My sons have a bunk bed and their mattress is 5" foam, can this be installed at the bottom bunk bed?

It should work fine. I wouldn't think the depth of the mattress would be as much of a factor as the width of the mattress and the space between the mattress and wood framing of the bunk.

This bed is for children. I replaced the thin wooden slats with 1 by 4 lumber, and placed a sheet of 3/8 inch plywood over the slats. The slats are secured into the side rails with screws so they will not slip out of place. A person of over 100 pounds should occupy the lower bunk.

Mine is on a captain's bed, but I think this mattress would be great for a bunk bed, since it has such a low profile.

We used the slates the bed comes with. We did not purchase a bunkie board but twin size should work the bed is a standard twin.

I can't imagine why not. There are small pins holding the top bunk in place. The only issue I foresee is that rails on the twin XL are part of the structure, so you might have to leave those on, which could be a nuisance if used separately.

the bottom bunk can be removed or not used at all. although it may effect bed stability. haven't tried myself. but i could see it working.

We have just a mattress but I think if there were a boxspring the head room would be too small to be comfortable. Right now my children and I can sit up on the bottom bunk (I am 5'2"). My husband, who is taller cannot sit up.

Any mattress works for the bottom bunk, but for the top you dont want to have a mattress that has a pillow top on it

I am 5'2" and I easily clear the bottom of the bed. A mattress was not included with our bunk bed. Instead, I had a piece of cheap wood cut at Lowes, stapled an old sheet to the wood(so wood pieces and dust would not go everywhere), and bought a thick memory foam mattress topper from Walmart. This beats any flimsy bunk mattress! My daughter sleeps blissfully. As an added bonus, there is much more of the railing exposed so my daughter can sleep safely.

I didn't . I just bought two 12" memory foam mattresses and threw them on. Works great, although 10" mattress would fit better for top bunk.

No, its not long enough to do that. It will work if the person on the bottom of the bunk uses it for themselves though.

No. The bottom bed is a twin. There are a few extra inches on either side of the bottom bunk, but not enough to fit a double bed.

We put an 8" mattress on the top bunk. The railing goes about 6 inches higher than the mattress.

I am not sure how deep your mattress is. But the deeper the mattress the less height the rails will be above the top of the mattress.

The bunk has bars that go vertical and support a matress. I have used a regular matress. The space between the top and bottom is kind of limited.

Yes you can use a 5 or 6 " memory foam mattress. I used a 6" mattress it works just fine.

Yes a twin size mattress will fit on the floor underneath the bunk bed. That is what we did for our grand children. You can only put a mattress...it would be too crowded for box spring and mattress. Works great for little kids. I would not recommend it for bigger kids (12 and older).
