Mid Sleeper Small Single
Standard bed frames do not offer the same storage options as mid sleepers or cabin beds. Consider options such as desks that are pull-out and can be pushed neatly into furniture when not in use, as well as ample shelving to accommodate their ever-growing assortment of games and toys.
You can also consider bunk beds for kids with shelves that are equipped with hooks - ideal for drinking a glass of water or a book.
Sleeping Area
The sleeping platform on the mid-sleeper is elevated above the ground, and often has sides to create a secure and secure environment that promotes good posture for sleep and spinal alignment. This helps children sleep longer, longer and more peacefully, all contributing to their physical and mental health and well-being.
The mid sleeper small single bed is an excellent choice for children who are transitioning from cribs to beds. It offers a familiar space for sleeping that is comfortable and introduces elements of an adult bed that promote independence. The elevated platform and enclosed area will also promote the relaxation and a tranquil routine at night.
Mid-sleeper cabin beds are designed to be multifunctional play, study and sleeping spaces for your children. The elevated sleeping surface is perfect to place furniture such as tables or sofas on top and the solid construction means you aren't worried about it falling through. This makes a mid sleeper an ideal option for kids who are beginning to show interest in their academic and homework pursuits.
Mid-sleeper beds for children can come with built-in storage that can give your children more room to sprawl out and unwind. These beds usually include drawers in the chest, a shelves that can be pulled out or a pull-out desk that can hold all kinds of things like books and toys. Some models, like the Julian Bowen Skye Playhouse mid sleeper - are designed to resemble a home or knight's fort that kids can customize by adding curtains, windows and twinkly lights for an extra fun feature.
Most mid-sleepers for children will have an stairway or ladder that aids in reaching the sleeping platform above. They are constructed with wide treads and guardrails to make it easier for young children to climb. It's always recommended to be a vigilant observer of your child while they use the ladder or stairs to ensure that they follow the safety guidelines and aren't attempting to get up too high too quickly! There are also single mid sleepers that don't require ladders or stairs at all to give a more sleek and compact look.
Mattress
A mid sleeper single is a great choice. The bold designs and fun features of these beds captivate the imagination of children, allowing them to drift into dreamland with ease. Most of these beds have built-in storage under the bed which is an excellent option when you're struggling to make room to store a wardrobe or drawers. The extra space beneath your mattress can be used to store low-level items that will grow with your child. It could be open cabinets for bags, or drawers that are tidy and neat with smooth, non-slip operation.
The kind of mattress you pick depends largely on your sleeper's preferred sleeping position, with a softer feel better suited to front and side sleepers than a firmer one. There are also mattresses that have added advantages like anti-dustmite treatments and cooling qualities to promote healthy sleep. Some of these beds are able to accommodate desks that pull out to provide a perfect study space. These can be a lifesaver when you are trying to tidy the floor of your child's bedroom and still allow them to complete their homework.

This is a great solution for those with joint or back issues and are concerned about the hassle of moving a large bed.
Some of our mid sleeper beds can be transformed into a daybed and a bunk bed using optional conversion kits, allowing them to adapt as your child develops. This is ideal for families that might require a bedroom for a prolonged period of time. For example, the Kidsaw Urban Midsleeper 1 is an iconic white and birch bed that converts into a loft-style bunk or a standard single bed with an incline. Or the Julian Bown Skye Playhouse Midsleeper is a style dream made to look like the appearance of a castle or home, and can be given personal touches with curtains, twinkly lights or removable stickers.
Under-bed Storage
Mid sleeper cabin beds are very popular as they offer a lot of storage options. They are usually just one meter off the floor in contrast to high sleeper bunk beds that are raised very high. This leaves plenty of space under the bed for furniture and other useful features. Drawers are the best solution for under bed storage. They can be put on either side of the bed or along its length. Some even come with space for a bedside table. For a sleek and seamless look, search for drawers that are made to fit seamlessly into the divan base.
Another option for under-bed storage is woven baskets and drawers. These are made of natural materials. Woven fibres let air circulate and prevent dampness or musty odours from keeping stored items fresh and secure. A vacuum-packed storage bag is perfect for items that will be stored away for a longer time. It will take out all air and let you fit in more.
You can also pick small cabin beds with drawers and cabinets built in. These beds will not only maximize your space under the bed, but will also keep everything neat and tidy. Drawer systems that have smooth, no-wobble runners will aid in avoiding jamming. If you opt for a wooden model, choose an attractive painted finish that is in sync with the rest of your room's decor.
It's also worth looking out for mid sleeper cabin beds with pull-out desks if study is a priority. These beds won't just give your kids a comfortable space to study or to chat with their friends, but they'll also free up space in their bedrooms. Pick a set that has chairs to get the most benefit of this feature.
Design
A single mid-sleeper is a great option for kids who love to climb and explore. These beds are usually constructed of solid hardwoods and are equipped with ladders that meet the strict 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 also have a net of protection over the mattress to provide peace of mind.
The majority of children's cabin beds are aimed at six year older or more and are adorned with bold colourways that appeal to their naiveté. Find a style with shelving and a pull-out desk to give you more space to play or study.
Many of the designs we have in our collection are available with a selection of accessories, such as tents pockets organisers, and tunnels that help to keep their bedroom tidy and organized. The Pino wooden mid-sleeper with curtains for example, is available in 3 frames and 9 curtains for the bed. These are available in neutral to themed designs such as princesses and unicorns.

Similarly, some of our single cabins or loft beds can be converted into a bunk or day bed using an optional conversion kit (sold separately). This allows your child to adapt the space depending on their needs. If you're thinking of a convertible single cabin bed, look for a sturdy structure that can support a maximum weight for adults of 80kg's.
Choose a neutral look to accommodate different tastes when introducing a mid-sleeper small single in a shared bedroom. You could paint the walls with a new shade of grey or blue duck egg to create a backdrop for bedding and furniture that can be easily styled with a variety of colors, including purple, pink or red.
If you're introducing the single cabin bed as a bedroom for your child, you should consider choosing one with an integrated wardrobe built in. This will save floor space and allows your child to keep their clothes neatly organized. Julian Bowen Cookie and Stella mid sleeper models have side drawers that can be used to store books, toys and other bits and pieces.
