Guard rails are an essential security feature. They should be on the top and bottom bunks. They should be made of solid wood and securely fastened to the frame of the bunk. Additionally any holes, gaps or openings in the frame of a bunk bed need to be small enough to prevent children's heads, legs or torsos from getting caught in them. To avoid tripping hazards, it's a good idea ensure that any ladders and steps used to climb the bunk bed frame are either part or the frame itself.

Another important safety rule is to not let children younger than six to sleep on the top bunk.

In addition to that it's recommended to establish specific rules regarding the use of the bunk bed, and to emphasize that the top bunk isn't for playing, jumping or for anything else.

These add-ons are stationed underneath the lower bed and can be used to hold clothing or blankets. They also give extra space for sleepovers during visits from guests.

Besides under-bed drawers, trundles can be added to bunk beds in the shape of mattresses that can be pulled out beneath the bottom bed and are accessible with just a few steps. This can provide a comfortable spot for a second sleeper when guests are visiting and eliminates the need to pull out an air mattress.

Safety features are essential for anyone considering purchasing a bunk bed. Make sure there are side rails on the upper and lower bunks to prevent children from falling off the top bunk. It is also important to think about how thick of a mattress you can comfortably fit on the top bunk, as a thick mattress can cause a sleeper to fall off of the rails of guards while asleep and hurt himself or herself.

The type of ladder that you choose for your bunk beds is another choice for safety. Certain types of bunk beds come with a long ladder that connects the lower and upper guard rails, whereas other types offer an easier ladder that connects to the front of the upper guard rail. The latter is ideal for children as it makes the climb to the top bunk more comfortable and more secure.
