Mid Sleeper Small Single
Mid-sleepers for children and cabin beds are a great way to provide storage options that traditional bed frames can't. Consider options like desks that are pull-out and can be easily tucked away into the furniture when they are not in use and ample shelves to store their ever-growing collection of games and toys.
Also consider bunk beds for children with shelves that come with handy hooks that are ideal for a drink of water or reading.
Sleeping Area
The sleeping platform of the mid-sleeper is elevated above the ground, usually with sides to create a secure and secure environment that promotes healthy posture for sleep and spinal alignment. This helps children sleep longer, better and more soundly - all of which contribute to their mental and physical health and well-being.
A mid sleeper small single is also a good option for children making the transition from crib to bed, because it offers a comfortable and cozy sleeping space, while introducing elements of a grown-up bed that encourages independence. The elevated platform and enclosed space also encourage peace and a peaceful nighttime routine.
Mid sleeper cabins are designed to serve as multifunctional spaces for your child to study, play and relax. The raised sleeping surface allows you to place furniture such as a desk or sofa underneath. It's also durable, so there's no need to be concerned about it falling. A mid sleeper is a great choice for children who have started to show interest in academic pursuits and homework.
Children's mid-sleepers may have built-in storage, which can allow your children to spread out and unwind. These beds usually include drawers in the chest, a shelves that can be pulled out or a pull-out desk which can be used to store all sorts of items including books and toys. Certain models, such as the Julian Bowen Skye Playhouse mid sleeper - are even designed to look like a house or knight's fort that kids can customize with curtains, windows and twinkly lights to give an extra-fun feature.
The majority of mid-sleepers for kids will come with stairs or a ladder that helps them reach the sleeping platform above. They're designed with wide treads and guardrails that make it easier for young children to climb. It is always a good idea to supervise your child when they're using the stairs or ladder to ensure that they adhere to safety guidelines and aren't trying to get up too high too quickly! There are also single mid-sleepers that don't require ladders or steps at all. This creates a sleeker and more compact appearance.
Mattress
A single that sleeps in the middle is a good choice. Their vibrant designs and engaging features capture children's imagination and help them sleep more quickly. These beds can also be an excellent option for those who struggle to fit in drawers or wardrobe spaces, as they are usually equipped with built-in under-bed storage solutions. The extra space under the mattress can be used to store small items that will grow with your child. It can be open cabinets that can be used for bags, or drawers that are neat and tidy, with smooth, non-slip operation.
The kind of mattress you choose will depend on the sleeper's preferred sleeping position that is softer, ideal for side and front sleepers than a firmer one. There are mattresses with additional advantages such as anti-dustmite treatments and cooling qualities to promote healthy sleep. Some of these beds include pull-out desks, which make a great study space. They can be a lifesaver when you're trying to clean up the carpet in your child's bedroom and still let them complete their homework.
The majority of mattresses we sell for mid-sleeper cabin beds are vacuum packed to make delivery more convenient. This reduces their size by a fraction making it much easier to move around your home after arriving. This is a great choice if you're worried about lifting and moving huge beds, particularly for those with joint or back issues.
With the help of conversion kits, a few of our beds for mid-sleepers can be transformed into a daybed as well as a bunkbed. This lets them develop with your child. This is ideal for families who may need to use an entire bedroom for a lengthy period of time. The Kidsaw Urban Midsleeper 1 for example, is a classic white-and-birch bed that can be converted into loft beds or a single bed with ladder. Alternatively the Julian Bown Skye Playhouse Midsleeper can be described as a design dream built to look like the appearance of a castle or home and is able to be given a personal touch with curtains and twinkly lights as well as removable stickers.
Under-bed Storage
Mid-sleeper cabin beds are popular due to the fact that they provide a variety of clever storage options. Unlike high sleeper and bunk beds, which are raised very high they are typically at a distance of about a metre from the floor - leaving plenty of room underneath to add furniture and other features. Drawers are the most obvious option for storage under the bed. They can be put at either end of the bed or along its length. Some even have space for bedside table. For a sleek and seamless look, search for drawers that are designed to fit seamlessly into the divan base.
Woven baskets and drawers constructed of natural materials are a different under bed storage option worth looking into. Woven fibres let air circulate and prevent dampness or musty odours from keeping stored items fresh and secure. For items that are stored for longer periods, a vacuum packed storage bag is a great choice as it will remove all air, allowing you to fit more into your space.
You could also consider a stylish, purpose-designed small single cabin bed with built-in cabinets and drawers. These will not only make use of your under bed space to the fullest, but they'll also keep things organized and tidy. Drawer systems that have smooth, non-wobble runners can aid in avoiding getting stuck. If you choose a wood model, make sure you choose an aesthetically pleasing finish that blends with the rest of the room's decor.
It's also worth looking for mid-sleeper cabin beds with desks that can be pulled out if studying is a top priority. These beds won't just give your kids a comfortable space to study or chat with friends, but they'll also free up space in their bedrooms. Pick a set that has chairs to make the most of this feature.
Design
A single mid-sleeper is a fantastic choice for kids who love to climb and explore. They are typically constructed from solid hardwoods, and are equipped with ladders that meet strict safety standards. Be sure to look for designs that include guard rails on the sides of the bed or a bunk system to prevent entrapment hazards. Certain beds include a safety mesh over the upper mattress to give you additional security.
Most children's beds are designed for children aged six or older and feature bright colors that appeal to their expanding imaginations. Find a style with shelving and a pull-out desk to give you more space to play or studying.
Many of our designs come with accessories like tents, tunnels, and pocket organizers that help keep your bedroom neat and organised. The Pino wooden mid-sleeper with curtains for example is available in 3 frames and 9 curtains for the bed. They are available in neutral to themed designs like princesses and unicorns.
In the same way, some of our single cabin or loft beds can be converted into bunk beds or a day bed with the help of an optional conversion kit (sold separately). This allows your child to alter their bed according to their interests and preferences. If you are considering a single cabin bed that can be converted make sure you choose a sturdy design capable of supporting the weight of an adult up to 80kg.
If you're introducing an individual mid-sleeper small one to a room shared by two, consider opting for a neutral design that can be modified to accommodate different tastes. You could paint the walls a new 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.
If you're considering introducing the single cabin bed as a bedroom for your child, consider choosing one with an integrated wardrobe built in. mid loft bed will save the floor space and makes it easier for your child to keep their clothes neatly organised. Our Julian Bowen Stella and Cookie mid sleeper models have side drawers that offer plenty of storage space for books, toys as well as other items.
