Mid Sleeper Small Single
Children's mid sleepers and cabin beds provide a variety of storage options that traditional bed frames can't. Desks that can be pulled out can be tucked neatly away into furniture when not being used and shelves are readily available to store their ever-growing collections.
Also, think about cabin beds for children with hooks for shelves that are perfect for reading or drinking a glass of water.
Sleeping Area
The sleeping platform of the mid-sleeper is elevated from the ground, and usually includes sides to create an environment of safety and security that encourages a healthy sleep posture and spinal alignment. This assists children to sleep longer, more comfortably and more peacefully, all of which contribute to their mental and physical health and wellbeing.
A mid sleeper small single is a great option for children making the transition from crib to bed as it provides a familiar and cozy sleeping space, while introducing the elements of a adult bed that promote independence. The elevated platform and enclosed space helps to promote relaxation and a peaceful bedtime routine, assisting them to settle down for a restful night's rest.
Mid sleeper cabins are designed to serve as multifunctional spaces for your child to study, play and take a nap. The raised sleeping surface is perfect for putting furniture like desks or a sofa on top and the sturdy construction means you aren't worried about it falling over. A mid sleeper is a great choice for kids who have begun to take an interest in academic pursuits and homework.
Children's mid sleepers may have built-in storage, which can give your children more room to sprawl out and unwind. They usually come with a pullout desk, a chest of drawers for storage or an extensive shelving system to hold books and toys. Certain models, such as the Julian Bowen Skye Playhouse Mid Sleeper, are made to resemble houses or castles for knights that children can decorate by adding windows and curtains for an exciting touch.
Most children's mid sleepers will feature ladders or stairs that help them climb to the platform that is above their bed. They are designed to be sturdy and safe, with guardrails as well as wide treads to make climbing easier for younger children. Always be watching your child when they are using the ladder or stairs to ensure they are adhering to safety guidelines and not trying to climb too quickly. There are also single mid-sleepers that do not require a ladder or steps at all. This will give a more sleek smaller, more compact appearance.
Mattress
There's a lot to love about a mid-sleeper small single. The vibrant designs and fun features of these beds captivate the imagination of children and let them relax in a dreamlike state. These beds can also be an ideal option for those who struggle to fit in wardrobe or drawer storage spaces, as they are usually equipped with built-in storage under bed solutions. The extra space under your mattress could be used to store smaller items that will expand with your child. It can be open cabinets that can be used for totes, or drawers that are neat and tidy, with a smooth, no-slip operation.
The kind of mattress you pick will be based on the position of your sleeper. A mattress with a soft feel is best for front or side sleepers, whereas a firmer mattress is ideal for stomach and back sleepers. There are mattresses that have added benefits such as anti-dustmite treatments and cooling qualities to help promote a healthy sleep. Some of these beds can accommodate desks that pull out to provide a perfect study space. These beds can be a lifesaver if you're struggling to clear the floor in your child's room and let them do their homework while they study.
Many of the mattresses we sell for mid sleeper cabin beds can be vacuum-packed for ease of delivery and reduces their size to only a fraction of their original size to allow simpler manoeuvre around your home upon arrival. This is a great option for people who have joint or back problems and are worried about the hassle of moving a large bed.
With the help of conversion kits, a few of our mid-sleeper beds can be transformed into a daybed and bunk beds. This allows them to develop with your child. This is ideal for families who might need to use a bedroom for a prolonged period of time. For instance the Kidsaw Urban Midsleeper 1 is classic white and birch bed that converts into a loft style bunk or a standard single bed with a ladder. Or, the Julian Bown Skye Playhouse Midsleeper is a design dream made to look like an old castle or a house and can be adorned with personal touches with curtains and twinkly lights, or removable stickers.
Under-bed Storage
One of the main benefits of mid sleeper cabin beds is that they come with plenty of clever storage options. Unlike high sleeper and bunk beds that are raised very high they usually sit just a few centimetres from the floor, leaving plenty of space underneath to add furniture and other useful features. Drawers are the most obvious solution for under bed storage. They can span the entire length of the bed, and be placed on either side or be used as tables for bedside. For a neat and seamless look, search for drawers that are designed to be a seamless fit into the divan base.
Another option for storage under the bed is woven baskets and drawers. They are made from natural materials. Woven fibres circulate air, preventing dampness and musty odours. The storage items are fresh and safe. A vacuum-packed storage bag is perfect for items that will be stored away for a longer time. It will eliminate all air and allow you to squeeze in more.
You can also choose small cabin beds with cabinets and drawers built-in. These beds will not only make the most of the space underneath your bed, but will also keep everything organized and tidy. Drawer systems with smooth, no-wobble runners are a must especially if you want to stop them from jamming. If you choose a wood model, opt for an aesthetically pleasing finish that blends with the rest of your room decor.
If you value studying then you should consider mid-sleeper cabin beds that have desks that are pull-out. These beds will not only provide your children with a comfortable space to study or chat with their friends, but they'll also save you space in their bedrooms. Look for grey midi bed that include chairs to make the most of this functional feature.
Design
A single bed is ideal for kids who like to climb, explore and discover. They are typically constructed of solid hardwoods and come with ladders that meet the strict safety standards. You can prevent from entrapment by choosing beds which have guard rails on the sides of the upper mattress. Some beds have a protective mesh that covers the mattress to provide you with extra peace of mind.
The majority of cabin beds for children are aimed at six year olds and above. They feature vibrant colors that entice their developing imaginations. You can also choose an option that has shelving and a pull out desk that can be used to play or study.
Many of our designs come with accessories such as tunnels, tents and pockets organizers to keep the bedroom neat and organised. For instance, the Pino wooden mid sleeper with curtain is available in three frame colors and 9 different bed curtains that range from simple neutrals to themes like princesses and unicorns.
A conversion kit is available separately to convert some of our loft beds or single cabins into a bunk bed or day bed. This allows your child to adapt the space according to their preferences. If you are thinking of a single cabin bed that can be converted make sure you choose a sturdy design that can support adults with a weight limit of up to 80kg.
Choose a neutral look to accommodate different preferences when introducing a tiny single in a shared bedroom. You could paint the walls with a fresh coat of grey or duck egg blue to create a background that can be easily transformed with bedding and furniture in shades of purple, pink, red or any other shade your child loves.
If you're planning to add a single cabin bed to a bedroom for your child, you should consider opting for one that has an integrated wardrobe built in. This will help save space on the floor, and make it easier for your child's clothing to be organized. Our Julian Bowen Stella and Cookie mid sleeper models come with drawers on the sides that provide plenty of storage space for toys, books and other bits and bobs.
