Every year, bunk beds and loft beds are the cause of injuries to thousands of children, including neck and head fractures, broken bones and cuts and scrapes. Luckily, most of these injuries can be prevented or avoided by putting the proper security measures in place. The first thing to do is make sure that the bunk bed or loft bed is properly placed in the room. It should not be against the wall since this could cause children to be wedged between the bunk's wall and the top of the mattress. Allow a space of at minimum 3 inches between the bottom of the guardrail and the top of your mattress foundation. When placing the bunk be sure to keep it away from curtains, blinds and windows that might hinder a child's view or cause them to fall off. The bunk bed should not be positioned close to anything that hangs from the rails, like cords or toys. Any bunk bed or loft bed must have an incredibly solid and sturdy frame. Look for a frame constructed of sturdy materials such as metal or pine. Another option for a safe and comfortable bed is a slatted platform or frame. Loft beds and bunk beds with an solid platform or slats don't require a box spring which is more secure for children. Find a loft that has guardrails either side of the top level, and a ladder you can secure. Children who are younger than six years old should not sleep on the top bunk. Be sure to remind them of the dangers of sleeping on top bunks by reminding them often. A night light on the top bunk can aid children in finding their way down in the dark. A loft safety net is another important security measure. It is attached to the corners of the top bunk to stop children from falling. The nets are available in different colors and sizes to match any decor in the bedroom. They are also simple to set up.
