Although bunk beds are designed for children, they can also be used by adults and teens provided that the weight limit isn't exceeded.

One of the most frequent causes of bunk bed accidents is that the child falls out of the top mattress or gets stuck. This is the reason it's crucial to make sure there are no gaps or other spots where your children could get trapped. The ideal way to do this is by checking that the edges of your bunk bed are clean, and that there aren't any protrusions that could trap children or cause injury.

Another crucial area of safety is guard rails. The ideal is to have them at least 5 inches above the bunk bed's lower level. This will prevent the face of a child from getting stuck between the mattress's bottom and the guard rail. The guard rails should be the same height on all sides and not less than 3.5 inches apart.

It is also essential to ensure that the distance between the mattress and the wall is not more than 5 inches. It should be a snug fit, and it must be tested to ensure there is no chance of neck entrapment. It is necessary to test both sides of the lower bunk openings using a wedge. The block must be capable of passing through the opening with ease and also be able to test for neck entrapment by passing a sphere that is rigid to 9 inches through the same openings.

Some bunk beds may also feature stairs that lead to the top of the bed instead of a ladder. Stairs can be safer for children however, they consume more space than ladders. If you choose to go for stairs, ensure that they are placed with a proper guard rail and an appropriate space between the steps to avoid accidents.
