have stairs or ladders to access the top bunk Additionally they can be crafted from a variety of materials including metal and wood Size Compare the dimensions of your space with the dimensions of a bunk bed prior to you buy it Youll need to ensure that theres enough space for kids to climb up and down the ladder or stairs in the case of bunks that have stairs and move around the loft without

another important aspect to take into consideration The CPSC recommends the top bunks mattress to be no higher than 5 inches over the guardrail This will prevent your children from rolling out of bed in the middle night and falling into the guardrails This could result in entrapment or even the possibility of falling Ganjian says that the top bunk beds are made of solid materials and they are in

to the manufacturers safety and assembly guidelines use the right mattress size and place the bunk beds in a way that they do not interfere with windows heaters or hanging lights Its also an excellent idea to regularly inspect the bunk bed for any signs of wear and tear and then make repairs as required The top bunks height should be restricted to four feet and there should be a guardrail on both sides of the bed The space between guardrails shouldnt be greater than 3 12 inches to prevent death by suffocation This will also ensure that your child isnt able to fall under the guardrail when sleeping The mattress on the bottom should be supported by wires or slats that are placed directly under the bunk They should be fastened with a secure nut at both ends to prevent a gap where your child might fall through Ladders or stairs should be affixed to the bunk bed and secure and should provide a safe method of climbing to the upper level Make sure the ladder isnt in the vicinity of any dangers and that your children know that they can use it solely to climb into bed not as an area for play Also avoid rough play on the bunks since it could affect the stability of the structure There is no specific age at that children are considered to be too old to be able to sleep in bunk beds but many experts suggest that kids shouldnt sleep on the top bunk until they are at minimum six years
