What Size is a Bed Bunk Mattress?
In the past, bunk beds could only hold twin mattresses. But today’s new styles feature both twin and full mattresses, and combinations thereof! A twin over full bunk bed features a twin mattress as the top bunk and a full mattress on the bottom. This type of bunk bed is perfect for kids who have a wide gap in age or have different bed needs. If you have an only child, this type of bunk is also perfect if your child wants a fun day bed that they can display toys and pillows on. Full over full bunk beds and twin over twin bunk beds are classic options featuring bunks made of the same size. These space-saving beds are great for children to grow into. But remember the Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends that top bunks should not be used for children under 6 years of age.

Different Bunk Bed Finish Material?
Depending on the bunk bed style, there are several finishes you can purchase. Metal bunk beds are rarely left in their raw unprotected state. Generally, they are powder coated or sprayed with metallic finishes that help keep the durable metal strong and rust-resistant. Wood bunk bed finishes come in a spectrum of shades and styles. From rich mahogany to classic white to navy blue, these beds come in a variety of stains and paints that will complement your child’s unique aesthetic.

Should I Invest in a Kids’ Bunk Bed?
Is your child begging you for a bunk bed? Is your kids’ room cramped and in desperate need of extra floor space? Do you need extra sleeping areas for play dates and sleepovers? A bunk bed might be the perfect addition to your home. Bunk beds come in the usual style with two mattresses but there are also lofted bed options that can be used for a desk area or an entertainment space. Like space-saving bunk beds, loft beds for kids are perfect for adding more organization and storage to a room, giving you and your child more opportunities to add pops of personality into the space. Use decorative nightstands and shelving to add a more grown-up flair to the room, or deck out the additional floor space for activities like indoor soccer, basketball and dance.
