what is th distance between the two bunks? One comment says very tight.

I just measured the set I have and from the top of the bottom mattress to the bottom edge of the top bunk is just under 23 3/4"

Very tight! My 5 year old can sit up no problem, but my 8 yr old cannot. I was definetly disappointed once we put it all together because the picture looked like there was lots of room. Room and Board has a really great similar bunk with lots of room in between. Would I buy this again? probably not.

I love this bed. I bought two different brands and though this one was more expensive it has been great. Easy to put together, stable and never had any complaints about it being "tight". (I don't have exact measurements...I disassemble it for the summer... but will be reassembled in another week or so).

yes he does, I was thinking of getting some of that insulation stuff that goes around hot water pipes to wrap them in

I'd say the distance is typical for bunk beds - not a problem for us. Very happy with the overall quality of the product.

5 & 1/2 inches for the twin size, can't comment if the larger beds have a higher clearance.

I have two of these and they both fit under my girls regular twin size bunk bed (side by side) perfectly if that helps

We put a 13 inch mattress on both the top and bottom bunks. No problem at all. On the bottom there is still plenty of room, my 8 yr old sits up straight with room to spare under there. On the top bunk, the mattress is almost as high as the safety rails, so I wouldn't put a little kid up there who might roll out.

They can't be separated because the sides which holds the two bunks are 1 piece unlike some bunk beds which are basically 2 twin beds that sit on top of each other and have a peg system as a connector.

I think it would be very tight as most bunks are fairly high. You might go with a double-sized mosquito net.

I am sorry, I had purshaed that bunk for my grandson and it is not located in my home. I will send a note to my son-in-law and see if he can measure it.

I positioned this bed against the wall in my home and there is a 1 inch gap from mattress to wall. So I imagine at least 2 inches between the two mattresses.

A standard twin mattress is just a little bit short for the frame. I rolled up a quilt and tucked it into the gap and have had no problems. I'd estimate the gap is maybe 4 to 6 inches.

10 min the most. The two beds are overlaid. The bed posts on the bottom bed have some cilinders to hold the top bed in place. It is secure.

That never occurred to me before, but now that you mention it, the twin mattress we got at Ikea doesn't stretch all the way. It's probably about 5 inches short, but since my son uses the top bunk for stuffed animal storage mostly, it hasn't caused a problem.

Not sure, since we haven't opened the Starter Home yet. However, if you measure the height of the beds stacked on each other, I don't think they'll fit that way. You might have to separate the beds, rather than use them as bunks.

I got this bed for my son and just measured the side rail distance to the floor. It's about 8 inches, maybe a whisker less, so the storage boxes will need to be not too deep.

I bought a standard, regular full mattress for the 2 fulls and a standard, regular twin for the twin. I have to say the twin because it slides under is a little tight. I would probably recommend buying a bunk bed mattress.

I measured mine and have 53x74x6. It wasn't too easy measuring it while it was in the bunk, so my numbers might be off a tad, but hope it helps anyway :)

IT's not quite long enough to reach the floor for a regular bunk bed. And of course, if your regular bunk is metal framed, you'll have problems attaching it. I agree with Jo, if you have a staple gun and your bunk is wooden, fixing the curtains with the staples is a bit more sturdy.
