Bunk beds are dangerous when they are not constructed correctly or if children don’t adhere to the rules. You must measure the space where you intend to put the bunk bed and compare the dimensions of the frame to the measurements of the mattress. This will ensure that your mattress fits perfectly and that there is enough clearance for your child to climb into and out of bed without problems.A key safety feature to look out for is guard rails both on the top and bottom bunks. These guard rails should be made from solid wood and secured securely to the frame. Also any holes, gaps or openings in the frame of a bunk bed should be small enough to prevent children’s legs, heads or torsos from getting trapped in the gaps. To prevent accidents from tripping it is a good idea to ensure that any ladders and stairs used to climb up the frame of the bunk bed are part of the frame or are a part of it.Another crucial safety tip is to not let children under the age of six to sleep on the top bunk. The majority of bunk bed-related injuries occur to children who are less than six years old, and it is estimated that half of these injuries result from falls. It’s a good idea too, to establish clear guidelines for the use of the bunk bed, and to stress that the top bunk should not be used for jumping or playing.It is essential to ensure that no clothes, belts, or jump ropes hang off the frame of the bunk bed. These can be an extremely strangulation risk for children. You can purchase shelves that clip easily to the sides and give your child a place to keep their night-time necessities and not have to get out of bed at night to search for them.StorageBunk beds permit two people to sleep in the same space without taking up too much space.

They can even be adjusted to meet the preferences of the sleepers. For instance for instance, if one child likes the top bunk while the other prefers the bottom bunk and the beds can be set up so that they face each the other. This allows for each person to have their own private space, while still being surrounded by family members.Another feature that a lot of homeowners of bunk beds enjoy is the possibility of adding storage drawers underneath or trundles to their frame. These add-ons are stationed underneath the lower bed and can be used to hold blankets or clothing. They also offer extra space for sleepovers when guests visit.Apart from drawers for under-bed storage Trundles can be affixed to bunk beds in the form of pull-out mattresses that are placed under the bed’s bottom and are easily accessed with a simple step. This gives you an additional sleeping space for guests who come over and eliminates the need for an air mattress.Safety features are a must for anyone considering purchasing a bunk bed. Be sure to check for side rails on the lower and upper bunks to stop children from falling off the top bunk. It’s also important to take into consideration the thickness of a mattress you can fit on the upper bunk, as too thick of a mattress can cause a sleeper to fall off of the guard rails in the middle of sleep and hurt him or herself.The kind of ladder you choose for your bunk beds is another safety option. Some bunk beds feature a long ladder connecting the lower and upper rails. Some include a shorter ladder that is tacked to the front of upper guard rail. This is the best option for children as it makes climbing up to the top bunk safer and easier.
