Safety

It is essential to take measurements of the space where you'd like to put it and then compare the dimensions of the frame against the dimensions of your mattress. This will ensure that your mattress is a perfect fit and there is enough space for your child to climb into and out of bed without difficulties.

Guard rails are an essential safety feature. They should be located on the top and bottom bunks. These should be a solid wood that is securely attached to the frame of the bunk.

It's also recommended to ensure that any ladders or stairs used to climb up and down the bed are either part of the frame itself or that they're securely fastened to it to avoid them coming loose and creating a tripping hazard.

Another crucial safety tip is to never allow children under the age of six to sleep on the top bunk. The majority of injuries resulting from bunk beds happen to children under this age, and more than half result from falls. It's a good idea, also, to establish clear guidelines for the use of the bunk bed, and to stress that the top bunk should not be used for bouncing or playing.
