Mid Sleeper Small Single
Standard bed frames do not offer the same storage options as mid-sleepers or cabin beds. Look for options like desks that are pull-out and can be pushed neatly into furniture when not in use and ample shelving to accommodate their ever-growing collection of toys and games.
You can also consider bunk beds for kids with shelves that come with handy hooks that are ideal for a drink of water or a book.
Sleeping Area
The platform that sleeps on for a mid-sleeper is elevated from the ground, and usually has sides to create an environment that is secure and safe that promotes good sleep posture and spinal alignment. This helps children sleep longer, better and more peacefully. It also contributes to their physical and mental health.
A small single bed that is mid-sleeper is also a good option for kids who are making the transition from crib to bed because it offers a comfortable and comfortable sleeping space while introducing elements of an adult bed that promote independence. The elevated platform and enclosed space also helps to promote relaxation and a peaceful bedtime routine, helping them relax for a peaceful night's sleep.
Mid sleeper cabin beds are designed to be multifunctional play, study and sleeping spaces for your children. The elevated sleeping surface allows you to put furniture such as the sofa or desk underneath. It's also durable and doesn't need to be concerned about it falling. This makes a sleeper that is mid-sleeper a clever option for children who are beginning to show an interest in homework and academic pursuits.
Mid-sleepers for children can have built-in storage which gives your child more space to spread out and relax. These beds often include an adjustable desk, a chest of drawers for storage or an extensive shelving system to hold books and toys. Certain models, such as the Julian Bowen Skye Playhouse mid sleeper - are even designed to resemble a home or knight's fort that kids can customised with curtains, windows and glimmering lights for an extra playful design.
Most mid-sleepers for children will come with a ladder or stairway that helps them reach the platform that sleeps above. They're designed with wide treads and guardrails to allow young children to climb. It's always recommended to be a vigilant observer of your child while they use the ladder or stairs to ensure they are following safety guidelines and aren't trying to climb too high too fast! You can also purchase single-mid sleepers that don't need a ladder or steps at all. This creates a sleeker, more compact look.
Mattress
A single with a mid-sleep position is a good choice. Their bold designs and fun features draw children's attention and help them sleep more easily. These beds can also be an ideal option if you're struggling to fit into drawer or wardrobe storage spaces, as most come with built-in under bed storage solutions. If it's open cabinets ready to be filled with bags or neat and tidy drawers that have smooth, no-wobble operation, the extra space under the mattress is ideal for storage that is movable and low-level that will grow with your child's.
The type of mattress you select is largely dependent on your sleeper's preferred sleeping position that is softer, more suitable for front and side sleepers than a firmer one. There are also mattresses with additional advantages such as anti-dustmite treatment and cooling features to ensure a healthy and restful sleep. Some of these beds can include pull-out desks, which make a great study space. They can be a lifesaver when you are trying to tidy up the floor of your child's bedroom and still allow them to complete their homework.
The majority of mattresses we offer for cabin beds that are mid-sleeper size are vacuum-packed to make the delivery easier. This reduces their size by a small amount and makes it easier to move them around your home once you arrive. This is an excellent option if you're worried about lifting and moving an enormous bed, particularly for those with back or joint issues.
By converting them with optional kits, a few of our mid-sleeper beds can be transformed into a daybed or bunk beds. This allows them to grow with your child. This is perfect for families who require a shared bedroom for a long period of time. For instance the Kidsaw Urban Midsleeper 1 is an iconic white and birch bed that converts into a loft-style bunk or a traditional single bed with the ladder. Additionally the Julian Bown Skye Playhouse Midsleeper is a design dream that is designed to resemble an old castle or a house, and can be given an individual touch by adding curtains, twinkly lights or removable stickers.
Under-bed Storage
One of the main benefits of mid sleeper cabin beds is that they offer plenty of clever storage options. Contrary to high-sleeper and bunk beds that are elevated to a high level they are typically at a distance of about a metre from the floor, leaving plenty of space beneath to add furniture and other useful features. Drawers are the best solution for under bed storage. They can be put at either end of the bed or along the length. Some even have room to make a table for the bed. To create a clean, seamless finish, look for drawers that are designed to fit seamlessly into the divan base.
Woven single mid sleeper with desk and drawers constructed from natural materials are another under-bed storage option worth looking into. Woven fibers allow air to circulate and prevent dampness or musty odours, keeping stored items fresh and safe. For items that are stored for longer periods and require a vacuum-packed storage bag is an ideal choice since it eliminates all the air which allows you to squeeze more into your space.
You can also pick a smaller cabin bed that has drawers and cabinets built in. These beds will not only make the most of the space under your bed, but will also keep everything organized and tidy. Drawer systems that feature smooth, no-wobble runners will aid in avoiding getting stuck. If you select a wooden model, choose an aesthetically pleasing finish that blends with the rest of your interior decor.
It's also worth looking out for mid sleeper cabin beds with pull-out desks if study is a priority. They'll not only provide your children a comfy place to do homework or have a chat with their family, but they'll save you some much needed space in their bedroom too. Look for options that include chairs, to make the most of this practical feature.
Design
A single mid-sleeper is perfect for kids who are prone to climbing, exploring and discover. They are typically constructed of solid hardwoods, and they come with ladders that meet the strict safety standards. Be sure to look for designs that include guard rails on the sides of the bed or use bunk systems to avoid the risk of entrapment. Some beds also have an extra net to protect the upper mattress for added peace of mind.
The majority of children's cabin beds are designed for six year olds or above and feature bold colourways that appeal to their developing imaginations. Alternatively, look for an option that has shelving and a pull out desk to give you more space to play or study.
Many of the designs we offer are available with a selection of accessories like tents, tunnels and pocket organisers that help to keep their bedroom tidy and organized. For example the Pino wooden mid-sleeper with curtain is available in three frame colours and 9 different under bed curtains that range from simple neutrals to themes like unicorns and princesses.
Similarly, some of our single cabin or loft beds can be transformed into a day bed or bunk bed with the help of an optional conversion kit (sold separately). This allows your child to adapt the space as their interests change. If you're considering a convertible single cabin bed, opt for a sturdy structure that can support an adult weight limit of 80kg's.
Consider a neutral style to accommodate multiple tastes when introducing a mid-sleeper small single into a shared bedroom. Paint the walls with fresh grey or duck egg blue to create a backdrop that can be easily transformed with furniture and bedding in purple, pink or red, or any other shade your child likes.
Consider choosing a bed that has an integrated wardrobe if adding one to your child's bedroom. This will reduce the floor space and make it easier for your child's clothes to be organized. Our Julian Bowen Stella and Cookie mid-sleeper models come with side drawers that have plenty of storage space for books, toys as well as other items.
