Mid Bunk Bed
Mid bunk beds are very popular with kids from preteens to teens. They have an elevated sleeping space as well as a space underneath for storage or desks. They are also more versatile than loft beds, since they can be converted into two separate singles.
Some are designed to look more mature with a small ladder and petite steps leading up to the top bed. They're also incredibly sturdy.
Safety
Bunk beds can be a risk especially for children. Every year, thousands of children are treated in hospitals for injuries resulting from bunk beds and loft beds. Most of these injuries are minor. The majority of bunk bed accidents happen when children are playing on or around the beds. A significant portion of these involve falling from the top bunk. There are numerous ways to limit the risk, and ensure your children's safety during the night.
You must first select a bunkbed that meets safety standards. Guardrails should be at least 3.5" on both sides of the bed and be properly installed to stop children from falling. The guardrails above must be at a minimum of five inches above the mattress to guard against falls. In addition, the ladder should be secure and firmly fixed to the frame of the bunk bed. The ladder steps should also be constructed of durable materials with wide, secure treads to prevent sliding. From the beginning, you must teach your children to use bunk beds safely. This includes not playing on or around the bunk beds, and sleeping only in them, and making sure that your body and possessions are within the guardrails.
Other simple measures can reduce the chance of having bunk bed accidents. These include making sure the ladder is not used as a climbing framework and that no ropes or belts are attached to the beds. They could create a strangulation hazard. You should also make sure the ladder is kept away from light fixtures and ceiling fans to reduce the chance of hitting them while climbing up and down. Also, you should regularly inspect the bunk bed for indications of wear, specifically any squeaks that could indicate loose or compromised parts that could compromise the safety or stability of the bed.
Be wary of DIY or do-it-yourself bunk bed kits that aren't in line with the most current safety standards. Always consult the manufacturer's guidelines when purchasing a new bunk bed, and inquire about any additional safety features they may provide.
Space
A mid bunk bed is lower than a loft or a high sleeper, meaning that the space underneath can be used as storage space or even another bed. This is an excellent option for smaller rooms or children who need more space for studying or sleeping.
Most of the time, there is the space for a desk or bookcase built into the side of the bed ideal for homework and storage. Some models come with a low-height closet that's perfect for children's clothing and other models have cubbies for books, toys as well as other pieces and bits.
The most comfortable mid-bunk beds will also have a staircase leading to the loft for sleeping. This eliminates the need for ladders, and makes it easier for children to get into and out of the bed.
