Safety
A mid sleeper or cabin bed can be a wonderful space-saving option however, it is essential to take precautions for safety. It's crucial to ensure that the ladders you are using are sturdy and safe, teach your children to climb them safely, and emphasize the fact that the top bunk shouldn't be used as a play area. You may also want to install a clip light on the ladder to make it more visible in the dark.
Some beds have guardrails built into the frame. This is an additional layer of safety for children. This is especially useful in small bedrooms where bunk beds are difficult to navigate.
It is also important to not place the bed too close to blinds (especially cords), windows, heaters or ceiling fans. The bed's proximity to the wall may result in serious injury and even entrapment. A mid-sleeper or cabin bed should be at least 3.5" away from the wall to reduce the risk.
Another crucial safety measure is to not hang anything from the railings of the guard on the top bunk. Belts, scarves and similar items could strangle a child if they are caught. This can happen very quickly and especially during the time when children are sleeping.
When choosing a mid sleeper or cabin bed, look for one that has full-length guard rails on all sides to offer an additional barrier for your children. Don't rely solely on the wall for an obstacle to safety. A child could get trapped between the mattress and the wall, which can be fatal.
Lastly, be sure to follow the assembly instructions thoroughly and check all connects and screws regularly to ensure that the bed is rock solid and will not move. If you are unsure you're not sure, consult an expert for assistance. A well-constructed bunk bed will 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.
