A few of these accidents have resulted in severe brain and spinal injuries, requiring surgery and long-term care. To prevent accidents Loft beds must be built to meet certain safety standards. The guardrails on the lower bunk should be at least 5 inches away from the top of the mattress and the space between the guardrails should be not more than 3 inches wide. It is also crucial that the loft's height isn't too high. It should be low enough that children who are younger than 6 years old can reach it safely, and the top of the bed should be no higher than the top slat of the wall-mounted guardrail. Addition of a ladder or stairs can also improve safety. Ladders can be a great way for children to climb up and down the loft bed without occupying any floor space. Ladders must have a handrail and be angled to ensure stability. Stairs are often safer for kids than ladders, but they require more floor space to function. For other safety precautions, loft beds should have ladders and steps that are properly installed and maintained. They should also use mattresses with a higher surface than standard. Children should also be taught to sleep only in bunk beds with an adult present.
