Mid Bunk Bed
Mid bunk beds are a favorite for children from pre-teens to teens. They feature an elevated sleeping space as well as an under-bed storage space for or desks. They're also more adaptable than high loft beds as they can convert into two separate single beds.
Some are designed to appear more mature with a small ladder and petite steps leading to the bed at the top. They are also very durable.
Safety
Bunk beds can be a risk especially for children. Every year, thousands of children are treated in hospitals for injuries caused by bunk beds and loft beds. Most of these injuries are not serious. The majority of bunk bed accidents happen when children play on or around the beds. A large portion of these involve falling from the top bunk. There are a variety of ways to limit the risk and ensure your children are safe in the evening.
First, you must select a bunk bed that is in compliance with all safety requirements. This includes having guardrails that extend to at least 3.5 inches on both sides of the mattress and are properly fixed to prevent kids from falling off. The guardrails above should be at least five inches above the mattress to guard against falls. The ladder should be firmly and securely attached to the frame of the bunk. Steps for the ladder must be made of sturdy materials with wide, secure treads that prevent slipping. From the beginning, you must teach your children how to use bunk beds correctly. This includes not playing vigorously on or around the beds, only sleeping in them and keeping their bodies and belongings within the railings at all times.
Other measures that are easy to take can lessen the chance of having bunk bed accidents. These include making sure the ladder is not being used as a climbing platform and that no belts or ropes have been attached to the beds. These could pose the risk of strangulation. To reduce the risk of hitting ceiling fans or light fixtures when climbing the ladder, put the ladder away from them. In addition, you should regularly check the bunk bed for signs of wear and tear, especially any squeaks that may indicate loose or compromised components that could compromise the stability or safety of the bed.
Be wary of DIY bunk bed kits since they might not meet the most current safety standards. When buying bunk beds, make sure to read the instructions provided by the manufacturer and ask about any safety features that may be available.
Space
A mid-bunk bed is lower than a loft or a high sleeper, which means the space beneath can be used as storage space or even another bed. This can be ideal for smaller rooms or for children who need extra sleeping or study space.
Often, there will be room for a desk or bookcase built into the bed's side, perfect for homework and storage. Certain models feature an open-air closet that is perfect for clothes for toddlers and other models have cubbies for toys, books and other bits and pieces.
The most comfortable mid bunk beds will also feature an escalator that leads to the loft for sleeping and eliminates the need for ladders and making it easy for children to climb into and out of the bed. Some mid-sized bunk beds feature windows that peek out, adding a playful element to the room.
Some models also have the option of a pull-out sofa or futon, which creates a comfortable space for watching movies with the family and spending time with friends.
