Mid Sleeper Bed 101: This Is The Ultimate Guide For Beginners

Mid Sleeper Bunk Bed

A mid-sleeper is a excellent option for people with lower ceilings and smaller bedrooms. They offer younger children an exciting and practical alternative to a standard single bed, whilst older children can use the space underneath for study and storage.

Mid and high sleepers are suitable for children 6 years and older - however we recommend that your child be established in their sleeping habits prior to using this style of bed.

Size

Mid sleeper bunk beds are lower than high sleepers, and so they're an excellent choice for younger children and those with smaller bedrooms. They have plenty of storage space underneath that can be used for an area for play or a desk. They have enough headroom to allow children to climb and fall easily. Many of our models are equipped with a trundle bed or chair bed, allowing you to convert your child's loft into an additional sleeping space when friends visit.

One of the main benefits of mid and high sleeper beds is their multi-functional furniture solutions that give your children a space to work, study and unwind at home. This will help them sleep well and lead a healthy lifestyle.

Choosing a suitable mattress is a crucial decision because you'll need to make sure it's the ideal height for your child.

Style

As its name suggests, the mid sleeper bunk bed is located at a mid-height, with the sleeping space accessed via a ladder or a staircase. It's a great solution for children over 6 years old, since it permits the top bunk to serve as an area for study or play.

You can pick from the high or mid-sleeper bunk bed, or even a cabin-style bed. Your child will enjoy a comfortable and spacious environment to sleep in. Children love climbing up and down ladders or stairs to reach a warm and relaxing space. This is the ideal bed for kids!

Safety

A mid sleeper or cabin bed can be a wonderful space-saving option, but it's essential to ensure safety precautions. This means making sure the ladders are safe and sturdy to use, as well as teaching youngsters how to climb them up and down properly, and ensuring that the top bunk isn't for playing. You might also want to put a light clip on the ladder to make it more visible at night.

Some beds have a safety rail integrated into the frame, which could provide an extra layer of safety for children. This is especially useful in smaller bedrooms where bunk beds are difficult to navigate.

It's important to not place the bed too near blinds (especially cords) or heaters, as well as 2ft 6 mid sleeper cabin bed ceiling fans. The bed being too close to the wall can cause serious injury and even entrapment. A mid sleeper or a cabin bed should be at least 3.5" from the wall to minimise the risk.

Do not hang anything over the railings that are on top of the bunk. If a child is caught in scarves, belts or similar items, they could strangle them. This can happen very quickly, especially when children are sleeping.

Look for a mid-sleeper or cabin bed with rails that are full length on both sides to provide an additional barrier for your children. Also, don't rely on the wall as a security rail - a child could be trapped between the mattress and the wall, which could prove dangerous.

Also, be sure to follow the assembly directions carefully and inspect every connect and screw regularly to ensure that the bed is solid and will not move. Get help from an expert in case you're not sure. If you want to make sure that your bunk bed will last for a long time it is recommended to always be on the safe side.
