Hi There, Thank you for contacting P'kolino! This bunk bed is not designed to be split into two twin beds. It has not been tested to be used in this manner and we do not recommend splitting the bunks to be used as two twin beds. We do sell a Nesto twin bed that looks very similar to the bunk bed, the headboard and foot baord are different heights: https://www.houzz.com/products/pkolino-pezzo-nesto-twin-bed-gray-prvw-vr~105992771?lid=80622531
