Most bunk mattress manufacturers recommend a full-size mattress for the top bunk and a twin-size mattress or a twin XL mattress for the bottom bunk.

The top mattress should not be more than 15cm, and it should fit snugly within the rails that guard the bunk bed. A mattress that is more deep could cause the side guards of the bunk bed to move away from the wall. This could lead to an unintentional fall from bed. In the same way, the mattress on the bottom of the bunk should be supported by wires or slats that are directly underneath and secured securely at both ends. If a mattress is held up solely by the bed frame or slats, it could fall through into the bottom bunk, causing injury to the child who sleeps at that level.
