Mid Sleeper Small Single
Standard bed frames don't offer the same storage options as mid sleepers or cabin beds. Desks with pull-outs can be easily tucked into furniture when not in use and shelves are also available to store their ever-growing collection.
Also consider bunk beds for children with shelves that are equipped with hooks - perfect for a drink of water or a book.
Sleeping mid sleeper with desk for sleeping of a mid-sleeper can be elevated from the ground and usually includes sides to create an environment of safety and security that encourages a healthy sleep posture and spinal alignment. This helps children sleep longer, better and more comfortably. It also contributes to their physical and mental health.
A mid sleeper small single is also a great choice for kids who are making the transition from crib to bed as it provides a familiar and comforting sleeping area while introducing elements of a grown-up bed that encourage independence. The elevated platform and enclosed space also encourage relaxation and a calm routine at night.
Mid sleeper cabin beds are designed to be multi-purpose play, study and sleeping areas for your children. The elevated sleeping surface allows you to place furniture such as a desk or sofa underneath. It is also sturdy, so there's no need to worry about falling. A mid sleeper is a great choice for children who have started to take an enthusiasm for academic pursuits and homework.
Mid-sized beds for children may have built-in storage, giving your child more room to spread out and relax. These beds often include the option of a pull-out desk, chest of storage drawers or extensive shelving to accommodate toys and books. Certain models, such as the Julian Bowen Skye Playhouse Mid Sleeper, are made to look like homes or castles of knights that kids can personalize with curtains and windows for an exciting touch.
The majority of children's mid-sleepers have stairs or ladders that aid in climbing to the platform that is above their bed. These are designed with wide treads and guardrails that make it easier for young children to climb. Always supervise your child whenever they use the stairs or ladder to ensure that they are following safety guidelines and are not trying to climb too fast. You can also buy single mid sleepers which do not require a ladder or steps at all. This creates a sleeker smaller, more compact appearance.
Mattress
A single with a mid-sleep position is a great choice. The striking designs and exciting features of these beds captivate the imagination of children and let them drift off into a dream with ease. They are also an excellent option if you're struggling to fit in drawers or wardrobe spaces, since most come with built-in under-bed storage solutions. Whether it's open cupboards ready to be filled with bags or neat and tidy drawers that have smooth, non-wobble operation, the extra space under the mattress can be ideal for adaptable low-level storage that can grow with your child.
The kind of mattress you pick depends largely on your preference for your sleep position that is softer, ideal for people who sleep on their sides and in front than a more firm one. You can also find various mattresses that offer additional benefits, like anti-dust mite treatments or cooling properties that help to ensure a healthy sleep. Some of these beds can accommodate pull-out desks that provide a perfect study space. They can be a lifesaver when you're trying to clean up the carpet in your child's bedroom and still allow them to do their homework.
A lot of the mattresses we offer for mid-sleeper cabin beds can be packed with vacuum to make it easier to transport them which reduces their size to only a fraction of their original size, allowing for simpler manoeuvre around your home upon arrival. This is a great option for people who have joint or back issues and are worried about moving a large bed.
Some of our mid sleeper beds can be transformed into a day bed and bunk bed with the help of conversion kits that allow them to be adapted as your child grows. This is ideal for families who may require a shared bedroom for a prolonged period of time. The Kidsaw Urban Midsleeper 1 for instance is a classic white and birch bed which converts to a loft style bed or a single bed with ladder. Additionally, the Julian Bown Skye Playhouse Midsleeper is a design dream that is designed to resemble a castle or house and can be adorned with personal touches with curtains and twinkly lights, or removable stickers.
Under-bed Storage
Mid-sleeper cabin beds are very popular as they offer a lot of clever storage options. In contrast to high sleeper and bunk beds which are raised very high they are typically just a few centimetres from the floor, leaving plenty of space underneath to add furniture and other features. The most obvious under-bed storage solution is a set of drawers. They can be put at either end of the bed or along its length. Some even have room to make a table for the bed. Find drawers that are able to fit into the divan base to give a neat and seamless look.
Another option for storage under beds is woven baskets and drawers. They are made from natural materials. Woven fibers circulate air and eliminate dampness and musty odors. This keeps stored 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 the air, allowing you to fit more in your space.
You could also opt for an attractive, purpose-built small single cabin bed with built-in drawers and cabinets. These will not only utilize the space under your bed to the max, they also help keep things organized and tidy. Drawer systems with smooth, no-wobble runners are essential, especially if you want to prevent them from jamming. If you opt for a wooden model for your home, opt for an oiled finish that is in line with the style of the room.
If you value studying, it's worth looking for mid-sleeper cabin beds that have pull out desks. These beds will not only provide your children with a comfortable place to do their homework or spend time chatting with friends, they will also save you space in their bedrooms. Consider options that include chairs to make the most of this practical feature.
Design
A single bed is a great choice for children who love to climb and explore. They are typically constructed from solid hardwoods and come with ladders that meet strict safety standards. You can prevent the risk of entrapment by selecting beds that have guard rails on the sides of the upper mattress. Some beds will also include an extra net to protect the mattress to give you peace of mind.
The majority of cabin beds for children are aimed at six year olds and above. They feature bold colourways that appeal to their developing imaginations. Choose a design that has shelves and a pull-out desk to provide more space for studying or playing.
Many of our designs include accessories like tunnels, tents and pocket organizers that help keep the bedroom neat and organised. For instance, the Pino wooden mid sleeper with curtain is available in three frame colors and nine different under bed curtains, ranging from basic neutrals to themes like princesses and unicorns.
Similar to that, a few of our single cabin or loft beds can be transformed into bunk beds or a day bed by using an optional conversion kit (sold separately). This lets your child adapt the space as their interests change. If you're thinking of a convertible single cabin bed, go for a sturdy structure that can support a maximum weight for adults of 80kg's.
Think about a neutral design to accommodate multiple tastes when introducing a mid-sleeper small single into a shared bedroom. You can paint the walls with fresh grey or duck egg blue to create a backdrop that can be easily transformed with bedding and furniture in shades of purple, pink or red, or any other hue your child is fond of.
If you're planning to add a single cabin bed to a bedroom for your child, consider selecting one with an integrated wardrobe. This will save the floor space 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 to store books, toys and other small bits and pieces.
