Mid Sleeper Small Single
Mid-sleepers for children and cabin beds offer versatile storage options that standard bed frames simply can't. Look for options like pull out desks that can be pushed neatly into furniture when not in use, and plenty of shelving to accommodate their ever-growing assortment of toys and games.
Also think about children's cabin beds with hooks for shelves that are perfect to read or pour a glass of water.
Sleeping Area
The sleeping platform of the mid-sleeper is elevated from the ground, and usually has sides to create a secure and safe environment that encourages a healthy sleep posture and spinal alignment. This assists children to sleep longer, better and more comfortably - all of which contribute to their mental and physical health and wellbeing.
mid sleeper bunk beds , mid-sleeper bed is an excellent choice for children who are transitioning from cribs to beds. It provides a familiar space for sleeping that is comfortable and introduces the elements of an adult bed that promote independence. The elevated platform and enclosed space also encourage the relaxation and a tranquil nighttime routine.
Mid sleeper cabins are designed to be multi-purpose spaces for children to play, study or rest. The raised sleeping surface is ideal for putting furniture like desks or a sofa on top and the sturdy construction ensures you aren't worried about it slipping. A mid sleeper is a great option for children who have started to take an interest in academic pursuits as well as homework.
Children's mid sleepers are often equipped with built-in storage that can give your children more room to spread out and relax. 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. Some models, like the Julian Bowen Skye Playhouse mid sleeper - have been designed to resemble a home or knight's fort, which kids can customised with curtains, windows and twinkly lights to give an extra fun touch.
Most mid sleepers for children include stairs or ladders that allow them to climb up to the sleeping platform above. They are designed to be strong and safe, with guardrails and wide treads to make the climb easier for children who are younger. Always supervise your child whenever they are using the stairs or ladder to ensure they are following safety guidelines and are not trying to climb too quickly. There are also single mid sleepers which don't require ladders or steps at all. This will give a more sleek, more compact look.
Mattress
A single with a mid-sleep position is a fantastic choice. The vibrant designs and fun features of these beds captivate the imagination of children, allowing them to drift off into a dream with ease. A majority of these beds have built-in storage under the mattress, which is a great option when you're struggling to find space for a wardrobe or drawers. The extra space under your mattress could be used to store low-level items that will grow with your child. It could be open cupboards for totes or drawers that are tidy and neat with a smooth, no-slip operation.
The kind of mattress you select depends largely on your sleeper's preferred sleeping position and comfort level. A mattress with a soft feel is more suitable for side and front sleepers than a more firm one. There are also mattresses that offer additional advantages like anti-dustmite treatments and cooling qualities to ensure a healthy and restful sleep. Some of these mattresses can include pull-out desks, which make a great study space. They can be lifesavers when you are trying to tidy the room's floor and still let them do their homework.
Many of the mattresses we sell for cabin beds for mid-sleepers are vacuum-packed to make delivery easy. This reduces their size by a small amount, making it easier to move around your home when you arrive. This is a great choice for those who are worried about lifting and moving a large bed, especially for those who have joint or back problems.
With the help of conversion kits, a few of our beds for mid-sleepers can be converted into a daybed and a bunkbed. This lets them expand with your child. This is perfect for families who might need to use an entire bedroom for a lengthy period of time. The Kidsaw Urban Midsleeper 1 for instance is a classic white and birch bed that converts into an loft-style bed or a single bed with 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
One of the main benefits of mid sleeper cabin beds is that they offer many clever storage options. They typically sit just a few centimeters off the ground, unlike high sleeper or bunk beds that are raised to a high level. This leaves plenty of room underneath for furniture and other useful features. Drawers are the best solution to storage underneath the bed. They can be positioned at either end of the bed or along its length. Some even have space for a bedside table. Look out for drawers that fit seamlessly into the divan base to give a clean and seamless look.
Another option for under-bed storage is woven drawers and baskets. They are made from natural materials. Woven fibres allow air to circulate and prevent dampness or musty odours from keeping the items stored fresh and secure. If items are to be stowed away for longer periods and require a vacuum-packed storage bag is an ideal option since it removes all the air and allow you to fit more space.
You could also opt for a sleek, purpose-built single cabin bed that has built-in cabinets and drawers. These will not only make use of your space under the bed to the max, they'll also keep things neat and tidy. Drawer systems that have smooth, no-wobble runners are a must especially if you want to keep them from getting jammed. If you opt for a wooden model for your home, choose an attractive finish that matches the style of the room.
If you are a student then you should consider middle-sleeper cabins with desks that can be pulled out. These beds will not only give your kids a comfortable place to work or chat with their friends, but they'll also help you save space in their bedrooms. Pick a set that has chairs to get the most out of this feature.
Design
A single bed is ideal for children who are prone to climbing, exploring and discover. They are typically constructed of solid hardwoods and are equipped with ladders that comply with the strict safety standards. You can prevent entrapment by choosing beds that have guard rails that are placed on the sides of the bed. Some beds also have a protective net over the upper mattress for added security.
Most children's cabin beds are designed for six year olds or above and feature bright colors that appeal to their naiveté. Alternatively, look for a design that features shelving and a pull out desk to give you more space for study or play.
A lot of the designs we have in our collection are available with a range of accessories such as tents, tunnels, and pocket organizers which help keep their bedroom tidy and organised. The Pino wooden mid-sleeper that comes with a curtain for example, is available in 3 frame colours and 9 different bed curtains. These are available in neutral to themed designs like unicorns and princesses.
A conversion kit is available to transform some of our loft beds or single cabins into a bunk bed or day bed. This allows your child the flexibility to change their space according to their changing interests. If you are thinking of 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.
Think about a neutral design to accommodate multiple tastes when introducing a mid-sleeper small single in a shared bedroom. You can paint the walls a fresh shade of grey or a duck-egg blue to create a backdrop for bedding and furniture which can be easily changed with a variety of colors, including purple, pink or red.

You should consider a cabin bed with an integrated wardrobe if you're planning to introduce one into your child's bedroom. This will save space on the floor and makes it easier for your child to keep their clothes neatly organised. Our Julian Bowen Stella and Cookie mid sleeper models come with side drawers that have plenty of storage space for books, toys and other bits and bobs.
