They're packed with storage underneath that can be used as a desk or a play area. They also have plenty of headroom to allow children to climb up and down with ease.

Safety
A mid sleeper or cabin bed is a great solution for reducing space, but it's essential to ensure safety precautions. It's important to make sure that the ladders you are using are safe and sturdy, instruct children on how to climb them safely, and stress that the top bunk should not be used as a play area. You might also want to put a light clip on the ladder to make it more visible at night.
Some beds come with a guard rail integrated into the frame, which could provide an extra grey mid sleeper cabin bed layer of protection for children. This is especially useful in smaller bedrooms where bunk beds are difficult to maneuver.
It's also important to not put the bed too close to blinds (especially cords), windows, heaters or ceiling fans. If the bed is placed too close to the wall, it could result in entrapment or serious injury. To reduce the risk, a mid-sleeper bed should 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 may strangle them. This can happen very quickly and especially during the time when children are asleep.
Choose a mid-sleeper cabin bed with rails that are full length on each side to provide an extra protection for your children. Don't solely rely on the wall for an additional safety barrier. Children can get trapped between the mattress and wall and die.
Finally, make sure you follow the assembly directions carefully and examine the connections and screws frequently to ensure that the bed is rock solid and will not move. If you're not sure, ask an expert for assistance. A well-built bunk bed should last for a long time, but it's important to stay on the safe side and not to compromise when it comes to safety.
Storage
The appeal of a mid-sleeper bunk bed is that the space underneath can be used for play and studying. A majority of mid-sleeper beds for kids have a desk that can be removed. This allows your child to have their own space to work in and complete their homework projects. It promotes a healthy balance between play and work.
A lot of our mid-sleeper cabin beds come with built in storage drawers which will help keep your child's space tidy and neater. If you want your child to have more storage options, then you can choose one with additional shelving or a wardrobe.
