Some standard bunk bed designs have straight staircases some have an angled staircase that has handrails.

Straight ladders require less space, while stairs can provide more safety features, such as handrails, built-in storage and even built-in shelves.

The size of the mattress of the top bunk is also an important consideration. It is important to ensure that your top bunk's mattress isn't overly thick, as it could cause a sleeping person to fall off of the bunk and hurt themselves. Most bunk bed manufacturers suggest that you use a twin-size or full-size mattress on the top bunk, and twin XL or twin-sized mattresses for the bottom bunk.

When selecting a bunk bed you must also consider the age of your children. Children younger than six years old should not be sleeping on the top bunk since they are at risk of falling and injure themselves.
