Safety Standards

Please check out our latest Safety Newsletter: Why Safety?
University Loft Company retail collections have been tested to meet Consumer Product Safety Commission safety standards.  

 

 

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, thousands of children under age 15 receive hospital emergency room treatment for injuries associated with bunk beds each year. Although most of these injuries are fairly minor, some prior cases have involved entrapped children that have resulted in suffocation or strangulation deaths

  


At ULC, we care about our customers' safety. Below are important bed safety items to pay attention to in order to protect your youngster.

Guardrails

  • Always use two side guardrails
  • Ensure there is no gap between the lower edge of the guardrails and the upper edge of the bed frame that measures more than 3 ½ inches

Mattresses

  • Use only proper-sized, manufacturer-recommended mattresses

 

  

Choosing the Right Bed For You

  • Look for a ladder that is secured to the bed frame to ensure a child will be climbing into bed safely
  • Find a bed that can be separated to form two single beds or designed in other configurations, in case a child may not be able to sleep on the top bunk, or room layouts require change

And Finally…

  • Discuss safety concerns and the proper usage of bunk beds with your children
  • Allow only children six years or older to sleep on upper bunks
  • Follow instructions carefully when assembling a new bunk bed

Replacement parts, including additional guardrails, may be obtained from any of our University Loft dealers
