Mid Sleeper Beds
Mid sleepers are lower to the ground than a high sleeper and have a shorter ladder or staircase so are great for younger children. They also have space underneath for storage, desks or spare beds, as well as play areas.
Many cabin beds include a fantastic under-bed tent with various themes and colors. They are popular with kids and can be used to make their own den or chill out zone.
Size
Despite their name, mid sleepers are actually lower than high sleeper cabin beds, and therefore are better suited to children of all ages. They're also suitable for bedrooms with smaller spaces since they don't occupy the same amount of space as a conventional single bed.
They share many of the great features as a high sleeper but at a more comfortable sleeping height. This means that your child will be in a safe and secure bed while still having access to the play area under their mattress.
Mid sleeper beds are available in many exciting designs that will stimulate creativity and make the transition from their old bed to the new one enjoyable. There are many designs that come with an area for children to play and sleep in or even a desk for homework or studying. Many designs also include trundle drawers, or a pull-out bed that can be used by guests to stay.
A mid-sleeper of good quality can also offer a range of storage options that will aid your child in keeping their room tidy and organised. They could include drawers, shelves or cupboards for books and toys. Some even have a desk area with a pull-out table for studying and homework. The Trasman Mid Sleeper Cabin bed is an excellent example, since it has all of these features.
For older children, a mid sleeper with a desk could provide them with a perfect place to relax and focus on their favourite hobbies while getting enough sleep. Some designs have a fun slide which can be a fun addition to the bedroom and allow them to slide up and down with friends at play time or when they're having an evening slumber party. It will certainly be the envy of all their friends! The majority of our high and mid sleeper beds are designed with longevity in mind, and can be upgraded to your needs as your child grows up. This feature is standard on all Lifetime Kids furniture, so your child can be comfortable in their mid or high sleeper for a long time into their teens.
Style
A mid-sleeper is a cabin bed that sits at a higher level than high sleepers or bunks but lower than a loft bed. This is perfect for children who require a little more headroom but still like the practical features of a high-sleeper such as a shelf and desk.
They are available in a wide range of styles so you can be assured that no matter what your child's interests are, there's a design to suit them. Some are simply normal beds that have different colours or designs on the frame, while others come with amusing features like tents, desks and storage for books. There's even a design where the ladder can be put on either side of the bed to ensure it's easy to find the way up!
Some high- and mid-sleeper beds include additional furniture, such as the pull-out bed for a chair or desk for guests to sleep on. This makes the space beneath their bed an important part of their bedroom and can encourage kids to keep it tidy and clean.
If your child is a fan of fantasy, they'll love the idea of having a room under their bed for them to hide and play in. There are designs that allow them to hang curtains or fairylights over their bedroom to create a truly magical space. There are also some that have a more neutral style that will allow your child to make use of the space for studying or just relaxing with some cushions and the addition of a lamp.
Mid and high sleeper beds are often converted to lower sizes such as a single bed when your child is ready to move on. This is a good investment in your finances because it will save you money in the end and means that your child can continue to sleep in their bed throughout their childhood, and possibly into their teens. This is an excellent option for families with more than one child, since you'll save money on purchasing two beds.
Stores
There's no doubt about the fact that kids have a lot of stuff! It's essential that they have a place to store all of their belongings, especially in a small room like one for children. That's why we have a variety of beds that come with built-in storage options that will help them organize and tidy. There are plenty of options to choose from, including single mid-sleepers with storage drawers as well as full-size high sleepers that have trundle drawers for guests.
Mid sleepers, also known as cabin beds or low bunk beds, are a great way to maximize the space in your child’s room. They're a happy medium between a standard single bed and loft beds or high sleepers and can provide lots of fun, practicality and a fantastic solution for smaller bedrooms or children who may be concerned about sleeping too high up. Mid sleeper beds can be raised higher than normal single beds to give more space for storage and even a play area.
The storage options available for these kinds of beds are varied, but could include shelving units or cubes, wardrobes, bookcases, drawers for trundles and more! Depending on the model you choose you may be able to locate one with a pull out desk which can be used for studying or homework and then put back in when it's not needed.
Many of our mid-sleeper beds are designed to suit either bedrooms for boys or girls. They can be equipped with fairy lights or tents and rock climbing walls, or even a slide to add an element of adventure! Some have a cozy space with curtains and a seat, so that your kids can curl in their reading corner with an e-book or an iced tea or a good book.
Other models, such as our Marlowe mid-sleeper bed have no storage underneath and simply feature a bookshelf at the end of the bed - perfect for creating a super cool place to read. Combine the two to create a cozy reading corner.
Safety
A mid-sleeper is an excellent alternative to a single bed, as it comes with an office that can be used to save space. This makes it possible for more floor space to be used for other uses, such as a closet, extra storage or a play space. The desk is built into the frame, which makes it safe and durable for your child. Typically, these beds also come with stairs or ladders to access them. They are available in different styles so your child will find their favourite. There are also designs with desks that are pirate themed or that look like castles!
Mid sleepers can be the ideal choice for young kids as they have the space to play, sleep and study. Most guidelines from manufacturers recommend that your child be at least 6 years old before they sleep in a mid-sleeper because of safety rules.
Both mid and high sleeping beds are similar in terms of safety. They both have a ladder that can be used to access, as well as safety panels that need to be installed. If you follow the directions and use your mid or high sleeper properly you shouldn't have any safety issues.
As with cabin beds, always ensure that carpet is laid down underneath your raised bed to reduce the risk of serious injuries if your child falls from it. Also, ensure that your child does not use the high or mid-sleeper as a climbing frame and only uses it for sleeping at night. A child's play on the ladder or climbing into bed can bunk beds for kids cause serious injuries so it is essential to ensure that your child only uses their bed to sleep.
Mid and high sleepers are great alternative to a traditional single bed. They can be incorporated into smaller bedrooms and work with rooms that have architectural flaws like low ceilings. Children love them and they're an excellent way to sleep. However, it is important to remember that they need to be at least 6 years old to sleep in one.
