Why Twin over Full Bunk Beds Work for Kids, Teens & Adults

Bunk beds are practical sleeping solutions for several reasons - they accommodate many, don't take up a lot of space and make sleepovers and sharing a room fun. But the best part of specifically owning a twin over full bunk bed or a twin over queen bunk bed is that it accommodates everyone in the family. With different size bunks on the top and bottom, there are options for comfortably hosting kids, teens and adults - all in one room! 

Benefits of Owning a Twin over Full Bunk Bed 

There are many reasons why we love twin over full bunk beds. One of the biggest benefits of owning this style verses a twin over twin bunk bed is that the bottom bed is larger as a full size. That's extra space for parents to snuggle with kids at night for story time. Kids appreciate this for easing their way into bedtime, and teens love twin over full size bunks as they typically sleep on the top bunk but convert the bottom bunk into a hangout space or reading nook. They often choose the extra long (XL) size now available for more legroom. 

Adults enjoy how twin over full bunk beds are airy and spacious, so they don't feel like a traditional “stacked” sleeping quarters. There's lots of room to spread out on the full bottom bed. Maxtrix twin over full bunk beds are rock solid, sturdy and made to withstand up to 800 pound, making it a perfect solution for sleeping many in tight spaces like hunting cabins or vacation homes. Plus, XL or Queen Bunks feature an additional metal cross bar that makes these beds even stronger – withstanding up to 2000 lb’s of weight per bed (that’s almost 1 ton)!  

Twin Over Full Bed Considerations

If you're sold on the design of staggered bunk beds, know all of your configuration options available. Bunk beds have changed over time with more sizes and solutions for different ages and spaces. First, make a list of who might sleep in the room. Are you accommodating children only? Teenager or college student? Need an extra bed for possible sleepovers and guests? What about a spare bedroom that might need to sleep a whole family? Knowing who you are providing accommodations for will help you choose the right bunk bed size as they start with twin and go up to Twin XL, Full,  Full XL and Queen.

Also, keep in mind your entrance types. While angled ladders in the front are most common, more options include straight ladders off the footboard or stairs with handrails. If more storage space is needed, opt for the staircase as each step is a pullout, hardwood dresser drawers. Can't decide - check out ladders vs. stairs and figure out which is right for you.
