Mid Sleeper Bunk Bed
A mid-sleeper is a great option for those with smaller or lower ceilings. They can provide younger children with an enjoyable and practical alternative to a standard single bed, and older children can use the space underneath for study and storage.
High and mid sleepers can be used by children over the age of six. However, we suggest that they have established their sleeping habits before they start.
Size
They are smaller than high sleeper bunks which makes them a great option for smaller bedrooms and children who are younger. They offer ample storage space below which can be used as an area for play or a desk. They also provide plenty of headroom for children to climb and descend easily. You can even add a trundle drawer or chair bed to many of our models, which allows you to transform your loft into a sleeping space for guests to visit.
High and mid-sleeper beds are multifunctional furniture that gives your children a place at home to study, work on their homework, and relax. This will allow them to rest comfortably and promote a healthy lifestyle.
You can pick from a variety of options, including pull-out chairs and sofas to fit the space and the preferences of your child. Most of our models also come with a bookcase or shelves, making it easier for them to keep their books and other belongings organised. Some models have desks. This is an ideal option for those who want to develop their own habits of study and independence, by working on their own in their personal workspace.
Selecting a mattress that is suitable is a crucial decision, as you'll need to ensure that it's the correct height for your child. We recommend investing in a quality foam mattress specifically made for the bed of your child. Alternatively, you can make use of an existing mattress in the event that it's more than 15cm in thickness. We have a selection of mattresses that are suitable for mid and high bunk beds that sleep and it's easy to find the right one for your child.
Style
The mid sleeper bunk sits at a medium height. It is equipped with an area to sleep that can be reached via a staircase or ladder. It's a fantastic option for children over 6 years old, as it elevates storage and sleep to new heights, allowing the top bunk to be used as a play area or study.
The space underneath is ideal to accommodate a variety of features such as bookshelves, a desk or sofa, making it the ideal choice for children who want to create a cosy den or a playroom. It's a great choice for bedrooms with small spaces, since it makes the most of the floor space without losing the height of the ceiling.
A few bunk beds can also be converted to smaller formats, like a single bed by the use of clever extension kits. This is particularly popular and an excellent choice for older children who may require a bit more space or privacy from their younger siblings. Another option is a high-sleeper bed that is elevated and the mattress is accessed by a ladder or a stairwell. This design is popular with teens and preteens because it is more mature and can be integrated into loft spaces or an attic.
Mid and high sleeper beds are a great option for kids who like to imagine and play games such as fort or castle because they have plenty of space underneath where they can create an enticing hideaway, a hidden den or even their own private gaming zone complete with curtains or fairy lights.

There's a certain sense of adventure that comes with being able to climb up and down a ladder or a set of stairs into a comfortable and relaxing space that kids love, and this is definitely the best bed for children!
Safety
A mid sleeper or a cabin bed is a great solution for reducing space however it's important to take precautions for safety. This means that you must ensure that the ladders are strong and safe to use, and teaching children how to climb and descend them properly, and ensuring the top bunk is not to be used for play. Install a clip-on light on the ladder to ensure that it is visible at night.
Some beds come with guardrails built into the frame. This can provide an additional layer of security for children. This is especially useful in small bedrooms, where bunk beds can be tricky to navigate without the risk of falling over furniture or other objects within the room.
It is also important to not place the bed too close to blinds (especially cords) windows, heaters, or ceiling fans. The bed being too close to the wall could cause serious injury and even entrapment. A mid sleeper or cabin bed should be at minimum 3.5" from the wall to minimise the risk.
Do not hang anything from the guardrails on the top bunk. Belts, scarves and similar items can cause strangulation if a child is they are caught. This can happen quickly, especially when children are sleeping.
Choose a mid-sleeper cabin bed with full-length rails on each side to provide an additional protection for your children. Don't solely rely on the wall as a safety barrier. Children could be trapped between the mattress and the wall and be killed.
Last but not least, make sure you follow the directions for assembly and regularly check all connectors and screws to ensure that the bed is solid and will not wobble. If you are unsure, ask an expert for help. A well-constructed bunk bed will last for a long time, however, it's always best to be on the safe side and never to cut corners in regards to safety.
