Safety

This will eliminate any dangers that are associated with these beds and allow your children to continue sleeping in the beds.

One of the most common reasons for bunk bed accidents is when a child falls off the top mattress or becomes stuck. This is why it's essential to make sure there are no gaps or other spots that your children can get trapped. The ideal way to ensure this is to check that all edges of the bunk bed are smooth and that there are no protrusions that could catch children or cause injury.

Guard rails are another important security feature. The ideal is to have them at least 5 inches higher than the lower bunk bed. This will keep the face of a child from getting stuck between the mattress's bottom and the guard rail. The guard rails must be identical in height on all sides and never less than 3.5 inch apart.

It's also essential to check that the distance between the mattress's foundation and the wall on which the ladder is situated is less than 5 inches. It should be a tight fit, and should also be tested to ensure there is no potential for neck entrapment. To test this, you'll have to test the openings at both sides of the lower bunk using wedge blocks. The block must be able to pass through the opening freely and also be able to test for neck entrapment by passing a rigid 9-inch sphere through the same openings.

The last thing to do is ensure that your bunk beds don't block ceiling fans, blinds, curtains, or heaters. All of these could present the risk of strangulation. This will reduce any fire or tripping hazards and help keep your children from becoming overheated while they sleep.

Design

Some bunk beds have stairs leading to the top instead of a ladder. Stairs can be safer for children, but they take up more space than ladders. If you choose to go for stairs, ensure that they are positioned with a suitable guard rail and a proportionate space between the stairs' steps to avoid accidents.
