Mid Sleeper Beds For Kids
A mid-sleeper bed is the ideal option for your child if they are too big for bunk beds or are looking to maximize the space available in their bedroom. The multi-functional beds for children are a parent's dream. They are equipped with desks and storage.
All age groups can benefit from mattresses that are lower than the frame, so that children cannot roll out of bed in the middle of sleep.
Height
A mid-sleeper is a bed for children that is slightly lower than a high-sleeper. The beds have a higher sleeping surface and a space below that can be used as a desk, storage or play area. These beds are ideal for rooms with small spaces because they provide the same amount sleeping space as bunk beds while taking up less space. The beds are also great for children who want to share a bedroom with a friend or sibling, since they can accommodate two mattresses.
The height of a mid-sleeper can vary based on the design. However, they are typically between 110 cm and140 cm high. This is the same as the height of the standard bed frame. The majority of our mid sleepers require a single mattress, however, some models are suitable for a double or even a triple mattress, therefore make sure you check the specifications of the product prior purchasing.
Safety is always the top priority when it comes to the size of a cabin bed. Our selection of children mid-sleepers is designed with safety in mind. The staircases in our models have been designed with safety in mind. They have broad steps that are easier to navigate and reduce the risk for accidents. Additionally the rails that are secured to the top of the sleeping area are higher than those on a traditional bunk bed to stop your child from falling out in the night.
We recommend that your child only use the mid sleeper to sleep and not to play or hang off the ladder. This can increase the risk for falls and injuries. We also recommend against using a mid-sleeper for children younger than six years old, since they might struggle to climb the stairs safely.
Space
Mid sleepers (sometimes called cabin beds) are elevated enough from the ground to permit furniture underneath, which transforms rooms into multi-purpose study, play, and sleep zones. They're perfect for kids who's rooms aren't equipped with the space needed for furniture, and are designed to be strong and durable.
Mid-sleeper beds usually have ladders or stairs that children can climb to get to the sleeping space above, rather than requiring them to crawl or jump up into bed, as traditional bunk beds or high sleeper beds do. This makes them more accessible for younger children to use and encourages independence when getting ready for bed. It is essential to ensure that the ladder or stairs are fitted with guardrails that meet safety standards, and are used in in a manner that does not create any risk of injury.
One of the biggest advantages of a sleeper with a mid-sleep is that they are usually fitted with ample storage space. Many models come with a cubby hole or stair-like drawer under the sleeping platform which can be used to store toys, books, and trinkets. Many parents are enthralled by these features since they help declutter their child's bedroom and help create a more organized area that still leaves plenty of room for kids to be kids.
Another feature that is popular with mid-sleeper beds is that they can also be used as a desk or workstation. This is great for helping children with homework and projects however it also provides an excellent way to help them learn good study habits and highlight the importance of having a dedicated space. The majority of models have a pull-out table that can be neatly tucked away in the corner when not in use. This is especially useful in smaller bedrooms where maximising space is important.
If your child is a creative they will be thrilled by the idea of a bed that could transform into a princess castle or cosy den. This is particularly true of the Skye Playhouse mid-sleeper which has been built to look like a house, complete with windows and roof. Kids can then decorate the exterior with curtains or even twinkly lights to add a flavor of fun.
Style
A mid sleeper is a great choice for children that are older than six years older. It offers both storage space and sleeping space. This type of bed is usually lower than a high-sleeper, and includes a ladder or steps to the top. It's a space saver that can be used as an area for studying or playing. Some models have a movable desk or shelving add ons that make them perfect for children to work at in the evening.
Mid sleepers are available in a variety of styles to fit your child's tastes and decor. Some mid sleepers feature a cool bunk bed look with curving sides. Others feature an enclosed design with doors that are designed to give them a chic and modern feel. Some are painted pink to match the girl's room, and others sport a shaker-style that suits a boy's bedroom.
For older children, some of our mid sleepers feature desks that can be pulled out and lots of storage space to maximize their space. Our Trasman Girona Mid Sleeper Cabin Bed is a fantastic illustration of this. It features a full size desk that can be pushed in and out of the way when not in use, and comes with a large number of bookshelves, drawers and other compartments too.
A lot of our mid-sleeper beds also have a large cavity underneath them which can be used as a den or as a place to put a roll mat or camp bed for a particular sleepover buddy. This is a sure success with any child who loves to invite their friends over to spend the night!
Many of our mid-sleeper beds include or without a sliding. This is an awesome feature that turns their bed into an area for play and stimulates their imagination during bedtime. It can also be used as a place to relax during the day to play games and enjoy adventures. If you do choose a model that comes with a slide, look for one with an extremely safe and sturdy staircase with wide treads for an easy climb. Also, it locks in securely to prevent any accidents.

A mid-sleeper is an excellent alternative to high-sleeper and bunk beds for children. Sleep nests provide children with space underneath their bed to lounge, play and learn while also giving parents peace of mind that their kids are sleeping in a safe and secure environment. With innovative designs that include shelves, desks and seats the cost of a mid sleeper can be more than affordable when you consider what this multi-functional piece of furniture can offer.

A mid sleeper bed can be lower in height than a high sleeper, or bunk beds. This makes it more comfortable for young children to get into. They are suitable for children six and over. They are designed to be safer for children than the conventional loft and bunk bed. They have wider ladders and more steps than conventional single beds.
Contrary to the messy appearance of a bunk or loft bed, mid sleeper styles typically have a minimalist style that can be matched with any interior decor. They'll look great as your child grows older and becomes a teenager, even in the event that they alter their tastes. The VonHaus pine mid-sleeper, for instance, has a shaker design and a neutral white finish that can blend with any bedroom decor.
Many mid sleeper styles feature a desk that can be pulled out when not in use, perfect for studying and homework. They are ideal for keeping your child's bedroom tidy, while keeping them organized and focused. They also provide your children with a fantastic space that they will love to use.
Single beds with a mid-sleep are also a great option for bedrooms with smaller spaces as they are able to save the floor space, while providing a comfortable place to sleep. For instance the Stompa Auburn mid sleeper at Bensons for Beds is a simple but practical design that has three drawers that are big enough to hold socks, undies and PJs, a handy shelf and a pull out desk. It is available in a variety of colors that will suit any bedroom style.
