Mid Sleeper Small Single
Standard bed frames cannot provide the same storage options as mid-sleepers or cabin beds. Desks that can be pulled out can be easily tucked into furniture when not in usage and shelves are also available to store their ever-growing collections.
Also consider bunk beds for children with shelves that have handy hooks that are ideal to drink a glass of water or a book.
Sleeping Area
The platform that sleeps on for a mid-sleeper is elevated from the ground, and usually has sides to create an environment that is secure and safe that encourages a healthy sleep posture and spinal alignment. This allows children to sleep better, longer and more peacefully. It also improves their mental and physical health.
A small single bed that is mid-sleeper is also a good option for children making the transition from crib to bed, because it offers a comfortable and comforting sleeping area while introducing elements of a grown-up bed that encourages independence. The elevated platform and enclosed space can also help to promote the relaxation and a tranquil nighttime routine.
Mid sleeper cabins are designed to serve as multi-purpose spaces for children to play, study and take a nap. The raised bed surface lets you to put furniture like an office or a sofa under. It is also sturdy and doesn't need to worry about falling. A mid sleeper is a great choice for children who have begun to demonstrate interest in academic pursuits and homework.
Children's mid-sleepers can come with built-in storage, which can provide your kids with more space to sprawl out and relax. They usually come with drawers in the chest, a pullout desk or extensive shelving 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 look like a house or knight's fort that kids can customize with curtains, windows and twinkly lights for an extra fun touch.
Most children's mid-sleepers will have a ladder or stairway that helps them reach the platform that sleeps above. They're designed with wide treads and guardrails that make it easier for young children to climb. It's always an excellent idea to watch your child when they're using the stairs or ladder to ensure that they follow safety guidelines and don't try to get up too high too fast! 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 compact single. Their striking designs and exciting features entice children's imagination, helping them to drift off to dreamland more quickly. Most of these beds have built-in storage underneath the mattress, which is a great choice when you're 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 with smooth, no-wobble operation, the extra space beneath the mattress could be perfect for a low-level storage system that can expand with your child's.
The type of mattress you select will depend on the position of your sleeper. A mattress with a soft feel is best for side or front sleepers, whereas a firmer mattress is ideal for stomach and back sleepers. There are also mattresses that offer additional benefits such as anti-dustmite treatments and cooling qualities to ensure a healthy and restful sleep. Some of these mattresses can accommodate pull-out desks that offer a great study area. They can be lifesavers when you're trying to tidy the room's floor and still allow them to complete their homework.
Many of the mattresses we offer for mid-sleeper cabin beds can be vacuum packed to make delivery easier and reduces their size to just a fraction of their original size for easier maneuvering around your home after arriving. This is an excellent option for those with back or joint problems and are concerned about moving a large bed.
Some of our mid-sleeper beds can be made into a day bed and bunk bed by using conversion kits that allow them to be adapted as your child develops. This is ideal for families that might need to use an entire bedroom for a lengthy period of time. For instance the Kidsaw Urban Midsleeper 1 is an iconic white and birch bed that converts into a loft-style bunk or a traditional single bed with a ladder. The Julian Bown Skye Midsleeper a design dream that looks like a castle, can be customized with curtains, twinkling lights or removable stickers.
Under-bed Storage
Mid-sleeper cabin beds are popular because they provide a variety of clever storage options. They are typically one metre off the floor, unlike high sleeper or bunk beds that are raised extremely high. This gives plenty of space underneath for furniture and other useful features. Drawers are the best solution to storage underneath the bed. They can be put on either side of the bed or along the length. Some even have room for a bedside table. Look out for drawers that fit seamlessly into a divan base, to give a clean and seamless look.
Another option for under-bed storage is woven baskets and drawers. They are made from natural materials. Woven fibers allow air to circulate and avoid dampness or musty odours from keeping items in good condition and secure. A vacuum-packed storage bag is perfect for items that need to be stored away for a longer period of time. It will remove any air and allow you to fit in more.
You could also opt for a sleek, purpose-built single cabin bed that has built-in drawers and cabinets. They will not only use your under bed space to the max, they'll also keep things organized and tidy. Drawer systems that have smooth, no-wobble runners are a must, particularly if you want to stop them from jamming. If you opt for a wooden model, choose an aesthetically pleasing finish that blends with the rest of the interior decor.
It's also worth looking out for mid sleeper cabin beds with desks that pull out if studying is a priority. These beds will not only provide your children with a comfortable space to study or to chat with their friends, but they'll also free up space in their bedrooms. Choose options that come with chairs to make the most of this feature.
Design
A single mid-sleeper is perfect for kids who are prone to climbing, exploring and discover. They are typically constructed from solid hardwoods, and they come with ladders that meet the strict safety standards. You can prevent from entrapment by choosing beds which have guard rails that are placed on the sides of the upper bed. Some beds also have a protective net over the mattress to give you peace of mind.
The majority of children's beds are designed for kids aged six years or older. They are designed with bright colors that appeal to their growing imaginations. If you prefer, choose an option that has shelving and a pull out desk to give you more space to study or play.
A lot of our designs come with accessories such as tunnels, tents and pocket organizers that help keep the bedroom tidy and well-organized. For example, the Pino mid-sleeper made of wood with curtain is available in three frame colours and 9 different bed curtains ranging from simple neutrals to themed designs like princesses and unicorns.
Similar to that, a few of our single cabins or loft beds can be transformed into bunk beds or a day bed with the help of an optional conversion kit (sold separately). This lets your child alter the room depending on their needs. If you're considering a convertible single cabin bed, go for a sturdy design that can support an adult weight limit of 80kg's.
Consider mid bunk bed to accommodate multiple tastes when introducing a mid-sleeper small single into a bedroom shared by two. Paint the walls a new shade of grey or blue duck egg to create a backdrop for bedding and furniture that can be easily restyled in pink, purple or red.
Consider choosing a bed that has an integrated wardrobe if you are introducing one to your child's bedroom. This will help save the floor space and will make it easier for your child's clothing to be organised. Julian Bowen Cookie and Stella mid-sleeper models have side drawers to store books, toys as well as other pieces of furniture.
