Mid Bunk Bed

Mid bunk beds have a higher sleeping area and storage space underneath or a desk and are preferred by children as young as pre-teens. They're also more adaptable than high loft beds as they can be converted into two separate beds.

Some are constructed with a ladder and small steps that lead to the top bunk bed. They're also extremely sturdy.

Safety

Despite their popularity, bunk beds are usually associated with some danger, especially for children. Every year thousands of children are hospitalized for injuries caused by the use of loft beds and bunk beds. Most of these injuries are not serious. The most common incidents involving bunk beds occur when children play on or around their beds, and a high percentage of them involve falling off the top bunk. There are several ways you can help minimize this risk and keep your kids safe at night.

You must first select a bunk bed that is in compliance with all safety standards. Guardrails should extend at least 3.5" on both sides of the bed and be installed to stop children from falling. The upper guardrails must be at a minimum of five inches above the mattress to protect against falls. The ladder should also be firmly and securely attached to the bunk frame. Ladder steps should also be constructed of sturdy materials and have wide, well-secured treads to avoid falling. From the very beginning, you must teach your children to use bunk beds correctly. 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 measures that are easy to take can lessen the risk of bunk bed accidents. These include making sure the ladder is not used as a climbing frame and that no ropes or belts are attached to the beds. These could pose a strangulation hazard. You should also make sure the ladder is away from ceiling or light fixtures to avoid fans to minimize the risk of crashing into them when climbing up and down. Also, you should periodically inspect the bunk bed to check for indications of wear, specifically any squeaks. These could indicate faulty or damaged parts that could affect safety or stability.

Beware of DIY or do-it-yourself bunk beds kits that aren't in line with the most recent safety standards. When purchasing a bunk bed, always review the instructions of the manufacturer and inquire about any safety features that may be available.
