Professional cabin bed safety rail fitting - prevent falls from mid-sleeper and cabin beds. Properly fitted rails at the right height for your mattress.
Cabin Beds Are High Enough To Hurt
Mid-sleepers and cabin beds look lower than bunk beds, but they're still high enough for a fall to cause injury. Safety rails prevent sleeping children rolling out.
💡 Pro tip: Even if your child "never falls out of bed" on a normal bed, the combination of height and less-restrained sleeping on a new cabin bed changes things. Fit rails until you're confident.

🔧 DIY Tips
Fitting yourself? Here's what works:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Safety rail (universal or bed-specific)
- Allen keys or spanners
- Tape measure
- Spirit level (optional)
📐 Fitting steps
- Check rail is compatible with bed
- Position to leave access gap
- Attach securely to frame
- Check height above mattress (16cm+ minimum)
- Test security with push
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Rail too low (mattress compresses under child)
- Not tight enough (works loose)
- Blocking access gap
- Wrong type for bed
💡 Pro trick: Measure rail height with someone lying on the mattress - it compresses and the effective rail height is lower than you'd think.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do all cabin beds need safety rails?
Most do for children under 6, and many older children benefit from them too - especially restless sleepers. If it's high enough that a fall could hurt, a rail makes sense.
My cabin bed didn't come with rails - can you add them?
Usually yes - universal safety rails attach to most bed frames. We'll check compatibility and fit the right type for your bed.
How high should the rail be?
At least 16cm above the mattress surface when the child is lying on it. This stops them rolling over the rail while sleeping.
Won't my child feel trapped?
Most rails have an opening for getting in and out. Children adapt quickly and sleep more safely. The alternative is falls.
