Also consider bunk beds for children with shelves that are equipped with hooks that are ideal to drink a glass of water or a book.

Most children's mid-sleepers will come with a ladder or stairway that helps them reach the platform that sleeps above. These are designed with wide treads and guardrails that make it easier for young children to climb. It is always an excellent idea to watch your child when they're using the stairs or ladder to ensure that they follow safety guidelines and aren't trying to climb up too quickly!

Mattress

These beds can also be an excellent option for those who struggle to fit in wardrobe or drawer storage spaces, as most come with built-in under bed storage solutions. The extra space beneath the mattress can be used to store smaller items that will expand with your child. It could be open cabinets for totes, or drawers that are neat and tidy, with smooth, non-slip operation.
The type of mattress you select depends largely on your sleeper's preferred sleeping position that is softer, better suited to people who sleep on their sides and in front than a firmer one. There is also a range of mattresses with added benefits, such as anti-dust mite treatments as well as cooling properties that help to promote healthy rest. Some of these mattresses are able to accommodate pull-out desks that provide a perfect study space. These can be a real lifesaver for those trying to get the floor cleared in your child's bedroom and allow them to do their homework at the same time.
Many of the mattresses we offer for cabin beds for Oak Mid Sleeper Cabin Bed-sleepers are vacuum-packed to make delivery more convenient.

Additionally, the Julian Bown Skye Playhouse Midsleeper can be described as a design dream made to look like an old castle or a house, and can be given personal touches with curtains and twinkly lights, or removable stickers.
Under-bed Storage
mid rise bunk bed-sleeper cabin beds are very popular as they offer a lot of storage options. In contrast to high sleeper and bunk beds, which are raised very high they usually sit at a distance of about a metre from the floor - leaving plenty of space underneath to add furniture and other features. The most obvious under bed storage solution is the drawers. They can extend the full length of the bed, and be positioned at either end or be used as tables for bedside. Look out for drawers that fit seamlessly into the divan base to give a neat and seamless look.
Woven baskets and drawers constructed from natural materials are another under bed storage option worth considering. Woven fibers allow air to circulate and avoid dampness or musty odours from keeping stored items fresh and safe. If items are to be stored for longer periods and require a vacuum-packed storage bag is an ideal choice since it eliminates all the air, allowing you to fit more space.
You can also pick a small cabin bed with drawers and cabinets built in. These will not only utilize your under bed space to the fullest, but they'll also keep things neat and tidy. Drawer systems with smooth, no-wobble runners will help you avoid getting stuck. If you select a wooden model, opt for a painted finish that coordinates with the rest of the interior decor.

Design
A single mid-sleeper is perfect for kids who are prone to climbing, exploring and discover. They're typically made of solid hardwoods and include ladders that are designed to meet the most stringent safety standards. Look for designs that include guard rails on all sides of the upper mattress or bunk systems to avoid dangers of entrapment. Some beds have a protective mesh that covers the mattress to provide you with extra security.
The majority of children's beds are designed for children six years or older. They are designed with vibrant colours that appeal to their expanding imaginations. Look for a design with shelving and a desk that can be pulled out to provide more space for play or study.
