Mid Sleeper Small Single
Standard bed frames don't offer the same storage options as mid-sleepers or cabin beds. Consider options such as pull out desks that can be pushed neatly into furniture when not in use, as well as ample shelving to accommodate their ever-growing collection of games and toys.
Also think about children's cabin beds with hooks that can be easily hung on shelves - ideal for reading or drinking a glass of water.
Sleeping Area
The sleeping platform of the mid-sleeper is elevated above the ground, often with sides to create a safe and secure space that encourages good posture for sleep and spinal alignment. This helps children sleep longer, better and more soundly. It also contributes to their mental and physical health.
A small single bed that is mid-sleeper is a great option for children who are transitioning from crib to bed as it provides a familiar and comforting sleeping area while introducing elements of an grown-up bed that encourage independence. The elevated platform and enclosed space also encourages relaxation and a calm bedtime routine, assisting them to settle down for a restful night's rest.
Mid sleeper cabins are designed to serve as multi-purpose spaces for children to study, play and take a nap. The raised bed surface lets you to place furniture such as a desk or sofa underneath. It's also durable, so there's no 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-sleeper beds for children can come with built-in storage, which can allow your children to spread out and unwind. These beds typically have a pullout desk, chest of drawers for storage, or extensive shelving to accommodate books and toys. Some models - like the Julian Bowen Skye Playhouse mid sleeper - have been designed to resemble a home or knight's fort that children can customize with curtains, windows and glimmering lights for an extra playful feature.
Most children's mid sleepers will feature ladders or stairs that aid in climbing to the platform they sleep on. They're designed with wide treads and guardrails that allow young children to climb. You should always be watching your child when they use the ladder or stairs to ensure they are following safety guidelines and are not trying to climb too fast. There are also single mid-sleepers that don't require ladders or stairs at all for a sleeker and more compact look.
Mattress
A single with a mid-sleep position is a good choice. Their bold designs and fun features entice children's imagination, helping them to sleep more easily. These beds are also an ideal option if you're struggling to fit in drawers or wardrobe spaces, since most come with built-in under bed storage solutions. The extra space under your mattress could be used to store smaller items that will expand with your child. It can be open cabinets that can be used for totes or drawers that are neat and tidy, with a smooth, no-slip operation.
The type of mattress you select will depend on the sleeping position of your sleeper. A mattress that is soft is better for front sleepers or side sleepers, while a firmer mattress is more suitable for back and stomach sleepers. You can also choose from various mattresses that offer added benefits, such as anti-dust mite treatments as well as cooling properties that help to promote healthy rest. Some of these beds can include pull-out desks, which can be a great place to study. These beds can be a lifesaver for those trying to clean the floor in your child's room and allow them to continue their work at the same time.
Many of the mattresses we sell for mid sleeper cabin beds can be vacuum-packed to make delivery easier, which reduces their size to only a fraction of their original size to allow simpler manoeuvre around your home after arriving. This is an excellent option if you're 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 made into a day bed and bunk bed by using conversion kits that allow them to be adapted as your child grows. This is perfect for families who may need to use the bedroom for a long 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 ladder. The Julian Bown Skye Midsleeper, an aesthetic dream that appears like the castle, is customized with curtains, twinkling lights, or removable stickers.
Under-bed Storage
Mid-sleeper cabin beds are popular due to the fact that they provide a variety of storage options. Unlike high sleeper and bunk beds that are elevated to a high level they usually sit just a few centimetres from the floor, leaving plenty of room underneath to install furniture and other practical features. Drawers are the most obvious solution to storage underneath the bed. They can be put at either end of the bed or along its length. Some even come with space for bedside table. To create a clean, seamless finish, look for drawers made to fit seamlessly into the divan base.
Woven drawers and baskets made from natural materials are an additional under-bed storage solution worth looking into. Woven fibres circulate air and prevent dampness and musty odours. This keeps stored items clean and safe. A vacuum-packed storage bag is ideal for items that need to be stored for a longer time. It will eliminate all air and allow you to squeeze into more.
You can also pick small cabin beds with drawers and cabinets built in. These beds will not only make the most of the space under your bed, but they also help keep everything neat and tidy. Drawer systems that have smooth, non-wobble runners will assist you in avoiding getting stuck. If you opt for a wooden model for your home, opt for a painted finish to match the decor of the room.
If you value studying then you should consider mid-sleeper cabin beds that have desks that can be pulled out. These beds won't just give your kids a comfortable space to study or chat with friends, but they'll 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 a great option for kids who like to climb and explore. They're typically made of solid hardwoods, and are equipped with ladders that are designed to meet the most stringent safety standards. You can prevent entrapment by choosing beds that have guard rails along the sides of the mattress. Some beds also have a protective net over the mattress to give you security.
Most children's beds are designed for kids aged six years or older. They are designed with vibrant colours that appeal to their growing imaginations. Alternatively, look for designs that have shelves and a pull-out desk to provide extra space to study or play.
A lot of our designs come with accessories like tents, tunnels, and pockets organizers to keep the bedroom tidy and organized. For instance the Pino mid-sleeper made of wood 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 transform some of our loft beds or single cabins into bunk beds or day bed. This allows your child the flexibility to change their space according to their evolving interests. If you're thinking about a single convertible cabin bed make sure you choose a sturdy design capable of supporting the weight of an adult up to 80kg.
Choose a neutral look to accommodate multiple preferences when introducing a small single into a bedroom shared by two. You can paint the walls a new shade of grey or blue duck egg to create a backdrop for bedding or furniture which can be easily changed in pink, purple or red.
If you're planning to add the single cabin bed as a bedroom for your child, think about selecting one with an integrated wardrobe built in. This will help save space on the floor, and make it easier for your child's clothing to be organised. Julian Bowen Cookie and Stella mid sleeper models have side drawers that can be used to store books, toys and other small bits and pieces.
