Mid Sleeper Small Single
Standard bed frames do not offer the same storage options as mid sleepers or cabin beds. Consider options such as desks that pull out that can be easily tucked into the furniture when not in use and ample shelves to accommodate their ever-growing assortment of toys and games.
You can also consider bunk beds for kids with shelves that are equipped with hooks - ideal for a drink of water or a book.
Sleeping Area
The sleeping platform on the mid-sleeper is elevated above the ground, often with sides to create a secure and secure environment that promotes healthy sleep posture and spinal alignment. This helps children sleep longer, more comfortably and more peacefully. It also contributes to their mental and physical health.
A mid sleeper small single is also a good option for children making the transition from crib to bed as it provides a safe and cozy sleeping space, while introducing elements of a grown-up bed that encourage independence. The elevated platform and enclosed space also helps to promote relaxation and a peaceful bedtime routine, helping them relax for a peaceful night's rest.
Mid-sleeper cabin beds are designed to be multifunctional play, study and sleeping areas for your children. The raised sleeping surface is ideal for putting furniture like a sofa or desk underneath and the solid construction means you do not have to worry about it slipping. A mid-sleeper is a great choice for kids who have begun to take an interest in academic pursuits and homework.
Mid-sleepers for kids can come with storage built-in which gives your child more space to unwind and spread out. These beds usually include an armoire, large shelving or a pullout desk which can be used to store all sorts of things like books and toys. Some models, like the Julian Bowen Skye Playhouse mid sleeper - are even designed to resemble a home or knight's fort that kids can customised with curtains, windows and twinkly lights to give an extra playful design.
Most children's mid sleepers will feature ladders or stairs that aid in climbing to the sleeping platform above. They're designed with wide treads and guardrails that make it easier for young children to climb. You should always supervise your child whenever they are using the ladder or stairs to ensure they are adhering to safety guidelines and not trying to climb too quickly. There are also single mid sleepers which do not require a ladder or steps at all. This gives a sleeker and more compact appearance.
Mattress
A single that sleeps in the middle is a fantastic choice. Their striking designs and exciting features draw children's attention and allow them to drift off to a dream more quickly. These beds can also be an ideal option for those who struggle to fit in wardrobe or drawer storage spaces, since most come with built-in under bed storage solutions. The extra space under your mattress could be used to store smaller objects that will grow with your child. It can 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 position of your sleeper. A mattress with a soft feel is better for front or side sleepers, whereas a more firm mattress is better for back and stomach sleepers. There are also mattresses that offer additional advantages such as anti-dustmite treatments and cooling qualities to help promote a healthy sleep. Some of these beds are able to accommodate pull-out desks that offer a great study area. They can be a lifesaver for those trying to clean the floor in your child's room and allow them to continue their homework at the same time.
A lot of the mattresses we sell for mid sleeper cabin beds can be vacuum packed to make delivery easier, which reduces their size to a fraction of their original size, allowing for easier maneuvering around your home after arriving. This is an excellent option for those who are worried about lifting and moving an enormous bed, particularly for those with joint or back problems.

Alternatively you can choose the Julian Bown Skye Playhouse Midsleeper is a design dream built to look like a castle or house and can be adorned with an individual touch by adding curtains and twinkly lights as well as 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 one metre 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 solution to storage underneath the bed. They can span the entire length of the bed, be positioned at either end or incorporate a space for tables to sit on at night. For a neat smooth finish, opt for drawers designed to fit seamlessly into the divan base.
Woven baskets and drawers constructed of natural materials are a different under bed storage option worth considering. Woven fibers allow air to circulate and prevent dampness or musty odours, keeping the items stored fresh and secure. A vacuum-packed storage bag is ideal for items that need to be kept for a longer period of time. It will take out any air and let you fit in more.
You could also consider 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 a must particularly if you wish to prevent them from jamming. If you opt for a wooden model for your home, opt for a painted finish to match the style of the room.
If you value studying it's worth considering mid-sleeper cabin beds that have desks that can be pulled out. They'll not only provide your children a comfy space to study or spend time with family, but they'll help you save some space in your bedroom as well. Pick a set that has chairs to get the most benefit of this feature.
Design
A single mid sleeper is a great choice for children who like to climb and explore. They are typically constructed from solid hardwoods, and they 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 mattress or bunk systems to avoid dangers of entrapment. Some beds have a protective mesh on top of the mattress to give you additional peace of mind.
The majority of children's cabin beds are designed for six-year older or more and are adorned with vibrant colors that entice their naiveté. Look for a design with shelves and a pull-out desk to provide more space for play or studying.
mid sleeper bunk of the designs we have in our collection are available with a range of accessories like tents, pockets organisers, and tunnels that can help keep their bedrooms neat and organised. The Pino wooden mid-sleeper with curtains for instance is available in three frame colors and 9 bed curtains. These range from neutrals to themed styles such as princesses and unicorns.
A conversion kit is also available 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're thinking about a single convertible cabin bed, choose a sturdy construction that can support adults with a weight limit of up to 80kg.
Think about a neutral design to accommodate a variety of preferences when introducing a tiny single into a bedroom shared by two. You could paint the walls with fresh grey or duck egg blue to create a backdrop that is easily changed by adding furniture and bedding in purple, pink, red or any other shade your child likes.
If you're planning to add one cabin bed into a bedroom for your child, you should consider selecting one with an integrated wardrobe built in. This will save the floor space and make it easier for your child's clothing to be organized. Our Julian Bowen Stella and Cookie mid-sleeper models come with drawers on the sides that provide plenty of storage space for books, toys and bits and bobs.
