The double bunk beds are perfect for siblings who share a room. Just remember that it's recommended that the child who sleeps on the upper level is over six years old and that you do not allow horseplay or jumping on beds.
Be sure that the mattress foundation doesn't have large gaps which could let the child to pass through.
Safety
Bunk beds can be a safe space for children to sleep in if they are installed correctly and if the parents adhere to certain safety guidelines. The first step is to make sure that the bunk bed is set in a corner to ensure that it doesn't wobble when kids climb up and down the ladder.
It is also essential to teach children not to play on or around the bunk bed, and to get rid of any toys that could be tripping hazards. Children should be taught to use the ladder whenever they need to enter or exit the upper bunk.
Children shouldn't be allowed to sleep on the top bunk unless they're older than six years old. This is because younger children are likely to lack the maturity and coordination necessary to safely navigate the ladder. It is also important to make sure that the guardrails are secured to the bunk above and there aren't any gaps where children might slip through to be trapped under the bed.
The foundation of the lower and upper bunks should be built of solid wood and not slats. Slat-based systems can collapse when weighed down and can cause serious injuries. It is also recommended to strengthen the bottom bunk with cross ties to prevent it from shifting or buckling due to the weight of the children.
It is a good idea, if the child will be sleeping alone on the bottom bunk, to attach a safety rail. This will stop the child from falling off the edge of the bunk should they get up in the night.
Another safety measure that is easy to implement is to ensure that the bunk bed isn't placed directly under a ceiling fan. This will decrease the chance of injuries or accidents when the ceiling fan is on. The bunk bed should be kept away from windows to reduce the possibility that children might attempt to get into the windows from the upper levels.
