    The Ultimate Guide to Bunk Bed Mattress Sizes

    by Landhill Beds August 10, 2023



    Upgrade Your Bunk Bed with the Perfect Mattress

    Bunk beds are every parent's dream - they maximize space and make sleepovers more exciting for kids. But choosing the right mattress for your bunk bed can be overwhelming. Don't worry, we're here to help. In this guide, we break down the different bunk bed mattress sizes and give you everything you need to know to make the perfect choice.



    Avoid Common Mistakes and Ensure Safety

    Purchasing the wrong mattress size can lead to safety hazards like mattresses extending beyond the guardrails or gaps between the guardrails and bedding. But don't worry, we've got you covered. By understanding the different bunk bed types and their corresponding mattress sizes, you can rest assured knowing that your bunk bed is safe and comfortable.



    A Breakdown of Bunk Bed Mattress Sizes

    We've done the research so you don't have to. Here's a summary of the most common bunk bed mattress sizes:

    • Twin over Twin: Fits two standard twin size mattresses, measuring 38 inches wide and 75 inches long.
    • Twin XL over Twin XL: Provides extra legroom with mattresses that are 38 inches wide and 80 inches long.
    • Full over Full: Offers additional space to stretch out with mattresses that are 53 inches wide and 75 inches long.
    • Twin over Full: Perfect for siblings sharing a room, with a twin size mattress on top and a full size mattress on the bottom.

     

    But Wait, There's More!

    Believe it or not, you can even find bunk beds in king and queen sizes. With a queen size measuring 60 inches wide and 80 inches long, and a king size measuring 76 inches wide and 80 inches long, even adults can enjoy the benefits of a bunk bed.

    Important Factors to Consider. When choosing your bunk bed mattress, there are a few important factors to keep in mind:

    • Thickness: Opt for a low profile mattress, ideally 6 to 8 inches thick, to ensure it fits within the guardrails and provides enough headroom.
    • Weight: Choose a lightweight mattress for the top bunk to prioritize safety and check the maximum weight capacity of your bunk bed.
    • Cooling Technology: If you're concerned about heat on the top bunk, look for a mattress with cooling technology to regulate body temperature throughout the night..


    Upgrade Your Bunk Bed Today with the Perfect Mattress. Don't settle for anything less than the best. Choose the right mattress size for your bunk bed and create an unforgettable sleep experience for your kids.
