When shopping for a bunk bed with double bed size, size is a key aspect to take into consideration.

When choosing a bunkbed you must also think about the kind of mattress.

Twin over twin bunks can be able to accommodate standard twin mattresses measuring 39 inches wide by 75 inches long. You can consider twin XL mattresses if want a more luxurious mattress. These are five inches longer than normal twins and are ideal for college students, teenagers and adults.
Full over full bunk beds come with a full-size mattress on the bottom bunk, which is great for adults as well as children who are taller than average. The full-size mattress measures 54 inches wide and 75 inches long. A majority of these beds come with a trundle that pulls out from underneath the bed, providing an additional sleeping space for guests.
Some bunk bed sets have separate twin-sized loft beds that can be divided into separate beds. This is a great option for those who want to secure the bunk bed by segregating the lower and upper beds, or if the children decide to change rooms in the near future.
There are bunk beds that don't require foundation or box springs, as the frame of these beds elevates the mattress. This is an excellent option for families with a tight budget as it saves money and eliminates the necessity of an additional foundation or box spring.

Style
A bunk bed with a double mattress can be used by adults or children, based on the arrangement you select. Standard bunk beds are stacked one on top of one another and the top bed accessible via ladder. This arrangement is perfect for rooms with little space and makes the room more useful. Another option is a futon bunk, which is arranged like a standard bunk but has a lower Western-style futon couch that converts to a bed. The bunk bed can accommodate up to four people at once and is a great option for families with teenagers or college students.
If you're looking to add more storage for your bunk bed, look for a set with drawers for clothing and other items. Some sets come with a built-in desk and a wooden panel that is placed on the side of the stairs which can be used as a unique place to hang artwork or decor. Bunk beds that include a desk work well for children's rooms, but can also be used as an extra bedroom for guests or as the primary bedroom for older kids and teens.
The color of your bunk bed could influence the overall look of your room. A white bunk bed, for example can give the impression of airiness and lightness, while a bunk bed made from dark wood will give an authentic or traditional feel.

Safety
One of the biggest factors to consider when purchasing a bunk bed is safety. Bunk beds are dangerous in the event that they are not constructed properly or if the children don't follow the rules. You should take measurements of the space you intend to put the bunk bed and then compare the dimensions of the frame to the dimensions of the mattress. This will ensure that the mattress is a perfect fit and there is enough space for your child to get in and out of bed without any problems.
Guard rails are a key safety feature. They should be placed on the top and bottom bunks. These rails must be constructed of solid wood and fastened securely to the frame. Any gaps, openings or holes on the frame of the bunk bed must be small enough that children's legs, heads or torsos don't get trapped in them. To avoid tripping hazards it's a good idea to make sure that any ladders or stairs used to climb up the frame of the bunk bed are part of the frame itself or are.
Another safety tip to remember: Do not let children less than six years old sleep on the top bunk. The majority of bunk bed-related injuries occur to children who are less than six years old, and it is estimated that half of them result from falls. It is a good idea also, to establish clear rules for using the bunk bed, and to make it clear that the top bunk shouldn't be used for jumping or playing.
It is essential to ensure that no clothing, belts, or jump ropes hang from the frame of a bunk bed. They could pose an extremely strangulation risk for children. You can buy shelves that attach easily to the side of the bed and provide your child a place to store their nighttime essentials, so they don't need to get out of bed in the dark to search for them.
Stores
Bunk beds are a great option to accommodate two people in one room and not take up too much space. The bed's upper portion is typically accessible via a ladder which is perfect for children sharing bedrooms, or for family members living in small apartments.
Bunk bed frames come in various sizes and shapes that can be adapted to any space. They can be even modified to meet the requirements of the people sleeping. For instance for instance, if one child likes the top bed and the other wants the bottom bunk, the beds can be configured to face each one. This allows each person to have his or her own private space while still enjoying the comfort of being close to loved ones.
Many bunk bed owners also appreciate the possibility of adding under-bed storage drawers and trundles. These extras are placed underneath the lower bed and can be used to store blankets or clothing. They also give extra space to sleepovers for guests who visit.
Trundles are also available for bunk beds as pull-out mattresses. These mattresses are accessible via one step and are situated beneath the bottom bunk bed. This provides a comfortable place for a second sleeping person when guests are in and also eliminates the need to bring out an air mattress.
Safety features are essential for anyone thinking of buying bunk beds. You'll want to check for side rails on both the upper and lower 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 place on the upper bunk as a thick mattress can cause a sleeper to fall off of the guard rails while asleep and hurt himself or herself.
The type of ladder that you select for your bunk beds is an additional safety option. Certain 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 the best option for children, as it makes climbing up to the top bunk safer and easier.
