Even if parents and children take all precautions, a bunk that is poorly constructed or designed could cause serious and fatal injuries.

Children's bunk beds must meet certain requirements and standards, including safety rails that are at least 5 inches above the mattress's foundation. The guard rails should be sufficient to prevent the child from falling off the top bunk at night, but they should not be too high that it hinders the child's ability to climb or slide down the ladder.

The height of the bunk above is another factor to consider.
