

A bunk bed with twin beds with a stone-like finish that is neutral can easily be updated by adding a few throw pillows in different shades.
Safety
One of the main factors to consider when purchasing bunk beds is safety. Bunk beds pose danger if not built properly or if children don't follow the rules. It is important to determine the area you're planning to put the bunk bed and compare the dimensions of the frame with the dimensions of the mattress. This will help ensure that the mattress is a perfect fit and there is enough space for your child to climb into and out of bed without any problems.
Bunk Beds Store are an essential safety feature. They should be located on the top and bottom bunks. These should be a solid wood that is securely attached to the frame of the bunk. Additionally, any gaps, holes or openings on the frame of a bunk bed must be small enough to avoid children's legs, heads or torso from getting stuck in them. To prevent accidents from tripping, it is a good idea to ensure that any ladders and stairs used to climb up the bunk bed frame are either part of the frame itself or are.
Another safety tip to remember: Don't let children younger than six years old sleep on the top bunk. Most bunk bed-related injuries occur to children who aren't yet this age, and more than half of them occur due to falls. In addition, it's also a good idea to set clear rules for using the bunk bed, and to emphasize that the top bunk is not for jumping, playing or anything else.
Also, it's recommended to ensure that no belts, clothing or jump ropes are hanging from the frame of the bunk bed since they can be strangulation risks to children. You can buy clip on shelves that secure easily to the side of the bunk and give your child a space to store their night-time essentials so they don't need to get up out of bed to look for them in the dark.
Storage
Bunk beds are a great way to fit two people in a room without taking up too much space. The upper bed is usually accessible via a ladder, which is ideal for siblings sharing a bedroom, or family members who live in tiny apartment.
Bunk beds come in a variety of sizes, styles and shapes to suit any room. They can be made to meet the requirements of each sleeping individual. If, for example, one child prefers to sleep on the top of the bunk and the other one on the bottom one, the beds can be set up so that they face each the other. This allows for each person to have their own private space, while still being within the family.
Many owners of bunk beds enjoy the option to add under-bed storage drawers and trundles. These add-ons can be placed under the bunk bed to store clothing or blankets. These add-ons can also serve to create additional space for guests when they come to visit.
Trundles are also available for bunk beds as pull-out mattresses. These mattresses can be accessed with just one step and are located beneath the bottom bunk bed. This gives you an additional sleeping space when guests come over and eliminates the need for an air mattress.
Anyone who is considering purchasing a bunk bed must consider the safety features. It is important to look for side rails on the lower and upper bunks that help keep a child from rolling off the top bunk. It's also important to consider the amount of mattress you can comfortably fit on the upper bunk as a thick mattress can cause a sleeping child to roll off of the rails that guard them while asleep and hurt himself or herself.
Other options for safety include the type of ladder you choose for your bunk bed. Certain bunk beds have a long ladder that connects the upper and lower guard rails, whereas other types have a shorter ladder that attaches to the front of the upper guard rail. This is perfect for children because it makes climbing to the top bunk simpler and safer.
