Safety

As bunk beds have become more well-known, manufacturers have stepped up their design and safety measures. It is still essential to examine each bed for any potential dangers prior to buying. Solid guard rails, safe stairs or ladders, as well as the proper spacing between slats is essential to avoid serious injuries. Even if parents and children take all precautions in the bunk, one that is not properly designed or constructed could cause serious and fatal injuries.

Bunk beds for children should be in compliance with certain standards, such as safety rails at least five inches higher than the mattress base. The guard rails must be high enough to prevent the child from falling off the top bunk during the night, but not too high that they interfere with a child's ability to climb or slide down the ladder. It's also important to keep the ladder free of tripping hazards, such as clothing or toys and also to ensure that the area surrounding the bunk is clear of clutter.

The top bunk's height is another factor to consider. Current guidelines suggest that children who are younger than six don't sleep on the top bunk, since they lack the coordination to climb safely off the ladder, especially in the dark. In addition it is recommended that only one child be sleeping on the top bunk at any one time to decrease the chance of injuries from falls and other accidents.

A high-quality bunk should have sturdy guardrails and a ladder that is easy to use. It should also be tested and certified to ensure that it meets safety standards. Request the manufacturer's certificate if the bed you are looking to purchase does not have one.

It's important to review these rules every time your children have guests staying at their home. It's also a good idea for you to remind your kids that rough play or jumping on bunk bed frames could cause the foundation to break.
