Mid Sleeper Small Single
Mid-sleepers for children and cabin beds provide a variety of storage facilities that traditional bed frames cannot. Consider options such as desks that pull out that can be pushed neatly into furniture when not in use, and plenty of shelves to accommodate their ever-growing assortment of toys and games.
Also consider children's cabin beds with hooks for shelves - ideal for reading or drinking a glass of water.
Sleeping Area
The sleeping platform of a mid-sleeper is elevated from the ground, and usually includes sides to create an environment of safety and security that promotes good sleep posture and spinal alignment. This assists children to sleep longer, better and more peacefully, all contributing to their physical and mental well-being and health.
A small single bed that is mid-sleeper is a great option for children who are transitioning from crib to bed, because it offers a comfortable and comforting sleeping area while introducing elements of a grown-up bed that encourages independence. The elevated platform and enclosed space also encourage peace and a peaceful routine at night.
Mid sleeper cabin beds are designed to be multi-purpose play, study, and sleeping spaces for your children. The raised sleeping surface allows you to put furniture like an office or a sofa under. It's also strong, so there's no need to worry about falling. A mid-sleeper is a great choice for children who have begun to show interest in academic pursuits as well as homework.
Mid-sleeper beds for children can come with built-in storage, which can provide your kids with more space to spread out and relax. These beds typically include an armoire, shelves that can be pulled out or a pull-out desk that can accommodate all sorts of things, including books and toys. Certain models, such as the Julian Bowen Skye Playhouse Mid Sleeper, are designed to look like houses or castles of knights that kids can customize with curtains and windows for an exciting touch.
Most children's mid-sleepers will have an stairway or ladder that aids in reaching the sleeping platform above. They are constructed with wide treads and guardrails that allow young children to climb. Always supervise your child while they are using the stairs or ladder to ensure they're following safety guidelines and not trying to climb too fast. There are also single mid sleepers that don't require ladders or stairs at all, for a sleeker, more compact look.
Mattress
A single that sleeps in the middle is a good choice. The bold designs and fun features of these beds captivate the imagination of children and let them drift into dreamland with ease. They are also an ideal option if you're struggling to fit into drawer or wardrobe storage spaces, as most come with built-in under bed storage solutions. The extra space under the mattress can be used to store low-level objects that will grow with your child. It can be open cupboards for bags, or drawers that are neat and tidy with a smooth, no-slip operation.
The type of mattress you select depends largely on your preference for your sleep position and comfort level. A mattress with a soft feel is better suited to people who sleep on their sides and in front as opposed to a firmer one. You can also choose from various mattresses that offer added benefits, such as anti-dust mite treatments and cooling properties that encourage a healthy sleep. Some of these beds are able to accommodate pull-out desks that offer a great study area. These can be a lifesaver when you're trying to tidy the room's floor and still let them complete their homework.
A majority of the mattresses we sell for cabin beds that are mid-sleeper size are vacuum-packed to make delivery more convenient. This reduces their size by a small amount, making it easier to move them around your home once you arrive. This is a great option when you're concerned about lifting and moving such huge beds, particularly for those with back or joint issues.
With the help of conversion kits, a few of our beds for mid-sleepers can be transformed into a daybed as well as a bunkbed. This lets them grow with your child. This is a great option for families who require the same bedroom for a prolonged period of time. For instance the Kidsaw Urban Midsleeper 1 is a classic white and birch mattress that can be transformed into a loft-style bunk or a traditional single bed with an incline. The Julian Bown Skye Midsleeper an aesthetic dream that appears like a castle, can be customized with curtains, twinkling lights or removable stickers.
Under-bed Storage
A big draw of mid sleeper cabin beds is that they come with numerous storage options. They typically sit one metre off the floor, unlike high sleeper or bunk beds that are very high. This allows plenty of space underneath for furniture and other useful features. Drawers are the best solution to storage underneath the bed. They can span the entire length of the bed, be placed on either side or be used as bedside tables. Find drawers that can be incorporated seamlessly into a divan base, to give a neat and seamless look.
Woven baskets and drawers made from natural materials are an additional under bed storage option worth taking into consideration. Woven fibers circulate air and eliminate dampness and musty smells. This keeps stored items clean and safe. For items that are stored for longer periods, a vacuum packed storage bag is a great choice since it eliminates all air which allows you to squeeze more space.
You could also opt for an attractive, purpose-built small single cabin bed with built-in drawers and cabinets. These will not only utilize your under bed space to the fullest, but they also help keep things organized and tidy. Drawer systems that feature smooth, non-wobble runners can aid in avoiding getting stuck. If you opt for a wooden model for your home, opt for an oiled finish that is in line with the style of the room.
If you are a student then you should consider mid-sleeper cabin beds that have desks that are pull-out. These beds won't just give your kids a comfortable place to do their homework or chat with friends, but they'll also help you save space in their bedrooms. Choose options that come with chairs to get the most benefit of this feature.
Design
A single, mid-sleeper is great for children who like to climb, explore and discover. They are typically constructed from 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 bed or use bunk beds to avoid dangers of entrapment. Some beds offer a protective mesh over the upper mattress to provide you with extra security.
The majority of beds for children are designed for children six and over and are adorned with vibrant colours that appeal to their expanding imaginations. You can also choose an option that has shelving and a pull out desk that can be used to play or study.
