For me, the simple solution was the best. I picked up a couple of smooth, very thin (maybe 1/4") pieces of luan at Home Depot, and I'll be darned if they didn't work perfectly. I simply slide them in place, and they almost make a friction seal when our children are up there sleeping. Sounds crazy easy, I know; but there is no beating our system. When they're awake, the boards fit right under the mattress. When it's time for bed, I slide the boards between the mattress and the frame and the kids are secure. I've gone up on the top bunk and tried to roll through them, and I can't.
This will obviously only work if you've got enough frame depth to sink them in. In our case, the boards slide down a good 4" and there's virtually no play in them at all.
