It shouldn't be in direct contact with the wall since this could cause children to be stuck between the bunk's wall and the top of the mattress. Instead, you should leave a space of at least 3.5 inches between the bottom edge of the guard rail and the top of the mattress foundation.

When positioning the bunk bed ensure that it is away from things like curtains, blinds windows, ceiling fans and blinds that can obstruct the view of a child, or cause her to fall off the bunk's edge. The bunk should not be close to anything that can hang from the rails, such as cords or toys.
