Mid Sleeper Small Single
Standard bed frames don't offer the same storage options as mid sleepers or cabin beds. Consider options like desks that pull out that can be easily tucked into furniture when not in use, as well as ample shelves to accommodate their ever-growing assortment of toys and games.
Also consider children's cabin beds with handy hooks on shelves - perfect for reading or drinking a glass of water.
Sleeping Area
The sleeping platform of a mid-sleeper can be elevated from the ground, and usually has sides to provide a secure and safe environment that promotes good sleep posture and spinal alignment. This helps children sleep longer, more comfortably and more comfortably - all of which contribute to their physical and mental health and wellbeing.
A mid sleeper small single is a great option for children making the transition from crib to bed as it provides a familiar and comfortable sleeping space while introducing elements of an adult bed that promote independence. The elevated platform and enclosed space also provides a relaxing and peaceful bedtime routine, helping them relax for a peaceful night's rest.
Mid sleeper cabin beds are designed to be multifunctional play, study and sleep spaces for your children. The raised sleeping surface is ideal for placing furniture like desks or a sofa on top and the sturdy construction ensures you do not have to worry about it falling through. A mid-sleeper is a great choice for children who have started to demonstrate enthusiasm for academic pursuits and homework.
Mid-sleeper beds for children can come with built-in storage that can provide your kids with more space to spread out and unwind. These beds typically have a pullout desk, a chest of drawers for storage or extensive shelving to accommodate toys and books. Certain models, such as the Julian Bowen Skye Playhouse mid sleeper - are even designed to look like a house or knight's fort, which kids can personalize with curtains, windows and twinkly lights to give an extra playful design.
Most children's mid-sleepers will have an stairway or ladder that aids in reaching the sleeping platform above. These are designed to be strong and safe, with guardrails as well as wide treads to make the climb easier for younger children. It is important to supervise your child while they use the ladder or stairs to ensure they are adhering to safety guidelines and not trying to climb too fast. You can also find single mid sleepers that don't require ladders or stairs at all for a sleeker, more compact look.
Mattress
There's a lot to love about a mid sleeper compact single. The vibrant designs and fun features of these beds captivate the imagination of children, allowing them to drift into dreamland with ease. They are also an excellent option if you're struggling to fit in wardrobe or drawer storage spaces, since most come with built-in under bed storage solutions. The extra space under the mattress can be used to store small objects that will grow with your child. It could be open cabinets that can be used for totes, or drawers that are neat and tidy, with a smooth, no-slip operation.
The type of mattress you pick will be based on the sleeping position of your sleeper. A softer mattress is better for front sleepers or side sleepers, whereas a firmer mattress is better for stomach and back sleepers. There are mattresses with additional benefits such as anti-dustmite treatments and cooling qualities to promote healthy sleep. Some of these mattresses can accommodate pull out desks that offer a great study area. These can be a real lifesaver if you're trying to clean the floor in your children's room and let them continue their homework at the same time.
The majority of mattresses we sell for cabin beds that are mid-sleeper size are vacuum-packed to make delivery easier. This reduces their size by a small amount making it much easier to move around your home once you arrive. This is an excellent option for those who suffer from joint or back problems and are concerned about the hassle of moving a large bed.
Some of our mid-sleeper beds can be transformed into a day bed and a bunk bed using optional conversion kits which allow them to change as your child develops. This is ideal for families who might require a bedroom for a prolonged period of time. For example the Kidsaw Urban Midsleeper 1 is classic white and birch mattress that can be transformed into a loft-style bunk or a standard single bed with a ladder. Alternatively, the Julian Bown Skye Playhouse Midsleeper can be described as a design dream that is designed to resemble a castle or house, and can be given a personal touch with curtains and twinkly lights, or removable stickers.
Under-bed Storage
Mid sleeper cabin beds are popular because they provide plenty of storage options. They typically sit one metre off the floor unlike high sleeper or bunk beds which are elevated very high. mid sleeper bunk allows plenty of room underneath for furniture and other useful features. Drawers are the best solution to storage underneath the bed. They can be placed on either side of the bed or along its length. Some even have room to make a table for the bed. For a sleek smooth finish, opt for drawers made to fit seamlessly into the divan base.
Woven baskets and drawers constructed from natural materials are an additional under-bed storage solution worth considering. Woven fibres circulate air, preventing dampness and musty odours. They keep the items fresh and safe. A storage bag that is vacuum-packed is ideal for items that need to be kept for a longer time. It will take out any air and allow you to squeeze in more.
You can also choose a small cabin bed with cabinets and drawers built-in. These beds will not only make the most of your space under the bed, but also keep everything neat and tidy. Drawer systems with smooth, no-wobble runners are a must especially if you want to prevent them from jamming. If you choose a wooden model for your home, opt for a painted finish to match the style of the room.
If studying is important to you it's worth considering mid-sleeper cabin beds that have desks that can be pulled out. These beds won't just provide your kids with a comfy place to work or to chat with friends, but they'll also save you space in their bedrooms. Pick a set that has chairs to get the most out of this feature.
Design
A single, mid-sleeper is great for kids who are prone to climbing, exploring and discover. These mid-sleepers are often made from solid hardwoods, and are equipped with ladders that comply with strict safety standards. You can prevent the risk of entrapment by selecting beds that have guard rails along the sides of the upper mattress. Some beds offer a protective mesh that covers the mattress to give you extra security.
The majority of cabin beds for children are designed for six year olds and above. They feature vibrant colors that entice their naiveté. Choose a design that has shelves and a pull-out desk to give you more space to play or study.
A lot of our designs include accessories like tunnels, tents and pockets organizers to keep your bedroom neat and organised. The Pino wooden mid-sleeper that comes with a curtain for example is available in 3 frames and 9 curtains for the bed. They are available in neutral to themed designs like unicorns and princesses.
A conversion kit is available separately to convert some of our loft beds or single cabins into a bunk bed or day bed. This allows your child to alter the room as their interests change. If you are thinking of a single convertible cabin bed make sure you choose a sturdy design that can support an adult weight limit up to 80kg.
If you're planning to introduce one mid sleeper single one to a room shared by two think about an uncluttered style that can be altered to suit multiple preferences. Paint the walls a fresh shade of grey or a duck-egg blue to create an ideal backdrop for bedding and furniture that can be easily restyled in purple, pink or red.
You should consider a cabin bed with an integrated wardrobe if you're introducing one to your child's bedroom. This will reduce 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 drawers on the sides that provide plenty of storage space for toys, books and other bits and bobs.
