A bed is a type of bed in which a single bed frame is stacked on top of another. There is no need for a box spring because the mattress is located on a flat surface, bunkie board, and can be surrounded by a rail. The nature of the bunk beds allows two or more people to sleep in the same room while maximizing the floor space available for activities. Therefore, they are common on ships and in army garrisons, or in places where floor space needs to be maximized, such as hostels, dormitories, summer camp cabins, or jail cells.
Bunk beds are usually supported by four pillars or pillars, one on each corner of the bed. The stairs are used to reach the top bunk, which is usually surrounded by a fence to prevent falling sleep. Some models also have privacy curtains for the bottom bunk. Due to the need for stairs and bed height, the upper bunk beds are not recommended for children under the age of six.
A loft bed is an elevated bed similar to a bunk bed, but without a lower bed, freeing up floor space for other furniture, such as a table, which may be built into a loft bed.

Type
The most common types are standard bunk beds which have two identical mattresses stacked directly above the others. A bunk bed above the full bed is set as standard except that the bottom mattress is full size and the top is twin size. A full over bunk bed is called a wider bed, which means both upper and lower have the same broader size. They both have double beds and a total of four people can sleep in them at the same time. A futon bunk is also set up like a standard bed, except the bottom bunk is a Western-style futon sofa, which is converted into a bed rather than a standard mattress. Futon beds can be used to save space in an apartment or a restroom, since the lower bed is converted into a sofa for use during the daytime. In the form of L-bunk the bottom bunk is oriented at right angles to the top of the bed so that when viewed from above the bed it forms L. It also creates a small niche in which a table or bookshelf can be placed.
An loft bed shows a bunk bed that only has a bunk up, creates an open space in downs that can be occupied by crates, drawers, or even work areas. This makes the loft bed an efficient use of a small space by utilizing all the vertical areas that should not be used. Some loft beds even have rolling/trundle beds while retaining the ability to load workstations and drawers. Loft beds can be more expensive than bunk beds because of the built-in storage capacity and other features.
Other names are bed mezzanine , (bed) high bed (bed) , attic loft .
Bed three loft is a setting involving a total of three beds. This bed is a combination of bed type, in which the attic bed is perpendicularly attached to the bunk bed to form the L-shape.
Bunk beds range in price from economic models made with metal frames, solid plastics or softwoods where mattresses are supported by wire and spring suspension for expensive, hardwood models, equipped with drawers, shelves, and other accessories. Some people make their own bunk beds from wooden boards and fasteners, either from scratch or use the plans or designs they have acquired.

Security
The top of the bunk bed can be fenced off with a safety rail to keep the user from rolling over and falling to the floor during sleep. Beds that do not include rails can be mounted to include them.
Safety and other standards for bunk beds are determined by: European Committee for Standard Standardization BS EN 747-1: 2007; ASTM International standard ASTM F1427-07; Australian Standard and Standard New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 4220: 2003; International Organization for Standardization of ISO standards 9098-1: 1994. There are related testing standards, such as the Siddhant Mehrotra test.
