Safety Loft beds and bunk beds are a favorite among children, but they come with risks. Children are often injured by loft and bunk beds each year, including broken bones, cuts and scrapes, as well as neck and head injuries. The majority of these injuries can be prevented and avoided by implementing the right safety measures. The first thing to do is make sure that the bunk bed or loft bed is placed correctly in the room. It should not be against the wall, as this could cause children to get trapped between the bunk's wall and the top of the mattress. 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 you are putting the bunk bed up ensure that it is not in close proximity to things like curtains, blinds windows, ceiling fans and blinds which could block a child's view or cause her to fall off the bunk's side. The bunk should not be close to anything that can hang from the rails, including cords or toys. A solid, sturdy frame is essential for any bunk or loft bed. Find a frame constructed of sturdy materials like pine or steel. A platform or frame with slats is another option that could be comfortable and safe for your kids. Bunk and loft bed with an slatted solid platform or solid platform do not require boxsprings, making it safer for children. In addition to the frame, look for a loft bed that includes guardrails on both sides of the top level, as well as an incline that can be locked into place. Children younger than six years old should never sleep on the top bunk and make sure you enforce this rule by regularly reminding them of the dangers. A night light on the top bunk can aid children in finding their way down in the darkness. A loft safety net is another important precaution to take. It attaches at the corners of the top bunk to prevent children from falling. The nets are available in various sizes and colors to fit any bedroom decor. They are also simple to set up.
