My six year old son is wanting bunk beds for Christmas, I was just wondering if you could use twin mattresses on the beds instead of those bunkie board pad things. The bed we are gonna purchase come with slats as a foundation for the mattresses. I just want it to be safe cause his brother which is 2 hopefully will start sleeping on the bottom bunk.
You should be able to get your choice of several diff beds For instance if the children are small then you may want to go with 1 piece bunkies then when they get bigger in a few years you could get the bunkies with the base boards separate. then in a few more years you could go with deluxe bunkies and use the same base boards or go with 3/3 mattress and box springs when they are teens by that time they will not want them stacked anymore. Get some well built bunk beds and they will last till college and beyond.Before the beds ever go on they put these steel wire braces underneith the bunkies so the chances of them falling through are pretty slim.
Yes you can buy 2 box springs and the top mattress for both beds if the beds come with the correct foundation.
