The guard rails on the upper bunk need to be a minimum of 5 inches above the mattress, and the gaps between them should be small enough that a child's head, arms, or torso can't pass through. If your bunk bed comes with a ladder, it should be securely secured and positioned at least 5 inches away from the end of the guardrails on either side. Ladders must have safety stops, and should be constructed from solid, sturdy materials.
Kids should be taught to use the ladder only, never climbing onto or off the bunks in any other manner. This will avoid injuries resulting from falls or tripping on furniture. It will also help stop the use of the upper bunk as a playground or climbing frame, and ensure that only those who are capable of sleeping on it can be able to do so.

Heavy occupants can put excessive stress on the bunk which can cause it to collapse. It is recommended that mattresses on the top bunk are 6 to 8 inches thick. This will ensure the best balance between security and comfort.
