Mid Sleeper Beds For Kids
Whether your child is too big to fit in a bunk bed or simply looking to maximize their bedroom space a mid sleeper is the perfect solution. The beds that can be used for kids are a parent's dream. They come with desks and storage.
All ages can benefit from mattresses that are lower than the frame, meaning that children are unable to roll out of the bed during sleep.
Height
A mid sleeper is a kids bed that is a bit lower than a high sleeper. The beds feature a raised sleeping surface, with a space below that could be used as a desk, storage or a play area. These beds are ideal for rooms with small spaces since they offer the same amount of space for sleeping as bunk beds while taking less space. They are also great for kids who want to share a room with a sibling or a friend, as the bed can easily accommodate two mattresses.
The height of the mid-sleeper can vary based on the design. However, they are typically between 110cm and 140cm high. This is similar to the height of the standard bed frame. The majority of our mid sleepers require a single mattress, however some models may be suitable for a double or even a triple mattress so make sure to read the specifications of the product prior to purchasing.
Safety is always the top priority when it comes to the height of the cabin bed. Our selection of kids' mid-sleepers are made with safety in mind. The staircases on our models have been constructed with safety in mind. They have wide steps, which make them easier to navigate and reduce the risk for accidents. In addition, the rails that secure the top of the sleeping space are higher than the rails on a standard bunk bed to keep your child from rolling out during the night.
We suggest that children only use their mid sleeper for sleeping and not to play or hang off the ladder, as this can increase the risk of falling and injury. We also suggest against using a mid sleeper for children under the age of six, as they may have difficulty climbing up and down the stairs safely.
Space
Mid sleepers (sometimes called cabin beds) sit high enough off the ground that they can accommodate furniture to be placed underneath, turning bedrooms into multi-purpose study, play and sleep zones. These beds are perfect for kids whose rooms don't have the space needed to accommodate furniture. They're made to be strong and robust.
The mid-sleeper bed is often equipped with a ladder, or stairs that allow children to climb into the sleeping space. This is a lot easier than having to climb or jump into a bunk bed or high sleeper. This makes them more accessible for children who are younger to use and promotes independence when getting ready for bed. It is essential to ensure that the ladder or stairs have guard rails that are in compliance with safety standards and are used in a way that does not pose a risk of injury.
One of the greatest advantages of a mid-sleeper is that it's typically equipped with plenty of storage space. In addition to the obvious area under the mattress, many models feature a stair-like drawer or cubby holes that can be used for books, toys and trinkets. These features are very popular with parents as they assist in declutter the child's room and create an organised space that provides plenty of room for children to play.
Another benefit of mid-sleeper beds is that they can be used as an office or desk. This is a great option to help children with their homework and projects however it also provides an excellent opportunity to model good study habits and highlight the importance of a dedicated workspace. Most models will include a pull-out desk that can be easily hidden away when not being used and is especially beneficial in smaller bedrooms where space optimization is crucial.
If your child is gifted with imagination, then they'll appreciate the idea of having an extra bed that can double as a cozy den or princess castle. Skye Playhouse Mid-sleeper is a perfect example of this. It has been designed to resemble a home complete with a windows and roof. Kids can decorate the exterior of the Skye Playhouse with curtains or even glimmering lights to add a fun accent.
Style
For children aged six and above (sometimes called a cabin bed) a mid sleeper offers an efficient combination of sleeping and storage space. Often lower to the ground than a high sleeper, and with stairs or a ladder to the top, this type of kids bed is a real space saver and works well as a play or study space. Some models include a movable desk or shelves that can be added to the bed making them ideal for a night-time workstation for children.
Mid sleepers are available in various styles to fit the style and style of your child's bedroom. Some have the look of bunk beds, with a fun curving side, and others have an enclosed design with feature doors that give them a chic modern look. Some are painted in pastel shades that can be a perfect match for a girl's bedroom whilst others have a more pared back shaker design that is suitable for a boy's space.
Some of our mid-sleepers come with desks that can be pulled out, as well as additional storage to make the most of their space. Our Trasman Girona Mid Sleeper Cabin Bed is a great example of this; it has a large desk that can be pushed out and back in the way when not in use and comes with a large number of drawers, bookshelves and other compartments too.
A lot of our beds for mid-sleepers have a large cavity under them that can be used to create an area to store rolls mats or a camp bed for an extra friend who is visiting for a sleepover. This will be a big success with any child who enjoys inviting friends over to spend the night!
A large portion of our mid sleeper beds come with or without a slide. This is an amazing extra that transforms their bed an area for play and stimulates their imagination before the time of their bed. You can also use the hideaway to play games or go on adventures throughout the daytime. If you decide to purchase one with a slide, make sure that it has a sturdy, safe staircase with wide treads to make it easy to climb. It must also be secured in place to avoid any accidents.
Price

A bed for a mid-sleeper could be smaller in height than a high sleeper or bunk beds. This makes it more comfortable for children of all ages to get into. This makes them a suitable choice for children of the age of six and up. They are designed to be safer for children than the conventional bunk bed and loft.

Contrary to the messy look of a bunk bed or loft bed, mid-sleeper designs often have more of a minimalist style that can be matched with any interior decor. This means that they can continue to look stylish as your child grows into a teenager, even if their preferences change. The VonHaus pine mid-sleeper, for example, has an edgy design and white tones that are neutral enough to fit in with any bedroom decor.
A lot of mid-sleeper models come with desks that can be taken away when not in use. This is great for studying or homework.
