Thousands of children are injured by loft and bunk beds every year, resulting in broken bones, cuts and scrapes, as well as neck and head injuries. Most of these injuries can be prevented and avoided by taking the appropriate precautions. The first step is to ensure the bunk or loft bed is properly positioned in the room. It shouldn't be in direct contact with the wall, as this could cause children to get trapped between the wall of the bunk and the top. Instead, 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 putting the bunk in place ensure that it is away from blinds, curtains and windows that could block a child’s view or cause them to fall off. The bunk should not be placed near anything that can hang from the rails, including cords or toys. A solid, sturdy frame is a must for any bunk or loft bed.

It attaches at the corners of the top bunk to stop children from falling. These nets are available in a wide assortment of sizes and colors to fit any decor in the bedroom and are easy to install.
