🛡️ Safety Standards & Guidelines

Are your beds safe for kids?

Yes. All our bunk and loft beds meet U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards and ASTM F1427 safety requirements. This includes:

• Continuous guardrails on both sides of top bunks
• Guardrail gaps no larger than 3.5 inches (prevents entrapment)
• Guardrails extending at least 5 inches above the mattress surface
• Sturdy ladder construction with proper spacing
• End structures extending 5 inches above mattress for at least half the bed length
• Compliance with weight capacity standards

What safety features are included?

Every bunk and loft bed includes essential safety features:

• Guardrails: Full-length rails on both sides of elevated sleeping surfaces
• Secure Ladder: Firmly attached with anti-slip rungs or steps
• Sturdy Construction: Solid wood, steel, or engineered wood meeting strength standards
• Warning Labels: Permanent safety labels with age and usage guidelines

What safety rules should my family follow?

Essential Safety Rules:

1. Age Restriction: No children under 6 years old on top bunks
2. One Person Only: Never allow more than one person on the top bunk at a time
3. Use the Ladder: Always use the ladder for entering and leaving — never jump off
4. No Horseplay: Do not allow jumping, roughhousing, or playing on the beds
5. Keep Clear: Position bed away from ceiling fans, lights, windows, and hanging objects
6. Remove Hazards: No curtains, cords, ropes, scarves, or belts near the bed (strangulation risk)
7. Proper Mattress: Always use the recommended mattress size and thickness
8. Regular Checks: Periodically inspect all screws, bolts, and connections for tightness

How do I prevent falls from the top bunk?

• Use a mattress no thicker than 6-8 inches to maintain proper guardrail height
• Ensure guardrails extend at least 5 inches above the mattress top
• Keep guardrails in place at all times — never remove them
• Teach children to stay in the center of the bed while sleeping
• Consider placing the bunk bed in a corner for added wall protection
• Use nightlights so children can see when using the ladder at night

What about strangulation hazards?

Critical Safety Warning:

• Never attach or hang items to any part of the bunk bed not designed for that purpose
• Keep the bed away from window blind cords, curtain ties, and drapery cords
• Do not allow children to wear clothing with drawstrings, hoods, scarves, or capes to bed
• Remove all ropes, belts, jump ropes, and similar items from the sleeping area
• Guardrail gaps are designed to be no larger than 3.5 inches to prevent head entrapment
