The space between guardrails shouldn't be greater than 3 1/2 inch to avoid the risk of suffocation. This will also ensure that your child doesn't slide under the guardrail while sleeping. The mattress on the bottom should be supported by slats or wires that are placed directly under the bunk. They should be fastened with a secure nut at both ends to prevent gaps that your child might fall through.
