However, other sizes of mattresses like queen, full or twin XL can also be used. The height of the top bed can be adjusted in order to increase or decrease the distance between the ceiling and the sleeping beds.

Some manufacturers recommend that there be at minimum 6-8 inches of space between bottom of mattress and the top of slats.

Each year, about 36,000 accidents involving bunk beds need emergency room treatment. Fortunately, the majority of these injuries are minor. The danger of injury is the highest for children younger than a year old, since they aren't able to perceive the fullness of space. They are also more likely to leap on or off the upper bunk, and also to use their beds for playing. This is one reason that the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends parents not allow children under six years old to sleep on the top bunk.

Parents can ensure that their children's bunk beds are secure by following a few simple guidelines. For instance a ladder must be put 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 into and out of the bed shouldn't exceed 15 inches. The beds should not be placed in close proximity to windows or behind furniture that could fall onto children while they sleep.

When building a bunk bed, parents should follow the instructions of the manufacturer to the letter. Screws should not be pushed so tightly as to crack the wood. Also, the bunk bed should not rock or creak. Finally, it is recommended to have the bunk beds checked by a professional after assembly and then be tested by an expert before giving children the ability to use them.

Bunk beds are a great option to make space and give a stylish look to a child's bedroom.
