Mid Sleeper Beds For Kids
A mid-sleeper bed is the ideal option for your child if they are too big for bunk beds or wish to maximize the space available in their bedroom. Built with desks and storage, these beds are versatile and ideal for parents.
All people of all ages can benefit from mattresses that are smaller than the frame, which means that children are unable to roll out of their bed during sleeping.
Height
A mid sleeper is a children bed that is a bit lower than the high sleeper. The beds have a raised sleeping surface, with a space below that can be used as storage, a desk or a play area. The beds are a great option for smaller rooms, offering the same amount of sleeping space as a bunk bed but taking less floor space. The beds are also perfect for children who want to share the bedroom with a partner or sibling as they can be used to accommodate two mattresses.
The size of a mid sleeper can vary depending on the design, but generally they're between 110cm and 140 cm, which is about the same height as a standard bed frame. Most of our mid-sleepers require a single mattress however some models may be suitable for a double or even a triple mattress, therefore make sure you check the product specifications before making your purchase.
Safety is always the top priority when it comes to the height an cabin bed. Our range of kids' mid-sleepers are made with safety in mind.

In addition the rails that are secured to the top of the sleeping space are higher than those on a traditional bunk bed to keep your child from slipping out during the night.
We recommend that children only use their mid sleeper to sleep and not to play or hang off the ladder, as this could increase the risk of falls and injury. We also suggest against using a mid sleeper for children who are not yet of six years, as they may have difficulty climbing up and down the stairs safely.

It is essential to ensure that the ladder or stairs have guard rails that are in compliance with safety standards and are used in a way that doesn't put you at danger of injury.

These features are popular with parents due to their ability to clear the room of clutter and create a tidy space that provides plenty of space for kids to be kids.
Mid-sleeper beds can also be used as a desk. This is a great option to help children with their assignments and homework, but it's also an excellent way to help them learn good study habits and highlight the importance of having a designated workspace. The majority of models come with a pull-out desk that can be easily tucked away when not being used, and this is especially beneficial in smaller bedrooms where optimising space is key.
