Mid Sleeper Small Single

Children's mid sleepers and cabin beds offer versatile storage options that bed frames of the standard can't. Desks that can be pulled out can be neatly tucked away into furniture when not in use and shelves are readily available to store their ever-growing collections.

Consider also children's bunk beds with shelves that have handy hooks - ideal for a drink of water or reading.

Sleeping Area

The sleeping platform of the mid-sleeper is elevated from the ground, and usually has sides to provide an environment that is secure and safe that promotes good sleep posture and spinal alignment. This helps children sleep longer, better and more comfortably. It also contributes to their physical and mental well-being.

A mid sleeper small single is also a great choice for children who are transitioning from crib to bed because it offers a comfortable and comforting sleeping area while introducing the elements of a adult bed that promote independence. The elevated platform and enclosed area can also help to promote the relaxation and a tranquil routine at night.

Mid-sleeper cabin beds are designed to provide multi-purpose play, study and sleep spaces for your children. The elevated sleeping surface is perfect for putting furniture like a sofa or desk underneath and the solid construction means you do not have to worry about it slipping. This makes a mid sleeper a clever option for children who are beginning to show an interest in their academic and homework pursuits.

Children's mid sleepers are often equipped with built-in storage, which can give your children more room to spread out and relax. These beds usually include an armoire, pullout desk or extensive shelving which can be used to store all sorts of things like books and toys. Certain models, such as the Julian Bowen Skye Playhouse childrens mid cabin bed Sleeper, are designed to look like homes or knight's castles that kids can decorate with curtains and windows for an exciting touch.

Most mid-sleepers for children will have stairs or a ladder that allows them to reach the platform for sleeping above. They're designed with wide treads and guardrails to allow young children to climb. It is always recommended to be a vigilant observer of your child while they use the stairs or ladder to ensure that they adhere to safety guidelines and don't try to climb up in a hurry! There are also single mid sleepers which do not require a ladder or steps at all. This will give a more sleek smaller, more compact appearance.

Mattress

There's plenty to love about a mid-sleeper small single. The vibrant designs and fun features of these beds captivate the imagination of children and allow them to drift into dreamland with ease. They are also an excellent option when you're struggling to squeeze in drawers or wardrobe spaces, as most come with built-in under-bed storage solutions. If it's open cabinets ready for totes or neat and tidy drawers that have smooth, no-wobble operation the extra space beneath the mattress could be perfect for a low-level storage system that will grow with your child's.

The kind of mattress you choose depends largely on your sleeper's preferred sleeping position, with a softer feel better suited to people who sleep on their sides and in front than a more firm one. There are mattresses that have added advantages such as anti-dustmite treatments and cooling qualities to ensure a healthy and restful sleep. Some of these mattresses are able to accommodate desks that pull out to can be used as study areas. They can be a lifesaver if you're struggling to clear the floor in your child's bedroom and allow them to do their homework at the same time.

Many of the mattresses that we sell for mid sleeper cabin beds can be packed with vacuum to make delivery easier, which reduces their size to just a fraction of their original size to allow simpler manoeuvre around your home after arriving. This is a great option for those with back or joint problems and are worried about the hassle of moving a large bed.

Some of our mid-sleeper beds can be converted into a day bed and a bunk bed using optional conversion kits which allow them to change as your child grows. This is ideal for families that might require a bedroom for a prolonged period of time. The Kidsaw Urban Midsleeper 1 for example, is a classic white-and-birch bed that can be converted into loft beds or a single bed that has a ladder. Alternatively, the Julian Bown Skye Playhouse Midsleeper is a style dream that is designed to resemble a castle or house and is able to be given an individual touch by adding curtains and twinkly lights as well as removable stickers.

Under-bed Storage

A big draw of mid-sleeper cabin beds is that they offer many clever storage options. They are typically just a few centimeters off the ground in contrast to high sleeper bunk beds that are very high. This leaves plenty of room underneath for furniture and other useful features. Drawers are the most obvious solution for under bed storage. They can be put on either side of the bed or along its length. Some even come with space to make a table for the bed. For a neat and seamless look, search for drawers that have been made to fit seamlessly into the divan base.

Woven drawers and baskets made from natural materials are an additional under-bed storage solution worth taking into consideration. Woven fibres circulate air and prevent dampness and musty odors. They keep the items fresh and secure. A storage bag that is vacuum-packed is ideal for items that need to be stored away for a longer period of time. It will eliminate all air and allow you to fit in more.

You can also choose a stylish, purpose-designed small single cabin bed that has built-in cabinets and drawers. They will not only use your space under the bed to the maximum, but they'll also keep things neat and tidy. Drawer systems that feature smooth, non-wobble runners will help you avoid jamming. If you decide to go with a wood model for your home, choose a painted finish to match the style of the room.

It's also worth looking out for mid-sleeper cabin beds with pull-out desks if study is your top priority. They'll not only provide your children a comfy place to work from or hang out with friends, but they'll make the most of the space in their bedroom too. Select options that include chairs to make the most of this feature.

Design

A single mid-sleeper is a great option for kids who like to climb and explore. These beds are usually constructed of solid hardwoods and they come with ladders that meet strict safety standards. Be sure to look for designs that include guard rails on the sides of the bed or use a bunk system to prevent entrapment hazards. Some beds also have a protective net over the mattress to give you peace of mind.

The majority of children's beds are designed for children aged six years or older. They are designed with bright colors that appeal to their growing imaginations. Choose a design that has shelves and a desk that can be pulled out to give you more space to studying or playing.

A lot of our designs include accessories like tunnels, tents and pocket organizers that help keep the bedroom neat and organised. The Pino wooden mid-sleeper with curtain for instance is available in three frames and 9 curtains for the bed. These range from neutrals to themed styles such as princesses and unicorns.

In the same way, some of our loft or single midi cabin bed beds can be transformed into a day bed or bunk bed with the help of an optional conversion kit (sold separately). This lets your child alter the room depending on their needs. If you're considering a convertible single cabin bed, look for a sturdy structure that can accommodate an adult weight limit of 80kg's.

If you're considering introducing an individual mid-sleeper small double mid sleeper single in a shared space you should consider an uncluttered style that can be altered to accommodate different preferences. You can paint the walls a fresh shade of grey or blue duck egg to create a backdrop for bedding or furniture that can be easily restyled in purple, pink or red.

If you're planning to add the single cabin bed as a bedroom for your child, consider opting for one that has an integrated wardrobe. This saves the floor space and makes it easier for your child to keep their clothing neatly 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.
