Safety

Loft beds and bunk beds are popular with children however, they carry risks. Many children are injured by loft and bunk beds every year, resulting in broken bones, cuts, scrapes as well as head and neck injuries. Many of these injuries could be avoided or prevented by taking the appropriate precautions.

The first step is to ensure that the loft bed or bunk bed is positioned correctly in the room. It shouldn't be set against the wall as this could result in children being wedged between the wall and the top of the bunk bed. Instead, allow a clear space of at least 3.5 inches between the bottom edge of the guard rail and the top of the mattress foundation.

When putting the bunk in place ensure that it is away from curtains, blinds and windows that may interfere with a child's vision or cause them to fall off. The bunk shouldn't be situated near anything that could hang from the rails, like cords or toys.

A solid, sturdy frame is essential for any bunk or loft bed. Pick a frame constructed of durable materials such as metal or pine. A platform or frame with slats is another option that could be secure and comfortable for your kids. Loft and bunk beds that have a solid platform or slats do not require a boxspring, which is more secure for children.

Find a loft with guardrails either side of the top level and a ladder that you are able to lock into place. Children younger than six years old should not sleep on the top bunk. Be sure to remind children of the dangers by reminding them often. Also, a night light on the top bunk will aid kids in finding their way back down the dark.

A loft safety net is another important safety measure. It is attached at the corners of the top bunk to prevent children from falling. They are available in a range of sizes and colors to fit any decor in the bedroom and are simple to put up.
