Size
A bunk bed is a fantastic option to free up space in the bedroom. This is a great solution for multiple children sharing the same space or if your home needs to accommodate guests. Bunk beds are typically built one over the other and are accessible through the ladder. They can be made of wooden or metal and come in different sizes to suit your space. The size of bunk beds is determined by the mattress size and the frame style. Traditional twin-over-twin bunks can accommodate traditional twin mattresses whereas modern bunk beds typically include roomier full-size mattresses. Trundle, trundle-like or L-shaped beds can accommodate a queen or King-sized mattresses for those who want more space for sleeping.
Most bunk beds require 33 to 36 inches between the bottom and upper bunk mattresses. It is important to keep in mind that a higher bed may require more space, especially if a child is sleeping in the top bunk. In addition, a high bunk isn't easy to climb up and down, especially for younger kids. Many parents choose to purchase a bunk bed which can be divided into lofted beds. These beds also have the benefit of more privacy for children and giving them the ability to alter the height as they get older.

Safety

Guard rails are a crucial security feature. They should be a minimum of five inches high and should be on all sides the mattress. There should be no gaps or openings in the wall or mattress that a child's head body or limbs might get caught in as they could pose serious strangulation risks.
