Mid Sleeper Small single mid sleeper cabin bed

Standard bed frames cannot provide the same storage options as mid-sleepers or cabin beds. Desks with pull-outs can be neatly tucked away into furniture when not in use and shelves are also available to store their ever-growing collections.

Also consider bunk beds for children with shelves that have handy hooks - ideal for drinking a glass of water or reading.

Sleeping Area

The sleeping platform of the mid-sleeper is elevated from the ground and often has sides to provide a secure and safe environment that encourages good posture and spinal alignment. This assists children to sleep longer, longer and more soundly - all contributing to their mental and physical well-being and health.

A small single bed that is mid-sleeper is also a great choice for children who are transitioning from crib to bed, as it provides a familiar and cozy sleeping space, while introducing elements of a grown-up bed that encourages independence. The elevated platform and enclosed space also helps to promote relaxation and a peaceful bedtime routine, assisting them to settle down for a restful night's sleep.

Mid sleeper cabins are designed as multi-purpose spaces for children to study, play and relax. The raised bed surface lets you to place furniture like an office or a sofa under. It's also durable, so there's no need to be concerned about it falling. This makes a mid sleeper an ideal choice for children who are beginning to show an interest in homework and academic pursuits.

Children's mid-sleepers are often equipped with built-in storage, which can provide your kids with more space to sprawl out and unwind. These beds usually include drawers in the chest, a large shelving or a pullout desk that can accommodate all sorts of items including books and toys. Some models - like the Julian Bowen Skye Playhouse mid sleeper - are designed to look like a house or knight's fort that children can customize with windows, curtains and twinkly lights for an extra-fun touch.

Most mid-sleepers for children will have stairs or a ladder that allows them to reach the sleeping platform above. These are designed to be strong and secure, with guardrails and wide treads to make climbing easier for children who are younger. Always supervise your child whenever they use the ladder or stairs to ensure they're adhering to safety guidelines and not trying to climb too fast. You can also find single mid sleepers that don't require a ladder or stairs at all, for a sleeker and more compact look.

Mattress

There's a lot to love about a mid-sleeper small single. Their bold designs and fun features draw children's attention, helping them to drift off to dreamland more easily. They are also an excellent option 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 smaller objects that will grow with your child. It could be open cabinets for bags or drawers that are tidy and neat with smooth, non-slip operation.

The type of mattress you choose will depend on the position of your sleeper. A mattress that is soft is ideal for side or front sleepers, whereas a more firm mattress is more suitable for stomach and back sleepers. There are also mattresses that offer additional benefits such as anti-dustmite treatments and cooling qualities to help promote a healthy sleep. Some of these mattresses can include pull-out desks, which make a great study space. These beds can be a lifesaver for those struggling to clear the floor in your children's room and allow them to continue their work at the same time.

A lot 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 only a fraction of their original size to allow easier maneuvering around your home upon arrival. This is a great solution for those with back or joint problems and are worried about moving a large bed.

Using optional conversion kits, a few of our beds for mid cabin sleeper-sleepers can be converted into a daybed as well as a bunkbed. This lets them grow with your child. This is perfect for families who require the same bedroom for a long period of time. The Kidsaw Urban Midsleeper 1 for example is a classic white-and-birch bed which converts to midi loft bed beds or a single bed with a ladder. Additionally, the Julian Bown Skye Playhouse Midsleeper is a design dream that is designed to resemble the appearance of a castle or home, and can be given a personal touch with curtains, twinkly lights or removable stickers.

Under-bed Storage

A big draw of mid sleeper cabin beds is that they come with many clever storage options. Unlike high sleeper and bunk beds, which are raised to an extremely high level, they typically only sit at a distance of about a metre from the ground, which leaves plenty of room underneath to put furniture and other practical features. The most obvious under bed storage solution is a set of drawers. They can be positioned at either end of the bed or along its length. Some even have space for a bedside table. Find drawers that are able to fit into the divan base to give a clean and seamless finish.

Woven baskets and drawers made from natural materials are an additional under-bed storage solution worth looking into. Woven fibres circulate air and prevent dampness and musty odors. The storage items are fresh and secure. A storage bag that is vacuum-packed is perfect for items that need to be stored away for a longer time. It will take out all air and let you fit in more.

You can also pick a smaller cabin bed that has cabinets and drawers built-in. They will not only use the space under your bed to the max, they'll also keep things neat and tidy. Drawer systems that have smooth, non-wobble runners will help you avoid getting stuck. If you opt for a wooden model, choose an aesthetically pleasing finish that blends with the rest of the interior decor.

It's also worth searching for mid sleeper cabin bed mid beds with desks that can be pulled out if studying is a priority. These will not only give your children a cozy space to study or hang out with friends, but they'll also make the most of the space in your bedroom as well. Consider options that include chairs to make the most of this useful feature.

Design

A single mid sleeper is a great option for kids who like to climb and explore. They are typically constructed of solid hardwoods, and come with ladders that meet strict safety standards. Look for designs that include guard rails on both sides of the upper bed or a bunk system to prevent entrapment hazards. Some beds also have a protective net over the mattress to provide peace of mind.

Most children's cabin beds are designed for six-year olds and above. They feature vibrant colors that entice their naiveté. You can also choose an option that has shelving and a pull out desk that can be used to play or study.

Many of the designs we have in our collection are available with a range of accessories, such as tents tunnels, and pocket organizers that can help keep their bedroom tidy and organized. The Pino wooden mid-sleeper that comes with a curtain for instance, is available in 3 frame colours and 9 different curtain styles for your bed. They range from neutrals to themed designs such as princesses and unicorns.

Similar to that, a few of our single cabin or loft beds can be transformed into a bunk or day bed with the help of an optional conversion kit (sold separately). This allows your child the flexibility to change their space according to their changing interests. If you are considering a single cabin bed that can be converted, choose a sturdy construction that can support adults with a weight limit of up to 80kg.

If you're planning to introduce a single mid sleeper small single in a shared space you should consider a neutral style that can be altered to suit multiple tastes. Paint the walls with a fresh coat of grey or duck egg blue to create a background that is easily changed with furniture and bedding in purple, pink or red, or any other shade your child loves.

If you're planning to add a single cabin bed to a bedroom for your child, consider opting for one that has an integrated wardrobe. This will reduce the floor space and make it easier for your child's clothes to be organised. Our Julian Bowen Stella and Cookie mid sleeper models come with side drawers that offer plenty of storage space for toys, books as well as other items.
