Every year, approximately 36,000 bunk bed-related injuries require emergency room treatment. Fortunately, the majority of these injuries are minor. Younger children are at the most risk of injury because they don’t have a full-blown sense of space. They are more likely to use their beds to play and jump off the top bunk. This is one reason why the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends parents do not let children under six years old to sleep on their top bunk.

Parents can ensure that their children’s bunk bed is safe by following a few simple guidelines. For instance a ladder must be put on the outside of the bunk and not inside of it. Additionally, the rails must be at least five inches above the mattress and the opening for climbing into and out of the bed should not be wider than fifteen inches. Finally, the beds should not be placed close to a window or behind furniture that could fall on children while they sleep.

Parents must strictly adhere to the guidelines of the manufacturer when building a bunk bed. Screws should be tightened securely but not to the point that they crack the wood. The bed should not creak or move.
