Mid Sleeper Small Single
Mid-sleepers for children and cabin beds provide a variety of storage facilities that standard bed frames simply cannot. Desks with pull-outs can be tucked neatly away into furniture when not in usage and shelves are readily available to store their growing collection.
Also think about children's cabin beds with hooks for shelves - ideal for reading or drinking a glass of water.
Sleeping Area
The sleeping platform of a mid-sleeper can be elevated from the ground and usually has sides to provide a secure and safe environment that encourages a healthy sleep posture and spinal alignment. This allows children to sleep longer, more comfortably and more comfortably. It also contributes to their physical and mental health.
A mid sleeper small single is also a great choice for children making the transition from crib to bed as it provides a safe and comforting sleeping area while introducing the elements of a grown-up bed that encourages independence. The elevated platform and enclosed space also encourages relaxation and a calm routine for bedtime, helping them get a good night's rest.
Mid sleeper cabin beds are designed to be multi-purpose play, study and sleeping spaces for your children. The raised sleeping surface is perfect to place furniture such as a sofa or desk underneath and the solid construction means you do not have to worry about it falling through. This makes a mid-sleeper a clever option for children who are beginning to show an interest in academic and homework pursuits.
Children's mid sleepers can come with built-in storage options that provide your kids with more space to spread out and unwind. These beds often include an adjustable desk, a chest of drawers for storage or an extensive shelving system to hold toys and books. Certain models, such as the Julian Bowen Skye Playhouse mid sleeper - have been designed to look like a house or knight's fort, which kids can customize with curtains, windows and twinkly lights to give an extra-fun feature.
The majority of children's mid-sleepers feature ladders or stairs that aid in climbing to the platform they sleep on. They are designed to be strong and secure, with guardrails and wide treads to make the climb more comfortable for children of all ages. It's always recommended to be a vigilant observer of your child when they're using the stairs or ladder to ensure that they adhere to safety guidelines and don't try to climb too high too quickly! You can also get single mid-sleepers which don't need a ladder or any stairs at all, for a sleeker and more compact appearance.
Mattress
There's a lot to like about a mid sleeper small single. Their bold designs and fun features draw children's attention and help them drift off to a dream more quickly. Most of these beds have built-in storage underneath the mattress, which is an excellent option when you're struggling to make room to store a wardrobe or drawers. The extra space beneath your mattress can be used to store low-level objects that will grow with your child. It can be open cabinets for totes, or drawers that are neat and tidy, with a smooth, no-slip operation.
The type of mattress you pick will be based on the sleeping position of your sleeper. A mattress with a soft feel is best for front or side sleepers, whereas a firmer mattress is better for stomach and back sleepers. There are mattresses that have added benefits such as anti-dustmite treatments as well as cooling properties to promote healthy sleep. Some of these beds can accommodate desks that pull out to can be used as study areas. These can be a real lifesaver when you're trying to get the floor cleared in your children's room and let them continue their homework at the same time.
Many of the mattresses that we sell for mid sleeper cabin beds can be vacuum packed to make it easier to transport them, which reduces their size to only a fraction of their original size to allow simpler manoeuvre around your home upon arrival. This is an excellent option if you're worried about lifting and moving an enormous bed, particularly for those who have back or joint issues.
Some of our mid sleeper beds can be made into a day bed and a bunk bed using optional conversion kits, allowing them to adapt as your child grows. This is ideal for families who may need to use an entire bedroom for a lengthy period of time. For example the Kidsaw Urban Midsleeper 1 is an iconic white and birch bed that converts into a loft-style bunk or a standard single bed with the ladder. The Julian Bown Skye Midsleeper, is a dream of design that looks like an elaborate castle, can be customized with curtains, twinkling lights or removable stickers.
Under-bed Storage
Mid-sleeper cabin beds are popular due to the fact that they offer a lot of storage options. Contrary to high-sleeper and bunk beds, which are elevated to a high level, they typically only sit at a distance of about a metre from the ground, which leaves plenty of space underneath to put furniture and other practical features. Drawers are the most obvious solution to storage underneath the bed. They can extend the full length of the bed, and be positioned at either end or be used as bedside tables. Look out for drawers that are able to fit into a divan base, to create a neat and seamless look.
Another option for under-bed storage is woven drawers and baskets. These are made of natural materials. Woven fibers allow air to circulate and eliminate dampness or musty odours from keeping the items stored fresh and secure. A vacuum-packed storage bag is perfect for items that will be kept for a longer time. It will eliminate any air and allow you to fit in more.
You can also choose a stylish, purpose-designed small single cabin bed that has built-in drawers and cabinets. They will not only use your space under the bed to the maximum, but they also help keep things organized and tidy. Drawer systems with smooth no-wobble runners are a must, particularly if you want to prevent them from jamming. If you opt for a wooden model for your home, choose a painted finish to match the decor of the room.
It's also worth searching for cabin beds that sleep mid-sleep with desks that can be pulled out if studying is a priority. They'll not only provide your children a comfortable place to work from or hang out with friends, but they'll save you some much needed space in their bedroom too. Select options that include chairs to get the most out of this feature.
Design
A single bed is ideal for children who love to climb, explore and discover. They are typically constructed from solid hardwoods, and they come with ladders that meet strict safety standards. Find designs that have guard rails on all sides of the upper bed or use a bunk system to prevent dangers of entrapment. Some beds offer a protective mesh over the upper mattress to give you additional peace of mind.
Most children's beds are designed for children aged six years or older. They are designed with bright colors that appeal to their expanding imaginations. Choose white midi bed that has shelves and a desk that can be pulled out to provide more space for play or study.
A lot of the designs we have in our collection are available with a selection of accessories such as tents, pockets organisers, and tunnels that can help keep their bedrooms neat and organized. For instance the Pino wooden mid sleeper with curtain is available in three frame colors and 9 different bed curtains that range from simple neutrals to themes like princesses and unicorns.
Similarly, some of our single cabins or loft beds can be converted into bunk beds or a day bed by using an optional conversion kit (sold separately). This lets your child modify the space according to their preferences. If you're thinking about a single convertible cabin bed, choose a sturdy construction capable of supporting an adult weight limit up to 80kg.
Think about a neutral design to accommodate a variety of preferences when introducing a tiny single into a shared bedroom. You can paint the walls with a fresh coat of grey or duck egg blue to create a background that can be easily transformed with bedding and furniture in shades of purple, pink or red, or any other shade your child likes.
If you're planning to add a single cabin bed to a bedroom for your child, consider selecting one with an integrated wardrobe. This saves floor space and allows your child to keep their clothes neatly organised. Our Julian Bowen Stella and Cookie mid-sleeper models come with drawers on the sides that provide plenty of storage space for books, toys as well as other items.
