Mid Sleeper Small Single
Standard bed frames cannot provide the same storage options as mid sleepers or cabin beds. Pull out desks can be neatly tucked away into furniture when not in use and shelves are readily available to store their growing collection.
You can also consider bunk beds for kids with shelves that have handy hooks - perfect for drinking a glass of water or a book.
Sleeping Area
The sleeping platform on a mid sleeper is elevated above the ground, and often has sides to create a secure and secure space that encourages healthy posture for sleep and spinal alignment. This helps children sleep longer, more comfortably and more peacefully. It also helps their physical and mental well-being.
The small single bed is an excellent choice for children who are transitioning from cribs to beds. It offers a comfortable space for sleeping that is comfortable and introduces elements of a adult bed that encourage independence. The elevated platform and enclosed area will also promote relaxation and a calm routine at night.
Mid sleeper cabins are designed to serve as multifunctional spaces for your child to study, play and take a nap. The raised sleeping surface allows you to place furniture like the sofa or desk underneath. It's also strong and doesn't need to be concerned about it falling. This makes a sleeper that is mid-sleeper an ideal option for kids who are beginning to show an interest in their academic and homework pursuits.
Mid-sleepers for kids can include storage built-in, giving your child more space to relax and spread out. These beds typically include drawers in the chest, a shelves that can be pulled out or a pull-out desk which can be used to store all sorts of items including books and toys. Some models, like the Julian Bowen Skye Playhouse Mid Sleeper, are designed to resemble houses or castles of knights that kids can personalize with curtains and windows for fun.
The majority of children's mid-sleepers include stairs or ladders that help them climb to the platform they sleep on. They are constructed with wide treads and guardrails that allow young children to climb. Always supervise your child whenever they use the stairs or ladder to ensure that they are following safety guidelines and not trying to climb too quickly. You can also purchase single mid sleepers which don't need a ladder or steps at all. This gives a sleeker and more compact appearance.
Mattress
A single that sleeps in the middle is a great option. The bold designs and fun features of these beds captivate the imagination of children, allowing them to drift into dreamland with ease. These beds can also be an excellent option if you're struggling to fit in drawers or wardrobe spaces, as most come with built-in storage under bed solutions. The extra space under your mattress can be used to store smaller items that will grow with your child. It could be open cabinets for totes or drawers that are neat and tidy, with a smooth, no-slip operation.
The type of mattress you pick will be based on the sleeping position of your sleeper. A mattress with a soft feel is best for front sleepers or side sleepers, whereas a more firm mattress is ideal for back and stomach sleepers. There is also a range of mattresses with additional benefits, like anti-dust mite treatments as well as cooling properties that encourage a healthy sleep. Some of these mattresses are able to accommodate pull-out desks that offer a great study area. These beds can be a lifesaver if you're struggling to clear the floor in your child's bedroom and let them continue their homework while they study.
A majority of the mattresses we offer for cabin beds that are mid-sleeper size are vacuum-packed to make the delivery easier. This reduces the size of the bed by a significant amount making it much easier to move them around your home once you arrive. This is an excellent option for those who are worried about lifting and moving such an enormous bed, particularly for those who have back or joint issues.
Some of our mid sleeper beds can be transformed into a day bed and a bunk bed using optional conversion kits that allow them to be adapted as your child grows. This is perfect for families who may 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 loft beds or a single bed that has a ladder. Additionally the Julian Bown Skye Playhouse Midsleeper is a style dream that is designed to resemble an old castle or a house 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 provide numerous storage options. They typically sit just one meter off the floor unlike high sleeper or bunk beds which are elevated very high. This leaves plenty of space under the bed for furniture and other useful features. Drawers are the most obvious option for storage under the bed. These can run the full length of the bed, be positioned at either end or be used as tables for bedside. For a neat and seamless look, search for drawers that have been designed to be a seamless fit into the divan base.
Woven drawers and baskets made from natural materials are an additional under-bed storage option worth considering. Woven fibers allow air to circulate and eliminate dampness or musty odours from keeping items in good condition and secure. A storage bag that is vacuum-packed is perfect for items that need to be stored for a longer period of time. It will remove any air and let you fit in more.
You can also choose a small cabin bed with cabinets and drawers built in. These beds will not only make the most of the space under your bed, but they also help keep everything tidy and organized. Drawer systems with smooth, no-wobble runners are a must, especially if you want to prevent them from jamming. If you choose a wood model, make sure you choose a painted finish that coordinates with the rest of your interior decor.
It's also worth searching for mid-sleeper cabin beds with desks that can be pulled out if studying is a top priority. These beds won't just give your kids a comfortable place to do their homework or to chat with friends, they will also free up space in their bedrooms. Find options that have chairs, to make the most of this useful feature.
Design
A single, mid-sleeper is great for children who like to climb, explore and discover. They're often crafted from solid hardwoods and come with ladders that meet stringent safety standards. Be sure to look for designs that include guard rails on the sides of the bed or a bunk system to prevent dangers of entrapment. Some beds may also offer a protective net over the mattress to give you peace of mind.
Most children's beds are designed for children six years or older. They are designed with vibrant colors that entice their growing imaginations. Choose a design that has shelves and a desk that can be pulled out to provide more space for play or study.
A lot of the designs we offer come with a variety of accessories such as tents, pockets organisers, and tunnels which help keep their bedrooms neat and organised. The Pino wooden mid-sleeper with curtain for example is available in 3 frame colors and 9 bed curtains. They are available in neutral to themed designs such as unicorns and princesses.
A conversion kit is also available to convert some of our loft beds or single cabins into a bunk bed or day bed. This allows your child to alter the room as their interests change. If you're thinking of a convertible single cabin bed, go for a sturdy structure that can support an adult weight limit of 80kg's.
If you're planning to introduce one mid sleeper single one to a room shared by two you should consider an uncluttered style that can be modified to suit multiple tastes. You could paint the walls with a fresh coat of grey or duck egg blue to create a backdrop that is easily changed by adding furniture and bedding in shades of purple, pink or red, or any other hue your child is fond of.
Think about a bed that has an integrated wardrobe if you're introducing one to your child's bedroom. This will help save space on the floor, and make it easier for your child's clothes to be organised. Julian Bowen Cookie and Stella mid-sleeper models have side drawers to store toys, books and other bits and pieces.
