Metal Bunk Bed Full Over Full

About this piece

Two beds in one footprint, which is the whole argument for a bunk in a small room. Put together it stands 56.3 in wide by 77.5 in deep by 63 in high.

Underneath the finish it is built from steel frame, 22 slats across the deck. For storage there are 12.2 in of clearance underneath.

Guard rails on the upper deck stand 11.2 in above the sleeping surface, and rail height is measured from the top of the mattress rather than from the deck.

Two or three smaller things: anti-tip hardware is in the box and the instructions call for it to be fitted and the slat bearings are damped, which is where bed noise comes from.

Every bed page here states the three numbers that decide how a frame lives: slat spacing, total weight capacity and the clearance under the frame. Slat spacing matters most, because a mattress warranty usually requires slats no more than about three inches apart, and a frame that fails that quietly voids the mattress rather than the frame. The rest of the room is on bedroom, and how to choose a size is worked through in The Bed Frame Guide: Slats, Storage and Why Beds Squeak.

Where a figure is missing from the table above, it is missing from the manufacturer’s documentation rather than from this page. The rest of the iPormis bedroom range is written to the same rule.
