Otherwise it would be too bouncy! I'll leave the rest to your imagination!

As most people have answered, it has to do with the safety rail. The higher the rail will provide a higher profile mattress. Although, it could be the height of the bunk, is it extremely high? Most bunk beds allow for a 6" mattress, was this recommended by the bunk bed manufacture? or a personal recommendation? Usually the only mattresses with 4” profile are the “foam only” mattresses. Does it require a bunky board (2” board that takes the place of a box spring) or Slats? I would check to see how high the safety rail extends based on the lowest point where the mattress will sit. Estimate how high the rail will extend over the mattress (- 4")and decide accordingly.
Unfortunately this will make it very difficulty finding a mattress if 4” is a must. Another choice worth mentioning would be either a 4” topper or 4” overlay, but these can be pricey, it depends on your budget and quality requisite. Good Luck and good night!

the reason why is for safety my friend,the matteress has to be 4"deep so that it remains well below the edge of the bed frame, if it was say six inches the person in the bed(normally a child) would slide off the mattress during the night and injure themselves, a 4" inch matteress is not the most comfotable in the world and this is the reason that most people put the smallest child in the top bunk and the largest in the bottom with a thicker mattress..
hope this helps

so that the mattress height is below the height of the bed rail. Wouldnt like for you to roll out now.

So that it doesn't come above the guard rail. If it does and you roll over you could fall out of the bunk. ouch!

Probably so that there is room between the person in the bed and the ceiling...don't want to headbutt it every time you wake up!

I can only guess.
Should it collapse onto the lower occupant, he or she can still get air through 4'' of material.
Sounds a good enough reason for me?

Because of the ceiling in the room.
