A key safety feature to look for is guard rails on both the bottom and top bunks. These rails must be made of solid wood and fastened securely to the frame. Additionally, any gaps, holes or openings in the frame of a bunk bed should be small enough to avoid children's heads, legs or torsos from being stuck in the gaps.

Bunk beds are available in a variety of sizes and styles to fit into any space. They can be even adjusted to meet the preferences of the people sleeping. For instance, if one child likes sleeping on the top bunk and the other one on the bottom, the beds could be arranged in a way that they are facing each other. This allows each person to have their own personal space, yet be surrounded by family members.

Another feature that a lot of bunk bed owners enjoy is having the option of adding under-bed storage drawers or trundles to their frame. These add-ons are stationed underneath the lower bed and can be used to store blankets or clothing. These add-ons can also serve to provide additional space for guests to visit.

Trundles can also be found for bunk beds as pull-out mattresses. They can be accessed by just one step and are situated beneath the bottom bunk bed. This provides an additional sleeping space when guests visit and eliminates the need for an air mattress.

Safety features are essential for anyone considering purchasing bunk beds. Be sure to check for side rails on the upper and lower bunks to stop children from falling off the top bunk. It's also important to take into consideration how thick of a mattress you can fit on the upper bunk because a too thick mattress can cause a sleeping child to fall off the guard rails while asleep and hurt himself or herself.

The type of ladder that you choose for your bunk beds is another security option. Some types of bunk beds come with a long ladder that connects the upper and lower guard rails, whereas other types offer a shorter ladder that is attached to the front of the upper guard rail. This is the best option for children as it makes climbing to the top bunk more secure and easier.
