It's important to be aware that a bunk bed with a higher level might require more space, especially if a child is in the top bunk.

Safety

Another important safety feature is the guard rails. They should be at a minimum of five inches tall, and extend along the entire length of the mattress.

It is also important to keep any sporting equipment from bunk beds, like skipping ropes, because they could pose strangulation hazards.

In addition, you should only allow one child to sleep in the bunk above until they reach the age of six years old and you have taken the necessary steps to ensure they can safely climb up and down the ladder every day.
