Mid Sleeper Small single cabin bed mid sleeper
Standard bed frames do not offer the same storage options as mid sleepers or cabin beds. Desks with pull-outs can be easily tucked into furniture when not being used and shelves are also available to store their ever-growing collection.
Also consider children’s cabin beds with hooks for shelves – perfect for reading or drinking a glass of water.
Sleeping Area
The platform that sleeps on for a mid-sleeper is elevated from the ground, and usually has sides to provide a secure and safe environment that encourages a healthy sleep posture and spinal alignment. This helps children sleep longer, more comfortably and more peacefully. It also improves their mental and physical health.
A small single that sleeps mid is also a good option for children who are transitioning from crib to childs midi bed, as it provides a familiar and comforting sleeping area while introducing the elements of a grown-up bed that encourage independence. The elevated platform and enclosed space encourages relaxation and a calm bedtime routine, helping them settle down for a restful night’s sleep.
Mid sleeper cabin beds are designed to be multi-purpose play, study and sleep spaces for your children. The elevated sleeping surface allows you to put furniture like the sofa or desk underneath. It is also sturdy and 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 interest in academic and homework pursuits.
Children’s mid sleepers may have built-in storage that can give your children more room to spread out and unwind. These beds often include an adjustable desk, a chest of storage drawers or a large shelving unit to store books and toys. Certain models, such as the Julian Bowen Skye Playhouse mid sleeper – are even designed to resemble a home or knight’s fort that children can personalize by adding curtains, windows and twinkly lights for an extra-fun feature.
The majority of children’s mid-sleepers include stairs or ladders that allow them to climb up to the platform they sleep on. They are designed to be strong and safe, with guardrails as well as wide treads to make the climb easier for children who are younger. It is always a good idea to supervise your child when they’re using the ladder or stairs to ensure that they follow safety guidelines and don’t try to climb too high too quickly! There are also single mid-sleepers that don’t require ladders or any stairs at all, to give a more sleek and compact look.
Mattress
There’s a lot to love about a mid sleeper compact single. The striking designs and exciting features of these beds captivate the imagination of children, allowing them to relax in a dreamlike state. These beds are also an excellent option if you’re struggling to fit in drawers or wardrobe spaces, as most come with built-in storage under bed solutions. The extra space beneath the mattress can be used to store low-level items that will expand with your child. It can be open cupboards for totes or drawers that are neat and tidy with smooth, non-slip operation.
The kind of mattress you select is largely dependent on your sleeper’s preferred sleeping position, with a softer feel ideal for side and front sleepers as opposed to a firmer one. There are also mattresses that have added advantages such as anti-dustmite treatments as well as cooling properties to help promote a healthy sleep. Some of these beds accommodate pull-out desks, which make a great study space. They can be lifesavers when you are trying to tidy the carpet in your child’s bedroom and still allow them to complete their homework.
A majority of the mattresses we sell for mid-sleeper cabin beds are vacuum packed to make delivery easy. This reduces the size of the bed by a significant amount making it much easier to move around your home when you arrive. This is an excellent option for people who have joint or back issues and are worried about moving a bed.
Some of our mid sleeper beds can be made into a day childs midi bed and bunk bed with the help of conversion kits that allow them to be adapted as your child grows. This is perfect for families that may need to use the same bedroom for a prolonged period of time. For instance the Kidsaw Urban Midsleeper 1 is classic white and birch mattress that can be transformed into a loft style bunk or a traditional single bed with a ladder. The Julian Bown Skye Midsleeper, an aesthetic dream that appears like an elaborate castle, can be customized with curtains, twinkling lights or removable stickers.
Under-bed Storage
Mid sleeper cabin beds are popular due to the fact that they provide a variety of storage options. Unlike high sleeper and bunk beds which are raised to an extremely high level, they typically only sit about one metre from the ground, which leaves plenty of space underneath to add furniture and other useful features. The most obvious under-bed storage solution is a set of drawers. They can span the entire length of the bed, and be placed on either side or incorporate a space for tables for bedside. For a sleek and seamless look, search for drawers that are made to fit seamlessly into the divan base.
Woven baskets and drawers constructed from natural materials are an additional under-bed storage solution worth looking into. Woven fibres allow air to circulate and eliminate dampness or musty odours from keeping stored items fresh and safe. A vacuum-packed storage bag is ideal for items that are stored for a longer time. It will take out all air and allow you to squeeze in more.
You could also opt for an attractive, purpose-built small single cabin bed with built-in cabinets and drawers. These will not only make use of your under bed space to the maximum, but they’ll also keep things organized and tidy. Drawer systems that have smooth, no-wobble runners are a must particularly if you want to prevent them from jamming. If you decide to go with a wood model for your home, choose 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 can be pulled out. These beds will not only provide your children with a comfortable place to do their homework or chat with friends, they will also free up space in their bedrooms. Consider options that include chairs to make the most of this functional feature.
Design
A single mid-sleeper is perfect for children who like to climb, explore and discover. They’re typically made of solid hardwoods, and are equipped with ladders that are designed to meet the most stringent safety standards. You can avoid from entrapment by choosing beds which have guard rails that are placed on the sides of the upper bed. Some beds will also include a protective net over the mattress to provide peace of mind.
Most children’s cabin beds are designed for six-year older or more and are adorned with bright colors that appeal to their developing imaginations. Choose a design that has shelves and a desk that can be pulled out to give you more space for play or studying.
A lot of the designs we have in our collection come with a variety of accessories, such as tents tunnels and pocket organisers which help keep their bedrooms tidy and organized. 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 styles such as unicorns and princesses.
A conversion kit is available separately to convert some of our loft beds or single cabins into bunk beds or day bed. This allows your child to alter the room depending on their needs. If you are thinking of a single convertible cabin bed, choose a sturdy construction that can support adults with a weight limit of up to 80kg.
Think about a neutral design to accommodate a variety of tastes when introducing a mid rise bunk bed-sleeper small single into a shared bedroom. You can paint the walls with fresh grey or duck egg blue to create a backdrop that can be easily transformed with furniture and bedding in shades of purple, pink, red or any other shade your child loves.
Consider choosing a bed that has an integrated wardrobe if planning to introduce one into your child’s bedroom. This saves floor space and allows your child to keep their clothes neatly organised. Our Julian Bowen Stella and Cookie mid sleeper cabin bed with mattress-sleeper models come with side drawers that have plenty of storage space for toys, books and other bits and bobs.
