Frame

Safety
Bunk beds are the ideal space-savers for kids' bedrooms. Bunk beds can be exciting and thrilling accessories to help children sleep through the night. However, they could pose some safety issues especially if the proper measures aren't taken to ensure their durability and security.
To ensure that you don't have any issues concerning your bunk bed it is important to purchase a bed that has been tested by a third party to meet the strict safety standards. You should also make sure that the ladder is sturdy with wide, non-slip steps to avoid accidents. It's also a good idea to consider installing safety railings on the top bunk. Also, be aware that some bunk beds can have weight limits on the top of the bed that could put children at risk if they go over this limit.
The size of the bunk bed is also important to take into consideration. You must select one that is able to fit in your room and doesn't block any windows and doors. It must also be able to accommodate the size of mattress you choose. In the end, you should be able to easily move the bunk bed and swap the mattresses without too much hassle.
