It's also a good idea to make sure that any stairs or ladders used to climb up and down the bunk bed are either part of the frame itself or that they're securely fastened to it, to avoid them becoming loose and causing a tripping hazard.

Another important safety rule is to not let children under the age of six to sleep on the top bunk. Most bunk bed-related injuries occur to children who aren't yet this age, and more than half result from falls. It's a good idea as well, to set clear guidelines for the use of the bunk bed, and to make it clear that the top bunk shouldn't be used for jumping or playing.

Another feature that a lot of people who own bunk beds appreciate is having the option of adding under-bed storage drawers or trundles to their frame. These extras can be put underneath the lower bunk bed to store clothing or blankets. They also provide extra room for sleepovers during visits from guests.

It's also important to take into consideration the thickness of a mattress you can comfortably place on the upper bunk, as too thick of a mattress can cause a sleeper to roll off of the rails that guard them in the middle of sleep and hurt him or herself.
