Mid Sleeper Beds
Mid sleepers are lower to ground than a high sleeper and have a smaller staircase or ladder, so they are ideal for children who are younger. They have plenty of room underneath for desks, storage and spare beds.
A lot of cabin beds have a fantastic under-bed tent with a variety of themes and colors. These are very popular with kids and can be used as a den or chill-out zone.
Size
Despite their name they are lower to the ground than high sleeper cabin beds and so are more suitable for children of all different ages. They are also ideal for bedrooms that are smaller, since they require less floor space than the standard single.
They offer many of the same advantages of a high-sleeper but at a higher, more comfortable height. This means your child can stay secure and safe at night while having access to a play area beneath their mattress.
What's great is that mid-sleeper beds typically come in a variety of thrilling designs to inspire creativity and make the transition from their old bed fun. There are plenty of designs that have a tent for kids to play and sleep in or even a desk for homework and studying.

A mid-sleeper is a cabin bed that sits at a higher level than a bunk or high sleeper but lower than a loft bed. This is perfect for children who need a bit more headroom but still like the practical aspects of a high-sleeper like a shelf or desk.
These beds come in a variety of styles, so you can be sure that no matter what your child's interests are, there will be a design to suit them. Some are simply normal beds with different colors or patterns on the frame. While others feature amusing features like desks, tents and book storage. There's even a design that allows the ladder can be fixed on either side of the bed, so it's easy to find the way up!
Some mid and high sleeper beds also have extra furniture, such as the desk or a pull out chairs for guests to sleep over on. This makes the space beneath their bed an actual feature of their bedroom and can really encourage kids to keep their room clean, tidy and organised.
If your child loves to play with toys, they will love having a den underneath their bed. You can find designs that let them hang curtains or fairylights over their bedroom to create a truly magical space. Certain designs are more neutral and allow your child to utilize it for studying or relaxing.
Both high and mid sleeper beds can often be transformed into smaller formats, like single beds when your child is ready to move on. This is an excellent investment as it can save you money in the long run and your child can use their bed of choice throughout their childhood, and even into their teens. This is a great option for families with more than one child since you'll save money by purchasing two separate beds.
Stores
Kids have lots! It's crucial that they have somewhere to store it all, especially in a room as small as a child's bedroom. That's why we have a wide range of beds that come with built-in storage options to help them organize and tidy. From single mid-sleepers with storage drawers, to full size high-sleepers with trundle drawers to provide additional sleeping space for guests who are staying with you, there's bound to be a solution that will meet your needs.
Mid sleepers, also known as cabin beds or low bunk beds, are an excellent way to make the most of the space of your child's room. They can be a great alternative to one bed and high or loft sleeper beds. They offer a lot of fun and practicality, and are a great option for children with smaller bedrooms or who worry about sleeping too high. Because of their low elevation, mid sleeper beds are often raised off the ground in order to provide storage space or even an area to play in underneath.
These beds come with a range of storage options, such as cube or shelving units as well as wardrobes, bookcases and trundle drawers. Depending on the model you select you may be able to find a bed with a pull out desk which can be used for homework or studying and then returned when it's not needed.
A lot of our beds for mid-sleepers are designed to fit girls or boys bedrooms. Some have tents with fairy lights, rock-climbing walls or slides to add a sense of adventure. Some even have a cozy den underneath complete with curtains or a chair so your children can curl up with a good book or a coffee or tea, and relax in their own reading bunk beds area.
Some models, like our Marlowe mid-sleeper bed, are designed without storage underneath and have shelves at the bottom of the mattress - perfect to create a fantastic area to read and relax. Add some bean bags and they can create a comfortable reading space with a warm and cozy feeling.
Safety
A mid-sleeper is an excellent alternative to a single bed, as it has a desk that saves space. This frees up floor space that can be used for useful purposes like a wardrobe additional storage, or even a play zone. The desk will be integrated into the frame of the bed which ensures it's sturdy and safe for your child to use. The beds are usually equipped with ladders or steps to allow easy access. They are also available in various styles, so your child can choose their favorite. There are designs with a pirate desk or castle-themed ones!
Mid sleepers can be an ideal option for younger children because they offer the space to play, sleep and study. However, most guidelines from manufacturers suggest that your child should be 6 years or older before sleeping in a mid-sleeper because of safety standards.
Both mid and high sleeper beds are similar in terms of safety since they both have a ladder for access and safety panels that have to be fitted. However, if you follow the directions for assembly and use your mid or high sleeper properly, there shouldn't be any safety concerns.
Like cabin beds, you should ensure that carpet is laid down underneath your raised bed to reduce the risk of significant injuries if your child falls from it. Also, ensure that your child does not use the high or mid-sleeper as a climbing platform and only uses it for sleeping at night. Playing on the ladder or climbing into bed could cause serious injuries, so it's important to make sure that your child is using their bed to sleep.
Mid and high sleepers make a great alternative to a standard single bed. They can fit into smaller bedrooms and work well in rooms with architectural flaws like low ceilings. They're a great novelty for kids and provide an exciting way to ensure they get a good night's sleep, but it's important to remember that your child needs to be at least six years old before they can sleep in one.
