Buying a Double Size Bunk Bed A bunk bed can bring both functionality and style to a bedroom. It's ideal for siblings sharing the bedroom or for teens who wish to invite their friends over for a night at. When shopping for a double-sized bunk bed, think about the height of the ceiling and whether you would like the bottom to be equipped with a trundle for extra guests. Find a ladder or step that is wide enough for teens and small children to climb. Size There are a variety of options to choose from when you're thinking of buying a bunk bed. There are many options such as twin over twin or twin over full or even triple bunk beds. These bunk beds are designed to accommodate two or more persons, so you can maximize your bedroom space without sacrificing safety or comfort. Bunk beds can also be disassembled into two separate twin mattresses, should it be required. This lets you reuse your bunk bed in the future, if your children no longer require it or 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 best for you. You can pick a standard twin mattress for the top bunk, or you can choose an XL twin mattress, which is 5 inches more than standard twin mattresses. This is a great option for teenagers as it provides them with extra length to accommodate sleepers who are taller. You can also opt for a futon style bunk bed, which features a pullout sofa that is located on the bottom frame. This gives more sleeping space to adults or teenagers. You should also think about the size of your bunk beds. If you purchase mattresses that are too high it could result in hitting your head against the ceiling when you lie down. A good rule of thumb is to ensure there's between six and eight inches of clearance between the mattress and the guard rail on the top, so sleepers can comfortably lie down. You may also want consider the size of your bunk bed ladder according to the dimensions of the room. The majority of bunk beds have straight ladders, but you can also purchase stairs-style or angled bunk bed ladders. Staircase ladders require more space but are safer than straight ladders. Bunk bed ladders are available in a variety of sizes and heights. This is useful when you have children that are growing and might require changing rooms. Material Double bunk beds are available in many different materials. Solid wood is the strongest and longest-lasting option, while metal is more affordable and a good option for buyers with a tight budget. Bunk beds are also available in engineered and particleboard wood. However, these kinds of materials don't last as long as solid wood and they could emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that could affect children's respiratory, immune or allergic systems. The height of the top bunk is another important aspect to consider when choosing a bunk bed. A bunk bed too high could cause people to fall from the top bunk, or even hit their head on the rails. A bunk bed is usually no higher than 6 feet above the floor. For a modern design this bunk bed with trundle pullout features elegant lines and a timeless style.

Memory foam mattresses are reputed to be comfortable, but they are more expensive than coil mattresses or innersprings. Design If your children share in a room the bunk beds could provide more sleeping space, but without taking up more floor space. Bunk beds come in a variety of designs and configurations, and many even come with extra features such as desks that are built-in, stairs and trundles. You can find ready-made beds in most major furniture stores. However you can make your own bunk bed to fit the size and style of your room. When deciding on a bunk bed, it is important to think about the space in your bedroom, as well as the ceiling's height. Larger rooms can accommodate a larger mattress and smaller ones require twin mattresses to prevent the possibility of crowding. Also, you need to ensure that your children's heads do not be hit by the ceiling when they sleep on the top bunk. A basic bunk bed can be constructed with two twin-sized mattresses, and some variants include full-sized 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 option for small bedrooms, as they free up floor space for other furniture pieces like dressers, desks and toy boxes. Other types of bunk beds include loft beds, which can be used as a playroom or office and can double as a bed when guests visit. These beds can be found in a variety of finishes, ranging from traditional to contemporary, and they are often designed with a sturdy wood construction. Some have built-in shelves for books or other things. The double bed with an L-shaped shape offers more privacy and can be adapted to fit in with any bedroom. It is also extremely secure to use, since it comes with a staircase that has safety rails as well as a built-in desk making it a great option for siblings who need to do their homework or perform other things in the bed. If you have a larger budget, you could opt for a double over queen bunk bed with a built-in staircase and a bed with a trundle. This bunk bed offers more storage space and can accommodate an even larger number of guests than the regular bunk bed. The spacious layout is perfect for teens, and it can be personalized with distinctive finishes and designs. Safety Although accidents to bunk beds can occur, the majority are due to the way kids use the beds, and not a result of the design or construction. With some basic safety guidelines, bunk beds can be safely used by kids of all ages. Before you assemble your bunk bed, determine the location you'll put it and then measure the dimensions of the room. This will allow you to determine if the bunk bed will fit and if there will be enough space to sleep or play. Also, make sure to examine the height of the ceilings and avoid placing the bed beneath ceiling fans or hanging lights. Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer when assembling your bunk beds. This will ensure that all components are correctly fitted and that your bed is sturdy. Replace any worn or damaged parts. Make sure the ladders on the bunk beds are safe and can support the weight of your child and any guests who may sleep over. Another important safety tip is to teach your children the rules of bunk bed use. For instance, the upper bunk is only for sleeping and shouldn't be used to play games or jump. The ladder should also be secured to the bunk and should not be placed near any furniture or toys that might entice children to climb it. In addition, children should be taught to climb up and down the ladder slowly and with care. When making your bunk bed take into consideration ladders that attach to the bed's side instead of one that is underneath it. This will reduce the chance of falling or getting caught up in bedding or clothing. Also, think about installing an evening light in the room near the bunk bed. This will give your children an increased sense of safety when they climb into and out of bed at the night. It's also a good idea for you to test the spaces and openings on the guardrails and the mattress foundations, before letting your children sleep on them. The ideal is for them to not be more than 5 inches in width and not located in the areas where children's heads could hit when sitting upright in the bunk above them.
