Then You've Found Your Bunk Bed With Double Bed ... Now What?

Buying a Double Size Bunk Bed

A bunk bed can add design and function to a bedroom. It's the perfect choice for siblings sharing a room, or teens looking to let their friends sleep over.

Be aware of the ceiling height of the room when looking for a double-sized bunk bed. Also, decide whether you want the lower bunk with a trundle to ensure that additional guests can sleep on it. Choose a step or ladder that is large enough for teens and small children to climb.

Size

If you're thinking of purchasing bunk beds for your home, there are plenty of alternatives available. There are numerous options such as twin over twin or twin over full or even triple bunk beds. These bunk beds can sleep two or more people. This lets you maximize your bedroom space while maintaining security and comfort.

You can repurpose the bunk bed if your children do not use it anymore or you want to save on headboards and foundations.

When choosing a mattress for your bunk bed, it's important to keep in mind that the dimensions of your bunk will determine what kind of mattress you should choose. You can opt for a twin-sized mattress for your top bunk, or a twin mattress that is 5 inches longer. This is a great option for teenagers as it gives them extra length to accommodate larger sleepers.

Material

Double bunk beds are available in a variety of materials. Solid wood is the most durable and solid option, while cheaper metal is a good alternative for those with a tight budget. Bunk beds are also available in particleboard and engineered wood. However, these kinds of materials don't last as long as solid wood and they could emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which could cause harm to children's immune, respiratory, or allergic systems.

Before assembling your bunk bed, you must decide where you're going to place it, and measure the dimensions of your room.

You might consider putting a ladder to the side of your bunk bed instead of one beneath. This will decrease the risk of slipping or getting caught up in clothing or bedding. Consider installing a nightlight in the room next to the bunk bed. This will give your kids a better sense of security when they climb in and out of bed at the night.

It's an excellent idea to test the spaces and openings on the guardrails, and in the mattress foundations, before letting your children sleep on them. Ideally, they should not be more than 5 inches in width and not located where your children's heads might be struck when they sit upright in the upper bunk.
