Mid Sleeper Bunk Bed
A mid-sleeper is a great choice for those who have lower ceilings or smaller bedrooms. They can provide younger children with an exciting and practical alternative to a standard single bed, while older children can utilize the space underneath to study and storage.
Both high and mid sleepers are suitable for children 6 years and over - however we recommend that your child is well-established in their sleeping habits before using this style of bed.
Size
Mid sleeper bunk beds are lower than high sleepers, which means they're a great choice for kids younger than a child and those with smaller bedrooms. They provide plenty of storage space underneath that can be used as an area for play or a desk. They also provide plenty of headroom to allow children to climb and descend easily. You can even add the trundle drawer, or a chair bed to some of our models, allowing you to transform your loft into a sleeping area when guests are visiting.
A key appeal of both the high and mid-sleeper beds is that they're multifunctional furniture solutions, giving your children a place to study, do homework and unwind at home. This will help them sleep well and encourage an active lifestyle.
You can pick from a range of options, such as pull out chairs and sofas to fit your child's room and personal preferences. Our models include a bookcase as well as shelving to help keep their books and belongings organized. Some models come with desks. This is an ideal option for those who wish to develop their own study habits, and independence, by working on their own in their personal workspace.
Selecting a mattress that is suitable is a vital consideration in order to ensure that it's the correct size for your child's. We suggest investing in a top quality foam mattress specifically designed for your child's bed. You can also use an existing mattress provided it's not thicker than 15cm. We have a wide selection of mattresses suitable for mid and high sleeper bunk beds.
Style

A few bunk beds can also be transformed into lower formats such as one bed through the use of clever extension kits. This is a very popular and ideal choice for older children who may need a little more space or a little separation from their younger siblings. Another option is a high-sleeper bed, which is elevated higher and the mattress can be reached via a ladder or a staircase. This design is popular with pre-teens and teens because it's more mature and can be easily integrated into loft spaces or an attic.

Safety
A mid sleeper or a cabin bed can be a fantastic space-saving option however, it is essential to ensure safety precautions. This means that you must ensure that the ladders are strong and safe to use, educating youngsters on how to climb up and down them properly, and ensuring the top bunk isn't to be used for play. You may also want to install a clip light on the ladder to make it more visible at night.
Some beds come with guardrails built into the frame. This can provide an additional layer of security for children. This is particularly useful in small bedrooms where bunk beds can be difficult to maneuver.
It's important to not place the bed too close to blinds (especially cords) or heaters, as well as ceiling fans. A bed that is too close to the wall could cause serious injuries and entrapment. A mid sleeper or cabin bed should be at least 3.5" away from the wall to minimise this danger.
Another important safety tip is to not hang anything from the railings that guard the top bunk. Belts, scarves and similar items can strangle a child if caught in them. This can happen quickly, especially when children are asleep.
Choose a mid-sleeper cabin bed with full-length rails on each side to create an extra protection for your children. Don't depend on the wall as a guard rail because a child could get stuck between the mattress and the wall, which could be fatal.
Lastly, be sure to follow the assembly instructions thoroughly and examine all connects and screws regularly to ensure that the bed is solid and won't wobble. If you're not sure, ask an expert for assistance. A well-built bunk bed should last for a long time, however, it's always best to be on the safe side and never to make a mistake in regards to safety.
