Mid Sleeper Bunk Bed
A mid sleeper is a great option for those with lower ceilings and smaller bedrooms. They offer younger children an enjoyable and practical alternative to a traditional single bed, and older children can make use of the space underneath to study and storage.
Mid and high sleepers are suitable for children up to six. We recommend that they have established their sleeping habits first.
Size
Mid sleeper bunk beds are lower to the ground than high sleepers, which means they're a great choice for kids younger than a child and those with smaller bedrooms. They offer ample storage space below that can be used as an area for play or a desk. They also provide plenty of headroom to allow children to climb up and down with ease. You can also add a trundle drawer or chair bed to many of our models, which allows you to transform your loft into a sleeping area when guests come over.
The main benefit of mid and high sleeper beds is their multi-functional furniture solutions, providing your children a space to study, work and relax at home. This lets them enjoy a good night's sleep and encourages an active life by providing them with everything they require in one place.
You can choose from many options, such as sofas and pull-out chairs to match the space and the preferences of your child. Many of our models come with a bookcase or shelves, making it easier for them to keep their books and other items organized. Some models also have desks. This is an ideal option for those who want to create their own study habits and work on their own in their personal workspace.

Safety
A mid-sleeper or cabin bed is a great space-saving solution, but it's essential to take safety precautions. It's crucial to ensure that the ladders you use are sturdy and safe, instruct children on how to climb them safely and stress that the top bunk should not be used as a play area. You may also want to put a light clip on the ladder to make it more visible at night.
Some beds come with guardrails built into the frame. This can be an additional layer of security for children. This is especially beneficial for small bedrooms, where bunk beds is difficult to maneuver without the risk of falling over furniture or other items within the room.
It is important to not place the bed too near blinds (especially cords) heaters, blinds, or ceiling fans. If the bed is placed too close, it could lead to entrapment and serious injuries. A mid sleeper or cabin bed should be at least 3.5" away from the wall to reduce this danger.
Do not hang anything from the railings on the top bunk. If a child is trapped in belts, scarves or similar items, they may strangle them. This is particularly a problem when kids are sleeping and can occur in the blink of an eye, therefore it is best to keep these items out of reach.
Choose a mid-sleeper cabin bed with full-length rails on both sides to provide an additional barrier for your kids. Don't just rely on the wall as an obstacle to safety. Children could be trapped between the mattress and wall and die.
The last thing to do is make sure you follow the directions for assembly and periodically check all connectors and screws to ensure the bed is stable and will not move. Consult a professional if you're unsure. If you want to make sure that your bunk bed lasts for a long time, it is best to be on the safest side.
