Mid Sleeper Bunk Bed
A mid-sleeper is great option for those with lower ceilings and smaller bedrooms. They can provide younger children with an exciting and practical alternative to a conventional single bed, and older children can use the space underneath for study and storage.
Both mid and high sleepers are suitable for children aged six years and above However, we suggest that your child is established in their sleeping habits before using this style of bed.
Size
They are lower than high sleeper bunks which makes them a great option for bedrooms with smaller rooms and younger children. They offer plenty of storage space underneath that can be used as a desk or play space. They provide enough headroom for children to climb and descend effortlessly. You can even add an trundle drawer or a chair bed to many of our models, allowing you to turn your loft into a sleeping area when guests come over.
The main benefit of high and mid sleeper beds is that they're multi-functional furniture solutions, providing your children a space to study, work and relax at home. This will help them rest comfortably and promote an active lifestyle.
You can choose from a wide range of options, such as sofas and pull-out chairs that will fit your child's room and personal tastes. A majority of our models feature a handy bookcase and/or shelving, making it easy for them to keep their books and belongings organised. Some models also have desks. This is a great option for those looking to establish their own study habits and work at their own pace in a space that is exclusively theirs.
The selection of a mattress is a crucial decision in order to ensure that it's the correct size for your child's. We recommend that you invest in a high-quality foam mattress that is specifically designed for your child's bedroom. 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 high and mid sleeper bunk beds.
Style
The name implies the mid sleeper bunk bed sits at a middle level, and the sleeping area is accessible via a ladder or staircase. It's a fantastic option for children older than 6 years old, as it elevates storage and sleep to new heights, allowing the top bunk to be used for play or study.
The space below is perfect to accommodate a variety of features such as the bookcase, desk or sofa, making it the ideal choice for children who love to create a cosy den or a playroom. It's a great option for bedrooms with small spaces, since it maximizes the floor space without cutting down on ceiling height.
A few bunk beds can be converted into smaller sizes, such as one bed through the help of clever extension kits - this is particularly popular and an excellent choice for older children who may need a little more space or separation from their younger siblings. Other options include the high sleeper, which is elevated much higher up with the mattress being reached via a ladder or staircase and is typically favored by pre-teens and teenagers because it's more mature and can be incorporated into a loft or attic space.
Mid and high sleeper beds are a fabulous option for children who love to imagine and play games such as 'castle' or 'fort' because they have plenty of space under where they can create an enticing retreat, a secret hideaway or even their own personal gaming zone complete with curtains or fairy lights. A lot of mid-sleeper bunk beds also have a trundle drawer that can be pulled out and instantly transforms the bed into a cool sleepover bed that is perfect for parties or visiting friends at weekends!
You can pick the high or mid-sleeper bunk bed, or a cabin-style bed. Your child will love an inviting and spacious space to sleep in. Children love the adventure of climbing up and down stairs or ladders to reach a warm and enjoyable space. This is the ideal bed for kids!
Safety
A mid-sleeper or cabin bed can be a wonderful solution for reducing space, but it's essential to take precautions for safety. This means that you must ensure that the ladders are sturdy and safe to use, educating youngsters on how to climb up and down them properly, and ensuring the top bunk is not to be used for play. Install a light clip on the ladder to ensure that it is more visible at night.
Some beds have a railing built into the frame. This can provide an additional layer of safety for children. This is especially useful for small bedrooms, where bunk beds can be tricky to navigate without the risk of falling over furniture or other objects within the room.
It is important to ensure that the bed is not too close to blinds (especially cords), heaters, or ceiling fans. The bed being too close to the wall may result in serious injury and entrapment. A mid sleeper or cabin bed should be at least 3.5" from the wall to minimise the risk.
Avoid hanging anything from the guardrails on the top bunk. If a child gets caught in scarves, belts or similar items, they could strangle them. This can happen very quickly and especially during the time when children are asleep.
If you are choosing a mid-sleeper or cabin bed, look for one with full-length security rails across the entire length to provide an additional security measure for your children. Don't just rely on the wall for a safety barrier. A child could get trapped between the mattress and the wall and die.
The last thing to do is make sure you follow the instructions for assembly and periodically check the screws and connectors to ensure that the bed is stable and will not move. Consult a professional should you be unsure. A well-built bunk bed should last a long time, however, it's always best to be on the safe side and never to compromise in regards to safety.
Storage
The space underneath a mid-sleeper bunk bed can be used both for playing and studying. In fact, a lot of children's mid sleeper beds come with a pull-out desk that is part of the design. This allows your child to have their own personal space to midi bed with wardrobe work in and complete their homework projects. It also encourages the healthy balance between work and play.
A majority of our mid sleeper cabin beds have built-in storage drawers that can help keep your child's room tidier and tidy. If you'd like your child to have even more storage options, then you can select a model that has extra shelves or a wardrobe. The Stompa European Single Loft Bed with a built-in desk and the Louis mid-sleeper cabin bed are both great examples of this kind of cabin bed that is functional.
Nowadays, kids have many things. This is especially true when they're sharing a bedroom with a sibling, so storage options under the bed are crucial for any home. Many of our children's mid-sleeper bunk beds have under-bed storage options like drawers for trundles that provide extra sleeping spaces for visiting friends or a pull-out sofa bed. The space underneath the mid-sleeper bunk bed can be utilized as a couch and to store things which makes it perfect for a cozy spot to read a book or watching a film.
