It should not be against the wall since this could cause children to become stuck between the bunk's wall and the top. Instead, you should leave a space of at minimum 3.5 inches between the bottom edge of the guard rail and the top of the mattress foundation. When positioning the bunk bed ensure that it is away from things like blinds, curtains, windows and ceiling fans that could block the view of a child, or cause her to fall off the bunk's side. The bunk should not be placed near anything that can hang from the rails, such as cords or toys. Every loft or bunk bed should have an incredibly solid and sturdy frame. Pick a frame constructed of sturdy materials like metal or pine. Another option for a secure and comfortable bed is a slatted platform frame.

A loft safety net is another important security measure. It attaches at the corners of the top bunk to keep children from falling. These nets come in a variety of sizes and colors to match any bedroom decor. They are also easy to put up.
