It's a great option for bedrooms with small spaces, since it increases the floor space, without sacrificing the height of the ceiling.

Safety
A mid sleeper or cabin bed is a great space-saving option however, it is essential to take safety precautions. It's crucial to ensure that the ladders you are using are sturdy and safe. instruct children on how to safely climb them, and make it clear that the top bunk shouldn't be used as a play area. Install a light clip on the ladder to ensure that it's more visible at night.
Some beds come with guardrails built into the frame. This can be an additional layer of safety for children. This is especially useful in small bedrooms where bunk beds can be difficult to navigate.
It's important to avoid placing the bed too close to blinds (especially cords), heaters, 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 away from the wall.
Do not hang anything over the railings on the top bunk. If a child is trapped in belts, scarves or similar items, they could strangle them. This can happen quickly and especially during the time when children are asleep.
Choose a mid-sleeper cabin bed with full-length rails on both sides to provide an extra protection for your children. Don't rely on the wall to serve as a security rail - a child could be trapped between the mattress and the wall, which could be fatal.
The last thing to do is make sure you follow the directions for assembly and check regularly all connectors and screws to ensure the bed is solid and will not move. If you are unsure then ask a professional to help. A well-constructed bunk bed will last a long time, but it's best to be on the safe side and not to compromise in regards to safety.
