The majority of bunk beds have an escalator or ladder built into the frame. For safety reasons, the ladder's height should be no higher than 5 to 6 feet away from the ceiling. This will prevent bumps on heads while making sure that the kid sleeping on the top bunk doesn't get too high up.

For added safety, choose a ladder with grooved anti-slip steps as well as hand hole cutouts that make it easier for children to hold on to while they climb.
