Mid Sleeper Small Single
Standard bed frames do not offer the same storage options as mid sleepers or cabin beds. Look for options like pull out desks that can be easily tucked into the furniture when they are not in use, as well as ample shelving to accommodate their ever-growing collection of games and toys.
You can also consider bunk beds for kids with shelves that have handy hooks that are ideal for a drink of water or a book.
Sleeping Area
The sleeping platform of a mid-sleeper is elevated above the ground, usually with sides to create a safe and secure environment that promotes healthy sleep posture and spinal alignment. This allows children to sleep better, longer and more comfortably. It also helps their physical and mental health.
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 safe and cozy sleeping space, while introducing the elements of a adult bed that promote independence. The elevated platform and enclosed space also helps to promote relaxation and a peaceful routine for bedtime, helping them relax for a peaceful night's sleep.
Mid sleeper cabins are designed to serve as multifunctional spaces for your child to play, study or take a nap. The elevated sleeping surface allows you to put furniture such as a desk or sofa underneath. It's also strong and there's no need to worry 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.
Children's mid sleepers may have built-in storage that can provide your kids with more space to sprawl out and unwind. They usually come with drawers in the chest, a large shelving or a pullout desk that can hold all kinds of things, 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 children can customised with windows, curtains and twinkly lights for an extra-fun design.
Most children's mid-sleepers will come with an stairway or ladder that aids in reaching the platform that sleeps above. They are designed to be sturdy and secure, with guardrails and wide treads to make the climb easier for children who are younger. Always supervise your child while they use the stairs or ladder to ensure that they are following safety guidelines and not trying to climb too fast. You can also buy single mid sleepers which don't require ladders or steps at all. This gives a sleeker, more compact look.
Mattress
There's a lot to like about a mid-sleeper small single. Their striking designs and exciting features capture children's imagination and help them drift off to a dream more easily. These beds can also be an ideal option for those who struggle to fit in wardrobe or drawer storage spaces, as they are usually equipped with built-in under-bed storage solutions. The extra space under your mattress could be used to store smaller items that will expand with your child. It can be open cupboards for totes, or drawers that are neat and tidy, with smooth, non-slip operation.
The kind of mattress you select depends largely on your sleeper's preferred sleeping position, with a softer feel more suitable for side and front sleepers as opposed to a firmer one. You can also choose from a range of mattresses with added benefits, such as anti-dust mite treatments or cooling properties that encourage a healthy sleep. Some of these mattresses can accommodate pull-out desks that provide a perfect study space. These beds can be a lifesaver for those struggling to clear the floor in your children's room and allow them to continue their work while they study.
The majority of mattresses we sell for cabin beds for mid-sleepers are vacuum packed to make delivery easier. This reduces their size by a fraction and makes it easier to move them around your home once you arrive. This is an excellent option for those who suffer from joint or back issues and are worried about moving a bed.
Some of our mid-sleeper beds can be converted into a daybed and bunk bed by using conversion kits, allowing them to adapt as your child develops. This is a great option for families who may require a shared bedroom for a long period of time. For instance, the Kidsaw Urban Midsleeper 1 is a classic white and birch bed that converts into a loft style bunk or a traditional single bed with the ladder. The Julian Bown Skye Midsleeper an aesthetic dream that appears like a castle, can be customized with curtains, twinkling lights, or removable stickers.
Under-bed Storage
Mid-sleeper cabin beds are popular due to the fact that they offer a lot of storage options. In contrast to high sleeper and bunk beds which are raised to an extremely high level they are typically at a distance of about a metre from the floor - leaving plenty of space underneath to put furniture and other useful features. Drawers are the most obvious solution to storage underneath the bed. They can be placed at either end of the bed or along its length. Some even have space for bedside table. For a neat and seamless look, search for drawers that are designed to fit seamlessly into the divan base.
Another option for storage under the bed is woven baskets and drawers. These are made of natural materials. Woven fibers allow air to circulate and eliminate dampness and musty odors, keeping the items stored fresh and secure. A vacuum-packed storage bag is ideal for items that will be kept for a longer time. It will eliminate any air and allow you to squeeze in more.
You can also choose small cabin beds with cabinets and drawers built-in. These will not only make use of your under bed space to the fullest, but they also help keep things organized and tidy. Drawer systems with smooth no-wobble runners are a must particularly if you want to stop them from jamming. If you opt for a wooden model, choose a painted finish that coordinates with the rest of the room decor.
It's also worth looking out for cabin beds that sleep mid-sleep with desks that can be pulled out if studying is a priority. These beds will not only provide your children with a comfortable place to do their homework or chat with friends, they will also help you save space in their bedrooms. Look for options that include chairs, to make the most of this useful feature.
Design
A single mid-sleeper is a great option for kids who enjoy climbing and exploring. These mid-sleepers are often made from solid hardwoods, and come with ladders that meet the strict safety standards. Find designs that have guard rails on all sides of the upper bed or bunk systems to avoid the risk of entrapment. Some beds offer a protective mesh that covers the mattress to give you additional security.
mid sleeper bunk are designed for kids aged six years or older. They are designed with vibrant colours that appeal to their growing imaginations. Look for a design with shelves and a pull-out desk that provide more space for play or studying.
Many of the designs we have in our collection are available with a selection of accessories such as tents, tunnels, and pocket organizers that help to keep their bedrooms tidy and organised. The Pino wooden mid-sleeper that comes with a curtain, for example, is available in 3 frame colours and 9 different curtains for the bed. These vary from neutrals to themed designs such as unicorns and princesses.
A conversion kit is available separately to convert some of our loft beds or single cabins into a bunk bed or day bed. This lets your child modify the space according to their preferences. If you're considering a convertible single cabin bed, opt for a sturdy structure that can accommodate an adult weight limit of 80kg's.
If you're planning to introduce an individual mid-sleeper small one to a room shared by two you should consider a neutral design that can be adapted to accommodate a variety of preferences. You can paint the walls a new shade of grey or blue duck egg to create a backdrop for bedding or furniture which can be easily changed with a variety of colors, including purple, pink or red.
If you're introducing the single cabin bed as a bedroom for your child, consider selecting one with an integrated wardrobe. This saves space on the floor and makes it easier for your child to keep their clothing neatly organised. Julian Bowen Cookie and Stella mid-sleeper models come with side drawers for storing toys, books as well as other pieces of furniture.
