Safety
Bunk beds are a safe option for sleeping when they are properly assembled and maintained. They should be kept clear from anything that could cause danger like blinds, ceiling fan, and lights. They must also stay clear of furniture, such as chairs and tables that could be used to climb up or down the top bunk.
The guardrails should be at least 5 inches higher than the top bunk, and the space between them should be small enough to prevent the child from stepping through with their head, torso or arms. If your bunk bed comes with ladders, they should be attached securely and placed at least 5 inches from the edge of the guardrails along each side. Ladders must be equipped with safety stops, and they should be constructed from solid, sturdy materials.
Children should only use the ladder to climb onto or off bunk beds. This will avoid injuries from falls or falling on furniture. This will also stop the upper bunk from being used as a playground or climbing frame.
The weight limit for the top bunk should be clearly stated in the manufacturer's documentation and children should be encouraged to adhere to the rules. A heavy load of occupants could put too much pressure on the bunk, which could cause it to collapse. It is recommended that the mattress on the top bunk be 6-8 inches in thickness that will provide the perfect balance between comfort and safety.
Parents should check the bunk bed frequently for signs of wear, for example loose screws. These can be easily repaired and help to maintain the safety of the bunk. It is essential to teach children how to enter and exit the bunk bed so that it does not become an area for play or a clothes horse.
