Height
A mid sleeper is a children bed that is lower than the high sleeper. They come with a raised sleeping area with space underneath which can be used as storage, a desk or even a play area. The beds are a great option for smaller rooms, offering the same amount of space for sleeping as a bunk bed while taking less floor space. They're also ideal for children who want to share a room with a sibling or a friend, since the bed can easily accommodate two mattresses.
The height of a mid sleeper can differ depending on the style. However they're usually between 110cm and 140cm high. This is the same height of the standard bed frame. Most of our mid-sleepers require a single mattress but some designs may be suitable for a small double or even a triple mattress therefore make sure you check the product specifications before buying.
Safety is always a top priority when it comes to the size of the cabin bed. Our selection of kids' mid-sleepers are designed with that in mind. The staircases in our models have been constructed with safety in mind. They have wide steps, which are easier to navigate and lower the risk of accidents. The rails that protect your child's bed are also higher than the standard bunk bed. This will stop the child from slipping out of bed during the night.
We advise that children use their mid-sleeper for sleeping and not for hanging off the ladder, as this could increase the risk of falls and injury. We also recommend against using a middle-sleeper for children who are younger than six years old, as they may have difficulty climbing the stairs safely.
Space
Mid sleepers (sometimes called cabin beds) are high enough off the ground to permit furniture underneath, which transforms rooms into multi-purpose study, play and sleep zones. These beds are great for children's rooms that lack enough space to accommodate other furniture. They're made to be strong and durable.
The mid-sleeper bed is often equipped with a ladder or stairs that allow children to climb up to the sleeping area. This is much easier than having to climb or leap into a traditional bunk bed or high sleeper. This can make them easier for children of all ages to use and encourages independence when it comes to getting ready for bed. It is essential to make sure that the ladders or stairs are fitted with guardrails that comply with safety standards and that they are used in in a manner that does not cause injury.
One of the greatest advantages of a mid-sleeper is that it's usually equipped with ample storage space. Apart from the obvious area under the sleeping platform, a lot of models feature a stair-like drawer or cubby holes which can be used to store books, toys and other trinkets. Many parents are enthralled by these features because they can aid in the de-cluttering of their child's bedroom and help create a more organized sanctuary that still leaves plenty of room for kids to be kids.
Another feature that is popular with mid-sleeper beds is that they can be used as an office or desk. This is a great way to help kids with their work and homework. It's also an excellent opportunity to promote good study habits and the importance of having a dedicated workspace. Most models will include an adjustable desk that can be neatly hidden away when not being used, and this is especially useful in smaller bedrooms where space is a major factor.
If your child has a creative flair then they'll love the idea of beds that double as a cozy castle or den. Skye Playhouse Mid-sleeper is a excellent example of this. It's been designed to look like a home, complete with windows and a roof. Kids can then decorate the exterior using curtains or even twinkly lights to add an extra flavor of fun.
