Size

Take a look at the dimensions of your room to the dimensions of a bunk bed prior to you buy it. You'll need to make sure there's enough room for your kids to climb the ladder or stairs (if they are included) and move around the loft without bumping into furniture or walls.

Some bunks include an trundle that can accommodate additional guests during sleepovers. If your kids are still young, you should look for an extremely low bunk, so that the bottom bunk is less than 50 inches from the ground. This will prevent your children from falling out of their beds, which can be risky for safety.

The distance between the top bunk and guardrails is another factor to consider. The CPSC recommends that the height of the top mattress not be greater than 5 inches over the guardrail. This will prevent your children from falling out of bed in the middle night and falling into the guardrails. This can cause the entrapment of a child, or even the possibility of falling.

The top bunk's height should be limited to four feet. There should be a guardrail on both sides of the bed. The space between guardrails should not be wider than 3 1/2 inches to prevent suffocation. This will also ensure that your child doesn't slide under the guardrail while sleeping. The bottom mattress should be held up by wires or slats that run directly beneath the bunk. They must also be secured on both ends. This will prevent your child from falling through a gap.

The ladders or stairs must be affixed to the bunk bed and secure and should offer a safe way of climbing to the upper level.
