Mid Sleeper Beds

A mid-sleeper bed is a type of kids' bed with a higher frame than a cabin bed and often has space underneath that offers plenty of versatility. Some mid-sleepers use this space for storage or maybe even have a useful desk or play area! The space underneath incorporates built-in storage, such as drawers, cupboards, and shelves.

On average, a mid-sleeper bed will be between 115cm and 130cm high, though always be sure to read the individual dimensions for each product before purchasing. If a mid-sleeper bed is an awkward height for you, consider a low-sleeper bed or high-sleeper bed instead. As the names suggest, these beds are available in different heights to suit your requirements.

We recommend that only children over 6 use a mid-sleeper bed. This ensures they are old enough to climb into the bed safely and still take advantage of all the extra safety features that mid-sleeper beds offer.

The significant advantage of kids mid sleeper beds is the space they provide. There is plenty of room underneath the bed for stylish drawers and storage, meaning your child can have a space-efficient bed that doesn't look too bulky or cumbersome. Mid-sleepers also have room for small pull-out desks and space to play, build forts, etc.

Because the storage is built-in, you can free up floor space elsewhere as you may not need as much standalone furniture, so your child has more space to play. The raised height of a mid sleeper helps make bedtime more exciting while keeping your child safe and comfortable.

Yes, our mid-sleeper beds are designed to the highest British Safety Standards to ensure your child's safety when using them. They include plenty of useful features, such as tall railings along the edge of the bed to reduce the risk of falling out, easy-to-use ladders, and sturdy construction. It's important to follow the assembly instructions closely to ensure the bed is structurally sound for added safety!

We recommend that a mid-sleeper bed have a kids' mattress no higher than 16cm tall. This allows the safety railings to operate as designed, reducing the risk of accidents! Our range of bunk bed mattresses is perfect for mid-sleepers, as they have been carefully curated to ensure safety railings can still be used.
