However, other sizes of mattresses such as full, queen or twin XL can also be used. In addition the height of the top mattress can be adjusted to increase or decrease the space between the mattress and the ceiling. Some manufacturers suggest that there be at least 6-8 inches of clearance between bottom of mattress and the top of slats. This will ensure that top sleepers have enough room to move about and not be able to hit their heads on the ceiling when climbing in or out of the bed.

Safety Bunk beds are a popular option for kids' rooms. They can be hazardous, however, if they are not inspected and built in a safe manner. Every year, approximately 36,000 accidents involving bunk beds need emergency room treatment. Fortunately, the majority of these injuries are minor. Children younger than 5 are at most risk of injuries because they don't have a fully developed sense of space. They are more likely to make use of their beds to play and jump off the top bunk. The American Academy of Pediatrics advises parents not to let their children younger than six years old sleep on the top bunk. Following a few basic guidelines can aid parents in ensuring that their children's bunk beds are secure. A ladder should not be placed in the bunk bed instead, it should be placed on the outside. Also, the rails should be at least five inches higher than the mattress, and the space for climbing into and out of bed should not exceed fifteen inches. Finally bed frames are not to be placed close to a window or behind furniture that could fall onto children as they sleep. When building a bunk bed parents must follow the instructions of the manufacturer to the letter. Screws should be tightened securely but not so tight that they scratch the wood. The bunk bed should also not creak or move. It is also a good idea to have the bunk beds professionally inspected when they are put together and test them by a professional before allowing children to use them. Bunk beds can free up space in a child's room and can add style. But it is vital that parents set ground rules for their children, and monitor their beds carefully to avoid injuries.
