Five Mid Sleeper Bed Lessons From Professionals
Mid Sleeper Bunk BedA mid-sleeper is a excellent option for people with lower ceilings and smaller bedrooms. They can provide younger children with a fun and functional alternative to a conventional single bed, whilst older children can make use of the space underneath for study and storage.
Mid and high sleepers are suitable for children up to six. However, we suggest that they have established their sleeping habits first.
Size
They are smaller than bunk beds with high sleepers, making them a good option for bedrooms with smaller rooms and children who are younger. They have plenty of storage space underneath which can be used as a desk or play space. They have enough headroom to allow children to climb up and down effortlessly. Many of our models are fitted with a trundle bed or a chair bed, which allows you to convert your child's loft into an additional sleeping area when visiting friends.
High and mid-sleeper beds are multifunctional furniture that gives your children a space at home where they can study, work on their homework, and relax. This will allow them to sleep well and lead an active lifestyle.
You can pick from a wide range of options, such as sofas and pull-out chairs to fit your child's space and personal tastes. Many of our models come with a bookcase or shelves, making it easier for them to keep their books and other items organised. You can also find a few that have desks which are a great option for those who wish to establish their own study habits and autonomy by working independently in their own dedicated workspace.
Selecting a mattress that is suitable is a crucial decision, as you'll need to ensure it's the right size for your child's. We suggest investing in a premium foam mattress designed specifically for your child's bedroom. You can also use an existing mattress, provided it's not more than 15cm thick. We have a variety of mattresses suitable for mid and high sleeper bunk beds.
Style
As its name suggests, the mid sleeper bunk bed sits at a middle height with the sleeping area being accessible via a ladder or staircase. It's a great option for children older than 6 years, as it allows the top bunk to serve as a study or play area.
It's a great option for smaller bedrooms since it increases the floor space, without sacrificing the ceiling's height. It's a great choice for bedrooms with limited space, as it makes the most of the floor space, without losing the height of the ceiling.
Some bunk beds for children's mid-sleeper beds can also be converted into smaller sizes, such as a single bed by the use of clever extension kits. This is a very popular and ideal option for older children who want a bit more space or a little separation from their younger siblings. There are other options, such as high sleepers that are elevated much higher up with the mattress accessible by a ladder or a stairwell and is typically popular with teenagers and preteens as it's more grown up and can be put into a loft or attic space.

Many beds for mid-sleepers have the trundle which can be pulled out and instantly transform the bed into an awesome sleepover bed. This is ideal for guests and parties on weekends!

Safety
A mid sleeper or cabin bed can be a fantastic solution for reducing space however it's important to ensure safety precautions. It is essential to ensure that the ladders you are using are sturdy and safe. teach children how to climb them safely and stress that the top bunk shouldn't be used for play. Install a light clip on the ladder to ensure that it's more visible at night.
Some beds come with a guard rail integrated into the frame, which can provide an extra layer of safety for children. This is especially beneficial in smaller bedrooms where bunk beds can be difficult to maneuver.
It is essential to ensure that the bed is not too near blinds (especially cords) or heaters, as well as ceiling fans. The bed being too close to the wall may result in serious injury and even entrapment. To minimize the risk, a mid-sleeper or a cabin bed must be at least 3.5 inches from the wall.
Another crucial safety measure is to avoid hanging anything from the guard rails on the top bunk. Belts, scarves and similar items could cause strangulation if a child is caught in them. This can happen quickly and especially during the time when children are sleeping.
If you are choosing a mid-sleeper or a cabin bed, opt for one with full-length guard rails on all sides to offer an additional security measure for your children. Don't solely rely on the wall for an additional safety barrier. Children can get trapped between the mattress and the wall and be killed.
Last but not least, make sure you follow the steps for assembly and periodically check all connectors and screws to ensure that the bed is solid and won't move. Consult a professional in case you're not sure. A well-built bunk bed should last for a long time but it's important to stay on the safe side and never to make a mistake when it comes to safety.
