Professional high sleeper safety check - all joints inspected and tightened, ladder secured, guard rails verified. Ensuring your child's raised bed is safe for climbing and sleeping.
Sleep Safe Up High
High sleepers are brilliant for small bedrooms - space underneath for desks or play, cosy sleeping up top. But kids climb, jump, and bounce. Joints loosen over time.
💡 Pro tip: If the bed creaks when your child moves, it needs checking. Creaking means movement, and movement means loosening joints.

Good to Know
🛏️ Height matters - guard rails must extend at least 16cm above the mattress surface. Many mattresses are thicker than expected, reducing guard rail effectiveness.
What gets checked:
- Frame joints
- Ladder fixings
- Guard rail security
- Slat support
- Overall stability
Common issues found:
- Loose cam locks
- Missing bolts
- Guard rails too low
- Ladder brackets loose
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does a high sleeper need checking?
Kids constantly climb, jump, and bounce on beds. Over time, joints loosen, bolts work free, and what was sturdy becomes wobbly. A safety check catches problems before they become dangerous.
What do you actually check?
Every bolt, every joint, the ladder fixings, guard rail height and security, mattress support slats, and the overall structural integrity. We tighten everything that's loose.
How often should high sleepers be checked?
At least annually, or any time you notice wobbling, creaking, or movement. After house moves, check immediately - they get knocked during transit.
What if you find something seriously wrong?
We'll tell you immediately. Some issues are fixable on the spot, others might need replacement parts. We'll advise honestly rather than leave you with an unsafe bed.
