Mid Bunk Bed

Mid bunk beds come with an elevated sleeping area that has storage space underneath or a desk. They are preferred by children as young as pre-teens. They are also more adaptable than loft beds, as they can be transformed into two separate singles.

Some are designed with a ladder and small steps that lead up to the top bunk bed. They are also very durable.

Safety

Despite their popularity, bunk beds are often associated with some dangers, especially for children. Each year thousands of kids are admitted to hospitals for injuries related to bunk beds and loft beds the majority of which are minor. The most frequent 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 many ways to reduce the chance of this happening and ensure your children's safety during the night.

You must first select a bunk bed that is in compliance with all safety standards. This includes having guardrails that are at least 3.5 inches on both sides of the mattress. They are securely fixed to stop kids from falling off. The guardrails above should be at least five inches higher than the mattress to guard against falls. Similarly, the ladder should be secure and firmly connected to the bunk bed frame. Steps for the ladder must be made from durable materials with wide, sturdy treads that prevent slipping. From the beginning, you must teach your children how to use bunk beds safely. This includes not playing on or around the bunk beds, laying down only in them and making sure that your body and possessions are within the safety rails.

Other easy steps that can significantly reduce the risk of bed accidents include making sure that the ladder isn't being used as a climbing frame and no ropes or belts are connected to the beds. these could become strangulation hazards. To decrease the chance of hitting ceiling fans or light fixtures when climbing the ladder, you should put the ladder away from them. Additionally, you should regularly inspect the bunk bed for signs of wear and tear, particularly any squeaks that could indicate loose or compromised components that could affect stability or safety.

Beware of DIY bunk bed kits, since they might not meet the most recent safety standards. Always consult the manufacturer's guidelines when purchasing a new bunk bed, and ask about any additional safety features they may offer.
