Mid Sleeper Small Single
Standard bed frames do not offer the same storage options as mid sleepers or cabin beds. Consider options like desks that pull out that can be easily tucked into the furniture when not in use, and plenty of shelving to accommodate their ever-growing collection of toys and games.
Also, think about cabin beds for children with hooks for shelves - perfect to read or pour a glass of water.
Sleeping Area
The platform for sleeping on a mid sleeper is elevated from the ground, usually with sides to create a secure and secure environment that promotes good posture for sleep and spinal alignment. This helps children sleep longer, longer and more soundly - all contributing to their mental and physical health and well-being.
The small single bed is a fantastic option for children who are transitioning from cribs to beds. It provides a familiar bed that is comfortable and introduces elements of a adult bed that promote independence. The elevated platform and enclosed space also encourage relaxation and a calm nighttime routine.
Mid sleeper cabin beds are designed to be multi-purpose play, study and sleeping areas for your children. The raised sleeping surface is ideal for putting furniture like desks or a sofa on top and the solid construction means you don't have to worry about it falling over. A mid-sleeper is a great choice for kids who have begun to show interest in academic pursuits and homework.
Mid-sleepers for children can have built-in storage, giving your child more space to relax and spread out. These beds typically include a chest of drawers, pullout desk or extensive shelving that can hold all kinds of things like books and toys. Certain models, such as the Julian Bowen Skye Playhouse mid sleeper - are even designed to resemble a home or knight's fort, which kids can customised with curtains, windows and twinkly lights for an extra playful design.
Most mid-sleepers for children will have an stairway or ladder that allows them to reach the sleeping platform above. They're designed with wide treads and guardrails that make it easier for small children to climb. It is important to supervise your child whenever they are using the stairs or ladder to ensure they're adhering to safety guidelines and not trying to climb too quickly. You can also purchase single mid-sleepers that don't require ladders or steps at all. This gives a sleeker smaller, more compact appearance.
Mattress
A single that sleeps in the middle is a good choice. The bold designs and fun features of these beds captivate the imagination of children and allow them to relax in a dreamlike state. l shaped mid sleeper bunk beds are also an excellent option if you're struggling to fit in wardrobe or drawer storage spaces, since most come with built-in under bed storage solutions. The extra space beneath your mattress can be used to store smaller items that will expand with your child. It could be open cupboards for totes or drawers that are neat and tidy, with a smooth, no-slip operation.
The type of mattress you choose depends largely on your preference for your sleep position and comfort level. A mattress with a soft feel is ideal for front and side sleepers than a more firm one. There are mattresses with additional advantages like anti-dustmite treatments as well as cooling properties to ensure a healthy and restful sleep. Some of these beds can be equipped with pull-out desks that are ideal for studying. These can be a real lifesaver for those trying to get the floor cleared in your child's bedroom and let them do their homework while they study.
The majority of mattresses we offer for mid-sleeper cabin beds are vacuum packed to make delivery easy. This reduces their size by a fraction, making it easier to move them around your home once you arrive. This is a great option for people who have back or joint problems and are worried about moving a large bed.
Some of our mid-sleeper beds can be transformed into a daybed and bunk bed by using conversion kits, allowing them to adapt as your child develops. This is ideal for families who might need to use a bedroom for a prolonged period of time. The Kidsaw Urban Midsleeper 1 for example, is a classic white-and-birch bed that converts into a loft style bed or a single bed with a ladder. The Julian Bown Skye Midsleeper, a design dream that looks like the castle, is customized with curtains, twinkling lights or removable stickers.
Under-bed Storage
One of the major benefits of mid-sleeper cabin beds is that they provide many clever storage options. They are typically just a few centimeters off the ground in contrast to high sleeper bunk beds that are extremely high. This gives plenty of space underneath for furniture and other useful features. The most obvious under bed storage solution is drawers. These can run the full length of the bed, be placed at either end, or incorporate a space for tables for bedside. For a sleek and seamless look, search for drawers that are designed to fit seamlessly into the divan base.
Woven baskets and drawers constructed of natural materials are a different under-bed storage option worth looking into. Woven fibers circulate air and eliminate dampness and musty odors. They keep the items fresh and secure. For items that will be stored for longer durations and require a vacuum-packed storage bag is the best choice as it will remove all air and allow you to fit more space.
You could also consider a sleek, purpose-built single cabin bed with built-in cabinets and drawers. These will not only utilize your space under the bed to the maximum, but they also help keep things organized and tidy. Drawer systems that feature smooth, no-wobble runners will help you avoid jamming. If you choose a wood model, choose an attractive painted finish that is in sync with the rest of your interior decor.
If studying is important to you it's worth considering mid-sleeper cabin beds with desks that can be pulled out. These beds won't just provide your kids with a comfy place to work or to chat with their friends, but they'll also free up space in their bedrooms. Consider options that include chairs to make the most of this functional feature.
Design
A single, mid-sleeper is great for children who are prone to climbing, exploring and discover. These mid-sleepers are often made of solid hardwoods, and come with ladders that comply with strict safety standards. Be sure to look for designs that include guard rails on all sides of the upper bed or bunk beds to avoid the risk of entrapment. Some beds also have a protective net over the mattress to give you security.
The majority of cabin beds for children are aimed at six year olds and above. They feature bold colourways that appeal to their naiveté. Alternatively, look for designs that have shelves and a pull-out desk to provide extra space for study or play.
Many of the designs in our range come with a variety of accessories such as tents, tunnels, and pocket organizers that can help keep their bedroom tidy and organized. For example the Pino mid-sleeper made of wood with curtain is available in three frame colours and 9 different under bed curtains, ranging from basic neutrals to themes such as princesses and unicorns.
A conversion kit is available separately to transform some of our loft beds or single cabins into a bunk bed or day bed. This allows your child to modify the space as their interests change. If you are considering a single cabin bed that can be converted, choose a sturdy construction capable of supporting adults with a weight limit of up to 80kg.
If you're planning to introduce one mid sleeper single single to a shared room think about a neutral style that can be adapted to accommodate a variety of preferences. Paint the walls with fresh grey or duck egg blue to create a backdrop that can be easily transformed with furniture and bedding in pink, purple or red, or whatever shade your child loves.
If you're planning to add the single cabin bed as a bedroom for your child, consider opting for one that has an integrated wardrobe. This saves the floor space and makes it easier for your child to keep their clothing neatly organized. Julian Bowen Cookie and Stella mid-sleeper models come with side drawers for storing toys, books and other bits and pieces.
