Cabin Beds and Mid Sleepers

Kids enjoy cabin beds and mid sleepers because they add a bit of entertainment to their bedtime. They can transform into play spaces or dens, and even craft areas!

Mid sleepers are lower and have a smaller staircase or ladder than high sleepers. They are therefore perfect for kids who are young. Many also have amazing storage solutions such as drawers, shelving and cube bookcases.

Space-Saving

Most children's bedrooms are tiny and maximising storage space is crucial. Mid sleepers and cabin beds are an excellent solution to that as they provide plenty of extra storage whilst being a beautiful accent piece for the room. These beds often include built-in storage underneath, such as drawers or shelves which can be used in many different ways. Some of our cabin beds for kids have the option of a sofa beneath. This is perfect to read a book or for an evening sleepover.

If your kids have many toys or games that they would like to put away We offer a broad selection of cabin beds with useful pull-out wardrobes that allow them access to a complete set of drawers. This means that all their books, toys and clothes can be stored neatly away and they will have more room to play. We have a wide range of stylish open and closed wardrobes so they can design their own style for their bedroom.

A kids mid-sleeper is different from a cabin bed in that it is elevated a bit higher and can be purchased with or without a step or ladder. This is perfect for children who want to move from a single to mid sleeper. It can give them the feeling of independence while allowing them to safely take the stairs.

We recommend that children are at least 6 years old before using the top bunk of a high-sleeper and mid sleeper. However, it is important to review individual product detail pages as manufacturers may have their own safety guidelines. Jumping off the top of the cabin bed is not recommended, as it may cause damage to the structure and injuries to your child.

Both mid sleeper and cabin beds are a fantastic option to make space in the room of your child and can be versatile as their needs change. They can easily be converted into a seating area, desk or a fun craft station and help keep their rooms clean and tidy which is ideal when it comes to studying or playing.
