The mattress on the top bunk should not be deeper than 15cm and should be able to fit snugly into the rails for guards. A deeper mattress could cause the side guards to deflect away from the wall which could result in an unintentional fall from the bunk bed. The mattress on the bottom of the bunk bed should be supported by wires, slats, or slats running directly beneath it, and secured at both ends.

You should also select a mattress that is at the right height for the top bunk, so that you can utilize the railings to get into and out of bed safely.
