The ladder should be secured to the back of the frame for the bunk and should not extend more than 5 inches higher than the top railings or the end panels.

The ladder's width should be proportional to the child's height and age to allow them to easily use it. It is also recommended to choose an ladder with cushioned treads. These ladders will have a tread that is grippy and will reduce the chance of falling off the bunk.

Although the maximum capacity of the top bunk is typically stated as being at or above the standard twin mattress, the majority of manufacturers recommend that the top bunk is used only with a mattress that is no thicker than 4 to 6 inches. If the mattress is more dense, the sleeper could end up being taller than the rails that guard it, which can pose a risk.
