Mid Sleeper Small Single
Standard bed frames don't offer the same storage options as mid sleepers or cabin beds. Consider options like desks that are pull-out and can be easily tucked away into the furniture when not in use, and plenty of shelves to accommodate their ever-growing assortment of toys and games.
You can also consider bunk beds for kids with shelves that are equipped with hooks that are ideal to drink a glass of water or reading.
Sleeping Area
The platform for sleeping of a mid-sleeper can be elevated from the ground and usually has sides to provide an environment of safety and security that promotes good sleep posture and spinal alignment. This helps children sleep longer, better and more comfortably. It also helps their mental and physical health.
The small, mid-sleeper bed is a great option for children who are transitioning from cribs to beds. It offers a comfortable bed that is comfortable and introduces the elements of a adult bed that encourage independence. The elevated platform and enclosed area also encourage relaxation and a calm routine at night.
Mid sleeper cabins are designed to be multi-purpose spaces for children to study, play and relax. The elevated sleeping surface allows you to place furniture such as an office or a sofa under. It's also durable and there's no need to be concerned about it falling. A mid sleeper is a great option for children who have started to take an interest in academic pursuits and homework.
Children's mid-sleepers may have built-in storage, which can allow your children to sprawl out and relax. These beds often include a pullout desk, a chest of storage drawers or an extensive shelving system to hold toys and books. Certain models, such as the Julian Bowen Skye Playhouse mid sleeper - have been designed to resemble a home or knight's fort, which kids can customised with windows, curtains and twinkly lights to give an extra-fun touch.
Most children's mid-sleepers will come with stairs or a ladder that helps them reach the sleeping platform above. They are designed to be strong and safe, with guardrails and wide treads to make the climb easier for younger children. It is important to supervise your child whenever they use the stairs or ladder to ensure they're following safety guidelines and not trying to climb too quickly. You can also find single-mid sleepers that don't require ladders or stairs at all, for a sleeker, more compact appearance.
Mattress
There's a lot to like about a mid sleeper small single. The vibrant designs and fun features of these beds capture the imagination of children, allowing them to relax in a dreamlike state. The majority of these beds come with built-in storage under the bed which is a great option when you're struggling to find room for a wardrobe or drawers. The extra space beneath your mattress could be used to store small items that will expand with your child. It could be open cabinets that can be used for bags or drawers that are neat and tidy with a smooth, no-slip operation.
The type of mattress you choose will depend on the position of your sleeper. A mattress with a soft feel is best for front or side sleepers, whereas a firmer mattress is ideal for back and stomach sleepers. There are mattresses with additional advantages like anti-dustmite treatments and cooling qualities to help promote a healthy sleep. Some of these mattresses can accommodate pull-out desks, which can be a great place to study. These can be a lifesaver when you are trying to clean up the room's floor and still let them do their homework.
Many of the mattresses we sell for mid sleeper cabin beds can be packed with vacuum to make it easier to transport them and reduces their size to just a fraction of their original size for easier maneuvering around your home after arriving. This is a great option when you're concerned about lifting and moving a large bed, especially for those who have joint or back issues.
Some of our mid-sleeper beds can be made to a day bed or a bunk bed using optional conversion kits, allowing them to adapt as your child grows. This is perfect for families that may require a shared bedroom for a prolonged period of time. For example, the Kidsaw Urban Midsleeper 1 is classic white and birch bed that converts into a loft-style bunk or a traditional single bed with an incline. Alternatively you can choose the Julian Bown Skye Playhouse Midsleeper is a design dream made to look like the appearance of a castle or home, and can be given a personal touch with curtains, twinkly lights or removable stickers.
Under-bed Storage
Mid sleeper cabin beds are popular due to the fact that they offer a lot of storage options. In contrast to high sleeper and bunk beds that are elevated to a high level they are typically at a distance of about a metre from the floor, leaving plenty of space beneath to install furniture and other features. The most obvious bedside storage solution is the drawers. These can run the full length of the bed, be placed on either side or incorporate a space for tables to sit on at night. For a sleek smooth finish, opt for drawers that are designed to be a seamless fit into the divan base.
Woven baskets and drawers made of natural materials are a different under-bed storage option worth taking into consideration. Woven fibers allow air to circulate and avoid dampness or musty odours from keeping items in good condition and secure. A storage bag that is vacuum-packed is ideal for items that will be stored away for a longer period of time. It will take out all air and let you fit into more.
You can also opt for a small cabin bed with cabinets and drawers built-in. They will not only use the space under your bed to the maximum, but they'll also keep things neat and tidy. Drawer systems with smooth no-wobble runners are a must particularly if you want to prevent them from jamming. If you select a wooden model, choose a painted finish that coordinates with the rest of your interior decor.
If you value studying, it's worth looking for mid-sleeper cabin beds with desks that are pull-out. These beds won't just provide your children with a comfortable place to do their homework or spend time chatting with friends, but they'll also free up space in their bedrooms. Consider options that include chairs, to make the most of this useful feature.
Design
A single bed is ideal for kids who love to climb, explore and discover. They're often crafted from solid hardwoods and come with ladders that meet stringent safety standards. Find designs that have guard rails on all sides of the upper bed or bunk systems to avoid entrapment hazards. Some beds also have a net of protection over the mattress to give you peace of mind.
The majority of children's cabin beds are aimed at six year older or more and are adorned with bold colourways that appeal to their developing imaginations. Look for a design with shelving and a pull-out desk that give you more space to play or study.
Many of our designs include accessories like tunnels, tents, and pocket organizers to help keep your bedroom tidy and organized. The Pino wooden mid-sleeper with curtains for example is available in three frame colours and 9 different curtains for the bed. These vary from neutrals to themed styles such as unicorns and princesses.
A conversion kit is available to convert some of our loft beds or single cabins into bunk beds or day bed. This lets your child alter the room as their interests change. If you're thinking about a single cabin bed that can be converted make sure you choose a sturdy design capable of supporting the weight of an adult up to 80kg.
Consider cabin beds mid sleeper to accommodate different tastes when introducing a mid-sleeper tiny single into a shared bedroom. Paint the walls with a fresh coat of grey or duck egg blue to create a background that is easily changed by adding furniture and bedding in purple, pink or red, or whatever shade your child loves.
Consider choosing a bed that has an integrated wardrobe if introducing one to your child's bedroom. This will reduce space on the floor, and will make it easier for your child's clothes to be organized. Our Julian Bowen Stella and Cookie mid sleeper models have side drawers that have plenty of storage space for toys, books as well as other items.
