Height

It's best that you adhere to the guidelines set by the manufacturers of bunk beds. It is recommended that the top bunk mattresses should not be higher than 5 inches from the guard rails in order to prevent rolling out or falling. Similarly, bottom bunk mattresses must not be taller than 6 inches over the guardrails in order to keep sleepers in a straight position throughout the night.

The height of a bunk bed can also be affected by the mattress size you select. Bunk beds are usually sold with full-sized mattresses. However you can also purchase twin or twinXL mattresses as well when you need to. The larger sizes are better for adults and older children as they provide more space to spread out during the night.

Safety

Bunk beds are safe for sleeping when they are put together and maintained in a safe manner. They should be kept away from any items that may cause danger such as blinds, ceiling fan, and lights. They should also be kept away from furniture that could be used to climb onto or off the top bunk, like tables and chairs.

The guard rails on the upper bunk should be a minimum of 5 inches above the mattress, and the gaps between them should be small enough that a child's head, arms, or torso can't pass through. If your bunk bed is equipped with ladders, make sure it is attached securely and is positioned at least 5 inches from the guardrails. Ladders must have safety stops and be constructed from sturdy, durable materials.

Children should not use the ladder to climb on or off bunk beds. This will prevent injuries caused by falling or tripping over furniture. It will also help stop the use of the upper bunk as a playground or climbing frame, and will ensure that only those capable of sleeping on it can be able to do so.

The weight limit of the top bunk should be clearly defined in the manual of the manufacturer and children should be urged to follow the rules. A heavy load of occupants could put too much stress on the bunk, which could cause it to collapse. It is recommended that mattresses on the top bunk should be 6 to 8 inches thick. This provides the perfect balance between comfort and security.

Parents should check the bunk bed for signs of wear and tear, such as loosened screws. These can be easily fixed and aid in maintaining the safety of the bunk. It is also essential to teach children the proper way to get into and out of the bunk bed, so that they don't make it an area for play or treat it as an unclean horse.
