Thinking of getting a bunk bed? The choices and details can be overwhelming. Read our quick and easy 5-point primer before you buy, and enjoy your new bed!
- Twin |75"X39"
- TwinXL | 80"X39"
- Full | 75"X54"
Height considerations: There should be clearance for a person to sit up straight in the top bunk – a minimum of 30 inches is recommended by the Consumer Product Safety Commission(and, we tested that number, and I am 5’ 5” and would bang my head unless the clearance was 35”, or so). In a room with an 8-foot ceiling (96 inches), the top of the mattress should be approximately 66 inches from the floor.
- Standard bunks in twin, twinxl or full (with parallel or perpendicular beds)
- Twin over full
- Workstation bunks with desks
- Futon bunks provide leisure and sleeping spots
- Lofts (these fall into bunk bed category and regulation if the mattress foundation is more than 30 inches above the floor)
- Polystyrene foam mattresses - offer firm to mid-firm comfort, and are available in a range of thicknesses. They are less durable than many mattresses and the foam can crumble.
- Innerspring mattresses – Interlaced innerspring is the most widely used support type. Generally comfortable and durable.
- Innerspring mattress with individually wrapped coils – (AKA Marshal or Pocketed coils). These are individually wrapped and not interlaced so they conform better to the body and separate motion between partners.
- Memory Foam mattresses –Polyurethane foam conforms to the body and provides increased support.
- Latex mattresses– Latex is from the rubber tree, and is generally used as a comfort layer in the mattress, known for its durability.
- Gel mattresses– The newest thing on the market, offering comfort, pressure relief and heat regulation.
- Go simple! The easiest option is the no-tuck solution: a quilt and duvet cover.
- Use QuickZip! – the only sheet designed for bunk beds. Make changing easy so that you can have a beautiful and comfortable bed – even 66 inches off the ground!
Bed must have continuous guardrails on both sides of the top bunk. The gaps in the guardrails should be 3.5 inches or smaller to prevent strangulation. Guardrails need to extend at least 5 inches above the mattress top to prevent falls (in most cases, mattress plus the foundation should be less than 8 inches thick End structures must be 5 inches above top of mattress for at least half the distance Check that the mattress foundation is strong and that the right mattress size is used. Keep the top bunk away from ceiling fans or lights. Do not attach belts, scarves or ropes to the bunk bed. This can lead to strangulation. Do not allow children under age 6 on the top bunk, and limit horseplay
