Mid-sleepers for kids can come with storage built-in, giving your child more space to relax and spread out. They usually come with an adjustable desk, a chest of drawers for storage, or an extensive shelving system to hold toys and books.

Most mid sleepers for children feature ladders or stairs that aid in climbing to the platform they sleep on. They are constructed with wide treads and guardrails to allow young children to climb. You should always supervise your child whenever they are using the ladder or stairs to ensure they are following safety guidelines and not trying to climb too quickly. There are also single-mid sleepers which don't need a ladder or any stairs at all, to give a more sleek and compact appearance.

Under-bed Storage
Mid sleeper cabin beds are very popular as they offer a lot of clever storage options. Contrary to high-sleeper and bunk beds that are raised to an extremely high level, they typically only sit at a distance of about a metre from the floor - leaving plenty of space underneath to put furniture and other features. Drawers are the best solution for under bed storage. These can run the full length of the bed, and be positioned at either end or be used as bedside tables. Be sure to look for drawers that can be incorporated seamlessly into the 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 fibres allow air to circulate and prevent dampness or musty odours from keeping items in good condition and safe.
