Mid Sleeper Small Single
Standard bed frames cannot provide the same storage options as mid sleepers or cabin beds. Consider options like pull out desks that can be easily tucked into the furniture when they are not in use, and plenty of shelves to accommodate their ever-growing collection of toys and games.
Also consider children's cabin beds with hooks for shelves - ideal to read or pour a glass of water.
Sleeping Area
The sleeping platform of the mid-sleeper is elevated from the ground and often has sides to create a secure and safe environment that promotes good sleep posture and spinal alignment. This helps children sleep longer, better and more comfortably - all of which contribute to their mental and physical health and wellbeing.
The mid sleeper small single bed is a fantastic option for children who are transitioning from cribs to beds. It offers a familiar bed that is comfortable and introduces elements of a adult bed that encourage independence. The elevated platform and enclosed space also provides a relaxing and peaceful bedtime routine, helping them get a good night's sleep.
Mid-sleeper cabin beds are designed to provide multi-purpose play, study and sleep spaces for your children. The elevated sleeping surface allows you to put furniture like an office or a sofa under. It is also sturdy and doesn't need to worry about falling. This makes a sleeper that is mid-sleeper an ideal option for kids who are beginning to show an interest in homework and academic pursuits.
Mid-sized beds for children may come with storage built-in and give your child more room to relax and spread out. They usually come with a pullout desk, chest of storage drawers or extensive shelving to accommodate books and toys. Certain models, such as the Julian Bowen Skye Playhouse Mid Sleeper, are designed to resemble houses or castles for knights that children can personalize with curtains and windows for fun.
The majority of children's mid-sleepers include stairs or ladders that help them climb to the platform they sleep on. They are designed to be sturdy and safe, with guardrails and wide treads to make climbing easier for children who are younger. Always supervise your child whenever they use the ladder or stairs to ensure they are following safety guidelines and not trying to climb too fast. You can also buy single mid sleepers which don't require ladders or steps at all. This will give a more sleek, more compact look.
Mattress
There's plenty to love about a mid-sleeper small single. Their striking designs and exciting features draw children's attention, helping them to drift off to a dream more easily.

The type of mattress that you select will depend on the sleeping position of your sleeper. A mattress with a soft feel is best for side or front sleepers, whereas a firmer mattress is more suitable for stomach and back sleepers. There is also a range of mattresses with added benefits, such as anti-dust mite treatments and cooling properties that promote healthy rest. Some of these mattresses can accommodate desks that pull out to provide a perfect study space. They can be lifesavers when you are trying to clean up the floor of your child's bedroom and still let them complete their homework.

The Kidsaw Urban Midsleeper 1 for example is a classic white-and-birch bed that can be converted into loft beds or a single bed with a ladder. Alternatively, the Julian Bown Skye Playhouse Midsleeper is a design dream made to look like an old castle or a house and is able to be given a personal touch with curtains and twinkly lights as well as removable stickers.
Under-bed Storage
A big draw of mid sleeper cabin bed s is that they offer many clever storage options. They are typically just a few centimeters off the ground in contrast to high sleeper bunk beds that are very high. This leaves plenty of space under the bed for furniture and other useful features. The most obvious under bed storage solution is the drawers. These can run the full length of the bed, be placed on either side or incorporate a space for tables to sit on at night. Look out for drawers that fit seamlessly into the divan base to give a neat and seamless finish.
Woven drawers and baskets made from natural materials are another under bed storage option worth taking into consideration. Woven fibres allow air to circulate and avoid dampness or musty odours, keeping stored items fresh and safe. A vacuum-packed storage bag is ideal for items that need to be stored away for a longer time. It will remove any air and allow you to squeeze in more.

It's also worth looking for cabin beds that sleep mid-sleep with pull-out desks if study is a top priority. Not only will these give your children a comfortable place to do homework or spend time with family, but they'll help you save some space in your bedroom as well.

Design
A single mid-sleeper is a great option for children who love to climb and explore. They're typically made of solid hardwoods and include ladders that are designed to meet the most stringent safety standards. You can prevent entrapment by choosing beds that have guard rails on the sides of the upper mattress. Some beds have a protective mesh that covers the mattress to give you additional security.
The majority of children's cabin beds are aimed at six year olds and above. They feature bold colourways that appeal to their developing imaginations. Find a style with shelves and a pull-out desk that give you more space to play or studying.
Many of the designs we offer are available with a selection of accessories such as tents, tunnels, and pocket organizers that can help keep their bedrooms tidy and organised. For example the Pino mid-sleeper made of wood with curtain is available in three frame colors and nine different under bed curtains ranging from simple neutrals to themed styles like unicorns and princesses.
In the same way, some of our loft or single cabin beds can be made into bunk beds or a day bed using an optional conversion kit (sold separately). This allows your child the freedom to adapt their space to their changing interests. If you're considering a convertible single cabin bed, opt for a sturdy design that can support a maximum weight for adults of 80kg's.

Paint the walls a fresh shade of grey or a duck-egg blue to create an ideal backdrop for bedding and furniture which can be easily changed with a variety of colors, including purple, pink or red.
Consider choosing a cabin bed that has an integrated wardrobe if you are introducing one to your child's bedroom. This will save floor space, and make it easier for your child's clothing to be organised.
