Mid Sleeper Small Single
Children's mid-sleepers and cabin beds offer versatile storage facilities that bed frames of the standard cannot. Desks with pull-outs can be neatly tucked away into furniture when not in usage and shelves are also available to store their ever-growing collection.
Also, think about cabin beds for children with hooks that can be easily hung on shelves that are perfect to read or pour a glass of water.
Sleeping Area
The platform that sleeps on for the mid-sleeper is elevated from the ground, and usually has sides to create an environment that is secure and safe that promotes good sleep posture and spinal alignment. This assists children to sleep longer, more comfortably and more peacefully, all contributing to their mental and physical health and wellbeing.
A mid sleeper small single is also a great choice for children who are transitioning from crib to bed as it provides a safe and comforting sleeping area while introducing elements of an grown-up bed that encourages independence. The elevated platform and enclosed area can also help to promote the relaxation and a tranquil evening routine.
Mid sleeper cabins are designed as multi-purpose spaces for your child to play, study and take a nap.

Mid-sized beds for children may include storage built-in which gives your child more space to relax and spread out. These beds usually include a chest of drawers, large shelving or a pullout desk which can be used to store all sorts of things, including books and toys. Some models, like the Julian Bowen Skye Playhouse Mid Sleeper, are made to resemble houses or castles of knights that kids can decorate with windows and curtains to add fun.
Most mid sleepers for children feature ladders or stairs that aid in climbing to the platform they sleep on. cabin beds mid sleepers are designed with wide treads and guardrails that make it easier for small children to climb. It is always an excellent idea to watch your child while they use the ladder or stairs to ensure that they follow safety guidelines and aren't trying to get up too high too fast! There are also single mid-sleepers which don't need a ladder or any stairs at all, for a sleeker and more compact appearance.
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 drift off to dreamland more easily. These beds are also an excellent option if you're struggling to fit in drawers or wardrobe spaces, as they are usually equipped with built-in under bed storage solutions. The extra space under the mattress can be used to store small items that will grow with your child. It could be open cabinets that can be used for bags, or drawers that are neat and tidy, with smooth, non-slip operation.
The type of mattress that you choose will depend on the position of your sleeper. A mattress that is soft is better for front sleepers or side sleepers, while a firmer mattress is better for back and stomach sleepers. There are mattresses that offer additional benefits such as anti-dustmite treatments as well as cooling properties to ensure a healthy and restful sleep. Some of these beds can accommodate pull-out desks that can be used as study areas.

Under-bed Storage
A big draw of mid-sleeper cabin beds is that they provide plenty of clever storage options. Unlike high sleeper and bunk beds, which are elevated to a high level they are typically just a few centimetres from the floor, leaving plenty of space underneath to add furniture and other useful features. Drawers are the most obvious solution for under bed storage. They can extend the full length of the bed, and be positioned at either end or be used as tables for bedside. For a sleek, seamless finish, look for drawers made to fit seamlessly into the divan base.
Another option for under-bed storage is woven drawers and baskets. These are made of natural materials. Woven fibres let air circulate and eliminate dampness or musty odours from keeping the items stored fresh and safe. For items that are stored for longer durations, a vacuum packed storage bag is an ideal option since it removes all the air, allowing you to fit more into your space.
