Size
Size is an important aspect to take into account when looking for a double bunk bed. Many children grow rapidly and it is possible that you will need to buy a new bunk bed before they outgrow the one you have. The type of mattress you select is also an essential consideration when selecting the bunk bed.

These mattresses are five inches taller than the standard twins. They’re ideal for teens, college students, and adults.

A majority of these beds have the trundle, which can be pulled out from underneath the bed to provide more sleeping space.

There are bunk beds without a foundation or box spring, because the frame elevates the mattress. This is a great option for families who are on a budget since it can save money and eliminates the need for an additional foundation or box spring.
The number of people that must sleep with on the bunk bed double and twin bed will determine the frame and mattress. Larger rooms can accommodate triple bunk beds or L-shaped bunk beds. Smaller rooms are more suited to a twin over full or full over twin arrangement.
Style

Some sets have a built in desk and a wooden panel on the bottom of the stairs that can be used to hang wall decor or even art. Bunk beds that have a desk work well for children’s rooms, but can also be used as an extra bedroom for guests or as the main bedroom of older kids and teens.
The color of the bunk bed may also impact the overall look of your room. A white bunk bed, for instance will give a sense of lightness and airiness, while a bunk bed constructed from dark wood will give an authentic or traditional style.

Safety
One of the main concerns when buying bunk beds is safety. Bunk beds are dangerous in the event that they are not constructed properly or if the children don’t adhere to the rules. You should determine the area you plan to place the bunk bed, and compare the dimensions of the frame with the dimensions of the mattress. This will ensure that your mattress is perfectly sized and that there is enough clearance for your child to climb into and out of bed with no issues.
A crucial safety feature to look for is guard rails on the bottom and top bunks. The rails that guard the bed should be made of solid wood and attached securely to the frame. Any gaps, openings or holes on the frame of the bunk bed must be sized so that children’s legs, heads or torsos cannot get stuck in them. It’s also an excellent idea to make sure that any ladders or steps used to climb up and down the bed are either part of the frame or that they’re securely fastened to it to avoid them becoming loose and causing an accident hazard.
Another important safety rule is to never allow children younger than six to sleep on the top bunk. Most bunk bed-related injuries occur to children younger than this age, and more than half of them result from falls. In addition to that, it’s also recommended to establish specific rules regarding the use of the bunk bed and stress that the top bunk isn’t to be used for playing, jumping or anything else.
Finally, it’s a good idea to ensure that no belts, clothes or jump ropes are hanging from the frame of the bunk bed since they could pose serious strangulation dangers to children. You can purchase clip on shelves that can be easily attached to the side of the bed and provide your child a place to keep their night time essentials so they don’t have to get up out of bed to find them in the dark.
Storage
Bunk beds permit two people to sleep in a room without consuming the floor space. The bed’s upper portion is typically accessible via a ladder which is ideal for families with children sharing the bedroom, or for family members living in small apartments.
Bunk beds come in many sizes, styles and shapes to fit into any space. They can be adapted to meet the requirements of each person sleeping. For example for Double bed with bunk above instance, if one child likes the top bunk while another prefers the bottom bunk The beds can be arranged to face each one. This lets each person have his or her personal space while having the comfort of being close to family members.
Many bunk bed owners like the option of adding under-bed storage drawers and trundles. These are positioned underneath the lower bed and can be used to store blankets or clothing. They also offer extra space for sleepovers during visits from guests.
Trundles are also available for bunk beds as pull-out mattresses. They can be accessed with just one step and are located under the bottom bunk bed. This provides an additional sleeping space for guests who are visiting and eliminates the requirement for an air mattress.
Safety features are essential for anyone considering purchasing bunk beds. Check for side rails in the lower and upper bunks to keep children from falling off the top bunk. It’s also important to consider the thickness of a mattress you can comfortably fit on the upper bunk because a too thick mattress can cause a sleeper to roll off of the guard rails in the middle of sleep and hurt him or herself.
The kind of ladder you choose for your bunk beds is another safety option. Some types of bunk beds have a long ladder that connects the upper and lower guard rails, whereas other types offer a shorter ladder that is attached to the front of the upper guard rail. This is ideal for children as it makes climbing to the top bunk easier and more secure.
