A mattress that is too deep could cause the guardrails' to collapse. Avoid bunk beds with ladders that extend beyond the frame. These kinds of ladders are more likely to be tangled in curtains or other objects. Children should never play or climb on the side of a bunk bed, and they shouldn't use toys or other items close to or on the ladder. The best place for bunk beds is in the corner of the room so that both beds are hugged by walls on both sides. It is important to keep bunk beds away from ceiling fans and hanging lights because they can be a danger to anyone who bumps their heads against them while seated upright in bed.

Stairs or ladders should be securely anchored to the bunk bed and come with anti-entrapment features to prevent accidents while climbing up and down. It's also a good idea to have a sturdy surface on which kids can climb up and down like carpet or a staircase runners.
