Safety is paramount. Hence, while our bunk beds exude charm, they are typically recommended for children aged 9 and above - however, it is ultimately up to you as a parent to gauge your little one’s suitability for bunk use.

Beyond the evident space-saving advantage, bunk beds are memory-making furniture. From hosting sleepovers to optimising small room spaces, they're practical marvels. But more than that, they're the vessels of whispered secrets and tales of midnight escapades between siblings, fostering bonds that echo through time.

Ensuring safety on the top bunk is paramount.

• Start by choosing a bunk bed with high guardrails to prevent roll-offs.
• Make sure the guardrails are securely attached and extend at least 36cm from the base to the top of the side rail.
• Select a mattress of appropriate thickness to ensure it doesn’t rise above these guardrails. We recommend that the top bunk mattress not exceed 20cm, as anything thicker than this will minimise the height of the guard rail.
• Opt for a sturdy ladder with anti-slip steps and always instruct kids to use both hands when climbing. A staircase might also make for a more comfortable climb to the top bunk!
• Regularly inspect the bunk bed for any signs of wear or damage (including loose bolts) to ensure it remains a safe haven for sleep.

Choosing between the top and bottom bunk often boils down to personal preference. Many kids find the top bunk alluring, relishing the elevated view and feeling of having a personal perch. It can also offer a sense of adventure and novelty.

However, the bottom bunk provides easier access, is generally cooler as heat rises, and might be safer for younger children. Both options offer unique experiences, and it's crucial to align the choice with the child's comfort and safety requirements.
