Safety
Kids enjoy loft beds and bunk beds, but they're not free of dangers. Every year, bunk beds and loft beds are the cause of injuries to thousands of children, which include neck and head fractures, broken bones and scrapes and cuts. Luckily, most of these injuries are preventable and easily avoided by putting the proper safety measures in place.
The first step is to make sure the bunk or loft bed is properly positioned in the room. It shouldn't be in direct contact with the wall, as this could cause children to become wedged between the wall of the bunk and the top of the mattress. Allow a space of at three inches between the bottom of the guardrail and the top of the mattress foundation.
When placing the bunk, make sure it's away from curtains, blinds and windows that could hinder a child's view or cause them to fall off. The bunk should also not be situated near anything that can hang from the rails, such as cords or toys.
A solid, sturdy frame is essential for any bunk or loft bed. Select a frame made from durable materials such as metal or pine. A platform or slatted frame is another option that can be comfortable and safe for your kids. Loft and bunk beds that have an solid platform or slats do not require a box spring, which is safer for young children.
In addition to the frame, look for an loft bed that has guardrails on both sides of the top and ladders that can be locked to the bed. Children less than six years old shouldn't sleep on the top bunk. Make sure to warn children of the dangers by reminding them regularly. Also, a night lighting placed on the top bunk will aid children in finding their way back to the bottom in the dark.
A loft safety net is another important safety measure. It is attached to the corners of the top bunk to prevent children from falling. The nets are available in a variety of sizes and colors to match any decor in the bedroom and are simple to install.
