Safety

Bunk beds are dangerous, especially for children. Every year, thousands of children are treated in hospitals for injuries related to bunk beds and loft beds the majority of which are minor. The most common incidents involving bunk beds occur when children play on or around their beds, and a high proportion of these involve falling off the top bunk. There are many ways to minimize the risk and keep your kids safe at night.

You should first choose a bunkbed that meets safety standards. Guardrails should be at least 3.5" on both sides of the bed and be properly installed to stop children from falling. The upper guardrails should be at least five inches higher than the mattress to guard against falls. In addition, the ladder should be secure and firmly attached to the frame of the bunk bed. Ladder steps must also be constructed of durable materials with wide, sturdy treads that will prevent sliding. From the beginning, you should teach your children to use bunk beds properly. This includes not playing around or on the bunk beds, laying down only in them and making sure that your body and possessions are within the guardrails.

Other steps that can significantly reduce the risk of bunk bed accidents include ensuring the ladder isn't being used as a climbing structure and no belts or ropes are connected to the beds; they could be strangulation hazards. To reduce the risk of hitting ceiling lighting fixtures or fans while climbing the ladder, put the ladder away from them. Also, you should periodically inspect the bunk bed for signs of wear and tear, especially any squeaks which could indicate loose or compromised components that could affect the stability or safety of the bed.

Finally, be wary of DIY or do-it-yourself bunk beds kits that might not be in compliance with the latest safety standards. When purchasing a bunk bed, you must consult the manufacturer's instructions and ask about any safety features that might be available.
