Mid Sleeper Small Single
Children's mid sleepers and cabin beds provide a variety of storage facilities that standard bed frames simply can't. Pull out desks can be neatly tucked away into furniture when not being used and shelves are readily available to store their growing collection.
Also think about mid sleeper bed with handy hooks on shelves - ideal for a book or drink of water.
Sleeping Area
The platform for sleeping of the mid-sleeper is elevated from the ground and usually has sides to create an environment of safety and security that promotes good sleep posture and spinal alignment. This helps children sleep longer, better and more peacefully. It also improves their physical and mental health.
A small single that sleeps mid is also a good option for children making the transition from crib to bed as it provides a familiar and comforting sleeping area while introducing elements of a grown-up bed that encourages independence. The elevated platform and enclosed space also encourages relaxation and a calm routine for bedtime, helping them get a good night's sleep.
Mid sleeper cabin beds are designed to provide multi-purpose play, study, and sleep spaces for your children. The elevated sleeping surface is perfect for putting furniture like desks or a sofa on top and the solid construction means you do not have to worry about it slipping. This makes a sleeper that is mid-sleeper an ideal choice for children who are beginning to show an interest in homework and academic pursuits.
Mid-sleepers for children can come with storage built-in and give your child more space to relax and spread out. These beds typically include an armoire, shelves that can be pulled out or a pull-out desk that can accommodate all sorts of things, including books and toys. Some models, like the Julian Bowen Skye Playhouse Mid Sleeper, are designed to look like houses or castles of knights that kids can decorate with curtains and windows for an exciting touch.
Most mid-sleepers for children will have a ladder or stairway that allows them to reach the platform for sleeping above. They're designed with wide treads and guardrails to make it easier for young children to climb. It's always recommended to be a vigilant observer of your child while they use the stairs or ladder to ensure they are following safety guidelines and don't try to climb too high too quickly! You can also find single mid-sleepers that don't require a ladder or stairs at all for a sleeker, more compact appearance.
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. The majority of these beds come with built-in storage beneath the mattress, which is a great option if you are struggling to make room for a wardrobe or drawers. Whether it's open cupboards ready to be filled with bags or neat and tidy drawers that have smooth, non-wobble operation, the extra space under the mattress can be ideal for a low-level storage system that can expand with your child's.
The kind of mattress you choose will depend on the sleeping position of your sleeper. A softer mattress is ideal for side or front sleepers, whereas a firmer mattress is ideal for back and stomach sleepers. There are mattresses that have added advantages like anti-dustmite treatments as well as cooling properties to ensure a healthy and restful sleep. Some of these mattresses can accommodate pull-out desks, which can be a great place to study. These 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.
Many of the mattresses we sell for cabin beds for mid-sleepers are vacuum-packed to make delivery easier. This reduces their size by a small amount and makes it easier to move around your home when you arrive. This is a great choice if you're worried about lifting and moving such huge beds, particularly for those who have joint or back issues.
Using optional conversion kits, some of our beds for mid-sleepers can be transformed into a daybed or a bunkbed. This allows them to develop with your child. This is ideal for families that may require a shared bedroom for a prolonged period of time. For instance the Kidsaw Urban Midsleeper 1 is an iconic white and birch mattress that can be transformed into a loft style bunk or a standard single bed with an incline. Or the Julian Bown Skye Playhouse Midsleeper is a style dream built to look like the appearance of a castle or home, and can be given an individual touch by adding curtains, twinkly lights or removable stickers.
Under-bed Storage
Mid-sleeper cabin beds are popular because they offer a lot of clever storage options. They are usually just one meter off the floor in contrast to high sleeper bunk beds that are to a high level. This allows plenty of space under the bed for furniture and other useful features. Drawers are the most obvious option for storage under the bed. They can be placed at either end of the bed or along the length. Some even have room to make a table for the bed. Find drawers that are able to fit into a divan base, to give a clean and seamless finish.
Another option for storage under beds is woven drawers and baskets. These are made of natural materials. Woven fibres circulate air and prevent dampness and musty odors. The storage items are fresh and safe. A vacuum-packed storage bag is perfect for items that will be stored for a longer period of time. It will remove any air and allow you to squeeze into more.
You can also pick small cabin beds with drawers and cabinets built in. They will not only use your under bed space to the maximum, but they'll also keep things neat and tidy. Drawer systems that feature smooth, non-wobble runners will assist you in avoiding jamming. If you decide to go with a wood model for your home, select an oiled finish that is in line with the style of the room.
If you are a student then you should consider mid-sleeper cabin beds that have desks that are pull-out. Not only will these give your children a cozy place to work from or have a chat with their friends, but they'll save you some much needed space in your bedroom as well. Consider options that include chairs to make the most of this practical feature.
Design
A single mid sleeper is a great option for kids who love to climb and explore. These beds are usually constructed of solid hardwoods, and come with ladders that comply with the strict safety standards. Find designs that have guard rails on the sides of the bed or bunk systems to avoid the risk of entrapment. Some beds have a protective mesh on top of the mattress to give you additional security.
Most children's beds are designed for kids aged six years or older. They are designed with bright colors that appeal to their expanding imaginations. If you prefer, choose a design that features shelving and a pull out desk that can be used to play or study.
A lot of our designs come with accessories like tunnels, tents and pocket organizers to help keep the bedroom neat and organised. The Pino wooden mid-sleeper that comes with a curtain for example is available in three frames and 9 bed curtains. These vary from neutrals to themed designs like princesses and unicorns.
In the same way, some of our loft or single cabin beds can be made into bunk beds or a day bed using an optional conversion kit (sold separately). This allows your child to alter their bed according to their changing interests. If you are thinking of a single convertible cabin bed make sure you choose a sturdy design that can support adults with a weight limit of up to 80kg.
Consider mid sleeper beds to accommodate different preferences when introducing a small single in a shared bedroom. Paint the walls with a new shade of grey or blue duck egg to create a 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 adding one to your child's bedroom. This will save floor space and allows your child to keep their clothing neatly organised. Julian Bowen Cookie and Stella mid sleeper models have side drawers for storing toys, books and other small bits and pieces.
