Mid Sleeper Small Single
Children's mid-sleepers and cabin beds offer versatile storage options that standard bed frames simply can't. Pull out desks can be neatly tucked away into furniture when not in usage and shelves are readily available to store their ever-growing collection.
Also, think about cabin beds for children with hooks for shelves that are perfect for a book or drink of water.
Sleeping Area
The sleeping platform on a mid-sleeper is elevated above the ground, often with sides to create a safe and secure space that encourages healthy sleep posture and spinal alignment. This assists children to sleep longer, more comfortably and more soundly - all contributing to their mental and physical health and well-being.
A mid sleeper small single is also a good option for kids who are making the transition from crib to bed, as it provides a safe and cozy sleeping space, while introducing elements of an grown-up bed that encourage independence. The elevated platform and enclosed area also encourage the relaxation and a tranquil evening routine.
Mid sleeper cabin beds are designed to provide multi-purpose play, study, and sleeping spaces for your children. The elevated sleeping surface is great to place furniture such as desks or a sofa on top and the solid construction means you do not have to worry about it falling through. A mid-sleeper is a great choice for children who have started to show enthusiasm for academic pursuits and homework.
Mid-sized beds for children may include storage built-in, giving your child more space to relax and spread out. They usually come with the option of a pull-out desk, a chest of storage drawers or extensive shelving to accommodate books and toys. Certain models, such as the Julian Bowen Skye Playhouse Mid Sleeper, are designed to look like homes or knight's castles that kids can personalize with windows and curtains to add an exciting touch.
Most children's mid sleepers will feature ladders or stairs that help them climb to the platform that is above their bed. These are designed with wide treads and guardrails to make it easier for small children to climb. It's always recommended to be a vigilant observer of your child while they use the ladder or stairs to ensure that they adhere to the safety guidelines and aren't attempting to climb up too quickly! You can also purchase single mid-sleepers that don't need a ladder or steps at all. This creates a sleeker, more compact look.
Mattress
A single that sleeps in the middle is a fantastic option. Their vibrant designs and engaging features draw children's attention and help them drift off to dreamland more easily. These beds can also be an ideal option if you're struggling to fit into drawer or wardrobe storage spaces, since most come with built-in under bed storage solutions. The extra space beneath the mattress can be used to store smaller objects that will grow with your child. It can be open cabinets that can be used for totes or drawers that are neat and tidy, with smooth, non-slip operation.
The type of mattress that you select will depend on the position of your sleeper. A mattress with a soft feel is better for front or side sleepers, while a firmer mattress is better for back and stomach sleepers. There are mattresses that have added advantages like anti-dustmite treatments and cooling qualities to help promote a healthy sleep. Some of these mattresses are able to accommodate desks that pull out to provide a perfect study space. They can be a lifesaver if you're trying to clean the floor in your child's bedroom and let them do their homework at the same time.
A majority of the mattresses we offer for cabin beds for mid-sleepers are vacuum packed to make delivery more convenient. This reduces their size by a small amount, making it easier to move them around your home after arriving. This is a great choice if you're worried about lifting and moving such an enormous bed, particularly for those who have joint or back problems.
Some of our mid sleeper beds can be made to a day bed or 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 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 an loft-style bed or a single bed with a ladder. The Julian Bown Skye Midsleeper a design dream that looks like a castle, can be 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. Contrary to high-sleeper and bunk beds that are raised very high they usually sit just a few centimetres from the ground, which leaves plenty of space beneath to add furniture and other useful features. The most obvious under-bed storage solution is the drawers. These can run the full length of the bed, be placed on either side or be used as tables to sit on at night. For a sleek, seamless finish, look for drawers that have been designed to fit seamlessly into the divan base.
Another option for storage under beds is woven drawers and baskets. These are made of natural materials. Woven fibres let air circulate and prevent dampness and musty odors, keeping items in good condition and safe. A vacuum-packed storage bag is ideal for items that will be stored away for a longer period of time. It will eliminate all air and let you fit in more.
You can also choose a small cabin bed with drawers and cabinets built in. These beds will not only maximize the space underneath your bed, but also keep everything organized and tidy. Drawer systems that have smooth, no-wobble runners will assist you in avoiding getting stuck. If you choose a wooden model for your home, opt for an attractive finish that matches the style of the room.
If studying is important to you it's worth considering middle-sleeper cabins with desks that can be pulled out. They'll not only provide your children a comfortable space to study or have a chat with their friends, but they'll also help you save some space in your bedroom as well. Look for options that include chairs to make the most of this practical feature.
Design
A single bed is a great option for children who love to climb and explore. These mid-sleepers are often made of solid hardwoods and come with ladders that comply with the strict safety standards. Be sure to look for designs that include guard rails on all sides of the upper bed or use bunk beds to avoid entrapment hazards. l shaped mid sleeper bunk beds will also include an extra net to protect the upper mattress for added security.
The majority of beds for children are designed for children aged six or older and feature vibrant colors that entice their expanding imaginations. If you prefer, choose designs that have shelving and a pull out desk to provide extra space to play or study.
Many of the designs we have in our collection are available with a selection of accessories, such as tents pockets organisers, and tunnels that can help keep their bedrooms neat and organised. The Pino wooden mid-sleeper that comes with a curtain for example, is available in 3 frames and 9 bed curtains. They range from neutrals to themed designs such as unicorns and princesses.
A conversion kit is also available to transform some of our loft beds or single cabins into bunk beds or day bed. This allows your child to change their space according to their interests and preferences. If you are considering a single cabin bed that can be converted make sure you choose a sturdy design that can support adults with a weight limit of up to 80kg.
If you're introducing a single mid sleeper small single in a shared space you should consider an uncluttered style that can be adapted to accommodate a variety of tastes. Paint the walls with fresh grey or duck egg blue to create a background that can be easily transformed by adding furniture and bedding in pink, purple or red, or any other shade your child loves.
You should consider a cabin bed that has an integrated wardrobe if you're planning to introduce one into your child's bedroom. This will save floor space, and make it easier for your child's clothes to be organised. Our Julian Bowen Stella and Cookie mid sleeper models come with side drawers that offer plenty of storage space for books, toys and bits and bobs.
