Safety

Safety is a major factor when buying a bunk bed. Bunk beds are dangerous in the event that they are not constructed properly or if the children don't follow the rules. It is important to measure the space where you plan to place the bunk bed, and compare the dimensions of the frame with the measurements of the mattress.

Guard rails are a crucial security feature. They should be on the top and bottom bunks. These should be a solid wood and securely fastened to the frame of the bunk. Also any holes, gaps or openings on the frame of a bunk bed should be small enough to avoid children's legs, head or torsos from being trapped in the gaps.
