Mid Sleeper Beds
Mid sleepers are lower to ground than a high sleeper and have a shorter staircase or ladder, so they are great for younger children. They have plenty of room underneath for desks, storage and spare beds.
A lot of cabin beds have a fantastic under-bed tent with many themes and colors. These are popular with children and can be used as a chill-out or den zone.
Size
Mid sleepers are lower than high sleeper beds in spite of their name. They are thus more appropriate for children. They are also great for smaller bedrooms as they don't occupy the same amount of space as the standard single bed.
They share many of the great features as a high-sleeper but at a lower, more comfortable height for sleeping. This lets your child rest comfortably and secure at night, while still having a play area beneath their mattress.
What's great is that mid-sleeper beds are often available in a variety of thrilling designs to stimulate imagination and make the transition to a new bed a lot of fun. There are many designs that include an area for children to sleep and play in, or even a desk for homework or studying. There are also drawers that trundle or a pull-out bed for a chair for extra guests at sleepovers.
A good quality mid-sleeper can also offer a range of storage options to aid your child in keeping their space tidy and organized. They could include shelves, drawers or cupboards for books and toys. Some come with a desk that has a pull-out table for homework or studying. The Trasman Mid Sleeper Cabin bed is a great example, as it includes all of these features.
A mid-sleeper that has desks is a great option for older children who wish to unwind and enjoy their hobbies while getting a good sleep.

Some high and mid-sleeper beds also have extra furniture like the desk or a pull out chair bed for guests to rest on. This makes the space under their bed a real feature of their bedroom and could help children keep their room tidy, neat and tidy.
If your child likes to play with toys, they will enjoy having a playroom under their bed. You can even find designs that allow them to hang curtains or fairy lights on their den to create a truly amazing space. Some designs are more neutral that allow your child to use it for studying or relaxing.

We have a wide selection of beds that have built-in storage options to help your child stay organised and tidy. From single beds with storage drawers to full size high sleepers with trundle drawers to provide additional sleeping space for guests staying over, there's bound to be a solution to meet your needs.
A mid sleeper, also known as a cabin bed or a low bunk bed, is a great way to make the most of the limited space in your child's bedroom. They're a good alternative to a single bed and loft or high sleeper beds. They are full of entertainment and practicality and are an excellent choice for kids with smaller bedrooms or those who are concerned about sleeping too high. Mid sleeper beds can be raised higher than conventional single beds to allow more storage space and even a play area.

Safety
A mid-sleeper can be an excellent alternative to a standard single bed since it offers the space-saving advantages of a desk built into the design. This gives an additional floor space that can be used for other uses such as storage space, a closet or a play area. The desk is integrated into the frame, making it safe and sturdy for your child. Most beds include stairs or ladders for access and many come in different styles, so your child will find their preferred. There are beds with a pirate desk or castle-themed ones!
Mid sleepers can be an ideal option for younger children as they provide a space where they can play, study and sleep. Most manufacturer guidelines suggest that your child be at six years old when they sleep in a mid-sleeper due to safety regulations.
Both high and mid sleeper beds are very similar in terms of safety, as both come with an access ladder and safety panels that have to be fitted. If you follow the instructions and use your mid or high sleeper properly then there shouldn't be any safety concerns.
Similar to cabin beds, you should always make sure that carpet is put under your bed to decrease the chance of serious injuries if your child falls from it. Also, ensure that your child is not using the mid or high sleeper as a climbing platform and that it's only to be used for sleeping during the night. A child's play on the ladder or climbing into bed can cause serious injuries, so it's crucial to ensure that your child only uses their bed for sleeping.
Both mid and high sleepers are a excellent alternative to a traditional single bed. They are ideal for bedrooms with smaller spaces, and they also work well in rooms with architectural quirks like low ceilings. Children love them and they are great for sleeping. However, it is important to keep in mind that they must be 6 years old in order to sleep in one.
