The sleeping platform of a mid sleeper is elevated above the ground, and often has sides to create a secure and secure environment that promotes healthy sleep posture and spinal alignment. This allows children to sleep longer, more comfortably and more soundly. It also improves 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 familiar and comforting sleeping area while introducing the elements of a grown-up bed that encourages independence. The elevated platform and enclosed area can also help to promote relaxation and a calm nighttime routine.

Children's mid-sleepers can come with built-in storage options that give your children more room to spread out and unwind. These beds typically have a pullout desk, chest of drawers for storage, or extensive shelving to accommodate toys and books. Some models, like the Julian Bowen Skye Playhouse Mid Sleeper, are designed to look like homes or castles for knights that children can personalize with curtains and windows for a playful touch.
Most children's mid sleepers will feature ladders or stairs that help them climb to the platform that is above their bed. These are designed to be sturdy and secure, with guardrails and wide treads to make climbing more comfortable for children of all ages. It is always recommended to be a vigilant observer of your child when they're using the ladder or stairs to ensure that they adhere to safety guidelines and don't try to climb up too fast! There are also single mid sleepers that don't require ladders or any stairs at all, for a sleeker, more compact appearance.

The kind of mattress you pick depends largely on your sleeper's preferred sleeping position that is softer, ideal for people who sleep on their sides and in front than a firmer one. There is also several mattresses that have added benefits, such as anti-dust mite treatments or cooling properties that ensure a healthy sleep.

Under-bed Storage
Mid sleeper cabin beds are popular due to the fact that they provide plenty of clever storage options. Unlike high sleeper and bunk beds, which are raised very high they usually sit at a distance of about a metre from the floor, leaving plenty of room underneath to put furniture and other features. The most obvious under bed storage solution is a set of drawers. These can run the full length of the bed, be placed at either end, or even incorporate a space for tables to sit on at night. Find drawers that can be incorporated seamlessly into a divan base, to give a clean and seamless finish.
Another option for storage under beds is woven baskets and drawers. They are made from natural materials. Woven fibers circulate air and eliminate dampness and musty odors. They keep the items fresh and secure. For items that will be stored for longer periods, a vacuum packed storage bag is a great choice since it eliminates all air which allows you to squeeze more into your space.
You can also pick a smaller cabin bed that has drawers and cabinets built in. They will not only use your space under the bed to the maximum, but they'll also keep things organized and tidy. Drawer systems with smooth no-wobble runners are a must particularly if you want to prevent them from jamming.

A single mid-sleeper is a great choice for children who like to climb and explore. They're often crafted from solid hardwoods, and are equipped with ladders that are designed to meet the most stringent safety standards. You can avoid from entrapment by choosing beds which have guard rails on the sides of the bed. Some beds offer a protective mesh that covers the mattress to provide you with extra security.
Most children's beds are designed for kids aged six years or older. They are designed with bright colors that appeal to their growing imaginations. Choose a design that has shelving and a desk that can be pulled out to provide more space for play or studying.

For example, the Pino wooden mid sleeper with curtain is available in three frame colors and 9 different bed curtains that range from simple neutrals to themed designs like princesses and unicorns.
Similarly, some of our loft or single cabin beds can be converted into bunk beds or a day bed using an optional conversion kit (sold separately).
