Mid Sleeper Small Single
Children's mid sleepers and cabin beds are a great way to provide storage options that traditional bed frames can't. Consider options such as pull out desks that can be easily tucked into the furniture when they are not in use, as well as ample shelving to accommodate their ever-growing assortment of toys and games.
Consider also children's bunk beds with shelves that have handy hooks - ideal for a drink of water or a book.
Sleeping Area
The sleeping platform of a mid-sleeper can be elevated from the ground and usually includes sides to create a secure and safe environment that promotes good sleep posture and spinal alignment. This helps children sleep better, longer and more comfortably. It also improves their physical and mental well-being.
The small, mid-sleeper bed is an excellent choice for children who are transitioning from cribs to beds. It offers a comfortable bed that is comfortable and introduces elements of a bed for adults that encourage independence. The elevated platform and enclosed area can also help to promote relaxation and a calm routine at night.
Mid sleeper cabins are designed to be multi-purpose spaces for your child to play, study or relax. The raised sleeping surface is great to place furniture such as desks or a sofa on top and the sturdy construction ensures you aren't worried about it slipping. A mid sleeper is a great option for kids who have begun to demonstrate enthusiasm for academic pursuits and homework.
Mid-sized beds for children may come with storage built-in, giving your child more room to unwind and spread out. They usually come with drawers in the chest, a shelves that can be pulled out or a pull-out desk that can accommodate all sorts of things like books and toys. Some models, like the Julian Bowen Skye Playhouse Mid Sleeper, are designed to look like homes or castles for knights that children can decorate with windows and curtains to add fun.
The majority of mid-sleepers for kids will have a ladder or stairway that helps them reach the platform that sleeps above. These are designed to be strong and safe, with guardrails and wide treads to make climbing easier for younger children. It's always an excellent idea to watch your child when they're using the stairs or ladder to ensure they are following safety guidelines and don't try to climb too high too quickly! There are also single mid-sleepers which don't need a ladder or stairs at all for a sleeker, more compact appearance.
Mattress
There's a lot to love about a mid sleeper small single. Their striking designs and exciting features draw children's attention, helping them to drift off to dreamland more easily. They are also a practical choice if you're struggling to fit in wardrobe or drawer storage spaces, as they are usually equipped with built-in under bed storage solutions. The extra space beneath the mattress can be used to store low-level objects that will grow with your child. It could be open cabinets that can be used for totes, or drawers that are neat and tidy, with a smooth, no-slip operation.
The kind of mattress you pick is largely dependent on your sleeper's preferred position for sleeping, with a softer feel ideal for people who sleep on their sides and in front than a firmer one. There are mattresses that offer additional benefits such as anti-dustmite treatment and cooling features to promote healthy sleep. Some of these mattresses can accommodate desks that pull out to can be used as study areas. They can be lifesavers when you are trying to clean up the carpet in your child's bedroom and still let them complete their work.
A lot of the mattresses we sell for mid sleeper cabin bed s can be vacuum-packed to make delivery easier and reduces their size to just a fraction of their original size to allow easier maneuvering around your home after arriving. This is a great option for those with joint or back issues and are worried about moving a bed.
Some of our mid-sleeper beds can be made into a day bed and bunk bed with the help of conversion kits that allow them to be adapted as your child develops. This is a great option for families who require the same bedroom for a prolonged 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. Alternatively the Julian Bown Skye Playhouse Midsleeper is a design dream that is designed to resemble an old castle or a house and is able to be given an individual touch by adding curtains, twinkly lights or removable stickers.
Under-bed Storage
Mid-sleeper cabin beds are very popular as they offer a lot of clever storage options. Unlike high sleeper and bunk beds which are raised to an extremely high level they usually sit about one metre from the floor, leaving plenty of space underneath to install furniture and other practical features. The most obvious under-bed storage solution is a set of drawers. They can be positioned at either end of the bed or along its length. Some even have space to make a table for the bed. Look out for drawers that are able to fit into a divan base, to give a clean and seamless look.
Woven baskets and drawers constructed from natural materials are another under-bed storage solution worth taking into consideration. Woven fibres allow air to circulate and avoid dampness and musty odors, keeping the items stored fresh and safe. A storage bag that is vacuum-packed is perfect for items that will be stored away for a longer time. It will eliminate any air and allow you to fit into more.
You can also choose a sleek, purpose-built single cabin bed that has built-in cabinets and drawers. These will not only make use of the space under your bed to the fullest, but they'll also keep things neat and tidy. Drawer systems with smooth no-wobble runners are a must, especially if you want to keep them from getting jammed. If you choose a wood model, make sure you choose an aesthetically pleasing finish that blends with the rest of the room's decor.
If you are a student it's worth considering mid-sleeper cabin beds that have desks that can be pulled out. These beds won't just give your kids a comfortable place to do their homework or chat with their friends, but they'll also help you save space in their bedrooms. Look for options that include chairs to make the most of this practical feature.
Design
A single mid sleeper is a fantastic choice for kids who enjoy climbing and exploring. They are typically constructed from solid hardwoods, and are equipped with ladders that meet strict safety standards. You can avoid the risk of entrapment by selecting beds that have guard rails along the sides of the mattress. Some beds will also include a protective net over the mattress to provide security.
Most children's cabin beds are designed for six year olds or above and feature bold colourways that appeal to their developing imaginations. You can also choose designs that have shelves and a pull-out desk to give you more space for study or play.
A lot of the designs we have in our collection are available with a selection of accessories like tents, tunnels and pocket organisers that can help keep their bedroom tidy and organised. The Pino wooden mid-sleeper that comes with a curtain, for example is available in 3 frames and 9 bed curtains. They vary from 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 gives your child to adapt their space to their interests and preferences. If you're thinking about a single convertible cabin bed Choose a sturdy structure capable of supporting adults with a weight limit of up to 80kg.
Choose a neutral look to accommodate multiple preferences when introducing a small single into a shared bedroom. Paint the walls with a fresh coat of grey or duck egg blue to create a backdrop that's easily restyled with bedding and furniture in pink, purple or red, or any other shade your child loves.
Think about a bed that has an integrated wardrobe if adding one to your child's bedroom. This will save space on the floor and allows your child to keep their clothes neatly organized. Our Julian Bowen Stella and Cookie mid-sleeper models come with side drawers that have plenty of storage space for books, toys and other bits and bobs.
