Initially ordered a king size mattress for an existing bed frame inherited from a house sale! upon close inspection the frame wasn't very stable and couldn't be tightened up! so back onto the website which has an excellent choice of beds and mattresses all at competitive prices.It's early days but we are very pleased with our new mattress and bed.Items delivered two days after ordering. All well packaged and delivered on time.Great communication from the courier who phoned and texted me when he was about 30 mins away.

What is a mid sleeper bed?

A mid sleeper bed, also known as a cabin bed, a loft bed or less commonly a mid-rise bed is a raised bed frame that sits strategically between the height of a standard bed and a bunk bed. This clever design not only optimises floor space in smaller bedrooms but also unlocks a world of possibilities beneath the bed. Transform this newfound space into a personalised play area, a storage haven, a cosy reading space, or a dedicated study zone – the options are limitless and helps you to utilise your 

What is the best mattress for a mid sleeper bed?

When selecting a mattress for your mid sleeper bed, prioritise size, thickness, and firmness for optimal comfort and support. A standard single mattress, measuring 90x190cm, fits most mid sleeper beds perfectly. For younger children, a thinner mattress might be more comfortable and easier to climb onto. As children grow older, a thicker mattress can provide better support and spinal alignment. Our guide to buying your child a kid’s mattress can give you more helpful advice on choosing your child’s mattress.

How high is a mid sleeper bed?

The average frame height of a mid sleeper bed is between 115cm - 130cm. They’re not as tall as bunk beds, and are perfect for rooms with low ceilings.

Ensure that the child can safely climb up and down the ladder or steps leading to the bed, and consider their individual preferences and comfort level before introducing them to a mid sleeper bed. 

What age is a mid sleeper bed for?

Mid sleeper beds are typically recommended for children aged six and above. At this age, children have developed the coordination and balance necessary to safely navigate the bed's height and climb up and down the ladder or steps. However, it's always crucial to assess each child's individual abilities and maturity level before making the switch to a mid sleeper bed.

Why mid sleeper beds are the best beds for kids

Mid sleeper beds bring a variety of benefits to children's bedrooms, transforming them into spaces that foster their growth, creativity, and independence:

  • Cabin bed with storage: Mid sleepers maximise space, making them ideal for smaller bedrooms where every square foot counts.

  • Playful: The space underneath the bed becomes a blank canvas for imagination, whether it's a secret hideaway, a puppet theatre, or a cosy reading nook. Plus, the small ladder or steps up to their bed adds an exciting element to bedtime.

  • Enhanced Safety: Mid sleepers are designed with safety in mind, typically featuring sturdy guardrails and secure ladders or steps.

  • Creativity: A mid sleeper with desk give a space for children to complete their homework, play board games or get creative with colouring or drawing. 

  • Independence: The height provides children with a sense of autonomy and privacy, helping to foster their personal growth

Do mid sleeper beds have a weight limit?

The recommended weight limits for a child's mid-sleeper bed vary depending on the specific model and manufacturer. However, most mid sleepers can safely accommodate children up to 90kg. It's essential to check the weight limit of the bed before purchasing to ensure it can support your child's weight.

What are the different types of mid sleeper beds?

Mid sleeper beds come in a variety of styles and designs to suit different needs and preferences. Some popular options include mid sleeper beds with storage - these beds incorporate drawers, shelves, or cubbies underneath the bed, providing ample storage for toys, clothes, or books. Other types include a desk that gives space for activities like reading, drawing and homework. Other types can even include fun elements like slides, to help children get out of bed with a fun twist!

How can I decorate a mid sleeper bed?

You can personalise your child's mid sleeper bed with fun and creative décor including:

  • Drape curtains or fabric around the bed to create a cosy nook or hideaway.

  • Hang fairy lights or string lights for a magical ambiance.

  • Add colourful pillows, throws, and blankets for a touch of comfort and personality.

  • Cover the underside of the bed with a rug or playmat to create a designated play area or reading nook.
