Mid Sleeper Small Single
Children's mid sleepers and cabin beds offer versatile storage facilities that bed frames of the standard can't. Desks that can be pulled out can be neatly tucked away into furniture when not in usage and shelves are also available to store their growing collection.
Also, think about cabin beds for children with hooks that can be easily hung on shelves - perfect to read or pour a glass of water.
Sleeping Area
The platform for sleeping on the mid-sleeper is elevated off the ground, usually with sides to create a safe and secure environment that promotes healthy posture for sleep and spinal alignment. This assists children to sleep longer, longer and more comfortably - all of which contribute to their physical and mental health and well-being.
A mid sleeper small single is also a good option for kids who are making the transition from crib to bed, as it provides a familiar and comfortable sleeping space while introducing the elements of a adult bed that promote independence. The elevated platform and enclosed area will also promote the relaxation and a tranquil evening routine.
Mid-sleeper cabin beds are designed to be multifunctional play, study and sleeping areas for your children. The elevated sleeping surface allows you to place furniture like an office or a sofa under. It is also sturdy, so there's no need to be concerned about it falling. A mid sleeper is a great choice for kids who have begun to show interest in academic pursuits as well as homework.
Mid-sleepers for kids can include storage built-in which gives your child more room to unwind and spread out. These beds often include the option of a pull-out desk, chest of drawers for storage, or a large shelving unit to store books and toys. Some models - like the Julian Bowen Skye Playhouse mid sleeper - have been designed to resemble a home or knight's fort, which kids can personalize by adding curtains, windows and twinkly lights for an extra playful feature.
Most children's mid high cabin beds sleepers will feature ladders or stairs that allow them to climb up to the sleeping platform above. These are designed with wide treads and guardrails that make it easier for young children to climb. It's always a good idea to supervise your child while they use the stairs or ladder to ensure that they follow safety guidelines and don't try to climb up in a hurry! You can also get single-mid sleepers which don't need a ladder or stairs at all, to give a more sleek and compact appearance.
Mattress
There's plenty to love about a mid-sleeper small single. Their striking designs and exciting features entice children's imagination, helping them to sleep more easily. These beds are also an ideal option when you're struggling to squeeze in drawers or wardrobe spaces, as most come with built-in under-bed storage solutions. Open cupboards that are ready for totes or neat and tidy drawers that have smooth, no-wobble operation, the extra space under the mattress can be ideal for adaptable low-level storage that will grow with your child.
The type of mattress that you pick will be based on the position of your sleeper. A mattress that is soft is best for side or front sleepers, whereas a more firm mattress is ideal for stomach and back sleepers. You can also choose from various mattresses that offer additional benefits, like anti-dust mite treatments and cooling properties that help to encourage a healthy sleep. Some of these mattresses are able to accommodate pull out desks that can be used as study areas. They can be lifesavers when you are trying to tidy the carpet in your child's bedroom and still let them complete their homework.
Many of the mattresses we sell for cabin beds for mid-sleepers are vacuum-packed to make the delivery easier. This reduces their size by a fraction, making it easier to move them around your home once you arrive. This is a great solution for those who suffer from joint or back issues and are concerned about the hassle of moving a large bed.
Some of our mid sleeper beds can be converted to a day bed or bunk bed by using conversion kits which allow them to change as your child develops. This is ideal for families who might need to use the bedroom for a long period of time. For example, the Kidsaw Urban Midsleeper 1 is an iconic white and birch bed that can be converted into a loft-style bunk or a standard single bed with the ladder. Additionally you can choose the Julian Bown Skye Playhouse Midsleeper can be described as a design dream that is designed to resemble the appearance of a castle or home and is able to be given an individual touch by adding curtains and twinkly lights, or removable stickers.
Under-bed Storage
Mid-sleeper cabin beds are popular because they provide plenty of storage options. In contrast to high sleeper and bunk beds, which are elevated to a high level they usually sit at a distance of about a metre from the floor - leaving plenty of space underneath to install furniture and other practical features. Drawers are the best solution for under bed storage. These can run the full length of the midi bed frame, be placed at either end, or be used as bedside tables. Be sure to look for drawers that can be incorporated seamlessly into the divan base to give a clean and seamless look.
Woven baskets and drawers constructed of natural materials are a different under bed storage option worth taking into consideration. Woven fibers allow air to circulate and prevent dampness or musty odours from keeping items in good condition and safe. A storage bag that is vacuum-packed is ideal for items that are stored for a longer time. It will take out all air and allow you to fit into more.
You can also choose a smaller cabin bed that has cabinets and drawers built in. These beds will not only maximize your space under the bed, but will also keep everything neat and tidy. Drawer systems that have smooth, no-wobble runners will aid in avoiding getting stuck. If you choose a wood model, opt for a painted finish that coordinates with the rest of the room's decor.
It's also worth looking for mid-sleeper cabin beds with pull-out desks if study is a top priority. They'll not only provide your children a comfortable place to do homework or hang out with family, but they'll make the most of the space in their bedroom too. Consider options that include chairs to make the most of this practical feature.
Design
A single mid sleeper loft bed sleeper is a great option for children who love to climb and explore. They're often crafted from solid hardwoods, and are equipped with ladders that are designed to meet the most stringent safety standards. You can avoid the risk of entrapment by selecting beds that have guard rails on the sides of the bed. Some beds offer a protective mesh over the upper mattress to provide you with extra security.
Most children's cabin beds and mid sleepers beds are designed for six-year older or more and are adorned with vibrant colors that entice their growing imaginations. If you prefer, choose a design that features shelving and a pull out desk that can be used to play or study.
Many of our designs include accessories like tents, tunnels, and pocket organizers that help keep the bedroom neat and organised. For example the Pino wooden mid sleeper with curtain is available in three frame colours and nine different under bed curtains that range from simple neutrals to themed designs such as princesses and unicorns.
Similar to that, a few of our loft or single cabin beds can be made into a day bed or bunk bed by using an optional conversion kit (sold separately). This allows your child the flexibility to adapt their space to their interests and preferences. If you're considering a convertible single cabin bed, opt for a sturdy structure that can support a maximum weight for adults of 80kg's.
Choose a neutral look to accommodate different tastes when introducing a mid-sleeper tiny single in a shared bedroom. Paint the walls a fresh shade of grey or blue duck egg to create an ideal backdrop for bedding and furniture that can be easily styled in pink, purple or red.
You should consider a cabin bed that has an integrated wardrobe if you are adding one to your child's bedroom. This saves the floor space and allows your child to keep their clothes neatly organised. Our Julian Bowen Stella and Cookie mid-sleeper models come with side drawers that offer plenty of storage space for toys, books and other bits and bobs.
