Mid Sleeper Small Single
Standard bed frames do not offer the same storage options as mid-sleepers or cabin beds. Desks with pull-outs can be easily tucked into furniture when not in use and shelves are also available to store their ever-growing collections.
Also consider bunk beds for children with shelves that have handy hooks - ideal for a drink of water or reading.
Sleeping Area
The sleeping platform of a mid sleeper is elevated from the ground, usually with sides to create a secure and secure space that encourages good posture for sleep and spinal alignment. This helps children sleep longer, more comfortably and more soundly. It also helps their physical and mental health.
The mid sleeper small single bed is an excellent choice for children who are transitioning from cribs to beds. It provides a familiar, comfortable sleeping area and introduces the elements of a adult bed that promote independence. The elevated platform and enclosed space provides a relaxing and peaceful bedtime routine, helping them get a good night's sleep.
Mid sleeper cabins are designed to serve as multi-purpose spaces for children to study, play and relax. The raised sleeping surface is great for placing furniture like desks or a sofa on top and the solid construction means you don't have to worry about it slipping. This makes a mid sleeper a clever option for children who are beginning to show an interest in homework and academic pursuits.
Children's mid sleepers may have built-in storage that can give your children more room to spread out and relax. They usually come with a chest of drawers, pullout desk or extensive shelving that can accommodate all sorts of items including books and toys. Some models - like the Julian Bowen Skye Playhouse mid sleeper - are even designed to look like a house or knight's fort that children can customize by adding curtains, windows and twinkly lights to give an extra playful touch.
The majority of children's mid-sleepers feature ladders or stairs that help them climb to the platform that is above their bed. They are designed to be sturdy and safe, with guardrails and wide treads to make the climb easier for children who are younger. Always supervise your child while they are using the stairs or ladder to ensure that they are following safety guidelines and are not trying to climb too quickly. You can also buy single mid-sleepers that don't require ladders or steps at all. This gives a sleeker, more compact look.
Mattress
A single with a mid-sleep position is a good choice. The striking designs and exciting features of these beds captivate the imagination of children and allow them to drift into dreamland with ease. These beds can also be an excellent option for those who struggle to fit in wardrobe or drawer storage spaces, as most come with built-in under bed storage solutions. The extra space beneath the mattress can be used to store small items that will grow with your child. It could be open cupboards for bags or drawers that are neat and tidy with smooth, non-slip operation.
The type of mattress that you pick will be based on the sleeping position of your sleeper. A softer mattress is ideal for front or side sleepers, while a firmer mattress is ideal for back and stomach sleepers. There are mattresses with additional benefits such as anti-dustmite treatment and cooling features to help promote a healthy sleep. Some of these beds accommodate pull-out desks, which can be a great place to study. They can be lifesavers when you're trying to tidy the carpet in your child's bedroom and still allow them to complete their homework.
A majority of the mattresses we offer for cabin beds that are mid-sleeper size are vacuum packed to make delivery easier. This reduces their size by a small amount, making it easier to move them around your home once you arrive. This is a great solution for people who have back or joint problems and are worried about the hassle of moving a large bed.
Some of our mid sleeper beds can be converted into a daybed and a bunk bed using optional conversion kits which allow them to change as your child develops. This is ideal for families who might need to use the bedroom for a long period of time. The Kidsaw Urban Midsleeper 1 for instance is a classic white and birch bed that converts into a loft style bed or a single bed with a ladder. Additionally the Julian Bown Skye Playhouse Midsleeper is a style dream made to look like a castle or house and is able to be given a personal touch with curtains, twinkly lights or removable stickers.
Under-bed Storage
Mid-sleeper cabin beds are popular because they offer a lot of clever storage options. They typically sit one metre off the floor, unlike high sleeper or bunk beds that are raised to a high level. This leaves plenty of room underneath for furniture and other useful features. Drawers are the most obvious solution to storage underneath the bed. They can be placed at either end of the bed or along its length. Some even come with space for a bedside table. For mid cabin bed with wardrobe , opt for drawers 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 circulate air and prevent dampness and musty odors. This keeps stored items fresh and secure. A vacuum-packed storage bag is perfect for items that need to be stored for a longer time. It will eliminate all air and let you fit in more.
You could also consider a stylish, purpose-designed small single cabin bed with built-in drawers and cabinets. These beds will not only maximize the space under your bed, but will also keep everything organized and tidy. Drawer systems that feature smooth, no-wobble runners will help you avoid jamming. If you opt for a wooden model for your home, select an attractive finish that matches the style of the room.
It's also worth searching for cabin beds that sleep mid-sleep with desks that can be pulled out if studying is a priority. These beds won't just give your kids a comfortable place to work or to chat with their friends, but they'll also free up space in their bedrooms. Pick a set that has chairs to make the most of this feature.
Design
A single mid-sleeper is a fantastic choice for children who like to climb and explore. These beds are usually constructed of solid hardwoods, and are equipped with ladders that comply with the strict safety standards. Look for designs that include guard rails on both sides of the upper bed or use a bunk system to prevent entrapment hazards. Certain beds include a safety mesh that covers the mattress to give you additional peace of mind.
The majority of beds for children are designed for children aged six and over and are adorned with vibrant colours that appeal to their growing imaginations. Find a style with shelves and a pull-out desk to give you more space for studying or playing.
Many of our designs come with accessories such as tunnels, tents and pockets organizers to keep the bedroom tidy and well-organized. The Pino wooden mid-sleeper with curtain for instance is available in 3 frames and 9 curtains for the bed. They are available in neutral to themed designs like 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 allows your child to alter the room as their interests change. If you are considering a single cabin bed that can be converted make sure you choose a sturdy design that can support the weight of an adult up to 80kg.
Choose a neutral look to accommodate multiple tastes when introducing a mid-sleeper small single into a bedroom shared by two. You could paint the walls a fresh shade of grey or duck-egg blue to create a backdrop for bedding and furniture that can be easily restyled with a variety of colors, including purple, pink or red.
If you're introducing one cabin bed into a bedroom for your child, consider opting for one that has an integrated wardrobe built in. This will reduce the 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 other bits and bobs.
