2. Safety Information
Your safety and the safety of others are paramount. Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in serious injury. This bunk bed is certified by the Children's Product Certificate (CPC).
- Top Bunk Age Restriction: The top bunk is not suitable for children under six years of age.
- Weight Capacity: Do not exceed the maximum weight limits. The upper bed has a weight capacity of 300 lbs, and the bottom bed has a weight capacity of 600 lbs.
- Guardrails: Always use the provided guardrails on the upper bunk. Ensure they are properly installed and secured.
- Ladder Safety: Always supervise children while using the ladder. Ensure the ladder is securely attached before use.
- Mattress Requirements: Use only mattresses of the specified size and thickness to ensure proper guardrail height. For the Twin XL upper bunk, use a mattress that is 79-80 inches long and 38-39 inches wide. For the Queen lower bunk, use a mattress that is 79-80 inches long and 59-60 inches wide. The mattress thickness for the upper bunk should not exceed 6 inches to maintain adequate guardrail height.
- No Jumping: Do not allow jumping on the bed.
- Regular Checks: Periodically check and tighten all fasteners.
- Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation around the bunk bed.
- Low Bunk Height: Be cautious of the low bunk height (40 inches between beds) to avoid head injuries when sitting up on the lower bunk.
