It's worth checking the individual product's details for specific safety guidelines since this will vary between manufacturers.
Space Saving
A mid sleeper cabin bed is perfect for smaller bedrooms as they are a lower in height than a high sleeper. The space beneath is usually used to create clever storage components like shelves, cabinets or drawers. This reduces the amount of space that is needed in a bedroom and allows for easier maintenance of the space.
A built-in desk underneath your child's mid sleeper bed is the ideal solution for them if they want to study at home or complete their homework. This will encourage them to establish good habits for studying and will also give them their own space to work in, away from their parents and TV! A lot of our mid sleeper beds include an open desk, and some like the Trasman Girona Mid Sleeper Cabin Bed, come fully fitted with a desk that is useful with shelves and compartments.
Similarly, if your child loves to play pretend, a mid sleeper bed will give them plenty of room to set up their own set up such as a fort or castle, with curtains and a chair, or even an ward in the hospital for their teddy bears! This type of imaginative and enjoyable play is a great way for children to unwind and improve their sleep.
They are a great opportunity for your kids to unwind, play and study with their classmates. They are also a great solution for saving space in your home. They also look amazing and can really add to the overall look of your bedroom.
However it is important to remember that both mid and high sleepers are elevated off of the ground and access is via the stairs or ladder, which means they're not suitable for children who are very young, especially if there is no protective guard rail in the first place. It's important to read the safety guidelines for the model you want to purchase before you purchase. You might also want to look at our single bunk beds, like the Maxxi Bed with Slide. It's lower and has excellent guardrails.
Play imaginatively
Kids play out scenarios they have experienced, seen or would like to see. It is an age-old practice that helps children learn to process information about their surroundings and let their emotions out and explore making decisions in a safe environment. This type of play is extremely beneficial to kids as it teaches them how to manage their own behavior and interact with other children in positive ways. For example, when playing together in a group, they learn how to take turns sharing and respecting the decisions of others.
Many of our mid-sleeper designs come with fun extra features like tower canvas designs on top or a bed tent underneath. These are perfect for kids who love to play imaginatively. For example, our Pluto Mid Sleeper Bed by Julian Bowen offers the ideal opportunity for children to build their own private space under the bed and is a great choice for younger kids. This model also has the option of incorporating curtains, which allows kids to create a cosy and private space in their bedroom.
The space under the bed is a fantastic place for children to keep their toys and books, as well as for creative activities. They can set up their desk and chair to complete homework, reading and drawing and can even use the space to create a relaxing space with a few bean bags.
Some mid-sleeper models have plenty of storage underneath the bed. They include built-in drawers, wardrobes, and shelving. This helps reduce clutter on the ground and gives kids more room to play. Some models feature study areas with a pull out desk. This provides kids with an area to work in peace, do their homework and revise for exams.
There are some styles of mid sleeper that also have fun added features like an incline and slide. This is a great option for older children who are ready to move from the crib of a toddler and want to become more independent. Be sure to read the safety guidelines and the recommended age ranges. Some children may be more prepared than others.
Study Space
A space for study is essential for kids of all ages. It helps them focus and concentrate especially when working on projects that require creativity or for homework. A desk bed can give them the ideal place to work, without taking up a lot of space in their bedroom. Some models of mid-sleeper beds have a built in desk that is integrated into the frame, while others, like our Trasman Girona cabin mid-sleeper bed, feature a desk that is freestanding for children which can be tucked away easily when not in use.
A desk that is integrated into a child's bed can help encourage independence and good habits of study. It's often easier to work by yourself than in a group, and having a cozy environment helps. A kids' bed with desks can do just that and a lot of them have lots of storage options to keep their books, schoolwork and stationery in one place.
Our mid-sleeper and cabin designs have plenty of storage and study solutions like drawers, cabinets and shelving. Some even include a desk that can be pulled out to allow your child the ideal place to work or play.
Desks for kids' beds are ideal for a range of different room sizes and styles too. They can make great additions to smaller bedrooms. They are also a great way to maximize space in larger rooms where you have less free floor space.
While it's tempting to hold off until after term-time to design a kids' study area, we suggest creating a space for personalization prior to their return to school so that they can settle into their new space with the confidence they need to learn and flourish. This will set them up for the year ahead and provide them with an optimistic outlook on their learning as well as giving them the chance to figure out the best layout of their bedroom furniture. The more organised your children are, the better prepared they will be for their studying time. A dedicated study area is a huge step in the right direction.
Storage
A mid-sleeper offers more space beneath than a bunk or a cabin bed, which is why it is ideal for storing things like books, toys and games. This is a great alternative for children who love to 'pretend,' as there's plenty of space to create a castle, den, or spaceship.
Some of our beds are made to resemble the fort or tent underneath the bed, which mid sleeper with desk and storage will delight your children.

They can be enthralled by zipping out and in with their friends or curling up with an e-book inside if they're exhausted.
Our collection of cabin beds including mid sleepers, lofts and cabin beds also have options with built-in storage beneath the sleeping space, which helps keep the clutter to a minimum, and frees up floor space for furniture in small bedrooms. Some of our mid-sleepers even have a pull out trundle bed, which is ideal for sleepovers, and is easy to store away when not in use.
When it comes to school most of our mid sleepers come with a pull-out desk option for kids, which is the ideal space to get working on their homework or do their arts and crafts. We have a variety of finishes, colors and styles available so you can find the perfect child's single mid sleeper to suit your child's space.
