What Is Mid Sleeper Bed And Why Is Everyone Speakin' About It?
Mid Sleeper Bunk BedA mid-sleeper is a great option for those with smaller or lower ceilings. They provide children with an exciting and practical alternative to a standard single bed, and older children can make use of the space beneath for studying and storage.
High and mid sleepers are suitable for children over the age of six. We recommend that they establish their sleeping habits prior to that.
Size
Mid sleeper bunk beds are lower to the ground than high sleepers, which means they're a great option for kids younger than a child and those with smaller bedrooms. They're also spacious with storage space underneath that can be used for a desk or a play area. They also have plenty of headroom to allow children to climb and descend easily. Many of our models can be fitted with an trundle bed, or a chair bed, which allows you to convert your child's loft into an additional sleeping space when friends visit.
High and mid sleeper beds are multi-functional furniture that offers your children a place at home to study, complete their homework, and relax. This helps them get an excellent night's sleep and encourages a healthy lifestyle by providing them with everything they need in one place.
You can pick from a variety of options, such as couches and pull-out chairs, to suit your child's space and personal tastes. Most of our models also have a handy bookcase or shelves, making it easier for them to keep their books and other items organised. You can also find some that have desks which are an excellent option for those who wish to develop their own study habits and self-reliance by working on their own in their own workspace.
It is crucial to select the best mattress for your child. For this reason, we recommend investing in a quality foam mattress specifically made for the bed of your child. You can also make use of an existing mattress provided it's not more than 15cm thick. We have a wide selection of mattresses suitable for mid and high sleeper bunk beds.
Style
Like its name suggests the mid-sleeper bunk bed is situated at a mid-height, and the sleeping area is accessible via a ladder or a staircase. It's an ideal solution for children who are over 6 years old old, as it elevates sleep and storage to new levels allowing the top bunk to be used for play or for studying.
It's a great choice for smaller bedrooms since it maximises floor space without sacrificing the ceiling's height. It's an excellent choice for bedrooms with limited space, as it maximizes the floor space without losing the height of the ceiling.
A few bunk beds can also be converted to smaller formats, like a single bed with the help of clever extension kits. This is a very popular and excellent choice for older children who want a bit more space or privacy from their younger siblings. Another option is a high-sleeper bed, which is elevated higher and the mattress is accessed by a ladder or a stairwell. This design is popular among teens and preteens because it is more mature and can be easily integrated into a loft space or attic.
High and mid sleeper bunk beds are ideal for kids who love to play games and think about. They can make their own gaming area or secret room or even a cozy place to retreat with curtains and lights. A lot of mid-sleeper bunk beds also come with a trundle drawer that can be pulled out and immediately transforms the bed into a cool sleepover bed that is perfect for parties or visiting friends at weekends!
No matter if you opt for a high or mid-sleeper bunk bed, or even a cabin bed your child is guaranteed a wonderful night's sleep in a cosy and comfortable space. There's something thrilling about the sense of adventure that comes from being able to climb up and down a ladder or a set of stairs to create a cozy and fun space that children love and this really is the ultimate bed for children!
Safety
A mid-sleeper or cabin bed is a great space-saving solution, but it's essential to take precautions for safety. This means that you must ensure that the ladders are strong and safe to use, as well as teaching youngsters how to climb up and down them correctly, and stressing that the top bunk is not intended for playing. Install a clip-on light on the ladder so that it's more visible at night.
Some beds have guardrails built into the frame. This can provide an additional layer of safety for children. This is especially beneficial in small bedrooms, where bunk beds can be tricky to navigate without the risk of falling over furniture or other objects in the room.
It is important to ensure that the bed is not too close to blinds (especially cords) heaters, blinds, or ceiling fans. A bed that is too close to the wall can cause serious injury and entrapment. To minimise this danger, a mid-sleeper or a cabin bed must be at minimum 3.5 inches away from the wall.
Avoid hanging anything from the guardrails on the top bunk. If a child gets caught in scarves, belts or similar items, they may strangle them. This is especially a problem when children are asleep and can occur in the blink of an eye, so it's best to keep these items away from reach.
When choosing a mid sleeper or a cabin bed, opt for one with full-length security rails across the entire length to provide an additional barrier for your children. Also, don't rely on the wall as a security rail as a child may get stuck between the mattress and the wall, which could be dangerous.
The last thing to do is ensure that you follow the instructions for assembly and regularly check all connectors and screws to ensure that the bed is sturdy and won't move. If you are unsure then ask a professional to help. If you wish to ensure that your bunk bed lasts for many years, it is best to always be on the safest side.
Storage
The appeal of the mid sleeper bunk bed is that the space beneath can be used to study and play. A majority of mid-sleeper beds for kids have an office that can be removed. This lets your child have their own space to work on their homework and projects. It also encourages an appropriate balance between play and work.
Many of our mid-sleeper cabin beds have built-in storage drawers to make sure your child's bedroom is tidy and neat. If you want your child to have more storage options, you can opt for a model that has extra shelving or an armoire. The Stompa European Single Loft Bed with a built-in desk and the Louis mid-sleeper cabin bed are excellent examples of this type of cabin bed that is functional.
Children these days carry a lot of stuff. This is especially true if they're sharing a bedroom with a sibling, so under bed storage options are essential for any home. Many of our children's mid-sleeper bunk beds have under-bed storage options like drawers in trundles that can be used as extra sleeping spaces for visiting family members or a sofa bed that can be pulled out. This means that the space beneath the mid sleeper can be used as storage as well as a sofa which is ideal for cuddling up for a bedtime film or reading.
