Mid Sleeper Small Single
Standard bed frames do not offer the same storage options as mid-sleepers or cabin beds. Desks that can be pulled out can be easily tucked into furniture when not in usage and shelves are readily available to store their ever-growing collection.
Consider also children's bunk beds with shelves that come with handy hooks - ideal for a drink of water or a book.
Sleeping Area
The platform for sleeping of the mid-sleeper is elevated from the ground and often includes sides to create an environment of safety and security that encourages good posture and spinal alignment. This allows children to sleep better, longer and more soundly. It also improves their physical and mental well-being.
A small single that sleeps mid is also a good option for children making the transition from crib to bed as it provides a safe and cozy sleeping space, while introducing the elements of a grown-up bed that encourage independence. The elevated platform and enclosed area can also help to promote the relaxation and a tranquil routine at night.
Mid sleeper cabins are designed to serve as multi-purpose spaces for your child to play, study or rest. The raised sleeping surface allows you to place furniture like the sofa or desk underneath. It's also durable, so there's no need to worry about falling. This makes a mid-sleeper an ideal option for kids who are beginning to show interest in their academic and homework pursuits.
Children's mid-sleepers may have built-in storage, which can allow your children to sprawl out and unwind. These beds typically include an armoire, large shelving or a pullout desk that can accommodate all sorts of items including books and toys. Some models - like the Julian Bowen Skye Playhouse mid sleeper - have been designed to resemble a home or knight's fort, which kids can customised with curtains, windows and twinkly lights to give an extra playful feature.
Most children's mid sleepers will have stairs or ladders that aid in climbing to the sleeping platform above. These are designed to be strong and secure, with guardrails and wide treads to make the climb easier for children who are younger. It is always a good idea to supervise your child while they use the stairs or ladder to ensure they are following safety guidelines and don't try to climb up too quickly! You can also purchase single mid sleepers which do not require a ladder or steps at all. This will give a more sleek and more compact appearance.
Mattress
There's a lot to like about a mid sleeper small single. Their bold designs and fun features capture children's imagination, helping them to drift off to a dream more quickly. These beds can also be a practical choice for those who struggle to fit into drawer or wardrobe storage spaces, as they are usually equipped with built-in storage under bed solutions. If it's open cabinets ready for totes or neat and tidy drawers that have smooth, non-wobble operation, the extra space beneath the mattress can be ideal for adaptable low-level storage that can grow with your child's.
The type of mattress you pick will be based on the sleeping position of your sleeper. A softer mattress is best for front sleepers or side sleepers, whereas a firmer mattress is better for back and stomach sleepers. You can also choose from several mattresses that have additional benefits, like anti-dust mite treatments or cooling properties that ensure a healthy sleep. Some of these beds can accommodate desks that pull out to can be used as study areas. They can be a lifesaver for those trying to get the floor cleared in your child's bedroom and allow them to continue their work while they study.
The majority of mattresses we sell for cabin beds for mid-sleepers are vacuum-packed to make delivery easy. This reduces their size by a fraction, making it easier to move them around your home when you arrive. This is a great option for those who suffer from joint or back issues and are concerned about moving a large bed.
Some of our mid sleeper beds can be transformed into a day bed and bunk bed with the help of conversion kits which allow them to change as your child grows. This is perfect for families who might require the bedroom for a long period of time. The Kidsaw Urban Midsleeper 1 for instance is a classic white and birch bed that can be converted into an loft-style bed or a single bed that has a ladder. The Julian Bown Skye Midsleeper is a dream of design that looks like the castle, is customized with curtains, twinkling lights or removable stickers.
Under-bed Storage
A big draw of mid sleeper cabin beds is that they come with many clever storage options. Unlike high sleeper and bunk beds that are raised very high they are typically about one metre from the ground, which leaves plenty of room underneath to add furniture and other practical features. The most obvious under bed storage solution is a set of drawers. They can be positioned on either the end of the bed or along its length. Some even have room to make a table for the bed. Be sure to look for drawers that are able to fit into a divan base, to give a neat and seamless finish.
Woven baskets and drawers constructed from natural materials are an additional under-bed storage solution worth considering. Woven fibres let air circulate and prevent dampness or musty odours, keeping items in good condition and secure. If items are to be stowed away for longer periods and require a vacuum-packed storage bag is a great choice since it eliminates all the air, allowing you to fit more into your space.
You can also choose an attractive, purpose-built small single cabin bed with built-in cabinets and drawers. These beds will not only increase the space underneath your bed, but also keep everything tidy and organized. Drawer systems with smooth, no-wobble runners are a must especially if you want to keep them from getting jammed. If you choose a wooden model for your home, select an oiled finish that is in line with the decor of the room.
It's also worth searching for cabin beds that sleep mid-sleep with desks that pull out if studying is a top priority. These beds won't just provide your children with a comfortable space to study or chat with their friends, but they'll also save you space in their bedrooms. Look for options that include chairs to make the most of this useful feature.
Design
A single bed is a great choice for kids who love to climb and explore. They're typically made of solid hardwoods and include ladders that meet strict safety standards. Be sure to look for designs that include guard rails on the sides of the mattress or a bunk system to prevent entrapment hazards. Some beds will also include a protective net over the upper mattress for added peace of mind.
Most children's cabin beds are designed for six-year older or more and are adorned with bold colourways that appeal to their naiveté. Find a style with shelves and a pull-out desk that provide more space for play or studying.
A lot of the designs we offer are available with a range of accessories such as tents, tunnels and pocket organisers that help to keep their bedroom tidy and organised. white midi bed -sleeper with curtains, for example is available in three frame colours and 9 different curtains for the bed. They vary from neutrals to themed styles such as unicorns and princesses.

This allows your child to modify the space according to their preferences.

If you're planning to introduce an individual mid-sleeper small single to a shared room, consider opting for a neutral style that can be adapted to suit multiple tastes. You can paint the walls with a fresh coat of grey or duck egg blue to create a background that can be easily transformed with bedding and furniture in purple, pink, red or any other shade your child likes.
Think about a bed that has an integrated wardrobe if you're planning to introduce one into your child's bedroom. This will save the floor space and makes it easier for your child to keep their clothes neatly organised.
