However, other mattress sizes like queen, full or twin XL could also be used. The height of the top bed may also be adjusted in order to increase or reduce the space between the ceiling and the sleeping beds.
Some manufacturers recommend that there should be at least 6-8 inches of clearance between the mattress’s bottom and the top of slats. This will ensure that top sleepers have enough room to move around and do not hit their heads on the ceiling when they climb in or out of the bed. The bottom of the mattress is also often fitted with a safety rail to stop a fall from happening while asleep.

Safety
Bunk beds can be an excellent option for a room for children. However, they can be dangerous when they are not properly examined or constructed. About 36,000 injuries caused by bunk beds require emergency room care each year. Fortunately, the vast majority of these injuries are minor. The risk of injury is greatest for children younger than a year old, since they lack a full sense of space. They are also more likely to leap on or off the upper bunk and to utilize their beds for playing. This is one of the reasons why the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends parents to not allow children younger than six years old to sleep on their top bunk.
A few simple rules can help parents ensure that their children’s bunk beds are secure. For instance a ladder must be placed on the outside of the bunk, and not inside it. The rails should be at least 5 inches over the mattress, and the opening to get in and out of the bed shouldn’t exceed 15 inches. The beds should also not be placed in close proximity to windows or behind furniture that could fall on children as they sleep.
Parents must strictly adhere to the guidelines of the manufacturer when building a bunk bed. Screws should not be pushed enough to cause cracks in the wood. The bunk bed should also not squeak or move. Finally, it is an excellent idea to have the bunk beds professionally inspected when they are put together and to be tested by a qualified expert prior to giving children the ability to use them.
Bunk beds are a great option to reduce space and give a stylish look to a child’s room. It is important that parents set rules for their children and monitor them with care to avoid injuries.
