Size

However, other mattress sizes like queen, full or twin XL could be utilized. The height of the top bed can be adjusted to increase or reduce the space between the ceiling and sleepers.
Some manufacturers recommend that there is at minimum 6-8 inches of space between bottom of mattress and the top of slats. This will ensure that top sleepers have enough space to move around and not hit their heads on the ceiling when climbing in or out of bed. A guard rail is usually placed on the bottom of the mattress to avoid the risk of falling while asleep.

Safety
Bunk beds are an excellent option for a child's room. They can be hazardous, however, if they are not properly inspected and constructed. Around 36,000 injuries caused by bunk beds require emergency care each year. Fortunately, the majority of these are minor. Children younger than 5 are at most risk of injury because they don't have a fully developed sense of space. They are also more likely to leap on or off the upper bunk and to utilize their beds for play. This is one reason why the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends parents not allow children under six years old to sleep on the top bunk.
Parents can make sure their children's bunk bed is safe by following a few basic guidelines. A ladder should not be put inside the bunk bed, instead, it should be placed on the outside. The rails should be at least 5 inches above the mattress, and the area to get in and out of the bed should not exceed 15 inches. Additionally bed frames should not be placed in close proximity to windows or behind objects that could fall on children as they sleep.
When building bunk beds, parents should follow the manufacturer's instructions to the letter. Screws should be tightened with care but not to the point that they crack the wood. Additionally, the bed should not squeak or rock. It is recommended to have the bunk beds inspected by a professional after they are put together, and have an expert test them before giving your children the ability to use them.
Bunk beds are a great option to save space and give a stylish look to a child's bedroom. It is important that parents set rules for their kids and supervise them closely to avoid injuries. It's also a great idea to install a nightlight in the room, and also to teach your children that hanging items from beds isn't safe. This could pose a risk of strangulation. Children should also be taught that playing rough with one another is not appropriate around beds and furniture.
