Benefits of Bunk Beds

• Space saving: Bunk beds are a good way of sleeping two children in the same room and saving the space that a second cot would take up.
• Privacy for each child: Bunk beds give children their own private sleeping space despite sharing the same room.
• Doubles up as a desk: A bunk bed such as the VITVAL loft bed frame with a desktop allows you to place a desk and create a study area under the bed. This leaves more space in the room for play or other furniture.

Guidelines for Using of Bunk Beds

• Assemble bunk beds as instructed, with no parts of hardware missing. The bunk bed should be placed on a level floor and be stable. Check the bed, ladder and guard rails periodically for safety. If the manufacturer recommends it, use an anchor to prevent tipping over the bunk bed.
• There should be no gap between a bunk bed and a wall. The room should be tall enough to fit in a bunk bed as per the manufacturer’s instructions. The top level should not allow access to electrical fittings and ceiling fans for safety reasons.
• Use the correct size mattress for the bed. The thickness of the mattress should be such that the top of the mattress should be at least 5 inches lower than the guard rails for safety reasons.
• Night lights make it easier for children to use the bunk bed ladder at night. Children should not be allowed to use an upper bunk bed for playing.
• Avoid attaching handles or ropes to the bed as they might cause a hazard.
• Entry and exit to the bunk bed should be via the ladder only.
• Do not use water mattresses on a bunk bed.
