Safety

One of the most important considerations when buying a bunk bed is safety. Bunk beds can be dangerous when they are not constructed correctly or if children don't follow the rules. You should take measurements of the space you intend to put the bunk bed and then compare the dimensions of the frame to the dimensions of the mattress. This will ensure that the mattress is perfectly fitted and that your child is able to be able to get into and out of the bed without any problems.

A key safety feature to look for is guard rails on the bottom and top bunks. These should be a solid wood that is securely attached to the frame of the bunk. Additionally any gaps, holes or openings on the frame of a bunk bed must be small enough to keep children's heads, legs or torsos from getting trapped in them. It's also recommended to make sure that any ladders or stairs used to climb up and down the bed are either part of the frame or that they're securely fastened to it to avoid them becoming loose and causing the risk of tripping.

Another important safety tip is to Never let children under six years old sleep on the top bunk. The majority of the injuries that occur from bunk beds occur to children who are less than six years old, and it is estimated that half of these injuries are caused by falls. In addition to that, it's also recommended to establish clear rules about using the bunk bed and make it clear that the top bunk isn't for playing, jumping or for anything else.

Finally, it's an excellent idea to make sure that no belts, clothing or jump ropes are hanging off the frame of the bunk bed because they could pose serious strangulation hazards for children. You can buy clip-on shelves that can be easily attached to the sides of the bed and provide your child a place to keep their essentials for the night so that they don't need to get out of the bed to search for them in the dark.

Trundles can also be found for bunk beds as pull-out mattresses. These mattresses are accessible via a single step and are located beneath the bottom bunk bed. This allows for an additional sleeping space when guests are visiting and eliminates the requirement for an air mattress.

Anyone who is considering purchasing a bunk bed must consider the safety features. You'll want to check for side rails on the upper and lower bunks that help keep a child from falling off the top bunk. It is also important to think about the amount of mattress you can comfortably place on the top bunk, as too thick of a mattress can cause a sleeping child to fall off the guard rails in the middle of sleep and hurt him or herself.

The type of ladder that you choose for your bunk beds is another security option. Certain bunk beds have a long ladder that connects the lower and upper guard rails, whereas others offer a shorter ladder that is attached to the front of the upper guard rail. This is ideal for children as it makes climbing to the top bunk easier and safer.
