Mid Sleeper Beds
Mid sleepers are lower to ground than a high sleeper and have a smaller ladder or staircase, making them ideal for children who are younger. They also have space underneath for storage, desks or spare beds, as well as play areas.
A lot of cabin beds have an amazing under-bed tent that comes in many themes and colors. They are a favorite among children and can serve as a place to relax or a reading zone.
Size
Despite their name, mid sleepers are actually lower to the ground than high sleeper cabin beds, and thus are more suitable for children of all age groups. They are also great for bedrooms with smaller spaces since they don't require the same amount of floor space as a conventional single bed.
They have many of the same great features of a high sleeper but at a lower, more comfortable height for sleeping. This means that your child will stay safe and secure at night while having access to the play area beneath their mattress.
Mid sleeper beds are offered in a variety of exciting designs that will inspire creativity and make the transition from their old bed to their new one fun. There are a variety of designs that include an area for children to play and sleep in or even a desk for homework or studying. Alternatively, many have drawers that trundle or a pull-out bed for a chair for guests to sleep over.
A good quality mid-sleeper will also provide a variety of storage options to aid your child in keeping their space tidy and organized. They could include storage drawers, cabinets or shelving for toys and books. Some even have a desk with an open table to work from or studying. The Trasman Mid Sleeper Cabin bed is an excellent model, as it comes with all of these features.
For older children, a mid-sleeper with a desk will give them the perfect space to play and focus on their favourite hobbies while getting enough sleep. Some designs have slides that are fun and could be a fantastic addition to the bedroom. They can zip up and down with their friends in the course of a playdate or a slumberparty. It will certainly be the envy of their peers! The majority of our mid and high sleeper beds are designed with longevity in mind and can be modified to your needs as your child develops. This feature is standard to all Lifetime Kids furniture, so your child can enjoy their high or mid sleeper well into their teens.
Style
A mid sleeper is a bed that sits at a higher height than high sleepers or bunks but lower than a loft bed. This makes it ideal for children who prefer to have a bit more head space, but still prefer the practical aspects of a high sleeper such as shelves and desks.
These beds are available in a wide range of styles so you can be assured that whatever your child's hobbies are, there will be the right design for them. Some are simply normal beds with different colours or patterns on the frame whilst others come with amusing features like desks, tents, and storage for books. There's even an option that allows the ladder to be attached on either side of your bed, so that you can easily navigate the way to climb.
Some high and mid sleeper beds also have extra furniture, such as the desk or a pull out chair bed for guests to sleep over on. This makes the space underneath their bed a feature of their bedroom, and it can also encourage children to keep it neat and tidy.
If your child likes to play with toys, they will love having a den underneath their bed. You can even choose designs where they can hang curtains or fairy lights on their den to create a truly magical space. There are also some that have a more neutral design that allows your child to use the space for studying or just relaxing with cushions and the addition of a lamp.
When your child is ready to move up to a higher sleeper bed can be converted to a smaller size, like one. This is a wise investment because it will save you money over the long term and your child will be able to use their favorite bed through their childhood and even through their teens. This is an excellent option for families with more than one child because you'll save money on purchasing two separate beds.
Stores
Children have a lot! It's essential that they have a place to store all of their belongings, especially in a space that is small like one for children. We have a range of beds with built-in storage that will help your child stay organised and tidy. There are plenty of choices to choose from, including single beds with storage drawers, and high-sleepers of full size that come with drawers with trundle for guests.
Mid sleepers, also referred to as low bunk beds, are the ideal option to maximize the space in your child’s room. They're a nice middle between the traditional single bed and high or loft sleepers and offer plenty of entertainment practicality, and are a great option for small bedrooms or children who might be worried about sleeping too high. Mid sleeper beds can be raised higher than standard single beds to provide more space for storage and even here a play area.
The beds are equipped with a range of storage options, including shelving units or cubes as well as wardrobes bookcases, and trundle drawers. You may even find one with a pull-out desk which can be used to do homework or study and then moved back in when not needed.
Many of our beds for middle-sleepers are designed to suit either girls or boys bedrooms. They may come with tents or fairy lights as well as rock climbing walls or even a slide to add a touch of adventure! Some have a cosy den under, with curtains or a chair so your kids can relax with a good book, coffee or tea, and relax in their own reading space.
Other models, like our Marlowe mid-sleeper bed, are designed with no storage beneath and have a bookcase at the end of the bed - perfect for creating a super cool reading area or place to read. Combine this with bean bags to create a cozy reading area.
Safety
A mid-sleeper is a great option to a single bed, because it has desk space that is not used. This frees up floor space which can be used for useful purposes like a wardrobe, additional storage space or even a play space. The desk is integrated into the frame, so it's safe and sturdy for your child. They are often fitted with steps or ladders for easy access. They are also available in various styles, so that your child can choose their favorite. There are designs with a desk for pirates or castle-themed ones!
Mid sleepers can be an ideal option for younger children as they provide an area where they can play, sleep and study. Most manufacturer guidelines suggest that your child be at minimum 6 years old before they can sleep in a mid-sleeper because of safety rules.
Both high and mid sleeper beds are very similar in terms of safety as they both have an access ladder and safety panels that need to be put in place. If you follow the instructions for assembly and use your high or mid sleeper correctly there aren't any safety concerns.
Carpet should be placed under your raised bed, just as you would with a cabin mattress, to minimize the chance that your child could be injured severely when they fall off. Also, make sure that your child is not using the high or mid sleeper as a climbing frame and that it's only to be used for sleeping at night. Since climbing up the ladder or playing on it can lead to serious injuries, it is important to ensure that your child is not sleeping on their bed during the night.
Both mid and high sleepers make a great alternative to a traditional single bed. They are great for bedrooms that are smaller and also are great for rooms with architectural quirks like low ceilings. Children love them and they're a great way to sleep. However, you must remember that they need to be at least 6 years old to sleep in one.
