Mid Sleeper Bunk Bed
A mid-sleeper can be a great option for those with rooms with lower ceilings or are smaller. They can be a great alternative for younger children to an individual bed. Children older than them can use the space below to storage space or study.
High and mid sleepers are suitable for children who are older than six. However, we suggest that they have established their sleeping habits prior to that.
Size
Mid sleeper bunk beds are lower to the ground than high sleepers, so they're a great option for kids younger than a child and those with smaller bedrooms. They offer plenty of storage space beneath that can be used for a desk or play space. They also have plenty of headroom to allow children to climb up and down easily. You can even add a trundle drawer or chair bed to many of our models, which allows you to turn your loft into a sleeping space when friends come over.
High and mid-sleeper beds are multifunctional furniture that gives your children a space at home where they can study, complete their homework, and unwind. This helps them get an excellent night's sleep and encourages a healthy life by providing them with everything they require all in one place.
You can pick from a range of options, including pull-out chairs and sofas to match the space and preferences of your child. A majority of our models have a handy bookcase or shelving, making it simple for them to keep their books and other belongings organised. Some models have desks. This is a great option for those who want to develop their own study habits and independence, by working at their own pace in a space that is exclusively theirs.
The selection of a mattress is a vital consideration, as you'll need to ensure that it's the correct height for your child. We recommend that you invest in a high-quality foam mattress specifically designed for your child's bedroom. Alternately, you can use an existing mattress as long as it's not more than 15cm thick. We have a wide selection of mattresses suitable for high and mid sleeper bunk beds.
Style
The mid sleeper bunk is situated at a moderate height. It has a sleeping area accessible via a staircase or ladder. It's an excellent solution for children who are older than 6 years old, since it allows the top bunk to function as a study or play area.
The space below is perfect for a range of fun features such as the bookcase, desk or sofa, making it the perfect choice for kids who want to create cozy dens or a playroom. It's a great choice for bedrooms with small spaces, since it increases the floor space without cutting down on the ceiling height.
Some children's mid sleeper bunk beds can be converted to smaller formats, like one bed through the use of clever extension kits - this is particularly popular and an excellent choice for older children who want a bit more space or privacy from their younger siblings. Other options include the high sleeper, which is elevated higher and the mattress is accessed by a ladder or a stairwell and this design is often popular with teenagers and preteens as it's more grown up and can be put into a loft or attic space.
Both mid and high sleeper beds are a great option for kids who like to play with their imagination and imagine games like 'castle' or 'fort' because they have plenty of space beneath which they can build a cosy retreat, a secret hideaway or even their own personal gaming area complete with curtains or fairy lights. Many mid sleeper bunk beds also have an excellent trundle drawer that can be pulled out and instantly transforms the bed into a super-cool sleepover bed - ideal for parties or friends visiting at weekends!

Safety
Mid sleepers or cabin beds can be an excellent space-saving option, but safety precautions are essential. It's crucial to ensure that the ladders you choose to use are sturdy and safe, teach children how to climb them safely, and make it clear that the top bunk shouldn't be used for play. It is also possible to install a clip light on the ladder to make it more visible in the dark.
Some beds have a safety rail built into the frame, which can provide an extra layer of protection for children. This is especially useful in smaller rooms where bunk beds are difficult to maneuver.
It is essential to avoid placing the bed too near blinds (especially cords) heaters, blinds, or ceiling fans. The bed's proximity to the wall could cause serious injuries and entrapment. A mid sleeper or cabin bed should be at minimum 3.5" away from the wall to minimise the risk.
Another crucial safety measure is to avoid hanging anything from the railings that guard the top bunk. Belts, scarves, and similar items could cause strangulation if a child is they are caught. This can happen quickly, especially when children are sleeping.
When choosing a mid sleeper or cabin bed, look for one with full-length guard rails across the entire length to provide an additional security measure for your children. Don't depend on the wall as a railing for your child as a child may wedge themselves between the mattress and the wall, which could be fatal.
Last but not least, make sure you follow the directions for assembly and regularly check all screws and connectors to ensure the bed is sturdy and will not wobble. Consult a professional in case you're not sure. A well-constructed bunk bed will last a long time, but it's important to stay on the safe side and not to make a mistake in regards to safety.
