Mid Sleeper Small Single
Children's mid sleepers and cabin beds provide a variety of storage options that standard bed frames simply can't. Desks with pull-outs can be easily tucked into furniture when not being used, and shelves are available to store their ever-growing collection.

Sleeping Area
The sleeping platform of a mid sleeper is elevated off the ground, often with sides to create a secure and secure space that encourages good posture for sleep and spinal alignment. This allows children to sleep longer, more comfortably and more peacefully, all of which contribute to their mental and physical well-being and health.
The small single bed is a great option for children who are transitioning from cribs to beds. It provides a familiar space for sleeping that is comfortable and introduces elements of an adult bed that promote independence. The elevated platform and enclosed area will also promote the relaxation and a tranquil nighttime routine.
