Bunk beds are usually stacked one on top of the other and accessible via an elevated ladder. Wood or metal, they come in different sizes to fit your space. The size of bunk beds is determined by the size of the mattress and the frame style.

Safety

Although bunk bed injuries do occur, they are generally caused by unsafe practices or poor construction rather than a defect in the design or manufacturing of the beds themselves.

Additionally, it's an ideal idea to ensure that all wooden elements are smooth and free of sharp edges or corners which could cause injuries. Additionally, any metal fasteners should not protrude out of the bed's frame since they can easily cut or snag clothing for children.

Guard rails are an additional safety feature. They must be at least five inches tall, and extend along the entire length of the mattress. There should be no gaps or openings on the wall or mattress that a child's head legs or torso could get caught in since these can be major strangulation dangers.

It is also important to make sure that your children do not hang anything on their beds, including scarves and belts. They could get caught up and pose a serious danger of strangulation. It is also an excellent idea to keep any sports equipment like skipping ropes, out of the bunk beds since they can also pose strangulation hazards.

You should only let one child sleep on the top bunk, unless that child is older than six years old old and you've taken steps to ensure that they are able to safely climb the ladder each day. It is also a great idea to remove the ladder at night to ensure that your children don't have the ability to climb it and fall off the bunk bed.
