It shouldn't be in direct contact with the wall as this can cause children to get stuck between the bunk's wall and the top of the mattress. There should be at least 3 inches between the bottom of the guardrail and the top of your mattress foundation. When positioning the bunk bed, be sure that it is away from things like curtains, blinds windows, and ceiling fans which could block a child's view or cause her to fall off the bunk's edge. The bunk bed should not be placed near anything that could hang from the rails, like toys or cords. A bunk bed or loft bed must be built with an incredibly solid and sturdy frame. Look for a frame constructed of sturdy materials such as metal or pine. Another option for a secure and comfortable bed is a slatted or slatted frame.

Look for a loft that has guardrails either side of the top level and a ladder that you can secure.

Also an evening light placed on the top bunk will help kids find their way back to the bottom in the darkness. A loft safety net is another important precaution to take. It is attached to the corners of the top bunk to keep children from falling. These nets are available in a wide range of sizes and colors to match any decor in the bedroom and are simple to set up.
