What is a mid sleeper bed?

A mid sleeper bed is a specific style of cabin bed that offers a range of space-saving solutions, perfect for a kid’s bedroom. Usually featuring a small ladder for access, the bed is elevated from the floor leaving the space beneath ready for whatever you deem fit.

How to make the most out of a mid sleeper bed

There’s a range of options for how to utilise the extra space you are granted with a mid sleeper. Some of the most popular options combine furniture and desk space to give your child’s bedroom a more homely feel. By creating space for extra drawers and shelving, as well as a desk or chill out zone, a mid sleeper can really transform a small bedroom into one that feels much bigger. Or, you could choose an Ottoman styled mid sleeper with an easy lift mattress that transforms the space beneath into a large storage area, perfect for clunky items, clothing and shoes.

What age range is a mid sleeper bed suitable for?

Mid sleepers are perfect for all ages, from younger children right up to teenagers. It is the style of mid sleeper and how you customise it that dictates what age range the bed is suitable for. We’ve put together a quick guide below to help you decide what style mid sleeper your child will most enjoy.

• 6 to 9 years:

  Consider a fun and colourful design that your little one can turn into a princess castle, spaceship, or whatever their imagination wants. Some mid sleepers come with a tent design underneath the raised bed, perfect for a play space that can easily be hidden away, giving the bedroom an uncluttered and tidy look. With the option for shelving, a mid sleeper can be the perfect solution for storing books and toys in a fun and tidy style.

• 10+ years:

  Opt for a stylish, modern design to give your child’s room an older, more teenage feel. Mid sleepers often come with a pull out desk and bookshelf and can be a helpful tool when getting your young ones to do their homework. If your child is creatively inclined, the desk and drawer space are perfect for storing pens, pencils, paints and paper, meaning you can keep the rest of the house clutter-free.

Are mid sleeper beds safe?

When considering a child’s bed, safety is of the utmost importance. Mid-sleepers match up with all regulations and ensure your child will stay safe throughout the night. With edging that rises above the mattress, your child will get a perfect’s night sleep without you having to worry about them falling out.

The most important consideration when buying a mid sleeper is what mattress depth you need. The mattress must sit lower than the framing to prevent your child from rolling out. Most often, this should be at a maximum of 15cm, however, make sure to check the specific details or speak to one of our sleep advisors if you want extra support.

Whatever you decide, mid sleepers come with a range of different options and customisations that mean you will certainly find the perfect, safe solution for your child’s needs.
