Safety

Guard rails are a crucial safety feature. They must be at least five inches high and should run on all sides of the mattress. There should be no gaps, holes, or openings on the mattress or wall in which a child's head or torso might get trapped. These can be dangerous strangulation risks.

It is also important to make sure that your children do not hang anything on their bunk beds, especially scarves and belts. These can get tangled up and create a significant danger of strangulation.

Last but not least it is recommended that you only allow one child to sleep in the upper bunk until they reach the age of six years old and you have taken steps to ensure they can safely climb up and down the ladder every day. It is also an excellent idea to put the ladder until nighttime so that small children cannot climb it and possibly fall from the bunk bed. Remember to regularly inspect the bunk bed for damage or wear and tear that could lead to an accident.
