Safety Information 

Our beds are designed and built with safety as a top priority. They comply with the ASTM F-1427 Standard Consumer Safety Specifications for Bunk Beds and the Government Code of Federal Regulations 1213 and 1513.

To ensure the safe use of our product, we ask that you observe the following safety warnings:

1. Follow the information on the warning label that is inside the packet you received when your bed was delivered. 

2. Use only a mattress meeting the following specifications on the upper bunk to help prevent the likelihood of entrapment or falls. 

               Bed Type                  Length          Mattress Width

• Twin                       74” - 75”        37 1/2” - 38 1/2”

• XL Twin                 79” - 80”        37 1/2” - 38 1/2”

• Full                         74” - 75”        53 1/2” - 54 1/2”                      

3. Ensure that the combined thickness of the mattress does not exceed 8” and that the surface of the mattress is at least 5” below the upper edge of the guardrails.

4. Do not allow children younger than 6 years of age to use the upper bunk.

5. Periodically check bunk beds to ensure that the guardrails, ladder and other components are in their proper position, free from damage, and that all connectors are tight.

6. Do not allow more than one person on the upper bunk. Do not allow jumping on the bed and do not allow horseplay on or under the bed(s).

7. Always use the ladder (or stairs) for entering and exiting the upper bunk.

8. Do not use substitute parts. Contact Maine Bunk Beds should replacement parts be necessary.

9. Use of a night-light may provide an added safety precaution for a child using the upper bunk.

10. Always use guardrails on both long sides of the upper bunk. If the bunk bed will be placed next to a wall, the guardrail that runs the full length of the bed should be placed against the wall to prevent entrapment between the bed and wall.

11. The use of a water or sleep flotation mattresses is prohibited.

• The two beds are stacked together using 4 wooden pins; one in each post.

• If slats are used as a mattress base, they should be rolled out onto the rail frame before setting the mattress.
