The ladder should be fixed to the side of the frame for the bunk and should not extend more than 5 inches above the top railings or the end panels. This will keep a child from getting trapped between the guardrails or the ladder.

Although the maximum capacity of a top bunk is often described as equal to or greater than a standard twin mattress the majority of manufacturers recommend that the top bunk is used only with a mattress that is not thicker than 4 to 6 inches. If the mattress is thicker, the sleeper could end up being taller than the guard rails, which could be dangerous.

If your top bunk has a straight ladder, it can be secured to the bed with a set of ladder hooks that can be hung over the frame. These hooks can be secured on either the right or left side of the ladder, in the event that they are not blocked by a headboard.
