Mid Sleeper Small Single
Standard bed frames cannot provide the same storage options as mid sleepers or cabin beds. Desks with pull-outs can be neatly tucked away into furniture when not being used, and shelves are available to store their ever-growing collection.
Also consider bunk beds for children with shelves that are equipped with hooks that are ideal for drinking a glass of water or reading.
Sleeping Area
The sleeping platform on the mid-sleeper is elevated above 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 comfortably - all contributing to their physical and mental well-being and health.
The small single bed is a fantastic option for children who are transitioning from cribs to beds. It provides a familiar, comfortable sleeping area and introduces elements of a adult bed that encourage independence. The elevated platform and enclosed area also encourage peace and a peaceful evening routine.
Mid sleeper cabins are designed to serve as multi-purpose spaces for your child to study, play and rest. The elevated sleeping surface is great for putting furniture like a sofa or desk underneath and the solid construction means you aren't worried about it falling over. This makes a mid-sleeper an ideal option for kids who are beginning to show interest in homework and academic pursuits.
Children's mid-sleepers are often equipped with built-in storage options that give your children more room to spread out and unwind. These beds typically have the option of a pull-out desk, chest of storage drawers or an extensive shelving system to hold toys and books. Certain models, such as the Julian Bowen Skye Playhouse mid sleeper - are even designed to resemble a home or knight's fort that kids can customize by adding curtains, windows and twinkly lights for an extra playful feature.
Most children's mid sleepers will have stairs or ladders that help them climb to the sleeping platform above. They are designed to be strong and safe, with guardrails as well as wide treads to make the climb more comfortable for children of all ages. It is always an excellent idea to watch your child when they're using the ladder or stairs to ensure they are following the safety guidelines and aren't attempting to climb up too quickly! There are also single-mid sleepers that do not require a ladder or steps at all. This will give a more sleek smaller, more compact appearance.
Mattress
A single that sleeps in the middle is a great option. Their vibrant designs and engaging features draw children's attention and help them sleep more easily. These beds are also an excellent option when you're struggling to squeeze in wardrobe or drawer storage spaces, as they are usually equipped with built-in storage under bed solutions. Whether it's open cupboards ready for totes or neat and tidy drawers with smooth, no-wobble operation, the extra space under the mattress can be ideal for adaptable low-level storage that can expand with your child.
The type of mattress you pick will be based on the sleeping position of your sleeper. A mattress with a soft feel is better for front or side sleepers, whereas a more firm mattress is better for back and stomach sleepers. You can also choose from 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 can include pull-out desks, which make a great study space. They can be a lifesaver when you are trying to clean up the room's floor and still allow them to do their homework.
Many of the mattresses we offer for mid-sleeper cabin beds are vacuum-packed to make the delivery easier. This reduces their size by a fraction making it much easier to move around your home when you arrive. This is a great option when you're concerned about lifting and moving a large bed, especially for those who have back or joint issues.
Using optional conversion kits, some of our beds that are mid-sleeper can be transformed into a daybed or a bunkbed. This lets them expand with your child. This is ideal for families who may require the same bedroom for a prolonged period of time. The Kidsaw Urban Midsleeper 1 for example, is a classic white-and-birch bed that converts into an loft-style bed or a single bed that has a ladder. Or the Julian Bown Skye Playhouse Midsleeper is a style dream built to look like 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 provide numerous storage options. They typically sit one metre off the floor unlike high sleeper or bunk beds that are to a high level. This allows plenty of space under the bed for furniture and other useful features. Drawers are the most obvious solution for under bed storage. They can be positioned on either side of the bed or along the length. Some even have room to make a table for the bed. Find drawers that fit seamlessly into the divan base to create a neat and seamless finish.
Another option for storage under beds is woven drawers and baskets. They are made from natural materials. Woven fibres circulate air and prevent dampness and musty odors. They keep the items fresh and secure. A vacuum-packed storage bag is ideal for items that need to be kept for a longer period of time. It will eliminate any air and let you fit in more.
You could also consider a stylish, purpose-designed small single cabin bed that has built-in cabinets and drawers. These will not only make use of the space under your bed to the maximum, but they also help keep things organized and tidy. Drawer systems that have smooth, no-wobble runners are a must particularly if you wish to prevent them from jamming. If you choose a wood model, choose a painted finish that coordinates with the rest of your room's decor.
It's also worth looking out for cabin beds that sleep mid-sleep with pull-out desks if study is your top priority. Not only will these give your children a cozy place to work from or hang out with family, but they'll make the most of the space in their bedroom too. Consider options that include chairs to make the most of this useful feature.
Design
A single mid-sleeper is a great choice for kids who enjoy climbing and exploring. They're typically made of solid hardwoods and include ladders that meet stringent safety standards. Find designs that have guard rails on the sides of the bed or a bunk system to prevent dangers of entrapment. Some beds offer a protective mesh on top of the mattress to provide you with extra security.
The majority of cabin beds for children are designed for six year older or more and are adorned with bright colors that appeal to their growing imaginations. You can also choose designs that have shelves and a pull-out desk to provide extra space for study or play.
A lot of the designs in our range are available with a range of accessories, such as tents tunnels, and pocket organizers which help keep their bedrooms tidy and organized. The Pino wooden mid-sleeper with curtain, for example is available in 3 frame colours and 9 different curtain styles for your bed. They vary from neutrals to themed designs such as unicorns and princesses.
Similar to that, a few of our single cabins or loft beds can be transformed into a bunk or day bed with the help of an optional conversion kit (sold separately). This allows your child the freedom to adapt their space to their interests and preferences. If you're thinking of a convertible single cabin bed, opt for a sturdy structure that can support a maximum weight for adults of 80kg's.
Think about a neutral design to accommodate a variety of tastes when introducing a mid-sleeper small single in a shared bedroom. Paint the walls with a fresh coat of grey or duck egg blue to create a backdrop that is easily changed by adding furniture and bedding in pink, purple, red or any other hue your child is fond of.
If white midi bed considering introducing the single cabin bed as a bedroom for your child, think about choosing one with an integrated wardrobe built in. This will save space on the floor, and will make it easier for your child's clothing to be organised. Our Julian Bowen Stella and Cookie mid sleeper models have side drawers that offer plenty of storage space for books, toys and other bits and bobs.
