Mid sleepers or cabin beds can be an ideal space-saving solution however safety precautions are essential.

It is essential to ensure that the bed is not too near blinds (especially cords), heaters, or ceiling fans. If the bed is too close, it could cause entrapment and severe injuries. A mid sleeper or cabin bed should be at least 3.5" from the wall to minimise the risk.
Another vital safety point is to not hang anything from the guard rails on the top bunk. If a child gets caught in belts, scarves or similar items, they can strangle them. This is particularly a problem when children are asleep and can happen in the blink of an eye, so it's best to keep these items away from reach.
