A mid-sleeper is a great option for those with lower ceilings or smaller bedrooms. They can be ideal for children who aren't yet children who can't afford an individual bed. Children older than them can use the space below for study or storage area.
Mid and high sleepers are suitable for children who are older than six. We recommend that they establish their sleeping habits before they start.

They are smaller than bunk beds with high sleepers which makes them a great option for bedrooms with smaller rooms and kids who are young. They're also spacious with storage space underneath that can be used for an office or play space. They offer enough headroom for children to climb and fall effortlessly. You can even add the trundle drawer, or a chair bed to many of our models, which allows you to transform your loft into a sleeping area when guests come over.

Style

It's a brilliant solution for children over 6 years old, as it elevates sleep and storage to new levels allowing the top bunk to be used as a play area or study.

Safety
A mid sleeper or cabin bed is a great space-saving option, but it's essential to take precautions for safety. It's important to make sure that the ladders you choose to use are sturdy and safe. instruct children on how to safely climb them, and stress that the top bunk shouldn't be used for play. You may also want to install a clip light on the ladder to make it more visible in the dark.
Some beds have a guard rail that is integrated into the frame, which can provide an extra layer of safety for children. This is especially useful in small bedrooms where bunk beds are difficult to navigate.
It's also important not to put the bed too close to blinds (especially cords) windows, heaters, or ceiling fans. The bed being too close to the wall could cause serious injury and entrapment. A mid sleeper or cabin bed should be at minimum 3.5" away from the wall to reduce this danger.
Do not hang anything from the railings that are on top of the bunk. If a child is caught in scarves, belts or similar items, they could strangle them. This is particularly a problem when children are asleep. It can happen in the blink of an eye, which is why it's recommended to keep these items away from reach.
Choose a mid-sleeper cabin bed with full-length rails on each side to provide an additional barrier for your kids. Also, don't rely on the wall to serve as a guard rail as a child may get stuck between the mattress and the wall, which could prove fatal.
The last thing to do is make sure you follow the directions for assembly and periodically check all screws and connectors to ensure the bed is stable and will not wobble. If you're not sure you're not sure, consult an expert for help. A solidly constructed bunk bed will last for a long time, however, it's always best to be on the safe side and never to compromise in regards to safety.
Storage
The beauty of the mid sleeper bunk bed is that the space underneath can be used for play and study. A lot of mid-sleeper beds for children have an office that can be removed. This gives your child their own space to work in, do homework and complete projects. It also encourages an appropriate balance between play and work.
