They're five inches bigger than normal twins and are ideal for teenagers, college youth, and even adults.

Many of these beds have a trundle, which can be removed from under the lower bed to provide more sleeping space.

There are also bunk beds without a foundation or box spring, because the frame elevates the mattress. This is a great option for families with an extremely tight budget, since it removes the need for foundations or box springs.
The number of people who must sleep with on the bunk bed will influence your choice of frame and mattress. Larger rooms can accommodate triple, L-shaped, or trundle bunk beds, smaller rooms are suitable for a twin over full or twin over full layout.
Style
A bunk bed with two mattresses can accommodate kids or adults, depending on the arrangement you select. Standard bunk beds are stacked one over one another and the top bed accessible via ladder.

Some sets come with an integrated desk and a wooden panel on the bottom of the stairs, which can be used to hang wall decorations or even art. Bunk beds that have desks are ideal for bedrooms for children, but they can also be used as a guest bedroom or the principal bedroom for older children and teenagers.

Safety

It is essential to determine the area you'd like to put it and check the dimensions of the frame against the measurements of your mattress. This will ensure that the mattress is perfectly fitted and that your child is able to get in and out of the bed without any difficulties.
Guard rails are a key safety feature. They should be placed on the top and bottom bunks. These should be a solid wood and securely fastened to the frame of the bunk. Any gaps, openings or holes on the frame of the bunk bed should be sized so that children's heads, legs or torsos cannot get caught in the gaps. It's also recommended to ensure that any stairs or ladders used to climb up and down the bed are either part of the frame or are securely attached to it to prevent them from becoming loose and causing a tripping hazard.
Another important safety tip is to Do not let children less than six years old sleep on the top bunk. Most injuries related to bunk beds occur to children who aren't yet this age, and more than half result from falls. It's a good idea, also, to establish clear guidelines for the use of the bunk bed, and to emphasize that the top bunk should not be used for bouncing or playing.
It's also recommended to ensure that no belts, clothing or jump ropes are hanging from the frame of the bunk bed as they could pose serious strangulation dangers to children. You can buy shelves that can be easily clipped to the sides and give your child somewhere to store their essentials for the night and not have to leave their bed in the dark to search for them.
