Five Mid Sleeper Bed Lessons From Professionals

Mid Sleeper Bunk Bed

A mid-sleeper is a excellent option for people with lower ceilings and smaller bedrooms. They can provide younger children with a fun and functional alternative to a conventional single bed, whilst older children can make use of the space underneath for study and storage.

Mid and high sleepers are suitable for children up to six. However, we suggest that they have established their sleeping habits first.

Size

They have plenty of storage space underneath which can be used as a desk or play space. They have enough headroom to allow children to climb up and down effortlessly. Many of our models are fitted with a trundle bed or a chair bed, which allows you to convert your child's loft into an additional sleeping area when visiting friends.

You can also find a few that have desks which are a great option for those who wish to establish their own study habits and autonomy by working independently in their own dedicated workspace.

Style

Safety

A mid sleeper or cabin bed can be a fantastic solution for reducing space however it's important to ensure safety precautions. It is essential to ensure that the ladders you are using are sturdy and safe. teach children how to climb them safely and stress that the top bunk shouldn't be used for play. Install a light clip on the ladder to ensure that it's more visible at night.

Some beds come with a guard rail integrated into the frame, which can provide an extra layer of safety for children. This is especially beneficial in smaller bedrooms where bunk beds can be difficult to maneuver.

It is essential to ensure that the bed is not too near blinds (especially cords) or heaters, as well as ceiling fans. The bed being too close to the wall may result in serious injury and even entrapment. To minimize the risk, a mid-sleeper or a cabin bed must be at least 3.5 inches from the wall.

Another crucial safety measure is to avoid hanging anything from the guard rails on the top bunk. Belts, scarves and similar items could cause strangulation if a child is caught in them. This can happen quickly and especially during the time when children are sleeping.

If you are choosing a mid-sleeper or a cabin bed, opt for one with full-length guard rails on all sides to offer an additional security measure for your children. Don't solely rely on the wall for an additional safety barrier. Children can get trapped between the mattress and the wall and be killed.

Last but not least, make sure you follow the steps for assembly and periodically check all connectors and screws to ensure that the bed is solid and won't move. Consult a professional in case you're not sure. A well-built bunk bed should last for a long time but it's important to stay on the safe side and never to make a mistake when it comes to safety.
