Mid Bunk Bed

Mid bunk beds have a higher sleeping area and space beneath for storage or a desk. They are popular for children up to preteens. They're also more flexible than high loft beds since they can be converted into two separate beds.

Some are designed to look more mature, with a shorter ladder and a few steps leading to the top bed. They're also incredibly sturdy.

Safety

Despite their popularity bunk beds are usually associated with some danger, especially for children. Each year thousands of kids are admitted to hospitals for injuries that result from bunk and loft bed usage - most of which are minor. The most common accidents that happen in bunk beds occur when children play on or around their beds, and a significant proportion of them involve falling off the top bunk. There are numerous ways to minimize this risk, and ensure your children's safety in the evening.

You must first select a bunkbed that meets safety standards. Guardrails should extend at least 3.5" on both sides of the bed and should be installed to stop children from falling. The guardrails on the upper side should be at least five inches higher than the mattress to protect against falls. In addition, the ladder should be secure and firmly attached to the frame of the bunk bed. The ladder steps should also be made from durable materials with wide, secure treads that will prevent sliding. You should also educate kids on proper use of bunk beds beginning from the very first day. This includes not playing in or around the bunk beds, sleeping only in them, and making sure that your body and possessions are within the fences.

Other steps that can drastically reduce the chance of bunk bed accidents include ensuring the ladder isn't used as a climbing structure and no ropes or belts are attached to the beds; these could become strangulation hazards. Also, make sure the ladder is away from light fixtures or ceiling fans to reduce the chance of bumping into them when climbing up and down. Also, you should periodically check the bunk bed for signs of wear and tear, particularly any squeaks that may indicate a problem with the bed or components that may compromise stability or safety.

Be wary of DIY bunk bed kits, as they may not meet the most recent safety standards. Always read the guidelines of the manufacturer when purchasing a new bunk bed and ask about any additional safety features they may offer.

Space
