Mid Bunk Bed

Mid bunk beds are a favorite with kids from preteens to teens. They have a raised sleeping space and an area underneath to store things or desks. They're also more versatile than high loft beds as they can convert into two separate single midi bunk beds.

Some are built with a ladder as well as small steps that lead to the top bunk bed. They are also very sturdy.

Safety

Despite their popularity bunk beds are often associated with some risk, particularly for children. Every year, thousands of children are admitted to hospitals for injuries caused by bunk and loft bed use. Most of these injuries are minor. The most common bunk bed accidents happen when kids play on or around their beds, and a large proportion of these involve falling off the top bunk. There are several ways to reduce this risk and ensure your children's safety at night.

You must first select a bunk bed that is in compliance with all safety standards. This includes having guardrails that extend to at least 3.5 inches on both sides of the mattress. Additionally, they are properly secured to prevent kids from falling off. The upper guardrails should be at least five inches higher than the mattress to guard against falls. In addition, the ladder should be secure and firmly connected to the frame of the bunk bed. Ladder steps should also be made of durable materials and have wide, secure treads to prevent slips. From the beginning, you should teach your children to use bunk beds safely. This includes not playing on or around the bunk beds, laying down only in them and keeping your body and belongings within the guardrails.

Other steps that can drastically reduce the risk of bunk bed accidents is to ensure that the ladder isn't used as a climbing structure and there are no belts or ropes connected to the beds; they could pose strangulation risks. To minimize the chance of hitting ceiling lights or fans when climbing the ladder, keep the ladder from them. Additionally, you should regularly check the bunk bed for signs of wear and tear, in particular any squeaks which could indicate a problem with the bed or components that could affect the stability or safety of the bed.

Beware of DIY or DIY bunk midi bed with wardrobe kits that may not comply with the most recent safety standards. When purchasing a bunk bed, you must consult the manufacturer's instructions and inquire about any safety features that may be available.

Space

A mid bunk bed is shorter than a loft bed or a high sleeper. This means that the space below can be used to store items or even a bed. This is ideal for smaller rooms or for children who need extra sleeping or study space.

There is often room to build a desk, or bookcase, into the side of a bed. This is great for homework and storage. Some models come with an open-air closet that is perfect for younger children's clothes and other models have cubbies for books, toys, and other bits and pieces.

The best mid-bunk beds have a staircase that leads to the loft for sleeping. This eliminates the need for ladders, and makes it easier for kids to get in and out of the bed. They may also feature an open window that gives a fun element of surprise to the space and makes it feel like their own private space.

Some models will also have an ottoman or a sofa that can be pulled out which creates a cozy living space that is ideal for family movie nights or socializing with friends. Certain models have an adjustable workstation that is ideal for kids who struggle to concentrate on their schoolwork or homework.
