Whatever you choose to use it is important to choose solid wood that can withstand the weight of the mattress.

Safety Bunk beds can be a great element to have in any child's room however they can risk injury if not properly used. This is why it's important to adhere to safety guidelines when using bunk beds, and teach your children to use them safely. Taking the time to do this will cancel out any risks associated with these beds, and your children will be able to sleep happily. One of the main causes of bunk bed accidents is falling out of or becoming stuck in the top mattress. This is the reason it's crucial to ensure there aren't any gaps or other places where your children could get trapped. The best method to check this is to make sure that the edges of the bunk bed are smooth and that there are no protrusions that could trap the child or cause injury. Guard rails are another important security feature. Idealy, they should be at least 5 inches higher than the lower bunk bed. This will ensure that a child's head isn't trapped between the mattress and the bottom of the guard rail. The height of the guard rails must be the same across all sides, and should not be less than 3.5 inches apart. It is also important to ensure that the distance between the mattress's foundation and the wall on which the ladder is located is not more than five inches. It should fit snugly and be inspected to ensure there are no neck entrapment dangers. It is necessary to test both ends of the lower bunk openings with wedge. The block should be able to pass through the opening with ease, and it must also be able to test for neck entrapment passing a rigid 9-inch sphere through the same openings. Lastly, single bunkbed should also ensure that your bunk beds are positioned away from ceiling blinds, curtains and fans (which could all pose strangulation risks), lights and heaters. This will reduce any dangers of fire or tripping, and will help to keep your children from becoming overheated while they sleep. Design Think about the overall design of a bunkbed when choosing one.

Some bunk beds have stairs that lead to the top instead of a ladder. Stairs can be safer for younger kids however they require more space than ladders. If you choose stairs, make sure they are surrounded by a safety rail and adequate space between the steps to avoid accidents. Some bunk beds can be separated into single beds if your children grow out of them or need their own space in a different room. This will save you money on a new bed and gives your kids more space for activities in their room.
