Mid Sleeper Small Single
Children's mid-sleepers and cabin beds provide a variety of storage facilities that traditional bed frames cannot. Consider options like pull out desks that can be pushed neatly into furniture when not in use, and plenty of shelves to accommodate their ever-growing collection of toys and games.
You can also consider bunk beds for kids with shelves that are equipped with hooks that are ideal for drinking a glass of water or reading.
Sleeping Area
The sleeping platform of a mid-sleeper is elevated from the ground, and usually has sides to provide an environment that is secure and safe that promotes good sleep posture and spinal alignment. This helps children sleep longer, longer and more soundly - all of which contribute to their physical and mental health and wellbeing.
The small, mid-sleeper bed is an excellent choice for children who are transitioning from cribs to beds. It offers a familiar space for sleeping that is comfortable and introduces the elements of an adult bed that promote independence. The elevated platform and enclosed space can also help to promote peace and a peaceful evening routine.

Children's mid sleepers can come with built-in storage, which can provide your kids with more space to sprawl out and relax. These beds often include an adjustable desk, chest of drawers for storage, or a large shelving unit to store books and toys. Certain models, such as the Julian Bowen Skye Playhouse mid sleeper - have been designed to resemble a home or knight's fort, which kids can customize with curtains, windows and twinkly lights for an extra-fun feature.
The majority of children's mid-sleepers include stairs or ladders that help them climb to the platform that is above their bed. They are designed to be strong and secure, with guardrails and wide treads to make climbing easier for children who are younger. It's always recommended to be a vigilant observer of your child while they use the ladder or stairs to ensure they are following safety guidelines and aren't trying to climb up in a hurry! You can also find single-mid sleepers that don't require ladders or any stairs at all, to give a more sleek and compact look.
Mattress
There's a lot to love about a mid sleeper compact single. Their striking designs and exciting features draw children's attention and allow them to drift off to a dream more easily.

The kind of mattress you select will depend on the sleeper's preferred sleeping position and comfort level.

Under-bed Storage
A big draw of mid-sleeper cabin beds is that they offer plenty of clever storage options. They are typically just a few centimeters off the ground unlike high sleeper or bunk beds that are raised to a high level. This allows plenty of room underneath for furniture and other useful features. Drawers are the best option for storage under the bed. They can be placed at either end of the bed or along its length. Some even have space for a bedside table. Look out for drawers that fit seamlessly into the divan base to create a neat and seamless look.
Another option for storage under beds is woven baskets and drawers. They are made from natural materials. Woven fibers circulate air and eliminate dampness and musty odors. This keeps stored items fresh and secure. For items that will be stored for longer durations and require a vacuum-packed storage bag is a great choice since it eliminates all air which allows you to squeeze more space.
