Style
A mid sleeper is a cabin bed that is higher height than the high or bunk bed but lower than a loft bed. This is ideal for kids who require a little more headroom but still like the practical features of a high-sleeper like a shelf or desk.
They are available in a wide range of styles so you can be sure that whatever your child's hobbies are, there will be the right design for them. Some are basic beds with different colors or designs on the frame, while others have fun features such as tents, desks and storage for books. There's even a design where the ladder can be positioned on either side of the bed to ensure it's easy to locate your way up!
Some high and mid-sleeper beds also have extra furniture such as an office or a pull-out chair bed for guests to stay on. This makes the space under their bed a feature of their bedroom, and can encourage kids to keep it neat and tidy.
If your child loves to play with toys, they will be thrilled to have a den under their bed. You can get designs that let you hang curtains or fairylights on their den in order to create a truly magical space. There are also some that have a more neutral design that will allow your child to make use of the space for studying or relaxing with a few cushions and an here e-lamp.
Both high and mid sleeper beds can often be transformed into smaller formats, such as single beds when your child is ready to leave. This is a good investment in your finances since it can save you money in the long run and means that your child can continue to sleep in their bed throughout their childhood, and possibly into their teenage years. This is a great choice for families with more than one child, because you'll save money on purchasing two beds.
Stores
There's no getting away from the fact that children have plenty of stuff! It's essential that they have a place to store all their stuff, especially in a space that is small like one for children. That's why we offer a wide range of beds that come with built-in storage options that will help them get organised and tidy. From single mid sleepers with storage drawers, to full-size high sleepers with trundle drawers that allow for extra sleeping space for friends staying over, there's sure to be a solution that will meet your needs.
A mid-sleeper, also referred to as the cabin bed or low bunk bed, is a great option to make the most of the space in your child's room. They're a happy medium between the traditional single bed and loft beds or high sleepers and offer plenty of entertainment, practicality and an ideal option for small bedrooms or children who may be worried about sleeping too high. Because of their low height, mid-sleeper beds are often raised off the ground to provide storage space or even a play area underneath.
The storage options available for these kinds of beds are varied, but could include shelving units, cubes including bookcases, wardrobes trundle drawers and much more! You may even find a model with a pull-out desk which can be used to complete homework or study and then put back into the bed when not in use.
A lot of our beds for mid-sleepers are made to be suitable for girls or boys bedrooms. Some come with tents and fairy lights, rock climbing walls or slides to give an element of adventure. Some have a cozy area with curtains and a chair which means your children can snuggle in their reading corner with the book and coffee and a good read.
Some models, like our Marlowe mid-sleeper bed, do not have storage underneath and have an end table for books at the top of the mattress. This is ideal for creating an awesome space to sit and relax and read. Combine the two to create a cozy reading space.
Safety
A mid sleeper is an excellent alternative to a conventional single bed since it offers the space-saving advantages of a desk integrated into the design. This helps to free the floor space that can be used for practical purposes like a wardrobe, additional storage, or even a play area. The desk will be integrated into the frame of the bed which ensures it's sturdy and safe for your child to use. Most beds come with stairs or ladders for access and many come in a variety of styles so that your child can find their ideal. There are also designs with a desk that is themed pirate or that look like castles!
Mid sleepers are a great choice for younger children as they can provide a fun space to sleep and study as well as play. However, most guidelines from manufacturers suggest that your child should be 6 years or older before being able to sleep in a mid sleeper due to safety regulations.
The mid and high sleeping beds are very similar when it comes to safety. They each have a ladder which can be used for access, and safety panels that need to be installed. If you follow the steps for assembly and use your mid or high sleeper in a safe manner, there shouldn't be any safety concerns.
It is recommended to put carpet under your bed, similar to what you would do with a cabin mattress, to decrease the chance that your child could be seriously injured in the event of a fall. Also, make sure that your child is not using the mid or high sleeper as a climbing frame and that it's used to be used for sleeping during the night. As climbing up the ladder or playing on it can result in serious injuries, you should ensure that your child is only using their bed at night.
Both mid and high sleepers make a excellent alternative to a standard single bed. They can fit into smaller bedrooms and work with rooms with architectural quirks such as low ceilings. They're an amazing experience for children and provide an exciting method to ensure they have a restful night's sleep, but it's crucial to keep in mind that your child needs to be at least 6 years old old to be able to sleep in one.
