Many children are injured by bunk and loft beds each year, including broken bones, cuts and scrapes, as well as neck and head injuries. Fortunately, the majority of injuries are preventable and easily prevented with the proper safety measures in place. The first thing to do is make sure that the bunk bed or loft bed is properly placed in the room. It shouldn't be placed against the wall since this could cause children to get wedged between the bunk's wall and the top of the mattress. Instead, you should leave a space of at minimum 3.5 inches between the bottom edge of the guard rail and the top of the mattress foundation. When positioning the bunk bed, be sure that it is away from things like curtains, blinds windows, ceiling fans and blinds that could block the view of a child, or cause her to fall off the bunk's edge. The bunk bed should not be placed close to anything that hangs from the rails, like toys or cords. A bunk bed or loft bed must be built with an incredibly solid and sturdy frame. Select a frame constructed of durable materials such as metal or pine. A platform or frame with slats is another option that can be safe and comfortable for your kids. Bunk and loft bed with a solid slatted platform solid platform does not require boxsprings, which are safer for children. Find a loft with guardrails either side of the upper level, and a ladder that you can lock into place. Children younger than 6 should never sleep on the top bunk and make sure you enforce this rule regularly by reminding them of the dangers. Also an evening lighting placed on the top bunk can aid kids in finding their way back to the bottom in the darkness. One other important safety measure is to put up 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 to match any bedroom decor and are easy to put up.
