Mid Sleeper Bunk Bed
A mid-sleeper can be a great option for those with lower ceilings or smaller bedrooms. They provide children with an exciting and practical alternative to a traditional single bed, and older children can utilize the space beneath for studying and storage.
Mid and high sleepers are suitable for children 6 years and over - however we recommend that your child is established in their sleeping habits prior using this kind of bed.
Size
Mid sleeper bunk beds are lower to the ground than high sleepers, which means they're an excellent choice for children who are younger and with smaller bedrooms. They have plenty of storage space beneath that can be used as an area for play or a desk. They also offer plenty of headroom for children to climb up and down with ease. You can even add a trundle drawer or chair bed to many of our models, allowing you to convert your child's loft into an extra sleeping space for guests to are visiting.

Selecting a mattress that is suitable is an important consideration because you'll need to ensure that it's the correct size for your child's.

We have a variety of mattresses that are suitable for mid and high sleeper bunk beds.
Style
Like its name suggests the mid sleeper bunk bed is located at a mid-height, with the sleeping space accessed via a ladder or a staircase. It's a great option for children who are older than six years old, as it allows the top bunk to function as an area for study or play.
It's a great option for small bedrooms as it maximises floor space without sacrificing the height of the ceiling. It's a great choice for bedrooms with limited space, as it makes the most of the floor space, without losing ceiling height.
Some children's mid sleeper bunk beds can also be converted into smaller sizes, such as a single bed by the use of clever extension kits - this is a very popular and ideal option for older children who may want a bit more space or separation from their younger siblings. Another alternative is a high-sleeper bed that is elevated and the mattress is reached by a ladder or staircase. This style is popular with teens and preteens because it's more mature and can be integrated into a loft space or attic.
Both mid and high sleeper beds are a great choice for kids who love to think up and play games such as "castle" or "fort" because they have plenty of space under which they can build an enticing retreat, a secret hideaway or even their own private gaming space complete with curtains or fairy lights.

Safety
A mid sleeper or cabin bed is a great space-saving solution, but it's essential to ensure safety precautions. It's crucial to ensure that the ladders you are using are sturdy and safe, teach children how to safely climb them, and make it clear that the top bunk shouldn't be used to play. Install a light clip on the ladder to ensure that it is more visible at night.
Some beds come with a guard rail integrated into the frame, which could add an extra layer of safety for children. This is particularly beneficial for bedrooms with small spaces, as a bunk bed can be tricky to navigate without the risk of falling over furniture or other items within the room.
It's also important to not position the bed too close to blinds (especially cords), windows, heaters or ceiling fans. If the bed is too close, it could lead to entrapment and serious injury. A mid-sleeper or cabin bed should be at minimum 3.5" away from the wall to reduce the risk.
Do not hang anything over the railings on the top bunk. Belts, scarves, and similar items can make a child strangle if they are they are caught. This can happen very quickly, especially when children are asleep.
If you are choosing a mid-sleeper or cabin bed, look for one with full-length guard rails across the entire length to provide an additional barrier to your children. Don't depend on the wall as a guard rail pink mid sleeper cabin bed - a child could wedge themselves between the mattress and the wall, which could prove fatal.
The last thing to do is ensure you follow the directions for assembly and regularly check all connectors and screws to ensure that the bed is sturdy and will not wobble. Get help from an expert in case you're not sure. If you want to make sure that your bunk bed lasts for a long time it is advisable to be on the safest side.
Storage
The beauty of a mid-sleeper bunk bed is that the space underneath can be used for both play and studying. In fact, many kids' mid-sleeper beds include the option of a pull-out desk that is part of the design. This allows your child to have their own personal space to work on their homework and projects. It encourages an appropriate balance between play and work.
