Mid Sleeper Small Single
Children's mid-sleepers and cabin beds offer versatile storage facilities that standard bed frames simply cannot. Desks with pull-outs can be tucked neatly away into furniture when not in use and shelves are readily available to store their ever-growing collection.
Also consider bunk beds for children with shelves that have handy hooks that are ideal for a drink of water or a book.
Sleeping Area
The sleeping platform on the mid-sleeper is elevated above the ground, usually with sides to create a safe and secure environment that promotes good posture for sleep and spinal alignment. This allows children to sleep longer, longer and more comfortably - all contributing to their physical and mental health and well-being.
The mid sleeper small single bed is a fantastic option for children who are transitioning from cribs to beds. It provides a familiar space for sleeping that is comfortable and introduces elements of a bed for adults that encourage independence. The elevated platform and enclosed space also helps to promote relaxation and a peaceful bedtime routine, assisting them to get a good night's sleep.
Mid-sleeper cabin beds are designed to provide multi-purpose play, study, and sleeping areas for your children. The elevated sleeping surface is ideal to place furniture such as a sofa or desk underneath and the sturdy construction means you do not have to worry about it slipping. A mid-sleeper is a great choice for children who have begun to take an interest in academic pursuits and homework.
Mid-sleeper beds for children are often equipped with built-in storage options that give your children more room to spread out and relax. They usually come with an armoire, large shelving or a pullout desk that can hold all kinds of things, including books and toys. Some models, like the Julian Bowen Skye Playhouse mid sleeper - are even designed to look like a house or knight's fort that children can personalize by adding curtains, windows and glimmering lights for an extra playful feature.
The majority of children's mid-sleepers include stairs or ladders that help them climb to the platform they sleep on. They're designed with wide treads and guardrails that make it easier for 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 the safety guidelines and aren't attempting to climb up in a hurry! You can also get single- mid sleepers that don't require ladders or any stairs at all, for a sleeker and more compact look.
Mattress
A single with a mid-sleep position is a great option. The striking designs and exciting features of these beds captivate the imagination of children, allowing them to drift into dreamland with ease. These beds are also an excellent option for those who struggle to fit in wardrobe or drawer storage spaces, since most come with built-in under-bed storage solutions. Open cupboards that are ready for totes or neat and tidy drawers with smooth, non-wobble operation, the extra space beneath the mattress is ideal for adaptable low-level storage that will grow with your child.
The type of mattress you select will depend on the position of your sleeper. A mattress with a soft feel is best for front sleepers or side sleepers, whereas a more firm mattress is better for stomach and back sleepers. There are mattresses with additional advantages like anti-dustmite treatments as well as cooling properties to promote healthy sleep. Some of these mattresses can accommodate pull-out desks that can be used as study areas. They can be lifesavers when you're trying to clean up the carpet in your child's bedroom and still let them do their homework.
A majority of the mattresses we sell for mid-sleeper cabin beds are vacuum-packed to make delivery more convenient. This reduces the size of the bed by a significant amount, making it easier to move them around your home once you arrive. This is a great solution for those who suffer from joint or back issues and are worried about the hassle of moving a large bed.
By converting them with optional kits, a few of our beds for mid-sleepers can be transformed into a daybed and bunk beds. This lets them grow with your child. This is ideal for families who might require an entire bedroom for a lengthy period of time. For example, the Kidsaw Urban Midsleeper 1 is an iconic white and birch bed that can be converted into a loft style bunk or a standard single bed with the ladder. The Julian Bown Skye Midsleeper a design dream that looks 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 offer plenty of clever storage options. Contrary to high-sleeper and bunk beds, which are elevated to a high level they are typically at a distance of about a metre from the floor - leaving plenty of space underneath to install furniture and other features. The most obvious under-bed storage solution is the drawers. These can run the full length of the bed, and be positioned at either end or even incorporate a space for bedside tables. Find drawers that are able to fit into a divan base, to give a clean and seamless finish.
Woven baskets and drawers constructed from natural materials are an additional under-bed storage solution worth taking into consideration. Woven fibers allow air to circulate and prevent dampness or musty odours from keeping stored items fresh and safe. A storage bag that is vacuum-packed is perfect for items that will be kept for a longer time. It will take out any air and allow you to squeeze into more.
You can also choose a small cabin bed with drawers and cabinets built in. These beds will not only maximize the space underneath your bed, but they also help keep everything neat and tidy. Drawer systems with smooth, no-wobble runners will assist you in avoiding getting stuck. If you select a wooden model, make sure you choose an aesthetically pleasing finish that blends with the rest of the interior decor.
It's also worth looking out for mid-sleeper cabin beds with pull-out desks if study is a top priority. These will not only give your children a comfortable place to do homework or have a chat with their friends, but they'll save you some much needed space in your bedroom as well. Find options that have chairs to make the most of this practical feature.
Design
A single bed is a great choice for kids who enjoy climbing and exploring. They're often crafted from solid hardwoods, and are equipped with ladders that meet stringent safety standards. Look for designs that include guard rails on both sides of the upper mattress or bunk beds to avoid entrapment hazards. Some beds offer a protective mesh on top of the mattress to give you extra peace of mind.
The majority of children's cabin beds are designed for six year olds and above. They feature bold colourways that appeal to their naiveté. You can also choose a design that features shelving and a pull out desk to provide extra space to play or study.
Many of the designs we offer are available with a selection of accessories like tents, pockets organisers, and tunnels that help to keep their bedrooms tidy and organized. For example, the Pino wooden mid-sleeper with curtain is available in three frame colors and nine different under bed curtains ranging from simple neutrals to themed styles such as princesses and unicorns.
A conversion kit is available separately to convert some of our loft beds or single cabins into a bunk bed or day bed. This allows your child to adapt their space to their interests and preferences. If you are considering a single convertible cabin bed make sure you choose a sturdy design that can support adults with a weight limit of up to 80kg.
If you're introducing a single mid sleeper small single to a shared room, consider opting for an uncluttered style that can be altered to accommodate a variety of tastes. You can paint the walls with a new shade of grey or a duck-egg blue to create a backdrop for bedding or furniture that can be easily styled with a variety of colors, including purple, pink or red.
Consider choosing a bed that has an integrated wardrobe if introducing one to your child's bedroom. This reduces space on the floor and allows your child to keep their clothes neatly organized. Julian Bowen Cookie and Stella mid sleeper models come with side drawers that can be used to store books, toys as well as other pieces of furniture.
