Mid Sleeper Small Single Isn't As Difficult As You Think
Mid Sleeper Small Single
Standard bed frames don't offer the same storage options as mid sleepers or cabin beds. Consider options like desks that are pull-out and can be easily tucked into the furniture when not in use, as well as ample shelving to accommodate their ever-growing assortment of games and toys.
You can also consider bunk beds for kids with shelves that have handy hooks - perfect to drink a glass of water or reading.
Sleeping Area
The sleeping platform of the mid-sleeper is elevated from the ground and usually has sides to provide an environment that is secure and safe that encourages good posture and spinal alignment. This helps children sleep longer, longer and more peacefully, all contributing to their physical and mental health and well-being.
The mid sleeper small single bed is a great option for children who are transitioning from cribs to beds. It offers a comfortable space for sleeping that is comfortable and introduces the elements of a adult bed that encourage independence. The elevated platform and enclosed space also provides a relaxing and peaceful bedtime routine, helping them relax for a peaceful night's rest.
Mid sleeper cabins are designed as multi-purpose spaces for children to study, play and take a nap. The elevated sleeping surface allows you to place furniture like an office or a sofa under. It's also durable and doesn't need to worry about it falling. A mid-sleeper is a great choice for kids who have begun to show interest in academic pursuits and homework.
Mid-sleeper beds for children are often equipped with built-in storage options that provide your kids with more space to sprawl out and relax. These beds typically have an adjustable desk, a chest of storage drawers or a large shelving unit to store toys and books. Some models, like the Julian Bowen Skye Playhouse Mid Sleeper, are made to resemble houses or knight's castles that kids can customize with curtains and windows for a playful touch.
Most children's mid-sleepers will have an stairway or ladder that aids in reaching the platform that sleeps above. They're designed with wide treads and guardrails to allow young children to climb. It is always an excellent idea to watch your child when they're using the stairs or ladder to ensure that they adhere to the safety guidelines and aren't attempting to climb up in a hurry! There are also single mid-sleepers that don't require ladders or stairs at all, for a sleeker, more compact look.
Mattress
There's a lot to like about a mid sleeper small single. Their striking designs and exciting features entice children's imagination and help them sleep more quickly. They are also an ideal option for those who struggle to fit in wardrobe or drawer storage spaces, since most come with built-in under bed storage solutions. Whether it's open cupboards ready for totes or neat and tidy drawers with smooth, no-wobble operation, the extra space under the mattress could be perfect for adaptable low-level storage that can expand with your child's.
The type of mattress you choose will depend on the preference for your sleep position, with a softer feel more suitable for front and side sleepers than a more firm one. You can also find various mattresses that offer additional benefits, like anti-dust mite treatments and cooling properties that promote healthy rest. Some of these beds include pull-out desks, which are ideal for studying. They can be a lifesaver for those struggling to clear the floor in your child's bedroom and allow them to do their homework while they study.
Many of the mattresses we sell for mid sleeper cabin beds can be vacuum-packed to make delivery easier, which reduces their size to only a fraction of their original size for ease of movement around your home after arriving. This is a great option for people who have joint or back problems and are concerned about moving a bed.
By converting them with optional kits, some of our beds for mid-sleepers can be transformed into a daybed as well as a bunkbed. This allows them to develop with your child. This is a great option for families that may require a shared bedroom for a long period of time. For instance the Kidsaw Urban Midsleeper 1 is classic white and birch bed that can be converted into a loft-style bunk or a standard single bed with an incline. The Julian Bown Skye Midsleeper is a dream of design that looks like the castle, is customized with curtains, twinkling lights or removable stickers.
Under-bed Storage
Mid-sleeper cabin beds are very popular as they offer a lot of storage options. They are typically one metre off the floor, unlike high sleeper or bunk beds that are very high. This allows plenty of space under the bed for furniture and other useful features. The most obvious under bed storage solution is the drawers. They can be put at either end of the bed or along the length. Some even have space for bedside table. For a neat, seamless finish, look for drawers designed to be a seamless fit into the divan base.
Woven baskets and drawers constructed from natural materials are an additional under-bed storage solution worth taking into consideration. Woven fibers circulate air and eliminate dampness and musty odours. The storage items are fresh and safe. For items that are stored for longer durations and require a vacuum-packed storage bag is an ideal option since it removes all the air and allow you to fit more space.
You could also opt for an attractive, purpose-built small single cabin bed with built-in drawers and cabinets. These beds will not only increase the space underneath your bed, but they also help keep everything organized and tidy. Drawer systems with smooth, no-wobble runners are a must especially if you want to keep them from getting jammed. If you decide to go with a wood model for your home, opt for a painted finish to match the decor of the room.
It's also worth searching for cabin beds that sleep mid-sleep with desks that can be pulled out if studying is your top priority. Not only will these give your children a comfy place to work from or have a chat with their friends, but they'll make the most of the space in your bedroom as well. Choose options that come with chairs to make the most of this feature.
Design
A single mid-sleeper is a fantastic choice for kids who love to climb and explore. They're often crafted from solid hardwoods and come with ladders that are designed to meet the most stringent safety standards. Look for designs that include guard rails on the sides of the bed or use bunk systems to avoid entrapment hazards. Some beds offer a protective mesh that covers the mattress to give you additional security.
Most children's beds are designed for children six and over and are adorned with vibrant colors that entice their growing imaginations. Alternatively, look for a design that features shelves and a pull-out desk to provide extra space to play or study.
Many of the designs we have in our collection are available with a selection of accessories such as tents, tunnels and pocket organisers that help to keep their bedrooms neat and organised. The Pino wooden mid-sleeper with curtains, for example is available in 3 frame colors and 9 bed curtains. They vary from neutrals to themed designs like princesses and unicorns.
Similar to that, a few of our loft or single cabin beds can be made into bunk beds or a day bed with the help of an optional conversion kit (sold separately). This allows your child to adapt the space according to their preferences. If you're thinking about a single cabin bed that can be converted make sure you choose a sturdy design that can support the weight of an adult up to 80kg.
Think about a neutral design to accommodate different preferences when introducing a small single in a shared bedroom. Paint the walls a fresh shade of grey or blue duck egg to create a backdrop for bedding or furniture that can be easily restyled in pink, purple or red.
Consider choosing a cabin bed that has an integrated wardrobe if you're introducing one to your child's bedroom. This will save floor space, and will make it easier for your child's clothes to be organised. Our Julian Bowen Stella and Cookie mid sleeper models come with side drawers that offer plenty of storage space for books, toys as well as other items.
