What Ages are Kids Bunk Beds Suitable for?

Kids bunk beds are typically suitable for children aged 6 years and older. This age recommendation is mainly due to safety concerns, as younger children might not have the necessary motor skills or awareness to navigate the ladder and the height of the top bunk safely. 


For children under 6, the lower bunk or a separate toddler bed is advised. It's also essential to consider the child's maturity level and their ability to adhere to safety rules when using a bunk bed. As children grow, bunk beds can continue to be an excellent space-saving solution through their teenage years, especially models designed to accommodate more weight and larger mattresses

How Do You Make the Top Bunk Safer?

Many parents hesitate to buy bunk beds as they think that these beds are unsafe. Here are our top tips to make sure your kids stay safe in their bunk beds. 

  • The first thing to do is to install guardrails on all sides of the upper bunk, ensuring they are at least 5 inches higher than the mattress to prevent falls. 

  • Choose a sturdy wooden kids bunk bed or metal kids bunk bed with a properly attached ladder and teach your children how to use it safely. 

  • Consider placing the bunk bed against a wall to reduce the risk of rolling out, but ensure there's no gap large enough for a child to become trapped between the bed and the wall. 

  • Regularly check the bed's structure for any damage or loosening of parts. 

  • Lastly, set clear rules for the top bunk, such as no rough play, to encourage safe use.

Can Bunk Beds be Separated into Two Individual Beds?

Many bunk beds are designed with the flexibility to be separated into two individual beds, offering longevity and adaptability as children grow and space needs change. This feature is especially common in our wooden frame bunk beds, where the stacked design can be dismantled to create two separate, identical beds. When purchasing one of our kids bunk beds,  look for models advertised with this capability. It's important to retain all original parts and follow the manufacturer's instructions for separating and safely reassembling the beds to ensure structural integrity.

What Types of Mattresses are Suitable for Kids Bunk Beds?

For kids bunk beds, the most suitable mattresses are typically twin-sized, with a focus on low-profile designs to ensure safety on the top bunk.

A mattress that's too thick can exceed the height of the safety rails, increasing the risk of falls. Foam mattresses are popular choices due to their supportive and comfortable nature, but it's essential to check the maximum mattress height recommended by the bunk bed manufacturer. 

Consider the mattress's durability, firmness, and whether it provides adequate support for growing children, ensuring a good balance between comfort and safety.
