When you are purchasing a bunk bed you should pay attention to whether it has safety rails on the four sides. The gap between the bed frame and the bottom of the guard rail should also not exceed a distance of 3.5 inches.

The bunk bed mattress needs to be designed so that it fits into all fours corners of the bed frame and in fact cross ties should be included underneath the mattress.
Bunk bed mattresses are not only available in many sizes, but also in many styles and thicknesses. As with many other types of mattress you can choose firm or soft mattresses depending on your specifications. You can also buy customized mattresses if you find that the bunk bed needs it, or you'd prefer the comfort and benefits it brings.
