Mid and high sleepers are suitable for children 6 years and older However, we suggest that your child is well-established in their sleeping habits prior to using this kind of bed.
Size
They are smaller than high sleeper bunks which makes them a great option for bedrooms with smaller rooms and younger children. They have plenty of storage space underneath that can be used as a desk or a play area. They provide enough headroom for children to climb up and down easily. Many of our models are fitted with an trundle bed, or a chair bed, allowing you to convert your child's loft to an additional sleeping area when guests visit.
One of the main benefits of the high and mid-sleeper beds is that they're multi-functional furniture solutions that give your children a place to work, study and relax at home. This lets them enjoy a good night's sleep and encourages a healthy life by providing them with everything they need all in one place.

Many of our models feature a handy bookcase and/or shelving, making it easy for them to keep their books and other items organised. There are also some that have desks, which is a great option for those who wish to establish their own study habits and autonomy by working independently in their own space.
It is important to choose the best mattress for your child. This is why we recommend investing in a quality foam mattress that's specifically designed for your child's bed. You can also make use of an existing mattress insofar as it's not more than 15cm thick. We offer a range of mattresses for both mid and high sleeper bunk beds.
Style
The mid sleeper bunk is a bed that is situated at a moderate height. It has an area for sleeping that is accessible via a ladder or staircase. It's a great solution for children over 6 years old, since it allows the top bunk to be used as an area for studying or playing.
The space underneath is ideal for a range of fun features like a bookcase, desk or sofa, making it the ideal choice for children who want to create an inviting den or playroom. It's also a great choice for smaller bedrooms since it maximizes floor space without sacrificing the height of the room's ceiling.
A few bunk beds can also be converted into smaller sizes, such as a single bed with the help of clever extension kits. This is especially popular and an ideal option for older children who may require a bit more space or separation from their younger siblings. Another option is a high-sleeper bunk bed, which is elevated higher and the mattress is accessed by a ladder or a stairwell. This style is very popular with teens and preteens as it is more mature and can be integrated into loft spaces or an attic.
High and mid sleeper bunk beds are perfect for kids who love to play games and think about. They can design their own gaming zone or a secret space, or even a cosy hideaway with curtains and fairy lights.

There's something thrilling about the excitement that comes from being able to climb up and down a ladder or stairs to create a cozy and fun space that children love and this is definitely the best bed for kids!
Safety
A mid sleeper or a cabin bed can be a fantastic space-saving solution, but it's essential to take safety precautions. This means ensuring that the ladders are sturdy and safe to use, as well as teaching youngsters how to climb up and down them correctly, and stressing that the top bunk isn't for playing. You might also want to install a clip light on the ladder to make it more visible in the dark.
Some beds come with guardrails built into the frame. This can be an additional layer of safety for children. This is especially beneficial in small bedrooms where bunk beds are difficult to maneuver.
It's also important to not put the bed too close to blinds (especially cords) windows, blinds, heaters or ceiling fans. If the bed is too close, it can cause entrapment and severe injuries. To minimise this danger, a mid-sleeper bed must be at least 3.5 inches from the wall.
Another vital safety point is to avoid hanging anything from the railings of the guard on the top bunk. If a child is trapped in belts, scarves or similar items, they can strangle them. This can happen very quickly and especially during the time when children are asleep.
Look for a mid-sleeper or cabin bed with rails that are full length on each side to create an additional barrier for your kids. Don't solely rely on the wall for an additional safety barrier. A child could get trapped between the mattress and the wall, which can be fatal.
Lastly, be sure to follow the assembly instructions thoroughly and examine all connects and screws regularly to ensure that the bed is rock solid and doesn't move. Consult a professional in case you're not sure. A well-built bunk bed should last for a long time however, it's always best to be on the safe side and not to compromise when it comes to safety.
