Guardrails
Bunk beds are perfect for kids' rooms since they permit you to put two or more beds into the space which would otherwise be too small for them. The best bunk bed for children is one that provides a comfortable sleeping area, plenty of space for toys and books and plenty of storage space to keep their belongings neatly organized. It should also be equipped with safety features, like guard rails and ladders they are able to easily climb.
When you are looking for the perfect bunk for your child, make sure you choose guardrails that are integrated into the design and don't require any additional hardware or attachments. This eliminates all security concerns, and makes sure that your child's bunk bed is a safe sleeping place at night. You can also buy guardrails on your own that work with all types of bunk beds. They are generally less expensive but are exactly as effective as built-in ones.
Make sure the guardrails on bunk beds are at least five inches higher than the mattress. This will help prevent children from climbing over the guardrails, and possibly falling off of the bed. Check that the guardrails fit well and are secure. A weak or loose guardrail can collapse under the weight of a child, causing injuries.
