The frame you choose and the mattress will also be affected by the number of people who will sleep on your bunk beds. Larger rooms can accommodate triple bunk beds or L-shaped beds. Smaller rooms are more suited to a twin over full or full over twin layout.

You must determine the area you're planning to put the bunk bed and compare the dimensions of the frame to the dimensions of the mattress. This will ensure that the mattress is perfectly fitted and your child will be able to get in and out of the bed without any difficulties.

Guard rails are a crucial safety feature. They should be placed on the top and bottom bunks. These rails must be constructed from solid wood and secured securely to the frame. Any gaps, openings or holes on the frame of the bunk bed must be small enough that children's legs, heads or torsos cannot get trapped in them. It's also an excellent idea to make sure that any stairs or ladders used to climb up and down the bunk bed are part of the frame itself or are securely attached to it to prevent them from becoming loose and causing an accident hazard.

Another important safety tip: Never let children under six years old sleep on the top bunk. The majority of injuries resulting from bunk beds happen to children under this age and more than half of them occur due to falls. Additionally, it's also an excellent idea to establish clear rules for using the bunk bed and stress that the top bunk isn't for playing, jumping or for anything else.

Also, it's recommended to make sure that no belts, clothing or jump ropes are hanging off the frame of the bunk bed because they can be strangulation risks to children.
