Mid Sleeper Small Single
Standard bed frames do not offer the same storage options as mid sleepers or cabin beds. Pull out desks can be tucked neatly away into furniture when not in use, and shelves are available to store their growing collection.
Also think about children's cabin beds with hooks that can be easily hung on shelves that are perfect to read or pour a glass of water.
Sleeping Area
The sleeping platform on the mid-sleeper is elevated above the ground, and often has sides to create a safe and secure environment that promotes good posture for sleep and spinal alignment. This allows children to sleep longer, more comfortably and more soundly - all contributing to their mental and physical health and well-being.
The small, mid-sleeper bed is a great option for children who are transitioning from cribs to beds. It offers a familiar bed that is comfortable and introduces the elements of a bed for adults that promote independence. The elevated platform and enclosed area will also promote peace and a peaceful nighttime routine.
Mid-sleeper cabin beds are designed to be multifunctional play, study and sleeping spaces for your children. The raised sleeping surface is perfect for putting furniture like a sofa or desk underneath and the solid construction means you do not have to worry about it falling through. This makes a sleeper that is mid-sleeper an ideal choice for children who are beginning to show interest in homework and academic pursuits.
Mid-sized beds for children may have built-in storage which gives your child more room to relax and spread out. They usually come with an adjustable desk, a chest of drawers for storage, or extensive shelving to accommodate books and toys. Certain models, such as the Julian Bowen Skye Playhouse Mid Sleeper, are designed to resemble houses or castles of knights that kids can customize with curtains and windows for an exciting touch.
Most children's mid-sleepers will have a ladder or stairway that allows them to reach the sleeping platform above. They are designed to be strong and secure, with guardrails and wide treads to make the climb easier for younger children. It is always an excellent idea to watch your child when they're using the ladder or stairs to ensure they are following safety guidelines and don't try to climb too high too fast! You can also purchase single mid-sleepers that don't need a ladder or steps at all. This gives a sleeker and more compact appearance.
Mattress
A single that sleeps in the middle is a fantastic choice. The vibrant designs and fun features of these beds captivate the imagination of children and allow them to drift off into a dream with ease. They are also an excellent option when you're struggling to squeeze in drawers or wardrobe spaces, since most come with built-in storage under bed solutions. Open cupboards that are ready to be filled with bags or neat and tidy drawers that have smooth, no-wobble operation, the extra space beneath the mattress could be perfect for storage that is movable and low-level that can grow with your child's.
The type of mattress you select depends largely on your sleeper's preferred position for sleeping, with a softer feel better suited to side and front sleepers than a firmer one. There are also mattresses with additional advantages like anti-dustmite treatment and cooling features to ensure a healthy and restful sleep. Some of these mattresses are able to accommodate pull out desks that provide a perfect study space. They can be a lifesaver for those trying to get the floor cleared in your child's room and let them continue their work while they study.
A majority of the mattresses we offer for cabin beds that are mid-sleeper size are vacuum-packed to make delivery more convenient. This reduces the size of the bed by a significant amount making it much easier to move around your home once you arrive. This is a great option for those who are worried about lifting and moving such huge beds, particularly for those who have joint or back issues.
Some of our mid-sleeper beds can be converted into a day bed and a bunk bed using optional conversion kits that allow them to be adapted as your child grows. This is ideal for families that may need to use a bedroom for a prolonged period of time. For instance the Kidsaw Urban Midsleeper 1 is classic white and birch bed that converts into a loft-style bunk or a standard single bed with the ladder. Alternatively the Julian Bown Skye Playhouse Midsleeper can be described as a design dream made to look like an old castle or a house and is able to 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 provide numerous storage options. Unlike high sleeper and bunk beds that are raised very high they usually sit just a few centimetres from the ground, which leaves plenty of room underneath to add furniture and other useful features. The most obvious under-bed storage solution is a set of drawers. They can be placed at either end of the bed or along its length. Some even have space for a bedside table. For a sleek smooth finish, opt for drawers that are made to fit seamlessly into the divan base.
Woven baskets and drawers constructed of natural materials are a different under-bed storage option worth considering. Woven fibres allow air to circulate and avoid dampness or musty odours from keeping the items stored fresh and safe. If items are to be stored for longer periods, a vacuum packed storage bag is an ideal choice since it eliminates all air and allow you to fit more in your space.
You can also pick a small cabin bed with cabinets and drawers built-in. These will not only utilize the space under your bed to the fullest, but they'll also keep things neat and tidy. Drawer systems that feature smooth, non-wobble runners can help you avoid getting stuck. If you opt for a wooden model for your home, select an attractive finish that matches the style of the room.
If studying is important to you then you should consider middle-sleeper cabins with desks that are pull-out. These beds will not only provide your kids with a comfy space to study or chat with their friends, but they'll also help you save space in their bedrooms. Look for options that include chairs, to make the most of this functional feature.
Design
A single bed is ideal for kids who love to climb, explore and discover. They're typically made of solid hardwoods, and are equipped with ladders that meet strict safety standards. Look for designs that include guard rails on all sides of the upper bed or bunk beds to avoid dangers of entrapment. Some beds also have a net of protection over the upper mattress for added peace of mind.
The majority of beds for children are designed for children aged six and over and are adorned with bright colors that appeal to their growing imaginations. Choose a design that has shelving and a desk that can be pulled out to give you more space to studying or playing.
A lot of the designs we have in our collection are available with a selection of accessories, such as tents tunnels, and pocket organizers which help keep their bedrooms neat and organized. The Pino wooden mid-sleeper that comes with a curtain for instance is available in three frame colours and 9 different bed curtains. Bunk Beds Store UK are available in neutral to themed styles such as unicorns and princesses.
Similarly, some of our single cabin or loft beds can be transformed into a bunk or day bed using an optional conversion kit (sold separately). This allows your child to adapt their space to their changing interests. If you're considering a convertible single cabin bed, opt for a sturdy design that can accommodate an adult weight limit of 80kg's.
If you're planning to introduce one mid sleeper single single in a shared space, consider opting for a neutral style that can be adapted to suit multiple tastes. Paint the walls with a new shade of grey or duck-egg blue to create a backdrop for bedding or furniture that can be easily styled with a variety of colors, including purple, pink or red.
If you're introducing one cabin bed into a bedroom for your child, consider choosing one with an integrated wardrobe built in. This saves space on the floor and makes it easier for your child to keep their clothes neatly organised. Our Julian Bowen Stella and Cookie mid sleeper models come with drawers on the sides that provide plenty of storage space for books, toys as well as other items.
