You can also consider bunk beds for kids with shelves that are equipped with hooks – ideal for a drink of water or a book.
Sleeping Area
The platform for sleeping of the mid-sleeper is elevated from the ground and usually has sides to provide an environment that is secure and safe that encourages good posture and spinal alignment. This assists children to sleep longer, longer and more comfortably – all of which contribute to their mental and physical health and wellbeing.

Mid-sleeper beds for children are often equipped with built-in storage that can allow your children to spread out and unwind. These beds typically have an adjustable desk, a chest of drawers for storage or extensive shelving to accommodate toys and books. Some models – like the Julian Bowen Skye playhouse mid sleeper (look these up) – are designed to look like a house or knight’s fort that kids can personalize by adding curtains, windows and twinkly lights for an extra-fun touch.
Most children’s mid-sleepers will have a ladder or stairway that allows them to reach the platform that sleeps above. They’re designed with wide treads and guardrails that allow young children to climb. You should always supervise your child whenever they use the ladder or stairs to ensure that they are following safety guidelines and are not trying to climb too fast. There are also single-mid sleepers that don’t require a ladder or stairs at all for a sleeker and more compact look.
Mattress
There’s a lot to like about a mid sleeper compact single. Their striking designs and exciting features capture children’s imagination and help them drift off to a dream more easily. The majority of these beds come with built-in storage beneath the bed which is a great option if you are struggling to make room to store a wardrobe or drawers. If it’s open cabinets ready for totes or neat and tidy drawers with smooth, non-wobble operation, the extra space beneath the mattress can be ideal for storage that is movable and low-level that can grow with your child’s.
The kind of mattress you choose depends largely on your preference for your sleep position and comfort level. A mattress with a soft feel is ideal for people who sleep on their sides and in front as opposed to a firmer one. You can also find various mattresses that offer additional benefits, like anti-dust mite treatments and cooling properties that encourage a healthy sleep. Some of these mattresses are able to accommodate desks that pull out to offer a great study area. These can be a lifesaver when you’re trying to tidy the carpet in your child’s bedroom and still allow them to complete their work.
Many of the mattresses we sell for cabin beds for mid-sleepers are vacuum-packed to make the delivery more convenient.

Some of our mid-sleeper beds can be made to a day bed or bunk bed by using conversion kits, allowing them to adapt as your child develops.

The Julian Bown Skye Midsleeper a design dream that looks like the castle, is customized with curtains, twinkling lights or removable stickers.
Under-bed Storage
One of the main benefits of mid sleeper cabin beds is that they offer many clever storage options. Contrary to high-sleeper and bunk beds, which are elevated to a high level they usually sit just a few centimetres from the floor, leaving plenty of space beneath to put furniture and other features. Drawers are the best option for storage under the bed. These can run the full length of the bed, be placed at either end, or even incorporate a space for bedside tables. For a neat and seamless look, search for drawers that have been designed to fit seamlessly into the divan base.
Woven drawers and baskets made from natural materials are an additional under-bed storage option worth considering. Woven fibres circulate air, preventing dampness and musty smells. This keeps stored items fresh and secure. A storage bag that is vacuum-packed is ideal for items that are stored for a longer time. It will remove all air and allow you to squeeze in more.
You can also choose an attractive, purpose-built small single cabin bed with built-in cabinets and drawers. They will not only use your under bed space to the max, they’ll also keep things organized and tidy. Drawer systems with smooth, non-wobble runners can assist you in avoiding jamming. If you select a wooden mid sleeper cabin bed model, make sure you choose a painted finish that coordinates with the rest of your room decor.
It’s also worth looking for cabin beds that sleep mid-sleep with desks that pull out if studying is a priority. These will not only give your children a comfortable space to study or hang out with friends, but they’ll help you save some space in your bedroom as well. Choose options that come with chairs to make the most of this feature.
Design
A single mid sleeper is a great choice for children who like to climb and explore. They’re often crafted from solid hardwoods and come with ladders that meet stringent safety standards. You can avoid the risk of entrapment by selecting beds that have guard rails that are placed on the sides of the bed. Some beds will also include an extra net to protect the mattress to give you security.
Most children’s cabin beds are designed for six year olds or above and feature bright colors that appeal to their growing imaginations. You can also choose a design that features shelving and a pull out desk that can be used to play or study.

For example the Pino wooden heart mid sleeper sleeper with curtain is available in three frame colors and nine different under bed curtains ranging from simple neutrals to themed designs such as princesses and unicorns.
Similarly, some of our loft or single cabin beds can be transformed into a day bed or bunk bed with the help of an optional conversion kit (sold separately).
