Mid Sleeper Beds
Mid sleepers are lower to the ground than a high sleeper, and have a smaller staircase or ladder, so they are ideal for children who are younger. They offer plenty of space underneath for storage, desks and beds for spare beds.
Many cabin beds come with a fabulous under-bed tent that comes in a variety of styles and colors. These are a hit with children and can be used to make their own den or a chill zone.
Size
Mid sleepers are smaller than high sleeper beds despite their name. They are, therefore, better suited for children. They are also perfect for bedrooms with smaller spaces, since they require less space than the conventional single.
They share many of the same great features of a high sleeper but at an elevated level for more comfort. This lets your child sleep comfortably and safely in the evening, while playing underneath their mattress.
Mid sleeper beds are available in a variety of exciting designs that will inspire imagination and make the transition from their old bed to their new one enjoyable. There are many designs that include a tent for kids to play and sleep in or even desks for homework and studying. Some also have drawers with trundles or a pull-out bed for a chair for extra guests at sleepovers.
A quality mid-sleeper will also have a variety of storage options that will help your child to keep their room tidy and organised. They may include shelves, drawers or cabinets for books or toys. Some have a desk with an open table to work from or studying. The Trasman Mid Sleeper Cabin bed is a fantastic example, as it includes all of these features.
For older children, a mid-sleeper with a desk will provide them with the ideal place to relax and focus on their favourite activities while ensuring that they get an adequate night's sleep. Some designs have a fun slide which can be an exciting addition to their bedroom. It also allows them to zip around with their friends during playtime or when they're having a slumber party. Everyone will be jealous of them! The majority of our high and mid sleeper beds are designed with longevity in mind, and can be upgraded to your needs as your child grows up. This is a feature which is common to all Lifetime Kids furniture so your children can enjoy their high or mid sleeper well beyond their teenage years.
Style
A mid sleeper cabin bed is higher than the bunk bed or high sleeper, but lower than a loft bed. This makes it ideal for children who prefer to have a little more headroom, but still want the practical aspects of a high sleeper, such as shelves and desks.
There are a variety of beds and, therefore, no matter what your child's interests are there is a bed that suits their needs. There are beds that are simple frames that come with different colors or patterns and others come with amusing features like desks, tents, and book storage. There is even a design in which the ladder can be put on either side of the bed to ensure it's easy to find the way up!
Some high and mid-sleeper beds also come with additional furniture like a desk or pull out chair bed for guests to rest on. This makes the space underneath their bed an actual feature of their bedroom and could be a great way to encourage children to keep their room clean, tidy and organised.
If your child is a lover of fantasy, they'll be thrilled by the idea of having a room under their bed to relax and play in. You can even find designs that allow them to hang curtains or fairy lights over their den to create a truly amazing space. Certain designs are more neutral, allowing your child to use it for studying or to relax.
Mid and high sleeper beds are often converted to lower sizes such as a single bed when your child is ready to move on. This is an excellent investment because it will save you money in the long run and your child can use their bed of choice throughout their childhood and into their teens. This is a great choice for families with more than one child because you'll save money on buying two beds.
Stores
There's no getting away from the fact that children have plenty of stuff! It's essential that they have a place to keep it all, particularly in a space as small as a child's bedroom. That's why we have a wide range of beds with built-in storage options to help get organised and tidy. There are a variety of choices to choose from, including single mid-sleepers with storage drawers as well as high-sleepers that are full-sized and have drawers that can be used as trundles for guests.
A mid-sleeper, also referred to as a cabin bed or a low bunk bed is a great option to make the most of limited space in your child's bedroom. They're a happy medium between the standard single bed and a loft or high sleeper and provide plenty of fun practicality, and are a great option for small bedrooms or children who might be worried about sleeping too high up. Because of their low elevation, mid sleeper beds are often raised above the ground to allow for storage or even a play area underneath.
These beds come with a range of storage options. These include cube or shelving units as well as wardrobes, drawers for books and trundle shelves. You may even find models with a desk that can be used for homework or study and then moved back into the bed when not in use.
Many of our mid sleeper beds are made with specific themes or colours in mind to suit either boys or girls bedrooms. They can come with tents or fairy lights, rock climbing walls or even slides to add some adventure! Some have a cozy area with curtains and a chair which means your children can snuggle in their reading area with the book or an iced tea and a good read.
Other models, such as our Marlowe mid sleeper bed are made with no storage underneath and simply have a bookcase at the end of the bed - perfect for creating a super cool reading area or place to read. Combine this with bean bags to create a cozy reading area.
Safety
A mid-sleeper is an excellent option to a single bed, because it has desk space that is not used. This allows for more floor space to be used for other uses like storage space, a closet or even a play area. The desk is built into the frame, which makes it safe and cabin bed with desk mid sleeper durable for your child. Most beds come with stairs or ladders for access and many come in different styles so your child can find their ideal. There are even designs with desks that are pirate themed or that look like castles!
Mid sleepers are a great choice for younger children as they provide a space where they can play, study and sleep. Most guidelines from manufacturers recommend that your child should be at minimum 6 years old before they sleep in a middle-sleeper because of safety rules.
Mid and high sleeper beds are similar in terms of safety. They each have a ladder which can be used for access and also safety panels that must be installed. However, if you follow the instructions for assembly and use your mid or high sleeper correctly there should not be any safety issues.
You should always place carpet under your raised bed, like you would with a cabin bed, to reduce the risk that your child may be injured severely when they fall off. Also, ensure that your child doesn't use the high or mid-sleeper as a climbing frame and only uses it for sleeping at the night. As climbing up the ladder or playing with it could result in serious injuries, it is important to make sure your child is not using their bed at night.
High and mid sleepers can be a fantastic alternative to a standard single bed. They can fit in smaller bedrooms and work with rooms with architectural quirks such as low ceilings. They're a huge novelty for children and offer an exciting method to ensure they get a good night's sleep, but it's crucial to keep in mind that your child needs to be at least six years older before they can be able to sleep in one.
