Mid Bunk Bed

Mid bunk beds come with a higher sleeping area and space beneath for storage or a desk. They are popular for children up to pre-teens. They also have more versatility than loft beds as they can be made into two separate singles.

Some are designed with a ladder and small steps leading to the top bunk bed. They're also extremely durable.

Safety

Despite their popularity bunk beds are typically associated with some dangers, especially for children. Every year, thousands of children are admitted to hospitals for injuries resulting from bunk beds and loft beds. The majority of these injuries are minor. Most bunk bed accidents occur when children are playing on or around the beds. A large portion of these involve falling from the top bunk. There are many ways to reduce the risk, and keep your children safe in the evening.

First, you should select a bunk bed that complies with all safety requirements. This includes having guardrails that extend at minimum 3.5 inches on both sides of the mattress and are securely fixed to stop children from falling off. The guardrails on the upper side must be at a minimum of five inches higher than the mattress to protect against falls. The ladder should be securely and securely fixed to the bunk frame. Ladder steps should also be constructed of sturdy materials and have wide, secure treads to prevent slips. Also, you should educate your children on proper use of bunk beds starting from the first day. This includes not playing in or around the bunk beds, laying down only in them, and keeping your belongings and body within the fences.

Other simple measures that can significantly reduce the risk of bunk bed accidents is to ensure that the ladder isn't used as a climbing frame and there are no belts or ropes connected to the beds. these could become strangulation hazards. To minimize the chance of hitting ceiling fans or light fixtures when climbing the ladder, you should keep the ladder from them. Also, you should regularly check the bunk bed for signs of wear, especially any squeaks. These could indicate damaged or loose parts that could compromise security or stability.

Beware of DIY or do-it-yourself bunk bed kits that might not be in compliance with the most recent safety standards. When buying a bunk bed, always review the instructions of the manufacturer and ask about any safety features that may be available.

Space

Often, there will be room for a desk or bookcase built into the side of the bed, perfect for homework and storage. Certain models feature a low-height closet that's perfect for children's clothing, while others feature cubbies to store toys, books, and other pieces and bits.
