Mid Sleeper Small Single
Standard bed frames don't offer the same storage options as mid-sleepers or cabin beds. Look for options like pull out desks that can be pushed neatly into furniture when not in use and ample shelving to accommodate their ever-growing collection of toys and games.
Also consider bunk beds for children with shelves that have handy hooks - ideal for a drink of water or reading.
Sleeping Area
The platform that sleeps on for a mid-sleeper can be elevated from the ground and usually has sides to create an environment that is secure and safe that encourages good posture and spinal alignment. This allows children to sleep longer, better and more comfortably. It also helps their mental and physical health.
The mid sleeper small single bed is a great option for children who are transitioning from cribs to beds. It offers a familiar bed that is comfortable and introduces elements of a adult bed that promote independence. The elevated platform and enclosed space encourages relaxation and a calm bedtime routine, assisting them to settle down for a restful night's sleep.
Mid sleeper cabin beds are designed to provide multifunctional play, study and sleep spaces for your children. The elevated sleeping surface is ideal for placing furniture like desks or a sofa on top and the sturdy construction ensures you do not have to worry about it falling through. This makes a sleeper that is mid-sleeper an ideal choice for children who are beginning to show interest in homework and academic pursuits.
Mid-sleeper beds for children are often equipped with built-in storage that can give your children more room to sprawl out and relax. They usually come with drawers in the chest, a shelves that can be pulled out or a pull-out desk that can hold all kinds of things like 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 customised with windows, curtains and glimmering lights for an extra fun design.
Most mid sleepers for children feature ladders or stairs that allow them to climb up to the platform they sleep on. They are designed to be sturdy and safe, with guardrails as well as wide treads to make climbing easier for children who are younger. It is always an excellent idea to watch your child when they're using the stairs or ladder to ensure that they follow the safety guidelines and aren't attempting to climb too high too fast! You can also find single mid sleepers that don't require ladders or any stairs at all, to give a more sleek and compact look.
Mattress
A single with a mid-sleep position is a good choice. Their vibrant designs and engaging 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 drawers or wardrobe spaces, as they are usually equipped with built-in under-bed storage solutions. If it's open cabinets ready to be filled with bags or neat and tidy drawers that have smooth, non-wobble operation, the extra space beneath the mattress can be ideal for a low-level storage system that will grow with your child's.
The type of mattress you select will depend on the position of your sleeper. A mattress that is soft is better for front or side sleepers, whereas a more firm mattress is better for stomach and back sleepers. There are mattresses that offer additional advantages such as anti-dustmite treatment and cooling features to promote healthy sleep. Some of these mattresses can include pull-out desks, which make a great study space. These beds can be a lifesaver if you're struggling to clear the floor in your child's room and let them continue their homework while they study.
A lot of the mattresses we offer for mid-sleeper cabin beds can be vacuum-packed to make it easier to transport them which reduces their size to just a fraction of their original size, allowing for simpler manoeuvre around your home when you arrive.

Some of our mid sleeper beds can be converted to a day bed or bunk bed with the help of conversion kits, allowing them to adapt as your child grows. This is perfect for families who might require a bedroom for a prolonged 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 standard single bed with an incline. Additionally, the Julian Bown Skye Playhouse Midsleeper is a style dream made to look like the appearance of a castle or home and can be adorned with an individual touch by adding curtains and twinkly lights, or removable stickers.
Under-bed Storage
One of the main benefits of mid sleeper cabin beds is that they offer plenty of clever storage options. They are usually one metre off the floor unlike high sleeper or bunk beds which are elevated to a high level. This gives plenty of room underneath for furniture and other useful features. The most obvious under bed storage solution is drawers. They can extend the full length of the bed, and be positioned at either end or even incorporate a space for bedside tables. Be sure to look for drawers that are able to fit into the divan base to give a clean and seamless finish.
Another option for under-bed storage is woven baskets and drawers. These are made of natural materials. Woven fibres allow air to circulate and eliminate dampness or musty odours from keeping items in good condition and safe. For items that will be stowed away for longer periods in a storage bag is an ideal option since it removes all the air, allowing you to fit more into your space.
You can also choose a stylish, purpose-designed small single cabin bed that has built-in cabinets and drawers. These will not only utilize your space under the bed to the maximum, but they'll also 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, opt for an aesthetically pleasing finish that blends with the rest of your room decor.
It's also worth looking for cabin beds that sleep mid-sleep with pull-out desks if study is your top priority. They'll not only provide your children a comfy space to study or have a chat with their friends, but they'll also make the most of the space in their bedroom, too. Pick a set that has chairs to get the most out of this feature.
Design
A single mid-sleeper is perfect for kids who love to climb, explore and discover. These mid-sleepers are often made of solid hardwoods and are equipped with ladders which meet the strict safety standards. Find designs that have guard rails on both sides of the upper bed or use a bunk system to prevent the risk of entrapment. Some beds will also include a net of protection over the mattress to provide peace of mind.
Most children's cabin beds are designed for six-year olds and above. They feature bright colors that appeal to their naiveté. If you prefer, choose an option that has shelving and a pull out desk that can be used to study or play.
Many of our designs include accessories like tunnels, tents, and pockets organizers to keep the bedroom tidy and organized. For instance, the Pino wooden mid sleeper with curtain is available in three frame colors and 9 different under bed curtains that range from simple neutrals to themed designs such as princesses and unicorns.
A conversion kit is available to convert some of our loft beds or single cabins into a bunk bed or day bed. This lets your child adapt the space depending on their needs. If you're considering a convertible single cabin bed, opt for a sturdy structure that can support a maximum weight for adults of 80kg's.
If you're considering introducing a single mid sleeper small single to a shared room think about a neutral style that can be altered to accommodate different tastes. You can paint the walls with a new shade of grey or blue duck egg to create a backdrop for bedding and furniture that can be easily styled with a variety of colors, including purple, pink or red.
If you're planning to add a single cabin bed to a bedroom for your child, think about selecting one with an integrated wardrobe built in. This will save floor space, and will make it easier for your child's clothes to be organised. Julian Bowen Cookie and Stella mid sleeper models have side drawers for storing toys, books and other bits and pieces.
