Mid Sleeper Small Single
Standard bed frames do not offer the same storage options as mid sleepers or cabin beds. Desks that can be pulled out can be easily tucked into furniture when not in use, and shelves are available to store their ever-growing collection.
Also consider children's cabin beds with handy hooks on shelves - ideal for a book or drink of water.
Sleeping Area
The platform for sleeping on a mid sleeper is elevated from the ground, often with sides to create a secure and secure space that encourages healthy sleep posture and spinal alignment. This allows children to sleep better, longer and more comfortably. It also improves their physical and mental well-being.
The small, mid-sleeper bed is an excellent choice for children who are transitioning from cribs to beds. It offers a comfortable bed that is comfortable and introduces elements of a bed for adults that promote independence. The elevated platform and enclosed space also encourages relaxation and a calm bedtime routine, helping them relax for a peaceful night's rest.
Mid sleeper cabins are designed to be multi-purpose spaces for children to play, study and rest. The elevated sleeping surface allows you to place furniture like an office or a sofa under. It is also sturdy and there's no need to worry about it falling. This makes a mid-sleeper an ideal choice for children who are beginning to show an interest in academic and homework pursuits.
Mid-sized beds for children may have built-in storage and give your child more room to unwind and spread out. These beds often include the option of a pull-out desk, a chest of drawers for storage, or extensive shelving to accommodate books and toys. Some models, like the Julian Bowen Skye Playhouse mid sleeper - are designed to resemble a home or knight's fort that children can personalize by adding curtains, windows and twinkly lights to give an extra-fun feature.
Most children's mid sleepers will have stairs or ladders that help them climb to the platform that is above their bed. They are constructed with wide treads and guardrails to allow young children to climb. It's always a good idea to supervise your child while they use the stairs or ladder to ensure that they adhere to the safety guidelines and aren't attempting to climb up too quickly! There are also single mid sleepers that don't require ladders or any stairs at all, for a sleeker, more compact look.
Mattress
There's plenty to love about a mid sleeper small single. Their vibrant designs and engaging features entice children's imagination and help them drift off to a dream more quickly. They are also an excellent option when you're struggling to squeeze in wardrobe or drawer storage spaces, since most come with built-in under-bed storage solutions. Open cupboards that are ready to be filled with bags or neat and tidy drawers with smooth, no-wobble operation, the extra space under the mattress can be ideal for a low-level storage system that can grow with your child's.
The type of mattress you pick will be based on the sleeping position of your sleeper. mid bunk bed is better for side or front sleepers, whereas a more firm mattress is more suitable for stomach and back sleepers. You can also find several mattresses that have additional benefits, like anti-dust mite treatments and cooling properties that help to encourage a healthy sleep. Some of these beds are able to accommodate desks that pull out to provide a perfect study space. They can be a lifesaver for those trying to clean the floor in your children's room and let them continue their homework while they study.
Many of the mattresses we sell for mid-sleeper cabin beds are vacuum-packed to make the delivery more convenient. This reduces the size of the bed by a significant amount and makes it easier to move around your home after arriving. This is a great option if you're worried about lifting and moving such an enormous bed, particularly for those with joint or back issues.
By converting them with optional kits, a few of our beds that are mid-sleeper can be transformed into a daybed or a bunkbed. This lets them grow with your child. This is ideal for families that may need to use the same bedroom for a long period of time. For example the Kidsaw Urban Midsleeper 1 is an iconic white and birch bed that can be converted into a loft-style bunk or a standard single bed with the ladder. The Julian Bown Skye Midsleeper, a design dream that looks like a castle, can be customized with curtains, twinkling lights or removable stickers.
Under-bed Storage
One of the main benefits of mid-sleeper cabin beds is that they provide numerous storage options. Contrary to high-sleeper and bunk beds which are elevated to a high level they are typically about one metre from the floor - leaving plenty of room underneath to put furniture and other practical features. Drawers are the most obvious option for storage under the bed. These can run the full length of the bed, and be placed on either side or be used as bedside tables. Look out for drawers that are able to fit into the divan base to create a neat and seamless finish.
Woven baskets and drawers constructed of natural materials are a different under bed storage option worth taking into consideration. Woven fibres let air circulate and prevent dampness or musty odours, keeping the items stored fresh and safe. A storage bag that is vacuum-packed is perfect for items that are kept for a longer period of time. It will remove all air and allow you to fit in more.
You could also opt for a stylish, purpose-designed small single cabin bed that has built-in cabinets and drawers. These will not only make use of your space under the bed to the fullest, but they'll also keep things neat and tidy. Drawer systems with smooth, non-wobble runners can aid in avoiding jamming. If you opt for a wooden model for your home, opt for an oiled finish that is in line with the style of the room.
If you are a student, it's worth looking for mid-sleeper cabin beds that have pull out desks. These beds won't just provide your children with a comfortable place to do their homework or spend time chatting with friends, but they'll also free up space in their bedrooms. Choose options that come with chairs to get the most out of this feature.
Design
A single bed is a great choice for kids who like to climb and explore. They're often crafted from solid hardwoods and include ladders that meet strict safety standards. Find designs that have guard rails on the sides of the mattress or bunk beds to avoid dangers of entrapment. Certain beds include a safety mesh on top of the mattress to provide you with extra peace of mind.
The majority of children's beds are designed for children aged six and over and are adorned with bright colors that appeal to their growing imaginations. Look for a design with shelves and a pull-out desk that give you more space to play or studying.
A lot of our designs come with accessories such as tunnels, tents, and pockets organizers to keep your bedroom neat and organised. The Pino wooden mid-sleeper with curtains for example, is available in 3 frame colors and 9 curtain styles for your bed. They range from neutrals to themed styles such as princesses and unicorns.
Similarly, some of our single cabin or loft beds can be transformed into bunk beds or a day bed with the help of an optional conversion kit (sold separately). This allows your child to modify the space depending on their needs. If you're thinking about a single convertible cabin bed make sure you choose a sturdy design capable of supporting an adult weight limit up to 80kg.
If you're planning to introduce a single mid sleeper small single in a shared space you should consider a neutral design that can be altered to accommodate a variety of preferences. You can paint the walls with a new shade of grey or a duck-egg blue to create a backdrop for bedding or furniture that can be easily restyled with a variety of colors, including purple, pink or red.
Consider choosing a cabin bed that has an integrated wardrobe if planning to introduce one into your child's bedroom. This will save space on the floor and allows your child to keep their clothes neatly organised. Our Julian Bowen Stella and Cookie mid sleeper models come with side drawers that offer plenty of storage space for toys, books as well as other items.
