Also ensure that the ladder is free of clutter and toys that could lead to tripping and strangulation. It is also recommended to keep a nightlight next to the ladder to allow children to locate it easily in the darkness.

Another factor that could affect security is the size of the mattress for the top bunk. It is essential that the mattress on the top bunk doesn't raise the sleeping surface to a level that the safety rail gets in the way. In general, the upper mattress should not be higher than 5 inches higher than the guard rail. It is also a great idea to buy mattresses designed specifically for bunk beds. They are more durable than single mattresses in order to prevent accidents.

Another safety consideration is to make sure that the bunk beds are set against two walls that are perpendicular to each other. This will give stability and prevent accidents from the bunks.
