When it comes to bunk beds, it’s important to let your kids understand the role of a bed. It is used for sleeping, not meant to be used as a fort or anything else they can come up with.
Never allow more than one person on the top bunk and never allow children to play on, or under, bunk beds unless the area under the bed is designed specifically as a play area or study center.
According to experts, No Child Under Age Six should use the top bunk. Kids under age six usually suffer head injuries after a fall from a bunk bed.
For your child’s safety and security, it is strongly recommended that anything that comes with the top bunk bed and needs to be installed should be installed.
If you are concerned about your kid falling off the top bunk, then you must make sure that the safety rails are high enough and the top of the mattress should be at least 130 mm below the top of the guardrails and end panels.
When it comes to child mattress, make sure the new mattress is of the correct size and thickness for the bunk bed. Too thin or too soft of a mattress could get your child trapped between the underside of the guard rail and the mattress.
