Kids Santa Cruz Gray Full/Full Step Bunk Bed

No box spring is required for this bunk bed. It features a sturdy, built-in slat support system designed to hold mattresses directly. Using a standard box spring is actually discouraged, as the added height would sit too close to the top of the guardrails, compromising the safety of the top sleeper. For the best fit, we recommend using a standard bunkie board if extra mattress support is desired.

Due to the side-access staircase, this bed has an elongated footprint of 99.5 inches in length. While it requires more wall space than a ladder-access model, it is an ideal solution for safely maximizing vertical space. For the comfort and safety of the sleeper on the top bunk, we recommend a minimum ceiling height of 8 feet to ensure adequate headroom above the mattress.

Following standard safety guidelines, the top bunk is recommended for children aged 6 and older. The integrated step design of this bunk bed provides a broader, more stable surface for climbing compared to a traditional vertical ladder, making it a safer and more confident choice for children navigating the bed at night.

A full-over-full configuration is an excellent long-term investment for families with growing children or teenagers. At 59 inches wide, both the top and bottom bunks offer the same sleeping surface as a standard full-size bed, providing the necessary room for older kids to sleep comfortably without outgrowing the furniture in a few years.

To maximize sleeping capacity, this bed is designed to accommodate a matching trundle (sold separately) that slides neatly underneath the bottom bunk. This makes it a versatile setup for vacation homes or siblings who frequently host sleepovers, effectively providing three beds within the footprint of one.

This bed is designed to maximize bedroom organization by integrating storage drawers directly into the side staircase. These built-in drawers provide a dedicated space for clothing, toys, or extra linens, which is especially helpful in smaller rooms or shared spaces where floor real estate is at a premium.
