Size

There are various sizes of bunk beds to accommodate the needs of all families. The standard bunk bed has two twin mattresses stacked vertically on one another. Other mattress sizes, such as queen, full, or twin XL, can also be used. The height of the top bed may also be adjusted in order to increase or decrease the distance between the ceiling and sleepers.

Some manufacturers recommend that there be at least 6-8 inches of space between bottom of mattress and top of slats. This ensures that top sleepers will have enough room to move freely and avoid hitting their heads against the ceiling as they get in and out of bed. The mattress's bottom is also often fitted with a safety rail to prevent a fall from happening while asleep.

Safety

Bunk beds are a common choice for children's rooms. However, they can be dangerous if not properly inspected or constructed. Each year, about 36,000 injuries resulting from bunk beds require emergency room treatment. Fortunately, the majority of these injuries aren't serious. Children who are younger are at most risk of injuries because they don't have a fully developed sense of space. They are also more likely to leap on or off the upper bunk and to use their beds for play. The American Academy of Pediatrics advises parents not to let their children younger than six sleep on the top bunk.

A few simple rules can help parents ensure that their children's bunk beds are safe. A ladder shouldn't be placed within the bunk bed but on the outside. Additionally, the rails must be at least five inches above the mattress, and the opening for climbing in and out of bed should not be larger than fifteen inches. In addition the beds should not be placed close to a window or behind objects that could fall on children as they sleep.

Parents should follow the instructions of the manufacturer when building a bunkbed. Screws should not be pushed so tightly as to crack the wood. The bunk bed should not squeak or rock. It is also an excellent idea to have the bunk beds professionally inspected when they are put together and then have them tested by a qualified expert prior to giving children the ability to use them.
