Mid Sleeper Small Single
Children's mid sleepers and cabin beds provide a variety of storage options that standard bed frames simply cannot. Desks with pull-outs can be neatly tucked away into furniture when not being used, and shelves are available to store their ever-growing collection.
You can also consider bunk beds for kids with shelves that are equipped with hooks - ideal for drinking a glass of water or reading.
Sleeping Area
The sleeping platform on a mid-sleeper is elevated above the ground, often with sides to create a safe and secure space that encourages good posture for sleep and spinal alignment. This allows children to sleep longer, better and more soundly. It also helps their physical and mental health.
A mid sleeper small single is also a great choice for kids who are making the transition from crib to bed as it provides a familiar and comforting sleeping area while introducing elements of a grown-up bed that encourages independence. The elevated platform and enclosed space provides a relaxing and peaceful routine for bedtime, helping them settle down for a restful night's sleep.
Mid sleeper cabins are designed to serve as multi-purpose spaces for your child to study, play and rest. The raised sleeping surface allows you to place furniture like a desk or sofa underneath. It's also strong, so there's no need to worry about falling. This makes a mid sleeper a clever option for children who are beginning to show interest in their academic and homework pursuits.
Mid-sleeper beds for children are often equipped with built-in storage that can provide your kids with more space to sprawl out and relax.

The majority of children's mid-sleepers have stairs or ladders that allow them to climb up to the platform that is above their bed. They are designed to be strong and safe, with guardrails and wide treads to make climbing easier for children who are younger. It's always an excellent idea to watch your child while they use the ladder or stairs to ensure that they follow safety guidelines and aren't trying to get up too high too fast! You can also get single-mid sleepers that don't require ladders or any stairs at all, to give a more sleek and compact appearance.

Under-bed Storage
One of the major benefits of mid-sleeper cabin beds is that they provide plenty of clever storage options.

The most obvious bedside storage solution is a set of drawers. These can run the full length of the bed, be positioned at either end or incorporate a space for tables for bedside. For a sleek smooth finish, opt for drawers that have been designed to fit seamlessly into the divan base.
Another option for storage under beds is woven drawers and baskets. They are made from natural materials. Woven fibres circulate air, preventing dampness and musty smells. The storage items are fresh and secure. A storage bag that is vacuum-packed is perfect for items that will be stored for a longer period of time. It will eliminate any air and allow you to squeeze into more.

These mid-sleepers are often made of solid hardwoods, and are equipped with ladders which meet the strict safety standards.
