Safety Warnings for Bunk Beds
1.
Read and follow the information on the WARNINGS shown on the end
structure of the upper bunk and on the carton. Do not remove warning label
from the bed. Keep these instructions for future reference.
2.
Always use the recommended size mattress or mattress support, or both, to
help prevent the likelihood of entrapment or falls. The proper mattress sizes
for the
UPPER TWIN-SIZE bunk
should be 74” to 75” long x 37½” to 38½”
wide x 6” high (no higher than 6”) and for the
LOWER TWIN-SIZE bunk
should be 74” to 75” long x 37½” to 38½” wide x 6” to 8” high.

Surface of mattress must be at least 5 inches (127 mm)
BELOW
the upper
edge of guardrails.
4.

components are in their proper position, free from damage, and that all
connectors are tighten and secured.

DO NOT
allow rough
playing or jumping on the bed and do not allow playing or hiding under the
bed.
