Why do the bed springs have different support brackets.

I'd guess the force exerted by the person on top and the support needed by the braces is in the physics universe and thus a part of science chosen as the zone.
These are the springs that eliminate the need for a box spring on bunk bed. One has one curved support welded to the frame. The other has two. The previous owner said they thought the spring frame with two support bars would be the top bunk. Why would the top bunk need two braces instead of one? If the top requires two then "they" are assuming the heaviest person will always occupy the top bunk. Common sense my tell the bed owner to always let the smallest child on top.

Sorry I forgot to attach the photo. The mattress just lays on top of these springs. No lip around the edge to hold them in place. I'm now having to figure out how to make a railing for the top bunk due to small children. The springs in the photo are roughly 7 feet long and one has a support in the middle and the other one has two.
