Mid Bunk Bed
Mid bunk beds feature an elevated sleeping area that has storage space underneath or a desk. They're popular with children from pre-teens. They're also more flexible than high loft beds since they can be converted into two separate single beds.
Some are designed to appear more grown-up too with a short ladder and a few steps leading to the bed at the top. They are also very durable.
Safety
Bunk beds are dangerous, especially for children. Every year, thousands of kids are admitted to hospitals for injuries resulting from bunk and loft bed usage and loft beds. Most of these injuries are minor. Most accidents involving bunk beds occur when children are playing on or around the beds. A significant portion of these involve falling from the top bunk. There are many ways you can help minimize the chance of this happening and keep your kids safe at night.
First of all, you should choose a bunk bed that complies with all safety regulations. This includes having guardrails that are at least 3.5 inches on both sides of the mattress. Additionally, they are securely fixed to stop kids from falling off. The guardrails on the upper side must be at a minimum of five inches above the mattress to guard against falls. Similarly, the ladder should be secured and securely connected to the bunk bed frame. The ladder steps should also be made of sturdy materials with wide, secure treads that will prevent sliding. From the very beginning, you should teach your children to use bunk beds safely. This includes not playing in or around the bunk beds, and sleeping only in them and keeping your body and belongings within the safety rails.
Other easy steps can help reduce the chance of bunk bed accidents. This includes ensuring that the ladder is not being used as a climbing platform and that no belts or ropes are attached to the beds. They could create an injury to strangulation. It is also important to ensure that the ladder is located away from light fixtures or ceiling fans to reduce the chance of hitting them while climbing up and down. You should also regularly check the bunk bed to check for signs of wear, especially any squeaks that could indicate loose or compromised components that could compromise safety or stability.
Finally, be wary of DIY or DIY bunk bed kits that might not be in compliance with the latest safety standards. Always consult the manufacturer's guidelines when purchasing a new bunk bed, and inquire about any additional safety features they may offer.
Space
A mid-bunk bed is lower than a loft or a high sleeper, meaning that the space underneath can be used to store things or even a bed. This is an excellent option for smaller rooms or children who need more space to sleep or study.
