Safety
Mid sleepers or cabin beds can be an excellent space-saving option, but safety precautions are essential. It is essential to ensure that the ladders you choose to use are safe and sturdy, teach your children to safely climb them, and make it clear that the top bunk should not be used to play. Install a light clip on the ladder so that it is visible at night.
Some beds come with a guard rail integrated into the frame, which can provide an extra layer of protection for children. This is particularly beneficial for small bedrooms, where a bunk bed can be difficult to navigate without putting yourself at risk of falling over furniture or other items in the room.
It's also important to not position the bed too close to blinds (especially cords) windows, heaters, or ceiling fans. The bed being too close to the wall may result in serious injury and entrapment. A mid sleeper or cabin bed should be at minimum 3.5" from the wall to minimise this danger.
Do not hang anything from the railings that are on top of the bunk. If a child is trapped in belts, scarves or similar items, they can strangle them. This is particularly a problem when children are asleep and can occur in the blink of an eye, so it is best to keep these items away from reach.
Choose a mid-sleeper cabin bed with full-length rails on each side to create an additional barrier for your children. Don't rely on the wall to serve as a railing for your child - a child could wedge themselves between the mattress and the wall, which could be dangerous.
Finally, make sure you follow the assembly instructions thoroughly and examine all connects and screws regularly to ensure that the bed is rock solid and doesn't move. If you're unsure, ask an expert for assistance. A well-constructed bunk bed will last a long time, but it's important to stay on the safe side and never to compromise when it comes to safety.
