Safety

The first step is to ensure that the loft or bunk bed is correctly placed in the room. It should not be against the wall since this could cause children to get stuck between the wall of the bunk and the top of the mattress. Instead, leave a space of at least 3.5 inches between the bottom edge of the guard rail and the top of the mattress foundation.

When putting the bunk in place ensure that it is away from curtains, blinds and windows that could block a child’s view or cause them to fall off. The bunk should not be close to anything that can hang from the rails, like cords or toys.

A solid, sturdy frame is essential for any loft or bunk bed. Choose a frame that is made of durable materials such as metal or pine. A slatted frame or platform is another option that could be safe and comfortable for your children. Bunk and loft beds with solid slats or a solid platform don't require a box spring and are safer for young children.

In addition to the frame, look for a loft bed that includes guardrails on both sides of the top and ladders that can be locked into place. Children who are younger than six years old should not sleep on the top bunk. Make sure to warn children of the dangers of sleeping on top bunks by reminding them regularly. A night light on the top bunk can aid children in finding their way down in the dark.

Another important safety precaution is to put up a loft safety net that is attached to the corners of the top bunk and prevents children from falling off. They are available in a wide variety of sizes and colors that will match any decor in the bedroom, and they are easy to set up.
