However, other sizes such as full, queen or twin XL may also be used. The height of the top bed can also be adjusted in order to increase or decrease the space between the ceiling and the sleeping beds.

Some manufacturers recommend that there be at least 6-8 inches of clearance between the mattress's bottom and the top of slats. This ensures that top sleepers will have enough room to move and avoid hitting their heads against the ceiling when they get in and out of the bed. A railing for protection is typically installed at the bottom of the mattress to prevent a possible fall while sleeping.

Safety

Bunk beds are an excellent option for a child's room. However they can be dangerous if not properly inspected or constructed. Every year, around 36,000 bunk bed-related injuries require emergency room treatment. Fortunately, the majority of these injuries are minor. The risk of injury is greatest for children who are younger, as they do not have a clear sense of space. They are also more likely to jump onto or off the top bunk and to utilize their beds for play activities. This is one reason that the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends parents not allow children under six years old to sleep on their top bunk.

Following a few basic guidelines can aid parents in ensuring that their children's bunk beds are safe. For instance a ladder must be put on the outside of the bunk and not inside. The rails must be at least 5 inches higher than the mattress, and the space to climb in and out of the bed shouldn't exceed 15 inches. The beds should not be placed near windows or behind clutter that could fall on children while they sleep.

Parents must strictly adhere to the guidelines of the manufacturer when building a bunkbed. Screws should be tightened securely but not so tightly that they crack the wood. Additionally, the bed should not creak or rock. Finally, it is recommended to have the bunk beds inspected by a professional when they are put together and have them tested by an expert before giving children the ability to use them.

Bunk beds are a great option to make space and add style to the child's room. It is essential that parents set the rules for their children and supervise them with care to avoid injury.
