Why it matters for your bed or cot
Gaps are the hazard that bunk-bed law exists for. The Bunk Beds (Entrapment Hazards) (Safety) Regulations 1987 apply to any bed with a sleeping surface 800 mm or more above the floor and require it to be built so that no part of a child under six can become wedged or trapped at or above that surface, with permissible gap sizes set against a prescribed measuring method. The mattress failure is a separate regime: the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 define furniture to include mattresses of any size, and their fillings have to pass the ignitability tests in those Regulations.
