Mid Sleeper Bunk Bed
A mid sleeper is a excellent option for people who have lower ceilings and smaller bedrooms. They offer younger children an exciting and practical alternative to a standard single bed, and older children can make use of the space beneath for studying and storage.
Both mid and high sleepers are suitable for children aged six years and above - however we recommend that your child is well-established in their sleeping habits prior using this style of bed.
Size
Mid sleeper bunk beds are lower than high sleepers, which means they're an excellent choice for children who are younger and with smaller bedrooms. They're also spacious with storage underneath which can be used as an office or play area. They offer enough headroom for children to climb up and down easily. Many of our models are equipped with a trundle bed or a chair bed, allowing you to convert your child's loft into an additional sleeping space when visiting friends.
Mid and high sleeper bed are multi-functional furniture that offers your children a place at home to study, work on their homework, or just relax. This lets them enjoy an excellent night's sleep and promotes an active lifestyle by giving them everything they require all in one location.
You can pick from a variety of options, including pull out chairs and sofas that will fit your child's space and personal preferences. A majority of our models feature a handy bookcase and/or shelves, making it easier for them to keep their books and other belongings organised. Some models also have desks. This is an ideal option for those who want to establish their own study habits and also to work at their own pace in a space that is exclusively theirs.
The selection of a mattress is an important consideration in order to ensure that it's the correct height for your child. We recommend that you invest in a top-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 thicker than 15cm. We have a selection of mattresses that are suitable for mid and high sleeper bunk beds and it's easy to find the right one for your little ones.
Style
Like its name suggests the mid-sleeper bunk bed is situated at a middle level, and the sleeping area is accessed via a ladder or a staircase. It's a fantastic option for children who are over 6 years old older as it elevates sleep and storage to new heights, allowing the top bunk to be used as a play area or studying.
The space beneath is perfect for a range of fun features such as the bookcase, sofa or desk so it's the ideal choice for children who want to create cozy dens or a playroom. It's also a great option for bedrooms with small spaces as it maximizes the floor space, without sacrificing the height of the room's ceiling.
Some bunk beds for children's mid-sleeper beds can also be transformed to smaller formats, like one bed through the help of clever extension kits. This is a very popular and ideal choice for older children who need a little more space or privacy from their younger siblings. Another bunk bed in middle of room option is a high sleeper which is elevated higher, with the mattress accessible via a ladder or staircase and is typically favored by pre-teens and teenagers as it's more mature and can be put into a loft or attic space.
High and mid sleeper bunk beds are ideal for kids who love to play games and imagine. They can design their own gaming zone, secret den or even a cozy retreat with curtains and fairy lights. A lot of mid-sleeper beds have the trundle which can be pulled out to transform the bed into an awesome sleepover bed. This is perfect for gatherings and guests on weekends!
You can choose from a mid or high-sleeper bunk bed, or a cabin-style bed. Your child will be able to enjoy an incredibly spacious and comfortable space to sleep in. Children love climbing and down stairs or ladders to get into a cozy and enjoyable space. This is the ideal bed for children!
Safety
A mid-sleeper or cabin bed can be a wonderful space-saving solution, but it's essential to ensure safety precautions. It's crucial to ensure that the ladders you use are sturdy and safe. teach children how to climb them safely, and stress that the top bunk shouldn't be used as a play area. Install a clip-on light on the ladder to ensure that it's more visible at night.
Some beds have a railing built into the frame. This is an additional layer of safety for children. This is especially beneficial in smaller rooms where a bunkbed can be difficult to maneuver.
It's also important to not place the bed too close to blinds (especially cords), windows, heaters or ceiling fans. The bed being too close to the wall may result in serious injuries and entrapment. To reduce the risk, a mid-sleeper bed must be at minimum 3.5 inches away from the wall.
Do not hang anything over the railings on the top bunk. If a child is trapped in belts, scarves or similar items, they may strangle them. This can happen very quickly, especially when children are asleep.
Look for a mid-sleeper or cabin bed with rails that are full length on each side to create an extra barrier for your children. Don't just rely on the wall for an obstacle to safety. Children could be trapped between the mattress and the wall, which can be fatal.
Also, be sure to follow the assembly directions carefully and check the connections and screws frequently to ensure that the bed is solid and doesn't move. Ask an expert for assistance should you be unsure. If you wish to ensure that your bunk bed will last for a long time it is recommended to always be on the safest side.
Storage
The space underneath a bunk bed that is mid-sleeper can be used for play and study. In fact, many children's mid sleeper beds come with the option of a pull-out desk as part of the design. This lets your child have their own personal space to work in and complete their homework projects. It also encourages a healthy work/play balance.
A majority of our mid-sleeper cabin beds come with built-in storage drawers that help to keep your child's bedroom tidy and tidy. You can choose an option with additional shelving or a closet if you wish to give your child more storage space. The Stompa European Single Loft Bed with a built-in desk and the Louis mid sleeper cabin bed are both excellent examples of this kind of functional cabin bed.
Nowadays, kids have many things. Under bed storage is vital for every family, especially in the case of children sharing the same room with their siblings. Many of our children's mid-sleeper bunk beds have under-bed storage options like trundle drawers that allow for additional sleeping spaces for visiting family members or an extra sofa bed that is pull-out.
