How to Use a Bunk Bed for Additional Storage?
Bunk beds are typically found in children’s rooms when the room is small and two children need to share a room. The beds stack on top of each other providing individual space for both kids. Bunk beds can also be a lifesaver in homes where the closets are full and storage is in short supply. The extra bunk on top can be used to organize and store just about anything, and since there is a ladder up to the top bunk, retrieving the items is usually easy. When buying a bunk bed for storage, try to buy a bed set that does not come with mattresses. All beds have standard sizing, and buying one mattress is less expensive than buying two. Bunk beds that that come with extra storage beneath the mattress is another way to nearly double the storage capacity that a bunk bed provides. The draws are below the bed’s platform, and placing the bunk bed set in the room to make sure that the drawers can be opened from both sides will greatly improves its usefulness. Just about anything can be stored on the top bunk, from boxed items to bags of out-of-season clothes. Putting lighter weight objects will make retrieval easy. Using boxes with clear lids will help identify the contents faster, or the box could be labeled which would help make finding stored items faster. Most top bunk beds have rails to keep the sleeper from rolling out, and those rails also keep the contents of the top bunk from falling out, as well. In the interest of aesthetics, once all the items that need to be stored are in the top bunk bed, a bedspread or decorative sheet can be placed over the bed and tucked in at the sides, just as a normal bedspread would be. The bedspread could match the spread on the lower bunk or it could be a different one that would bring more color and texture to the room.

How to Choose the Best Bunk Beds for your Budget?
Although some people may cling to the vision of rows of rickety bunk beds in their summer camp’s cabins, contemporary bunk beds can be attractive, sturdy, comfortable, and space-saving alternatives to the traditional single or double bed. There are some simple guidelines that you can follow in order to select the best bunk beds to fit your taste, needs, and budget. Prior to browsing through your local furniture store, it can be helpful to first ask yourself the following questions: 1. How much money am I willing to spend on the bunk beds? (Note: Related expenses may include bunkie, boards, mattresses, shipping, manual labor, etc). Metal frames are typically cheaper than wooden; beds with built-in dressers or desks are more costly than simpler models. A pre-owned bunk bed, one purchased at a freight or big-box store, or a bunk bed you build yourself, will be less expensive than new, name-brand models from high-end furniture stores. For those with more refined tastes and bigger wallets, there are many small companies that will custom-build the bunk bed of your dreams. 2. How much space can I allot to the beds? Check placement of windows, doors, closets, radiators, as well as the ceiling height, to determine how much square footage you can devote to the bed itself. Styles - and dimensions - of bunk beds vary, from twin-over-twin, to twin-over-full, to full-over-full, to twin-over-futon couch. 3. Will the bed be used by multiple individuals on a full-time or part-time basis, and in what environment? If you plan to reserve the beds for occasional guests in a rustic cabin setting, you may wish to opt for a very basic metal or simple wooden frame. If your two young children will be utilizing these beds on a daily basis for the next ten years, then a more solid, attractive wooden bed may be your best bet. Once you have answered the above questions, you’re ready to start shopping! Make sure to check online and local stores to find the best deal the best bunk beds for your budget and lifestyle.

Do you need a box spring with a platform bed that has slats 16 inches apart?
Yes. The mattress will sag between the slats. An unsupported mattress will not only lose its integrity, it can cause problems with your back, not to mention your sleep. Mattress warrantees may also be voided if not supported by a proper foundation. Many people purchase platform beds for their low profile. If a mattress and foundation set makes the bed higher then desired, there are low profile foundations available to put under the mattress. If any foundation rises the mattress higher then desired, a plywood deck may be used. Be sure to check your manufacturer warrantee on the use of decking. If all the above fails, there are mattresses available that have a frame build into the bottom of the mattress. These mattresses are widely used for bunk beds in twin and full sizes. Other than low profile, the other reason people buy platform beds is because it saves money on box spring. before saying no, i would suggest you give it a try, see if there is a sagging problem or if you will have trouble sleeping at night. If none of that happens, then a box spring may not be needed. Of course, if you have the budget and don't mind spending another $300, then buying a matching box spring is always a good idea.
