Mid Sleeper Bunk Bed
A mid-sleeper can be a great choice for those who have smaller or lower ceilings. They are an excellent alternative for smaller children who can't afford an individual bed. Children older than them can use the space below for study or storage area.
Mid and high sleepers are suitable for children who are older than six. However, we suggest that they have established their sleeping habits prior to that.

They are less expensive than bunk beds with high sleepers and are a great option for bedrooms with smaller rooms and kids who are young. They have ample storage space below that can be used for an area for play or a desk. They offer enough headroom for children to climb up and down effortlessly.

Safety
A mid sleeper or a cabin bed can be a fantastic solution for reducing space, but it's essential to take precautions for safety. It's important to make sure that the ladders you choose to use are safe and sturdy, teach your children to climb them safely, and stress that the top bunk shouldn't be used to play. You may also want to put a light clip on the ladder to make it more visible at night.
Some beds come with a railing built into the frame. This can provide an additional safety feature for children. This is especially beneficial for small bedrooms, where a bunk bed is difficult to maneuver without putting yourself at risk of falling over furniture or other items in the room.
It is also important to not position the bed too close to blinds (especially cords) windows, blinds, heaters or ceiling fans. The bed's proximity to the wall may result in serious injuries and entrapment. To reduce the risk, a mid-sleeper or cabin bed must be at least 3.5 inches away from the wall.
Do not hang anything from the railings that are on top of the bunk. If a child is caught in scarves, belts or similar items, they could strangle them. This is a particular issue when children are asleep and can happen in the blink of an eye, so it's recommended to keep these items out of reach.
If you are choosing a mid-sleeper or cabin bed, look for one with full-length security rails across the entire length to provide an additional barrier to your children. Don't rely solely on the wall for a safety barrier. Children can get trapped between the mattress and the wall, which can be fatal.
The last thing to do is ensure that you follow the steps for assembly and regularly check the screws and connectors to ensure the bed is stable and will not move. If you're unsure then ask a professional for help. If you want to make sure that your bunk bed will last for a long time it is advisable to be on the safe side.
Stores
The space underneath a bunk bed that is mid-sleeper can be used both for studying and play. In fact, a lot of children's mid sleeper beds come with an open desk as part of the design.
