Some beds have guardrails built into the frame. This can provide an additional layer of security for children. This is particularly beneficial in small bedrooms, where a bunk bed can be tricky to navigate without putting yourself at risk of falling over furniture or other objects in the room.
It is also important to not put the bed too close to blinds (especially cords), windows, heaters or ceiling fans. The bed being too close to the wall could cause serious injury and even entrapment. A mid-sleeper or cabin bed should be at minimum 3.5" from the wall to minimize the risk.
