Mid Bunk grey midi bed

Mid bunk beds are popular with kids from preteens to teens. They feature a raised sleeping space and an under-bed storage space for or desks. They're also more adaptable than high loft beds since they can be transformed into two separate beds.

Some are designed to look more grown-up too with a short ladder and petite steps leading to the bed at the top. They are also very durable.

Safety

Bunk beds are dangerous, especially for children. Every year, thousands of children are taken to hospital for injuries related to bunk and loft bed usage - most of which are minor. Most bunk bed accidents occur when children play on or around the beds. A large percentage of these involve falling from the top bunk. There are several ways you can help minimize this risk and keep your kids safe at night.

First of all, you should select a bunk bed that is in compliance with all safety regulations. Guardrails should extend at a minimum of 3.5" on both sides of the bed and should be installed to stop children from falling. The guardrails on the upper side must be at least five inches above the mattress to prevent 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. It is also important to educate children on proper use of bunk beds starting from the first day. This includes not playing on or around the bunk beds, and sleeping only in them and keeping your belongings and body 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 belts or ropes are attached to the beds. These could pose a strangulation hazard. You should also make sure the ladder is kept away from ceiling or light fixtures to avoid fans to limit the risk of hitting them while climbing up and down. In addition, you should regularly examine the bunk bed for signs of wear and tear, particularly any squeaks which could indicate loose or compromised components that could affect stability or safety.

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

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 a bed. This can be a great option for smaller rooms or for children who require extra sleeping or study space.

Most of the time, there is room for a bookcase or desk built into the bed's side which is ideal for homework or storage. Some models come with an incredibly low-height wardrobe, which is ideal for younger kids' clothes and other models have cubbies for toys, books and other bits and pieces.

The most comfortable mid bunk beds will also have stairs that lead up to the sleeping loft and eliminates the necessity for ladders and making it easier for kids to climb into and out of bed. Some beds in the middle have an open window that can be seen from afar, which adds a playful element to the space.

Some models also come with the option of a futon or sofa that pulls out that creates a comfortable lounge space that's ideal for family movie nights as well as hanging out with friends. Some models come with an adjustable workstation that is ideal for children who struggle to concentrate on their homework or schoolwork.
