Each year, bunk and loft beds are the cause of injuries to thousands of children, including head and neck fractures, broken bones and cuts and scrapes. Most of these injuries can be avoided or prevented by implementing the right safety measures. The first step is to make sure the bunk or loft bed is placed correctly in the room. It shouldn't be set against the wall as this could result in children being trapped between the wall and the top of the bunk bed. Instead, leave a space of at least 3.5 inches between the bottom edge of the guard rail and the top of the mattress foundation. When positioning the bunk bed ensure that it is not in close proximity to things like blinds, curtains, windows and ceiling fans that can obstruct the view of a child or cause her to fall off the bunk's side. The bunk bed should not be placed near anything that could hang on 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 sturdy materials like pine or steel. Another option for a secure and comfortable bed is a slatted platform frame. Loft beds and bunk beds with a solid platform or slats do not require a box spring which is more secure for children. In addition to the frame, look for loft beds that have guardrails on both sides of the top and a ladder that can be locked in 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 children find their way down in the dark. Another important safety precaution is to put up a loft safety net which attaches to the corners of the top bunk and prevents children from falling off. These nets are available in various colors and sizes to match any decor in the bedroom. They are also easy to put up.
