Size

There are a variety of sizes of bunk beds available to meet the requirements of families. The standard bunk bed is made up of two twin mattresses that are stacked over one another vertically. Other sizes of mattresses, such as queen full, twin, or XL, could be utilized. The height of the top bed may also be adjusted in order to increase or reduce the space between the ceiling and sleepers.

Some manufacturers suggest that there is at minimum 6-8 inches of space between the mattress's bottom and the top of the slats. This will ensure that the top sleepers have enough room to move around and not hit their heads on the ceiling when climbing in or out of bed. The bottom of the mattress is often adorned with a railing to stop a fall from happening while asleep.

Safety

Bunk beds are a popular choice for children's rooms. They can be dangerous however, if not properly inspected and constructed. About 36,000 injuries resulting from bunk beds require emergency treatment each year. Fortunately, the majority of these injuries are not serious. The risk of injury is highest for children who are younger, as they aren't able to perceive the fullness of space. They are also more likely to jump onto or off the top bunk, and also to use their beds for play activities. This is one reason that the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends parents to not allow children younger than six to sleep on the top bunk.

Parents can ensure their children's bunk bed is safe by observing a few simple rules. A ladder shouldn't be placed in the bunk bed instead, it should be placed on the outside. The rails should be at least 5 inches higher than the mattress, and the opening for climbing in and out of the bed shouldn't exceed 15 inches. The beds should also not be placed near windows or behind clutter that could fall on children as they sleep.

When building bunk beds parents should follow the instructions of the manufacturer to the letter. Screws should be tightened properly but not so tightly that they break the wood. The bunk bed should also not move or creak. It is also a good idea to have the bunk beds professionally inspected after assembly and to test them by a professional before allowing children to use them.

Bunk beds can free up space in a child's room and add style. But it is vital that parents establish ground rules for their children and monitor them with care to avoid injury. It is also a good idea to have a nightlight within the room, and to instruct your children that hanging things on beds is not safe. This could pose a risk of strangulation. Children should be taught that playing rough with one another is not appropriate around beds and furniture.
