Some standard bunk bed designs use a straight staircase, while others feature an angled or a staircase that has handrails. Both options are safe and simple for children to climb, but the style you pick will depend on the amount of floor space available in your room. Straight ladders require less space, whereas stairs provide more safety features, such as handrails and storage built-in.

The mattress size of the top bunk is also a crucial consideration. It is crucial that the mattress in the top bunk isn't too thick. This could cause the sleeping person to fall and become injured. Most bunk bed manufacturers recommend a full-size mattress for the top bunk, and an equivalent twin mattress or twin XL mattress for the bottom bunk.

A mattress that is deeper could cause the side guards of the Fusion Raised Pine Bunk Bed - 4ft 6 Double bed to move away from the wall. This could lead to an unintentional fall from the bed. In the same way, the bottom bunk mattress should be supported by slats or wires that run directly underneath and secured securely at both ends. If a mattress was only held up by the bed frame, or slats, it could fall down to the bottom bunk, causing injury to the child.

It is also important to select a ladder that allows your child to safely climb up to the top bunk.
