Safety

Bunk and loft beds are a favorite among children, but they come with dangers. Every year, bunk beds and loft beds result in injuries to thousands of children, which include head and neck injuries, broken bones, and scrapes and cuts. The majority of these injuries can be avoided or prevented by implementing the right precautions.

The first thing to do is make sure that the loft or bunk bed is placed correctly in the room. It should not be placed against the wall, which could result in children being trapped between the wall and the top of the bunk bed. There should be at least 3 inches between the bottom of the guardrail and the top of the mattress foundation.

When placing the bunk ensure that it is away from curtains, blinds and windows that might hinder a child's view or cause them to fall off. The bunk bed should not be set near anything that could hang from the rails such as cords or toys.

A solid, sturdy frame is essential for any loft or bunk bed. Look for a frame constructed from durable materials such as pine or metal. A platform or slatted frame is another option that can be secure and comfortable for your children. Bunk and loft beds with solid slats or a solid platform do not require a boxspring, which is safer for toddlers.

In addition to the frame, search for loft beds that have guardrails on both sides of the top and an incline that can be locked in place. Children less than six years old should not sleep on the top bunk. Make sure to warn them of the dangers of sleeping on top bunks by reminding them frequently. A night light on the top bunk could aid children in finding their way down in the darkness.

Another crucial safety measure is to install a loft safety net that can be attached to the corners of the top bunk and keeps children from falling off. These nets come in a variety of sizes and colors to match any decor in the bedroom. They are also easy to install.
