A mid sleeper is a excellent option for people with smaller ceilings and lower bedrooms. They can be an excellent alternative for smaller children to an individual bed. Older children can use the space below for study or storage area.
High and mid sleepers can be used by children over the age of six. However, we recommend that they establish their sleeping habits first.
Size
Mid sleeper bunk beds are lower to the ground than high sleepers, so they're an excellent choice for younger children and those with smaller bedrooms. They offer plenty of storage space underneath which can be used as an area for play or a desk. They also provide plenty of headroom, which allows children to climb and descend easily.

Safety
Mid sleepers or cabin beds can be a great option for reducing space however safety precautions are essential. This means ensuring that the ladders are sturdy and safe to use, mid loft bed as well as teaching youngsters how to climb up and down them correctly, and stressing that the top bunk isn't to be used for play. You might also want to install a clip light on the ladder to make it more visible at night.
Some beds come with a guardrail built into the frame. This is an additional safety feature for children. This is especially useful for small bedrooms, where bunk beds can be tricky to navigate without risking falling over furniture or other items within the room.
It is important to not place the bed too close to blinds (especially cords) heaters, blinds, or ceiling fans. If the bed is placed too close, it can cause entrapment and severe injuries. To reduce the risk, a mid-sleeper or a cabin bed must be at minimum 3.5 inches from the wall.
Another vital safety point is to keep everything from the railings that guard the top bunk. Belts, scarves and similar items can strangle a child if they get caught in them. This is particularly a problem when kids are sleeping and can occur in the blink of an eye, which is why it's best to keep these items out of reach.
When choosing a mid sleeper or a cabin bed, opt for one with full-length guard rails on all sides to provide an additional security measure for your children. Also, don't rely on the wall to serve as a security rail - a child could wedge themselves between the mattress and the wall, which could be dangerous.
Last but not least, ensure that you follow the steps for assembly and check regularly the screws and connectors to ensure the bed is solid and will not wobble. If you're not sure then ask a professional to help. If you want to ensure that your bunk bed will last for a long time it is advisable to always be on the safest side.
