Mid Sleeper Bunk Bed
A mid-sleeper is a excellent option for people with smaller ceilings and lower bedrooms. They can be a great alternative for younger children to an individual bed. The older children can make use of the space below for study or storage area.
Both high and mid sleepers are suitable for children aged 6 years and over - however we recommend that your child is well-established in their sleeping habits prior to using this kind of bed.
Size
Mid sleeper bunk beds are lower to the ground than high sleepers, so they're a great choice for younger children and those with smaller bedrooms. They have plenty of storage space underneath that can be used for an office or play area. They also have plenty of headroom, which allows children to climb and descend easily. Many of our models can be equipped with a trundle bed or chair bed, which allows you to convert your child's loft into an extra sleeping area when guests visit.
A key appeal of both the high and mid-sleeper beds is that they're multi-functional furniture solutions that give your children a place to work, study and relax at home. This will let them sleep well and encourage a healthy lifestyle.
You can choose from many choices, including sofas and pull-out chairs to fit the space and preferences of your child. Our models come with a bookcase or shelving to help keep their books and other belongings in order. Some models come with desks. This is an ideal option for those who wish to create their own study habits, and also to work alone in their dedicated workspace.
Selecting a mattress that is suitable is a crucial decision, as you'll need to make sure it's the ideal height for your child. This is why we recommend investing in a quality foam mattress specifically designed for a child's bed. Alternatively, you can use a mattress you already have in the event that it's more than 15cm in thickness. We have a variety of mattresses that are suitable for high and mid sleeper bunk beds.
Style
The mid sleeper bunk is a bed that sits at a medium height. It has an area for sleeping that is accessible via a ladder or staircase. It's a fantastic option for children older than 6 years old as it takes sleep and storage to new levels allowing the top bunk to be used for play or studying.
It's a great choice for small bedrooms as it maximizes floor space without sacrificing the ceiling's height. It's a great option for bedrooms with small spaces, since it makes the most of the floor space without sacrificing the ceiling height.
A few bunk beds can also be converted into smaller sizes, such as a single bed by the help of clever extension kits. This is especially popular and an excellent choice for older children who may want a bit more space or a little separation from their younger siblings. There are other options, such as a high sleeper which is elevated higher, with the mattress being reached via a ladder or a staircase and is typically popular with teenagers and preteens because it's more mature and can be incorporated into an attic or loft space.
Mid and high sleeper beds are a great choice for kids who love to imagine and play games like "castle" or "fort" because they have plenty of space under where they can create an inviting retreat, a secret hideaway or even their own personal gaming space complete with curtains or fairy 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 super-cool sleepover bed, perfect for parties or friends visiting on weekends!
You can choose from the high or mid-sleeper bunk bed, or a cabin-style bed. Your child will be able to enjoy an inviting and spacious space to sleep in. Children love the adventure of climbing and down stairs or ladders to get into a cozy and fun space. This is the ultimate bed for children!
Safety
Mid sleepers or cabin beds can be an ideal space-saving solution however safety precautions are vital. It's crucial to ensure that the ladders you use are safe and sturdy, teach your children to safely climb them, and stress that the top bunk should not be used for play. You may also want to install a clip light on the ladder to make it more visible in the dark.
Some beds come with a guardrail built into the frame. This is an additional safety feature for children. This is particularly beneficial for bedrooms with small spaces, as a bunk bed can be tricky to navigate without the risk of falling over furniture or other items within the room.
It's also important not to place the bed too close to blinds (especially cords), windows, heaters or ceiling fans. If the bed is placed too close to the wall, it could result in entrapment or serious injuries. To minimise this danger, a mid-sleeper bed must be at least 3.5 inches away from the wall.
Do not hang anything over the railings on the top bunk. Scarves, belts and similar items can strangle a child if caught in them. This can happen very quickly particularly when children are asleep.
Look for a mid-sleeper or cabin bed with rails that are full length on each side to provide an additional barrier for your kids. Don't just rely on the wall as an obstacle to safety. Children could be trapped between the mattress and wall and be killed.
Finally, make sure you adhere to the assembly instructions carefully and examine every connect and screw regularly to ensure that the bed is solid and won't wobble. Consult a professional in case you're not sure. A solidly constructed bunk bed will last a long time, but it's best to be on the safe side and not to make a mistake when it comes to safety.
Storage
The space under the mid-sleeper bunk bed could be used both for playing and studying. In fact, many children's mid sleeper beds come with the option of a pull-out desk that is part of the design. This lets your child have their own space to work on their homework and projects. It also encourages the healthy balance between work and play.
A lot of our cabin beds for mid-sleepers have built-in storage drawers to help keep your child's bedroom neat and tidy. If you want your child to have even more storage options, you can select one with additional shelves or an armoire. The Stompa European Single Loft Bed with a built-in desk and the Louis mid sleeper cabin bed are both excellent examples of this type of functional cabin bed.
Nowadays, kids have plenty. Under bed storage is vital for any family, especially when children share a room with their siblings. Many of our children's mid-sleeper bunk beds have storage options under the bed, such as drawers for trundles that provide additional sleeping spaces for guests to stay or a pull-out sofa bed. This means the space underneath the mid sleeper could be used for both storage as well as a sofa, which is ideal for snuggling up for a nighttime film or reading.
