Mid Sleeper Bunk Bed
A mid-sleeper is a excellent option for people with smaller ceilings and lower bedrooms. They can be an excellent alternative for smaller children who aren't ready for an individual bed. Children older than them can use the space below as a storage or study area.
Mid and high sleepers are suitable for children of 6 years and older - however we recommend that your child is established in their sleeping habits prior to using this type of bed.
Size
Mid sleeper bunk beds are lower to the ground than high sleepers, and so they're a great option for children who are younger and with smaller bedrooms. They have ample storage space below which can be used as a desk or play space. They offer enough headroom for children to climb up and down easily. You can also add a trundle drawer or chair bed to a number of our models, allowing you to transform your child's loft into an extra sleeping space when friends come over.
A key appeal of both high and mid sleeper beds is their multi-functional furniture solutions, providing your children a place to work, study and relax at home. This lets them enjoy an adequate night's rest and promotes a healthy lifestyle by giving them everything they need all in one location.

We offer a range of mattresses for both mid and high sleeper bunk beds.

Safety
Mid sleepers or cabin beds are an excellent space-saving option, but security precautions are crucial. It's crucial to ensure that the ladders you are using are safe and sturdy, instruct children on how to climb them safely and emphasize the fact that the top bunk shouldn't be used as a play area. You might also want to install a clip light on the ladder to make it more visible at night.
Some beds have a guardrail built into the frame. This is an additional layer of security for children. This is particularly beneficial for small bedrooms, where a bunk bed is difficult to maneuver without putting yourself at risk of falling over furniture or other objects in the room.
It is also important to not put the bed too close to blinds (especially cords), windows, heaters or ceiling fans. If the bed is too close, it can cause entrapment and severe injuries. To minimise this danger, a mid-sleeper or a cabin bed must be at minimum 3.5 inches away from the wall.
Do not hang anything from the railings on the top bunk. Scarves, belts and similar items can cause strangulation if a child is they are caught. This can happen quickly particularly when children are asleep.
Choose a mid-sleeper cabin bed with rails that are full length on each side to create an additional barrier for your kids. Also, don't rely on the wall as a security rail as a child may get stuck between the mattress and the wall, which could be dangerous.
The last thing to do is ensure that you follow the directions for assembly and periodically check all screws and connectors to ensure that the bed is solid and will not move. Get help from an expert if you're unsure. A well-built bunk bed should last a long time, however, it's always best to be on the safe side and never to make a mistake in regards to safety.
