what is the difference between a junior bed and a twin bed? only the rail and weight limits?

I believe so because this bed takes a twin mattress. We have had this bed for almost a year and it supports my 4 year old and myself(130ish lbs) just fine every night when I lay with her to read. I have recently had to tighten up the bolts as my daughter jumps and wiggles a lot. This has been a great and sturdy bed! All the supporting slats are still perfect. Would by again

We personally did not like this mattress, but to answer your question. My granddaughter has gotten so very tall that she is now in what you would call a junior bed or a small twin bed and we use a Simmons Beauty Rest Med, Firm for her right now. Hope that helps, the important thing is to keep a bed guard up so they don't slip out of bed and as toddlers they seem to prefer a slightly softer bed than most adults can use , indulge them with a plush mattress for a while , it will change soon enough. Thanks for asking.

Most single/twin size beds usually have a weight capacity of about 200-250 lbs including the weight of the mattress. However, since it's a platform bed, you don't need a boxspring.

I would recommend a toddler bed rail for a bunk bed. Bunk beds will have a wider and longer mattress than a crib mattress. Usually the mattress on a bunk bed is thicker (higher) than a crib mattress as well. Meaning there would only be a few inches of rail sticking up past the mattress using a crib rail on a bunk bed. The higher toddler bed rail will compensate for the thicker mattress. The toddler bed rails will be longer and provide more coverage.

Hello -I am not able to give you the weight capacity but can tell you the bed has met all the ASTM safety requirements for weight capacity. My understanding is the bed is tested with 400 pounds for a short period of time. This does not mean you should put 400 pounds on the bed. In general, beds that meet the ASTM safety guidelines have a recommendation of about 200 pounds of distributed weight per sleeping surface. Of course this will depend on many factors such as kids being kids and jumping up and down in one concentrated area or the thickness and quality of the mattress. I hope this helps.Scott Hello -I am not able to give you the weight capacity but can tell you the bed has met all the ASTM safety requirements for weight capacity.

The bed is a standard twin bed. It was amazingly sturdy when we put it together. Quite a few slats holding up the mattress. I am over 250 lbs and it holds me quite nicely.

A regular twin mattress will be fine. We bought premium memory foam beds. One thing to note is that the height between mattress and second bunch is not that high so a thinner mattress on bottom bunk might be better. My 4 year old can easily bump her head getting out of bed.

No...I had to reorder because it broke after less than 1 week. They said they'd send me a stronger version but I got the same thing. And they only sent the rails. We had to do some stabilizing so the same thing wouldn't happen again & I only had a young child sleeping in the bed. There needs to be some support in the middle of the frame or this will continue to be a problem with this bed.

I bought the bed for a 5 yr old. Since the bed is slightly narrower than a standard twin, regardless of weight limit on the specifications, I would think someone over 150-160 would not be comfortable

I used An 8in mattress to and there's barely an inch or two left of the rail, especially if you use a bunky board. But my son never rolled over it and he's been sleeping in it since he was 3 1/2 (he's 5 1/2 now).

I don't know the weight limit - but having converted my daughter's Simplicity crib to a full-size with these Delta rails, it's as sturdy as the full-size we have from Ethan Allen. If you're wondering whether adults could use this as a bed, absolutely!

I am not sure the weight limit but I will tell you that we bought this a few months ago and not only is it beautiful, it is very well made and rich looking. It is solid and doesn't move around when we have climbed all over it. You would LOVE this bunk bed. It's gorgeous in person. :)

It was for my daughter & son in law. I do know #1 is the crib #2 is toddler bed. #2 Toddler bed has 4 sides you remove the one rail and replace it with a 5th sidebar rail. #3 the day bad you just use 3 sides. #4 is a headboard for a regular bed. That is what they told me. I have only seen it as a crib and everyone loves it. Hope this helped. :)

I purchased this for myself. The mattress is about 12 inches from the floor. I have about a 8" mattress with no box springs...for a younger child I would not use such a thick mattress. You can always us bed rails for awhile...I really love the bed .

we got a bunky board which was suggested since we were going to use bed rails and a box spring would have been too thick. For a child you don't need the box spring but for an adult I would suggest it. I love this bed. I have 2 daughters and we got the first bed for our oldest when she was out of the crib and now that our second daughter is out of the crib we got another of the exact bed. We did spend a bit more on good mattresses but they both love their beds.

Size of the bed does not matter. There is a piece that goes between the mattress and springs, and the bottom of the rail fits down on the mattress. Depth of the mattress doesn't matter either as there is a way to adjust the bed rail to fit snugly on any mattress.

Regular twin mattress. I used a bunk mattress & regret it. It's too hard & my child doesn't like to sleep on it.
