Cabin Beds

What is a cabin bed?

Cabin beds are a form of kids’ storage beds. They’re typically elevated high above the ground and come with a ladder or steps for easy access to the sleeping area. The space underneath can then be used for storage, a study, or a play area – or even a combination of all three. For example, some of our kids’ cabin beds feature a built-in desk and storage that can be used for both homework or arts and crafts.

What are the main types of cabin bed?

Kids’ cabin beds differ by what’s included beneath the raised sleeping space. The three main types are mid sleepers, desk beds and high sleepers.

Mid sleepers

Mid sleepers 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 your little one’s room tidy.

Desk beds

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

High sleepers

As the name suggests, high sleeper beds are the tallest option of kids’ cabin beds. This means they can accommodate even more space underneath. Some come with a desk and wardrobe space too, making them a great storage option.

What are the benefits cabin bed?

Cabin beds help to keep rooms tidy, as bits and bobs can be easily stored in the space underneath. This allows you to free up floor space and gives kids more room to play.

One of the main advantages of a kids’ cabin bed with a desk is that it can promote studying in young children. Having somewhere dedicated for kids to complete their homework encourages good routine. If your child is creative and loves arts and crafts, consider a desk bed with plenty of drawer space for pens, paper and other art materials. If they like to read, consider a cabin bed with shelves to store their favourite bedtime reads.

What size cabin bed should I get?

All of our kids’ cabin beds are built to fit single mattresses, which are 3’0 / 91.4cm wide. The main way our cabin beds differ is in terms of height.

A mid sleeper, for example, will be roughly 100-140cm tall. Whereas a high sleeper can average at around 150-180cm tall. The one you should 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’ll be best suited to a kids’ storage bed with a wardrobe and desk. This will ensure floor space is maximised, leaving your child with plenty of room to play.

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

What style cabin bed should I get?

As well as offering a comfortable night’s sleep and extra storage, different cabin bed options will also have an impact on the overall look of your child’s bedroom.
