If they're too low your children may fall off the their bed and cause injuries to themselves. For this reason, it's recommended to select the best quality, sturdy bunk bed.

It is also important to ensure that the bunk bed has a full length guard rail on top. This will help to prevent your children from falling out of bed during the night, and it's a legal requirement.

When it comes to the ladder, opt for one that is angled, rather than a traditional vertical ladder. This will allow your child to climb up to the top bunk bed, and also safer. Also, you should be aware of whether the mattress on the top bunk is thick. In general the bunk bed mattress must not exceed 16cm deep to ensure that the guard rails work properly.
