The Reason Why Adding A Mid Sleeper Bed To Your Life's Routine Will Make The A Difference
Mid Sleeper Bunk BedA mid-sleeper is a great option for those who have lower ceilings and smaller bedrooms. They offer younger children a fun and functional alternative to a traditional single bed, whilst older children can use the space underneath to study and storage.
Mid and high sleepers are suitable for children up to six. However, we suggest that they have established their sleeping habits prior to that.
Size
They are less expensive than bunk beds with high sleepers, making them a good option for smaller bedrooms and children who are younger. They provide plenty of storage space underneath that can be used as an area for play or a desk. They also offer plenty of headroom to allow children to climb and descend easily. You can even add the trundle drawer, or a chair bed to some of our models, which allows you to convert your loft into a second sleeping space for guests to come over.
The main benefit of high and mid sleeper beds is their multi-functional furniture solutions, providing your children a place to work, study and relax at home. This will allow them to rest comfortably and promote an active lifestyle.
You can pick from a variety of options, including couches and pull-out chairs, to suit your child's room and personal preferences. The models we offer come with a bookcase or shelving to help keep their books and other belongings organized. Some models come with desks. This is an ideal option for those who want to create their own study habits and independence, by working on their own in their personal workspace.
The selection of a mattress is a vital consideration in order to make sure it's the ideal size for your child's. We suggest that you invest in a top-quality foam mattress specifically designed for your child's bedroom. You can also use an existing mattress provided it's not thicker than 15cm. We have a variety of mattresses for both mid and high sleeper bunk beds.
Style
As its name suggests the mid-sleeper bunk bed is situated at a mid-height, and the sleeping area is accessible via a ladder or staircase. It's a fantastic option for children who are over 6 years old old, as it elevates sleep and storage to new levels, allowing the top bunk to be used for play or for studying.
The space beneath is perfect to accommodate a variety of features such as bookshelves, a sofa or desk so it's the ideal choice for children who love to create an inviting den or playroom. It's a great option for small bedrooms, as it maximizes the floor space without losing the ceiling height.
Some children's mid sleeper bunk beds can also be transformed to smaller formats, like a single bed with the use of clever extension kits - this is a very popular and excellent choice for older children who may require a bit more space or a little privacy from their younger siblings. Another option is the high sleeper, which is elevated higher, with the mattress accessible by a ladder or a stairwell and this design is often favored by pre-teens and teenagers because it's more mature and can be put into a loft or attic space.
Mid and high sleeper beds are a fabulous choice for kids who love to imagine and play games like "castle" or "fort" because they have plenty of space underneath where they can create an enticing retreat, a secret hideaway or even their own personal gaming zone complete with curtains or fairy lights. Many mid sleeper bunk beds also come with a great trundle drawer which can be pulled out and instantly transforms the bed into a cool sleepover bed - ideal for parties or friends visiting on weekends!
Whether you go for a high or mid sleeper bunk bed or even a cabin bed your child is guaranteed a wonderful night's sleep in a spacious and comfortable environment. Children love the adventure of climbing 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 are an excellent space-saving option, but safety precautions are vital. This means that you must ensure that the ladders are strong and safe to use, educating youngsters on how to climb and descend them properly, and ensuring that 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 come with a guard rail integrated into the frame, which can offer an additional layer of protection for children. This is especially beneficial in small bedrooms, where a bunk bed can be difficult to navigate without putting yourself at risk of falling over furniture or other objects within the room.
It's also important to not put the bed too close to blinds (especially cords) windows, heaters, or ceiling fans. The bed being too close to the wall can cause serious injuries and entrapment. To reduce the risk, a mid-sleeper bed must be at least 3.5 inches from the wall.
Another vital safety point is to not hang anything from the railings that guard the top bunk. If a child gets trapped in belts, scarves or similar items, they can strangle them. This can happen quickly particularly when children are sleeping.
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 rely on the wall to serve as a security rail as a child may get stuck between the mattress and the wall, which could be fatal.
The last thing to do is ensure you follow the directions for assembly and regularly check the screws and connectors to ensure that the bed bunk is stable and will not wobble. Consult a professional should you be unsure. A solidly constructed bunk bed will last a long time, however, it's always best to be on the safe side and not to make a mistake when it comes to safety.
Stores
The great thing about a mid sleeper bunk bed is that the space beneath can be used for study and play. In fact, many children's mid sleeper beds come with a pull-out desk as part of the design. This lets your child have their own space to work in and complete their homework projects. It also helps encourage a healthy work/play balance.
A majority of our mid-sleeper cabin beds have built-in storage drawers that help to keep your child's bedroom tidy and neater. If you'd like your child to have more storage options, you can select one with additional shelves or an armoire. The Stompa European Single Loft Bed with Built-in Desk as well as the Louis mid sleeper cabin bed are both great examples of this type of bed that can be used for cabin use.
Children these days carry a lot of stuff. Under bed storage is essential for any family, especially if the children share a room with their siblings. Many of our children's mid sleeper bunk beds feature under-bed storage solutions such as trundle drawers that allow for extra sleeping spaces for visiting family members or a sofa bed that can be pulled out. The space beneath the mid-sleeper bed can be used as a sofa and as storage, making it ideal to relax with reading a book or watching a movie.
