Cabin Beds

What is a cabin bed?

Cabin beds are a form of kids storage beds. They are typically elevated high above the ground and accessible with a ladder. The space underneath can then be used be used for storage or as a study and play area. For example, our kids cabin beds feature a built in desk underneath or wardrobes, shelves or drawers to help save space.

What are the main types of cabin bed?

Cabin beds differ by what is included beneath the raised sleeping space. The three main types are midsleepers, desk beds and high sleepers.

Midsleepers

Midsleepers, such as the Tinsley are a little shorter than the average bunk bed. They offer storage solutions which often include shelves, storage cubes, drawers or cupboards. These are ideal if your main goal is maximising space and keeping their room tidy.

Desk Beds

Desk beds often incorporate additional storage solutions, while including a pull-out desk. These cabin beds provide a handy space for your child to do homework or just get creative.

Highsleeper Beds

As the name suggests, high beds are the tallest option of cabin beds. This means they can accommodate more space. For example, some come with a desk underneath. Plenty come with wardrobe space too making them a great kids storage bed.

What are the benefits of cabin beds?

Cabin beds are the perfect kids storage bed thanks to the abundance of storage solutions within the bed frame. They help to keep rooms tidy, as bits and bobs can be easily stored in the cupboards underneath. This amount of space also allows an abundance of floor space. This means they have more room to play.

One of the main advantages of a desk bed is that it can promote study in young children. They allow creativity to run wild and gives children their own space to complete homework, ensuring they are tired come bedtime. If your child is creative and love crafts, consider a desk bed with plenty of drawer space for pens, paper and other art materials. If they like to read, consider a futon and bookshelf.

What size cabin bed should I get?

All of our cabin beds are built to fit single mattresses, which are 3’0 wide. The main way our cabin beds differ is in terms of height.

A midsleeper, for example, will be roughly 100-140cm tall. Whereas a high sleeper can average at around 150-180cm tall. Which one you go for depends on the space you have available, as well as what you’re after in terms of storage solutions.

For those who have small rooms, you will be best suited to a kids storage bed with a wardrobe and desk. This will ensure any floor space is maximised, leaving your child with plenty of room to play.

Rooms that are average sized or large clearly have the most choice as they can pick what suits without thinking about space. In these instances, it’s best to think what will enhance your child’s experience of their bedroom most.

What style cabin bed should I get?

As well as offering a comfortable night’s sleep, and extra storage, different options will have an impact on the style of your child’s bedroom. They result in additional space and create a cleaner look. This is why our cabin beds are often available in neutral colours, including a white cabin bed, which can blend seamlessly into the existing décor. This also helps as they grow up and their interests change.
