Mid Sleeper Beds

Children love the mid-sleeper bed. Many come with a fun and exciting tent that can transform the space beneath into a campervan, tractor or pirate's hideaway for fun and imaginative play.

They also have plenty of headroom, making them a great alternative to a high sleeper or bunk bed for children with lower ceilings. Some models come with drawers for trundles, or other storage options.

Size

In contrast to bunk beds, mid-sleeper beds are lower in height, making them ideal for smaller bedrooms. They are typically built with extra space under the sleeping area to store items of storage. The Marlowe Mid Sleeper Bed, for instance, comes with a bookcase on the end that is ideal for storing your books. It also has a desk which can be used for crafts and games, or as a study area.

There are also many different designs of children's mid sleepers to pick from. Some are painted in a block-coloured color while others come with exciting features that make them stand out. Some have tents beneath them that can be used as an enclave or a den in their imagination, whereas others come with storage space or steps that make it feel like they are climbing into an adventure before they go to bed!

Some beds might have a rope or slide to make them feel like they are going on an adventure every time they lie down. There are also those that are crafted to look like a treehouse or even a pirate ship to inspire their imagination and increase their curiosity!

One of the best things about children's mid sleeper beds is that they can be used up to their teenage years. Some beds can be made into a bunk bed at a later date, so that the child is able to have their bed.

Depending on the design, some mid-sleeper / cabin beds will specify a maximum mattress height to ensure safety standards are met.

Bunk and loft bed injuries are quite common, but they can be avoided by following simple safety guidelines. The main thing to do is ensure that the guard rails are put in place correctly, that there aren't any gaps or gaps between the frame and mattress and that the frame isn't surrounded by gaps between it and the wall.

Also, ensure that your child does not jump or climb on the bed while playing or sleeping. Injuries involving these types of activities usually result in bruises and cuts, rather than broken bones, however they can still be dangerous if they hit someone or anything below them. It's also a good thing to avoid putting the mid-sleeper close to any light source, and to check regularly that all fittings haven't become loose.

In general, mid-sleeper and cabin beds are very safe for young teens and children. If they are built and properly assembled, and if you adhere to the manufacturer's safety guidelines, then there shouldn't be any problems.

However, we suggest waiting until your child is at minimum six years old before moving them into a high or mid sleeper bed. These beds are high and only be accessible via stairs or ladders, so they may not suit very young children.
