Safety

Bunk beds are a common choice for kids' rooms. However they can pose a risk if not properly inspected or constructed. Each year, about 36,000 bunk bed-related injuries require emergency room treatment. Fortunately, the majority of these injuries are not serious. The risk of injury is highest for younger children, as they do not have a clear sense of space. They are also more likely to leap onto or off the top bunk, and also to make use of their beds for playing. This is one of the reasons why the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends parents to not allow children younger than six years old to sleep on the top bunk.

Parents can ensure their children's bunk bed is safe by following a few basic rules. For instance a ladder must be placed on the outside of the bunk and not inside it. Also, the rails should be at least five inches higher than the mattress and the opening to climb in and out of bed should not be wider than fifteen inches. The beds should also not be placed close to windows or behind objects that could fall onto children as they sleep.

Parents should strictly adhere to the guidelines of the manufacturer when building a bunk bed. Screws should not be tightened so tightly as to crack the wood. The bunk bed should also not creak or move.
