I moved the bed back around too, I didn't like laying in the loft sideways at all, I neer fell off but D did take his first tumble a couple nights ago. I think he's part cat because he totally landed on his feet and had a 'WTH did you do that for' look on his face. Again, I WILL have a rail, that is an early summer project. This works out MUCH better though, glad to have the head of the bed back up by the window!
