A mid sleeper is a bed that sits at a higher elevation than high sleepers or bunks but lower than a loft bed. This is ideal for children who prefer to have a little bit of head space, but still prefer the practical features of a high-sleeper such as shelves and desks.
They are available in a huge range of styles so you can be certain that whatever your child's hobbies are, there will be the right design for them. Some are basic beds that have different colours or patterns on the frame whilst others have amusing features like desks, tents, and storage for books. There's even a design that allows the ladder to be positioned to either side of the bed, so you can easily navigate your way up.
Some high- and mid-sleeper beds have additional furniture, like the pull-out bed for a chair or desks for guests to rest on. This makes the space under the bed a focal point of their bedroom and it can also encourage children to keep it tidy and clean.
If your child is a lover of fantasy, they'll love the idea of having a den under their bed to relax and play in.

Safety
A mid sleeper is a great alternative to a conventional single bed as it has the space-saving advantages of a desk integrated into the design. This helps to free up floor space which can be used for useful purposes like a wardrobe, additional storage, or even a play zone. The desk will be incorporated into the frame of the bed, which means that it's sturdy and safe for your child to use. These beds are often equipped with ladders or steps for easy access. They also come in various styles, so your child can choose their favorite. There are beds that have a desk with a pirate theme or castle-themed ones!
Mid sleepers are an excellent choice for younger children as they can provide an ideal space to relax, study and play. However, most guidelines from manufacturers require that your child be 6 years or older before being able to sleep in a mid sleeper because of safety standards.
Mid and high sleeper beds are very similar in terms of safety. They each have a ladder that can be used to access, as well as safety panels which need to be installed. If you follow the instructions for assembly and use your high or mid sleeper in a safe manner there should not be any safety issues.
Like cabin beds, you should always make sure that carpet is placed underneath your raised bed to reduce the risk of serious injuries if your child falls from it. Also, make sure that your child isn't using the high or mid sleeper as a climbing platform and that it's used to be used for sleeping at night. As climbing up the ladder or playing with it could lead to serious injuries, you must ensure that your child is not sleeping on their bed during the night.
High and mid sleepers can be a great alternative to the standard single bed. They are great for smaller bedrooms and also work well in rooms with architectural flaws, such as low ceilings. Children enjoy them and they are great for sleeping. But, you should be aware that they must be at least 6 years old to sleep in one.
