Mid Sleeper Bunk Bed
A mid-sleeper is excellent option for people who have lower ceilings and smaller bedrooms. They can be a great alternative for younger children to one bed. Older children can use the space below to study or storage area.
High and mid sleepers are suitable for children up to six. However, we suggest that they have established their sleeping habits prior to that.
Size
They are lower than high sleeper bunks and are a great alternative for bedrooms with smaller spaces and younger children. They have plenty of storage space underneath which can be used as a desk or play area. They have enough headroom to allow children to climb up and down easily. Many of our models can be fitted with a trundle bed or chair bed, allowing you to convert your child's loft to an additional sleeping area when friends visit.
A key appeal of both mid and high sleeper beds is that they're multi-functional furniture solutions, providing your children a space to study, do homework and relax at home. This will let them rest comfortably and promote a healthy lifestyle.
You can pick from a range of options, such as sofas and pull-out chairs that will fit your child's space and personal preferences. Many of our models feature a handy bookcase and/or shelves, making it easier for them to keep their books and other items organised. Some models come with desks. This is a great option for those who wish to create their own habits of study and also to work on their own in their personal workspace.
It is essential to choose the best mattress for your child. We suggest investing in a top quality foam mattress that's specifically designed for your child's bed. Alternatively, you can make use of an existing mattress in the event that it's more than 15cm in thickness. We have a variety of mattresses for both high and mid sleeper bunk beds.
Style
As its name suggests, the mid sleeper bunk bed is located at a middle height with the sleeping space accessed via a ladder or a stairwell. It's an ideal solution for children who are over 6 years old old, as it elevates storage and sleep to new levels, allowing the top bunk to be used for play or for studying.
The space below is perfect for a variety of fun features such as the bookcase, desk or sofa, making it the perfect option for kids who are looking to build an inviting den or playroom. It's also a great choice for small bedrooms as it maximises floor space without sacrificing the height of the room's ceiling.
Some children's mid sleeper bunk beds can also be transformed to smaller formats, like 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. Another alternative is a high-sleeper bed, which is elevated higher and the mattress can be reached by a ladder or staircase. This style is very popular with teens and preteens as it is more mature and can be easily integrated into loft spaces or an attic.
Mid and high sleeper beds are an excellent option for kids who like to imagine and play games such as 'castle' or 'fort' as they offer plenty of space beneath where they can create a cosy hideaway, a secret den or even a private gaming area complete with curtains or fairy lights. A lot of mid sleeper bunk beds also have an excellent trundle drawer that can be pulled out and immediately transforms the bed into a cool sleepover bed, perfect for parties or friends visiting at weekends!
You can pick the high or mid-sleeper bunk bed, or a cabin-style bed. Your child will enjoy an incredibly spacious and comfortable space to sleep in. Children love the adventure of climbing up and down ladders or stairs to reach a warm and relaxing space. This is the ideal bed for children!
Safety
Mid sleepers or cabin beds can be an ideal space-saving solution However, safety precautions are essential. This means ensuring that the ladders are sturdy and safe to use, as well as teaching children how to climb and descend them properly, and ensuring that the top bunk isn't intended for playing. You may also want to put a light clip on the ladder to make it more visible in the dark.
Some beds have a guardrail built into the frame. This can provide an additional layer of security for children. This is particularly useful in smaller bedrooms where a bunkbed can be difficult to navigate.
It's also important not to position the bed too close to blinds (especially cords), windows, heaters or ceiling fans. The bed's proximity to the wall can cause serious injuries and entrapment. To minimise this danger, a mid-sleeper or a cabin bed should be at minimum 3.5 inches from the wall.
Another important safety tip is to not hang anything from the railings of the guard on the top bunk. If a child is caught in scarves, belts or similar items, they can strangle them. This is particularly a problem when children are asleep. It can happen in the blink of an eye, so it's recommended to keep these items out of reach.
Choose a mid-sleeper cabin bed with full-length rails on both sides to provide an extra barrier for your children. Don't rely on the wall as a guard rail as a child may wedge themselves between the mattress mid cabin bed with desk and the wall, which could prove fatal.
Last but not least, ensure you follow the directions for assembly and check regularly all connectors and screws to ensure the bed is stable and will not wobble. Get help from an expert should you be unsure. If you want to make sure that your bunk bed lasts for a long time, it is best to be on the safe side.
