They are available in a broad variety of styles and configurations, from classic twin over full to futon to L-shaped. The majority of bunk beds come with ladders. They are easy to climb and require less space than stairs. Some bunks have a fixed staircase while others have an incline on the left or right side of the long bunk.

Other sizes of mattresses like queen full, twin, or XL, can also be used. In addition, the height of the top mattress can be adjusted to increase or decrease the distance between sleepers and the ceiling. Some manufacturers suggest that there be at least 6 to 8 inches of clearance between the bottom of the mattress and the top of the slats. This will ensure that top sleepers have enough room to move about and not be able to hit their heads on the ceiling when climbing in or out of the bed. A guard rail is often located on the bottom of the mattress to avoid the possibility of falling while sleeping.

Every year, around 36,000 bunk bed-related injuries require emergency room treatment. Fortunately, the majority of these injuries are minor. The risk of injury is greatest for children who are younger, as they lack a full sense of space. They are also more likely to leap on or off the upper bunk and utilize their beds for play. The American Academy of Pediatrics advises parents not to let children younger than six years old sleep on the top bunk. Following a few basic guidelines can help parents ensure that their children's bunk beds are secure. For example ladders should be placed on the outside of the bunk and not inside of it. The rails must be at least 5 inches above the mattress, and the opening to get in and out of the bed should not exceed 15 inches. The beds should also not be placed near windows or behind clutter which could fall on children as they sleep. When building a bunk bed, parents should follow the instructions of the manufacturer to the letter. Screws should not be tightened so much that they crack the wood. The bunk bed should also not squeak or move. It is also a good idea to get the bunk beds inspected by a professional after they are assembled, and to have an expert test them prior to giving your children the ability to use them.
