Safety
One of the main factors to consider when purchasing bunk beds is safety. Bunk beds can be incredibly risky if they're not built or the kids do not follow the rules. It's important that you determine the area you'd like to put it and check the dimensions of the frame against the dimensions of your mattress. This will ensure that your mattress fits perfectly and there is enough space for your child to climb into and out of bed without any difficulties.
A key safety feature to look out for is guard rails both on the top and bottom bunks. These guard rails should be constructed from solid wood and secured securely to the frame. Any gaps, openings or holes on the frame of the bunk bed should be small enough that children's legs, heads or torsos aren't stuck in them. It's also recommended to ensure that any stairs or ladders used to climb up and down the bunk bed are part of the frame or that they're securely secured to it, to avoid them becoming loose and causing a tripping hazard.
Another crucial safety tip is to never allow children under the age of six to sleep on the top bunk. The majority of injuries resulting from bunk beds occur to children who are less than six years old, and more than half of these injuries are caused by falls. In addition, it's also a good idea to set clear rules for using the bunk bed and make it clear that the top bunk is not for jumping, playing or for anything else.
Finally, it's recommended to make sure that no clothes, belts or jump ropes are hanging from the frame of the bunk bed as these can pose serious strangulation dangers to children. You can purchase clip on shelves that can be easily attached to the side of the bunk. They will give your child a place to keep their night-time essentials so they don't have to get out of the bed to search for them in the dark.
