Storage A great feature of a mid sleeper cabin bed is the storage options that are available. It is often a dream for children they provide plenty of space under to store books, toys and other belongings, meaning the bedroom could become more of a multi-purpose play, study and sleep zone. Look for shelves that have hooks that can replace traditional bedside table, or drawers with smooth, non-wobble runner. Safety Despite the fun factor these beds provide however, they must be safe for children as well as adults to use. The strictest standards are met and integrating safety features helps to minimize risks like slips and falls, entrapment and unsafe ladder designs. The ladders used to build cabin beds have curving edges and rounded corners to reduce the risk of injuries caused by sharp corners. The rounded edges decrease the risk of splinters which can be dangerous for children. The ladder and steps are constructed to be sturdy, with solid frames that can support weight and stop movement. Bed frames and ladders should also be secured to the wall with secured attachment points to prevent falling. It is also a good idea to place a lamp on the top bunk, to aid with visibility when climbing, particularly for younger children who may be unfamiliar with their surroundings. This will let you supervise your child and provide assistance when needed, and help to avoid any injuries. A lot of cabin beds have additional storage options, such as cupboards, wardrobes and trundle tray. These are great for kids to store their belongings. However, it is important to set boundaries on what they are allowed to do inside and around the bed so that they don't end up putting things on or off the top bunk with no supervision. It's an excellent idea to encourage your children to play in a safe manner around the bed, so that they don't fall over the side or fall out of the window. Hanging objects from the top bunk is also a strangulation risk. This should be avoided and substituted with other activities or toys. It is also crucial to ensure that bunk bed or loft straps or L-brackets are securely attached to the wall or floor. This will stop any tipping or movement, and can be easily inspected by parents on a monthly basis.
