Ladders are more affordable and easy to set up and offer an easy way to climb into the top bunk. They are also considered to be safer than staircases, because they have a larger area for children to step on and have a built-in handrail. Ladders also tend to have grooves on the steps, which can prevent slippage while climbing up or down the bed. If you prefer the design and look of stairs, they could make a more elegant addition for your bunk bed. They can also be used in rooms with limited space since they do not protrude like ladders. They are typically made of metal or wood and can complement a variety of bedroom styles. Some staircases have integrated storage drawers. They are a great way to add more space to the bunk bed. When choosing between a staircase and a ladder, you should also consider the age of your child. It is recommended that no one sleeps on the top bunk below the age of 6, children who are comfortable with vertical climbing might be better off using stairs rather than a ladder.

A straight staircase on the side of the bed requires 95” of space on each side. If you do not have enough space, you can opt for the u-shaped stairs that doesn't require as much room but still allows you to get access to the top bunk in a safe and securely. Some beds come with the option of removing the stairs when they're not in use, which further reduces their footprint and makes them more suited for multipurpose rooms. You can also find stairs that connect to the end of the bed, which eliminates the requirement for a separate handrail, and makes it easier for children to climb up and down.

Guardrails should be secured to the bunk bed's structure and must not be removed without the use tools. The openings in the guardrails over the mattress foundation should not be greater than 3.5 inches to avoid entrapment and strangulation. To test this, insert the wedge block as shown in Figure 1 into each opening on the lower edge of the topmost member of the guardrail and above the underside of the mattress foundation. Apply an amount of 33 lbf (147 N) in a perpendicular direction to the plane of the larger edge of the block for a minute. It's a good idea to inform your children to not hang any objects on the ladder or guardrail, such as clothing, belts, and sporting equipment. Instead, you should use a rack for clothes to stop these objects from becoming a strangulation risk for your child.
