Bunk bed rails for young kids

Wondering what some have come up with for a solution for a safety rail for the bunk beds for young kids. My kids are ok for bunk beds but all the ones you get for the stick house have rails. None of the TT bunks have rails. I would like to find a nice solution. I have considered building my own but I was hoping someone may have already come up with a good solution.

    I just went with the walmart solution in the baby section. It goes under the mattress for the support.

  • I bought a piece of 1 x 6 maple, trimmed it down, rounded the corners and secured it to the existing short bedrail with wood screws. It provides an additional 3" of freeboard. I also stained it to match the other wood. It is durable and looks factory.
  • We used children's bed rails, the kind that have the legs that go under the mattress. They can be flipped down when needed.
