Every year, bunk and loft beds are the cause of injuries to thousands of children, including neck and head fractures, broken bones and cuts and scrapes. Fortunately, the majority of injuries can be prevented and easily avoided by putting the proper precautions in place. The first step is to make sure the bunk or loft bed is placed correctly in the room. It shouldn't be in direct contact with the wall since this could cause children to be stuck between the wall of the bunk and the top of the mattress. You should leave at minimum 3 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 may block a child’s view or cause them to fall off. The bunk bed should not be positioned close to anything that hangs from the rails such as cords or toys. A solid, sturdy frame is essential for any bunk or loft bed. Choose a frame that is constructed of strong materials such as steel or pine. Another option for a secure and comfortable bed is a slatted platform or frame. Bunk and loft bed with a solid slatted platform or solid platform doesn't require a boxspring, which is more secure for children. Look for a loft that has guardrails on both sides of the upper level, and a ladder you can lock into place. Children less than six years old should not sleep on the top bunk. Make sure to warn them of the dangers by reminding them regularly. A night light placed on the top bunk may help kids find their own way down in the darkness. Another crucial safety measure is to install a loft safety net that can be attached to the corners of the top bunk to prevent children from falling off. These nets are available in a wide assortment of sizes and colors that will match any decor in the bedroom, and they are easy to install.
