Size

Other mattress sizes like queen, full, or twin XL, may also be used. The height of the top bed can be adjusted in order to increase or decrease the space between the ceiling and sleeping beds.
Some manufacturers recommend that there should be at least 6-8 inches of space between the mattress's bottom and the top of slats. This will ensure that the top sleepers have enough space to move about and not be able to hit their heads on the ceiling when climbing in or out of the bed. A guard rail is usually located at the bottom of the mattress to prevent the possibility of falling while sleeping.

Safety
Bunk beds can be ideal for a child's bedroom. They can be hazardous, however, if they are not properly inspected and constructed. Each year, about 36,000 bunk bed-related injuries require emergency room treatment. Fortunately, the majority of these injuries are not serious. The risk of injury is highest for younger children, as they do not have a clear sense of space. They are also more likely to leap onto or off the top bunk, and also to use their beds for play. This is one of the reasons why the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends parents to not allow children younger than six to sleep on the top bunk.
Parents can make sure their children's bunk bed is safe by following a few basic rules. A ladder should not be placed inside the bunk bed, but on the outside. Additionally, the rails must be at least five inches over the mattress, and the space for climbing in and out of bed should not be wider than fifteen inches. Additionally the beds should not be set in close proximity to windows or behind furniture that could fall on children while they sleep.
Parents should follow the instructions of the manufacturer when building a bunkbed. Screws should not be tightened so tightly as to crack the wood. The bed should not squeak or move. It is also a good idea to get the bunk beds checked by an expert after they have been assembled, and to have an expert test them prior to giving your children the ability to use them.
Bunk beds are a great option to reduce space and give a stylish look to a child's bedroom. However, it is essential that parents establish a set of rules for their children and supervise them carefully to avoid injury. It is also a great idea to install a nightlight in the room, and to instruct your children that hanging items from beds isn't safe. This could pose a risk of strangulation. Children should be taught not to be rough with one another around furniture and beds.
