Safety
Bunk beds can be an ideal option for sleep if they are correctly assembled and maintained. They should be placed away from anything that could pose a danger, such as blinds, ceiling fans and lights. They must also stay clear of furniture, such as tables and chairs that could be used to climb or descend the top bunk.
The guardrails on the upper bunk need to be a minimum of 5 inches above the mattress, and the gap between them must be small enough that a child's head, arms or torso cannot traverse through. If your bunk bed is equipped with ladders, make sure it is securely attached and that it is placed at least 5 inches from the guardrails. Ladders must have safety stops and be made of sturdy, solid materials.
Children should be taught to only use the ladder not to climb onto or off the bunks in any way. This will help prevent injuries resulting from falling or tripping over furniture. This will also prevent the upper bunk from being used as a playground or climbing frame.
Manufacturers should make clear the weight limit for the top bunk and children should be urged to stick to the guidelines. The weight of the people on top bunks can result in excessive stress that could result in the collapse of the mattress. It is recommended that the mattress on the top bunk should be at least 6 to 8 inches thick and provide a perfect balance between comfort and safety.
Parents should inspect the bunk bed regularly for signs of wear, for example loose screws. These can be easily repaired, and this will help to maintain the security of the bunk. It is also essential to teach children the proper method of getting into and out of the bunk bed, so that they do not use it as an area for play or treat it as an animal for clothes.
