High Sleeper Beds

What are the benefits of a high sleeper bed?

High sleepers are great space-saving solutions for kids' or teens' bedrooms. They elevate the sleeping area to free up the floor space underneath, which can be used for built-in desks, chairs, or storage compartments. This makes high sleeper beds ideal for studying and keeping a tidy room – you’re welcome, parents!

What are the different styles of high sleeper beds?

Our high sleeper beds come in a few different models:

• High sleeper beds with storage - Great for smaller bedrooms or messy little ones, high sleepers with drawers or shelves keep rooms tidy and organised.
• High sleepers with a sofa bed and desk - A high sleeper bed with a built-in comfy futon underneath creates the perfect chill-out space. The futon easily pulls out, transforming it into a sleep space for guests. These even come with a separate desk and chair, offering the ideal mix of studying and relaxation.
• High sleeper beds with desks - These high sleeper beds are great for teens because they offer a desk area for studying or gaming.

Are high sleeper beds safe?

Yes, our high sleepers are designed with safety as a top priority. Made in accordance with the British Safety Standards, and featuring guard rails and sturdy ladders, you can rest assured that your children will be safe. When assembling, ensure the frame is secure and your child is old enough to climb up and down the ladder.

What age range are high sleeper bed frames suitable for?

Because of their elevated height and the ladders and rails, high sleeper beds are suitable for kids aged 6 and up. They are especially useful for older kids and teens who need dedicated storage space or a desk for studying.

For younger kids, mid sleepers aren’t as high to the ground, offering the same storage benefits. For more information, read our mid and high-sleeper guide.

What colour and materials are high sleeper beds available in?

All of our high sleeper beds are made from high-quality durable wood, which is easy to clean and maintain. Choose from bright whites, neutral greys and bold blacks; all are great for matching any room décor as your child ages.

Can you help me assemble my high sleeper bed?

Yes, while all our high sleeper beds come with instructions, we do offer a handy assembly service. We’ll deliver your high sleeper to your room of choice, put it together, and even take away your old bed with our recycling service.

What size mattress do I need for a high sleeper bed?

Our high sleeper beds average 5 to 6.5 feet in height, offering the same sleep space as a single bed. Generally, a standard single mattress will fit most high sleeper bed frames, but you’ll need to ensure that the mattress is no more than 15cm thick to ensure the guard rails are at the correct height.
