Mid Sleeper Small Single
Standard bed frames cannot provide 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 the furniture when not in use and ample shelves to accommodate their ever-growing collection of toys and games.
You can also consider bunk beds for kids with shelves that have handy hooks - perfect for a drink of water or a book.
Sleeping Area
The sleeping platform on the mid-sleeper is elevated above the ground, and often has sides to create a safe and secure space that encourages healthy sleep posture and spinal alignment. This allows children to sleep longer, more comfortably and more peacefully. It also improves their physical and mental well-being.
The small, mid-sleeper bed is an excellent choice for children who are transitioning from cribs to beds. It offers a comfortable, comfortable sleeping area and introduces the elements of an adult bed that encourage 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 provide multi-purpose play, study and sleeping spaces for your children. The raised sleeping surface allows you to place furniture like the sofa or desk underneath. It's also strong and there's no need to be concerned about it falling. A mid-sleeper is a great option for children who have started to demonstrate interest in academic pursuits as well as homework.
Mid-sized beds for children may include storage built-in and give your child more space to unwind and spread out. These beds usually include a chest of drawers, pullout desk or extensive shelving which can be used to store all sorts of items including books and toys. Some models, like the Julian Bowen Skye Playhouse mid sleeper - are designed to resemble a home or knight's fort that children can customize with curtains, windows and twinkly lights to give an extra playful feature.
More Bonuses -sleepers will come with an stairway or ladder that aids in reaching the sleeping platform above. They are constructed with wide treads and guardrails that make it easier for small children to climb. It is always an excellent idea to watch your child when they're using the ladder or stairs to ensure that they adhere to safety guidelines and don't try to climb too high too fast! You can also find single-mid sleepers that don't require ladders or any stairs at all, to give a more sleek and compact look.
Mattress
A mid sleeper single is a great choice. The striking designs and exciting features of these beds capture the imagination of children and let them drift into dreamland with ease. These beds are also a practical choice for those who struggle to fit into drawer or wardrobe storage spaces, as they are usually equipped with built-in under bed storage solutions. The extra space beneath your mattress could be used to store small items that will expand with your child. It can be open cupboards for bags or drawers that are neat and tidy, with a smooth, no-slip operation.
The type of mattress you choose depends largely on your sleeper's preferred sleeping position, with a softer feel ideal for side and front sleepers as opposed to a firmer one. You can also find several mattresses that have additional benefits, like anti-dust mite treatments and cooling properties that help to ensure a healthy sleep. Some of these mattresses are able to accommodate pull-out desks that can be used as study areas. These can be a lifesaver when you're trying to tidy up the floor of your child's bedroom and still let them do their homework.
Many of the mattresses we offer for mid-sleeper cabin beds can be vacuum-packed to make it easier to transport them and reduces their size to just a fraction of their original size to allow simpler manoeuvre around your home upon arrival. This is a great option for those who are worried about lifting and moving such an enormous bed, particularly for those who have joint or back problems.
Some of our mid sleeper beds can be transformed to a day bed or bunk bed by using conversion kits, allowing them to adapt as your child grows. This is a great option for families who may require a shared bedroom for a long period of time. The Kidsaw Urban Midsleeper 1 for example, is a classic white-and-birch bed which converts to loft beds or a single bed with ladder. Or the Julian Bown Skye Playhouse Midsleeper is a style dream made to look like the appearance of a castle or home, and can be given an individual touch by adding curtains, twinkly lights or removable stickers.
Under-bed Storage
Mid sleeper cabin beds are popular due to the fact that they offer a lot of clever storage options. Unlike high sleeper and bunk beds which are raised very high they are typically just a few centimetres from the floor - leaving plenty of space underneath to add furniture and other practical features. The most obvious under-bed storage solution is drawers. They can be placed on either side of the bed or along its length. Some even come with space to make a table for the bed. To create a clean smooth finish, opt for drawers designed to be a seamless fit into the divan base.
Another option for storage under beds is woven baskets and drawers. These are made of natural materials. Woven fibres let air circulate and prevent dampness or musty odours from keeping stored items fresh and secure. For items that will be stowed away for longer periods, a vacuum packed storage bag is an ideal choice as it will remove all air which allows you to squeeze more into your space.
You could also opt for an attractive, purpose-built small single cabin bed that has built-in drawers and cabinets. These will not only utilize your space under the bed to the fullest, but they'll also keep things organized and tidy. Drawer systems that have 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, choose an attractive finish that matches the decor of the room.
If studying is important to you then you should consider mid-sleeper cabin beds with desks that are pull-out. These beds won't just give your kids a comfortable place to work or spend time chatting with friends, but they'll also save you space in their bedrooms. Choose options that come with chairs to make the most of this feature.
Design
A single mid sleeper is a fantastic choice for kids who like to climb and explore. They're typically made of solid hardwoods and come with ladders that meet stringent safety standards. You can avoid entrapment by choosing beds that have guard rails that are placed on the sides of the upper bed. Some beds also have a net of protection over the mattress to give you peace of mind.
The majority of beds for children are designed for children six and over and are adorned with bright colors that appeal to their expanding imaginations. Find a style with shelves and a desk that can be pulled out to give you more space to play or studying.
A lot of our designs come with accessories like tunnels, tents, and pocket organizers that help keep your bedroom neat and organised. For instance, the Pino mid-sleeper made of wood with curtain is available in three frame colors and 9 different under bed curtains, ranging from basic neutrals to themed styles like unicorns and princesses.
Similarly, some of our loft or single cabin beds can be made into bunk beds or a day bed by using an optional conversion kit (sold separately). This allows your child to modify the space as their interests change. If you're thinking about a single convertible cabin bed make sure you choose a sturdy design capable of supporting adults with a weight limit of up to 80kg.
If you're planning to introduce one mid sleeper single single in a shared space you should consider an uncluttered style that can be adapted to suit multiple tastes. You can paint the walls with fresh grey or duck egg blue to create a backdrop that can be easily transformed with bedding and furniture in pink, purple, red or any other shade your child likes.
If you're introducing the single cabin bed as a bedroom for your child, you should consider opting for one that has an integrated wardrobe. This reduces floor space and allows your child to keep their clothes neatly organised. Julian Bowen Cookie and Stella mid-sleeper models come with side drawers for storing books, toys and other small bits and pieces.
