Bunk beds can be dangerous in the event that they are not constructed properly or if children do not adhere to the rules. It’s crucial to determine the area you’d like to place it and then compare the dimensions of the frame carefully against the measurements of your mattress. This will ensure that the mattress is perfectly fitted and that your child can get in and out of the bed with no problems.Guard rails are an essential security feature. They should be located on the top and bottom bunks. These rails must be constructed of solid wood and attached securely to the frame. Any gaps, openings or holes in the frame of the bed should be sized so that children’s legs, heads or torsos cannot get caught in them. It’s also a good idea to ensure that any stairs or ladders used to climb up and down the bunk bed are part of the frame itself or that they’re securely secured to it, to avoid them coming loose and creating the risk of tripping.Another important safety rule is to not allow children under the age of six to sleep on the top bunk. Most injuries related to bunk beds occur to children under this age and more than half occur due to falls. Additionally it’s recommended to establish clear rules for using the bunk bed, and to emphasize that the top bunk is not for jumping, playing or anything else.It’s also recommended to make sure that no belts, clothing or jump ropes hang from the frame of the bunk bed as these can pose serious strangulation dangers to children. You can buy clip-on shelves that attach easily to the side of the bunk and give your child a place to keep their night-time essentials so they don’t have to get up out of bed to look for them in the dark.StorageBunk beds allow two people to sleep in the same room without taking up the space on the floor.

This is ideal for siblings who share a bedroom or for family members living in a small apartment.Bunk bed frames come in different sizes and shapes that can be adapted to any space. They can be even adjusted to meet the preferences of the sleeping individuals. If, for instance, one child likes sleeping on the top bunk, and the other the bottom, the beds could be set up so that they face each the other. This allows for each person to have their own private space, yet be surrounded by family members.Another feature that many people who own bunk beds appreciate is the option of incorporating storage drawers under the bed or trundles to their frame. These extras can be put beneath the bunk bed to store clothing or blankets. These add-ons can also be used to provide additional space for guests to visit.Besides under-bed drawers, trundles can be added to bunk beds in the shape of pull-out mattresses that lie beneath the bottom bed and are easily accessed with just a few steps. This allows for an additional sleeping space when guests come over and eliminates the need for an air mattress.Anyone who is considering purchasing a bunk bed should consider the safety features. You’ll want to check for side rails on the upper and lower bunks that will stop a child from rolling off the top bunk. It is also important to consider how thick a mattress can comfortably fit on the upper bunk. A mattress that is too heavy could cause a child to slide off the railings and hurt themselves.Other safety options include the kind of ladder you select for your bunk bed. Some bunk beds feature a ladder that is long and connects the lower and upper rails. Some have a shorter ladder attached to the front of upper guard rails. The latter is ideal for children because it makes the climb to the top bunk more comfortable and more secure.
