Mid Sleeper Beds For Kids
Whether your child is a little too big to fit in a bunk bed or simply looking to make the most of their bedroom space a mid-sleeper is a great solution. Built with desks and storage, These beds for children are a parents dream.
All ages can benefit from mattresses that are less than the frame, meaning that children can't get out of bed in the middle of sleeping.
Height
A mid-sleeper is a bed for children that is a little lower than the high-sleeper. The beds have a higher sleeping surface, with a space below that could be used as storage, a desk or a play area. These beds are great for rooms with limited space since they offer the same amount of sleeping space as bunk beds while taking less space. The beds are also great for children who want to share the bedroom with a partner or sibling as they can accommodate two mattresses.
The size of a mid sleeper will vary depending on the model, but generally they're between 110 and 140 cm high approximately the same height as the standard bed frame. The majority of our mid-sleepers will require one bed, however some may accept a small double or even a triple mattress. Make sure to read the specifications of the product prior to purchasing.
When it is about the dimensions of a cabin bed safety is a top priority, and our range of kids' mid sleepers are designed with safety in mind. The staircases of our models have been constructed with safety in mind. They feature large steps that make them easier to navigate and less prone to accidents.

We recommend that children only use their mid-sleeper to sleep and not to play or hang off the ladder, as this could increase the risk of falls and injuries. We also suggest against using a mid-sleeper for children under six years old, since they might struggle to climb the stairs safely.
Space
Mid sleepers (sometimes called cabin beds) are elevated enough from the ground to allow furniture underneath, transforming bedrooms into multi-purpose study, play and sleep zones. These beds are great for kids whose rooms don't have the space to accommodate furniture. They're also designed to be strong and robust.
Mid-sleeper beds typically have ladders or stairs that children can climb up to reach the sleeping space above, rather than requiring them to climb or leap into the bed like traditional bunk or high sleeper beds do. This makes them more accessible for children who are younger to use and encourages independence when it comes to getting ready for bed. It is important to ensure that the stairs or ladders have guard rails that are in compliance with safety standards and are used in a way that does not pose a risk of injury.
One of the most appealing features of a mid-sleeper is that they are usually fitted with ample storage space. A lot of models have a cubby hole or stair-like drawer under the bed which can be used to store books, toys, and trinkets. Many parents love these features since they help to declutter their child's room and help create a more organized space that gives plenty of room for children to play.
Mid-sleeper bed can be used as a desk. This is great to help children with their assignments and homework, but it's also an excellent way to help them learn good study habits and promote the importance of having a designated workspace. Most models have a pull-out desk that can be neatly hidden away when not being used, and this is especially beneficial in smaller bedrooms where optimising space is key.
