Size

Bunk beds are typically placed one on top of the other and are accessible through a ladder. Wood or metal, they come in various sizes to fit your space. The size of bunk beds is determined by the size of the mattress and the frame style. Traditional twin-over-twin quadruple bunks can accommodate standard twin mattresses while contemporary bunk beds typically include roomier full-size mattresses.

It's important to remember that a higher bed may require more space, especially when a child is sleeping in the top bunk. Also, a higher bunk isn't easy to climb up and down, especially for children who are younger. This is the reason why many parents choose to purchase bunk beds that are divided into separate lofted beds.

Safety

While accidents in bunk beds do occur, they are generally a result of unsafe methods or poor construction rather than an issue with the design or manufacture of the beds themselves.

Another important security feature is the guard rails. They must be at least five inches in height and run along all sides of the mattress. There shouldn't be any gaps or openings on the mattress or wall that a child's head body or limbs might be caught in, as they can pose serious strangulation dangers.

Also, ensure that your children don't hang anything on the bunk bed, especially belts or scarves since they could get caught and pose an extremely strangulation risk. You should also keep sporting equipment from bunk beds, for example skipping ropes, since they can pose strangulation hazards.
