Mid Bunk Bed

Mid bunk beds feature a higher sleeping area and space underneath for storage or a desk and are preferred by children as young as pre-teens. They are also more versatile than loft beds, since they can be transformed into two separate singles.

Some are designed to look more grown-up too with a short ladder and small steps leading to the top bed. They're also incredibly sturdy.

Safety

Bunk beds are dangerous, especially for children. Every year, thousands of children are taken to hospital for injuries that result from bunk beds and loft beds - most of which are minor. Most accidents involving bunk beds occur when children play on or around the beds. A large portion of these involve falling from the top bunk. There are several ways you can help minimize the risk and keep your kids safe during the night.

First of all, you should select a bunk bed that meets all safety requirements. This includes having guardrails that extend at least 3.5 inches on both sides of the mattress. They are properly secured to prevent children from falling off. The upper guardrails should be at least five inches above the mattress to protect against falls. The ladder should also be securely and securely attached to the frame of the bunk. Steps for the ladder must be made of sturdy materials with wide, secure treads that will prevent sliding. Also, you should educate your children about proper use of bunk beds, ideally from day one. This includes not playing in or around the beds, but sleeping in them and keeping their bodies and possessions inside the railings at all times.

Other steps that can dramatically reduce the chance of bunk bed accidents include making sure that the ladder isn't used as a climbing structure and there are no belts or ropes connected to the beds; these could become strangulation hazards. To minimize the chance of hitting ceiling lights or fans when climbing the ladder, put the ladder away from them. Additionally, you should regularly examine the bunk bed for signs of wear and tear, particularly any squeaks that could signal a malfunction or damaged component that could compromise the stability or safety of the bed.

Beware of DIY bunk bed kits as they may not meet the most current safety standards. Always check the guidelines of the manufacturer when buying a brand new bunk bed, and inquire about any additional safety features they may provide.

Space

A mid-bunk bed is lower in height than the loft bed or high sleeper. This means that the space underneath can be used to store items or even as a bed. This is a great choice for small spaces or children who need more space for studying or sleeping.

In most cases, there's the space for a bookcase or desk built into the bed's side ideal for homework and storage. Some models come with an incredibly low-height wardrobe, which is ideal for younger kids' clothes, while others have cubbies to store books, toys and other bits and pieces.
