Safety
Bunk beds can be a secure option for sleeping provided they are properly constructed and maintained. They need to be positioned away from things that could pose dangers, such as blinds (and their cords), ceiling fans, windows, and lights. They must also stay clear of furniture such as tables and chairs that could be used to climb or descend the top bunk.
The guardrails on the top bunk must be at least 5 inches above the mattress, and the gap between them should be small enough that a child's head arms or torso cannot traverse through. If your bunk bed is equipped with ladders, they should be securely secured and positioned at least 5 inches from the edge of the guardrails on each side. Ladders should be equipped with safety stops and should be constructed of sturdy, solid materials.
Children should be taught to only use the ladder and never climb onto or off the bunks in any other way. This will help prevent injuries caused by falls or tripping over furniture. This will also stop the upper bunk from being used as an exercise frame or playground.
Manufacturers should clearly define the weight limit for the top bunk and children should be encouraged to follow the limit.

It is also essential to teach kids the proper methods of getting in and out of the bunk bed, so that they don't use it as an area for play or treat it as an animal for clothes.
