Mid Sleeper Bunk Bed
A mid sleeper is a ideal option for those with smaller ceilings and lower bedrooms. They are a great alternative for younger children to an individual bed. Older children can use the space below as a storage or study area.
Both mid and high sleepers are suitable for children aged 6 years and over We recommend that your child is well-established in their sleeping habits prior using this style of bed.
Size
They are less expensive than high sleeper bunks, making them a good option for bedrooms with smaller rooms and kids who are young. They provide ample storage space below that can be used for a desk or play space. They offer enough headroom for children to climb up and down effortlessly. You can even add the trundle drawer, or a chair bed to some of our models, allowing you to turn your loft into a sleeping space for guests to come over.
A key appeal of both high and mid sleeper beds is that they're multi-functional furniture solutions that give your children a space to study, do homework and unwind at home. This will allow them to sleep well and lead an active lifestyle.
You can pick from a wide range of options, such as couches and pull-out chairs that will fit your child's room and personal tastes. The models we offer include a bookcase or shelving to help them keep their books and other belongings well-organized. Some models have desks. This is a great choice for those who want to develop their own study habits and independence, by working on their own in their personal workspace.
It is important to choose the best mattress for your child. For this reason, we recommend purchasing a high-quality foam mattress that's specifically designed for a child's bed. Alternately, you can make use of an existing mattress in the event that it's more than 15cm thick. We have a variety of mattresses for both mid and high sleeper bunk beds.
Style
Like its name suggests the mid sleeper bunk bed is located at a mid-height, with the sleeping space accessed via a ladder or a stairwell. It's a fantastic option for children who are over 6 years old old, as it elevates storage and sleeping to new heights, allowing the top bunk to be used as a play area or for studying.
The space below is perfect for a variety of fun features like bookshelves, a desk or sofa, so it's the perfect choice for kids who love to create an inviting den or playroom. It's a great option for bedrooms with small spaces, since it makes the most of the floor space without cutting down on the ceiling height.
A few bunk beds can also be transformed into smaller sizes, such as a single bed with the use of clever extension kits. This is a very popular and ideal option for older children who require a bit more space or a little separation from their younger siblings. Another alternative is a high-sleeper bed that is elevated and the mattress is accessed by a ladder or a stairwell. This style is very popular among teens and preteens as it is more mature and can be integrated into a loft space or attic.
Mid and high sleeper bunk beds are great for kids who love to play games and think about. They can create their own gaming zone or a secret space or even a cozy hideaway with curtains and fairy lights. A lot of mid-sleeper beds have an trundle that can be pulled out and instantly transform the bed into a great sleepover bed. This is ideal for guests and parties on weekends!
You can choose from a mid or high-sleeper bunk bed, or a cabin-style bed. Your child will be able to enjoy a comfortable and spacious environment to sleep in. Children love the adventure of climbing and down stairs or ladders to get into a cozy and enjoyable space. This is the ideal bed for kids!
Safety
A mid-sleeper or cabin bed is a great space-saving solution however, it is essential to ensure safety precautions. This means ensuring that the ladders are strong and safe to use, as well as teaching youngsters on how to climb them up and down properly, and ensuring the top bunk is not for playing. Install a clip-on light on the ladder so that it is more visible at night.
Some beds have guardrails built into the frame. This can be an additional layer of security for children. This is especially useful in small bedrooms where bunk beds are difficult to navigate.
It is essential to avoid placing the bed too close to blinds (especially cords), heaters, or ceiling fans. A bed that is too close to the wall could cause serious injury and even entrapment. To minimise this danger, a mid-sleeper or a cabin bed should be at least 3.5 inches away from the wall.
Another vital safety point is to not hang anything from the railings of the guard on the top bunk. If a child gets caught in scarves, belts or similar items, they can strangle them. This can happen very quickly and especially during the time when children are asleep.
Choose a mid-sleeper cabin bed with full-length rails on each side to create an extra protection for your children. Also, don't rely on the wall to serve as a guard rail as a child may be trapped between the mattress and the wall, which could prove fatal.
Last but not least, ensure you follow the steps for assembly and periodically check all screws and connectors to ensure that the bed is solid and will not wobble. If you're unsure then ask a professional to help. If you want to make sure that your bunk bed will last for many years, it is best to be on the safest side.
Storage
The appeal of the mid sleeper bunk bed is that the space beneath can be used for both play and study. A majority of mid-sleeper beds for kids have desks that can be removed. This allows your child to have their own personal space to complete homework and projects. It encourages an appropriate balance between work and play.
Many of our mid-sleeper cabin beds come with built-in storage drawers, which help to keep your child's bedroom tidy and tidy. If you'd like your child to have even more storage options, you can choose an option with extra shelves or a wardrobe. Stompa's European Single Loft Bed with Built-in Desk, and the Louis mid-sleeper cabin bed are two excellent examples of this kind of functional cabin bed.
Nowadays, children have plenty. Under bed storage is vital for any family, particularly when children share a room with their siblings. A lot of our kids' mid-sleeper bunk beds have under-bed storage solutions such as drawers in trundles that can be used as additional sleeping spaces for visiting friends or an extra sofa bed that is pull-out.
