Mid Sleeper Bunk Bed
A mid-sleeper is a great option for those with lower ceilings or smaller bedrooms. They are a great alternative for younger children who aren't ready for a single bed. Children older than them can use the space below for study or storage area.
High and mid sleepers are suitable for children over the age of six. We recommend that they have established their sleeping habits prior to that.
Size
They are less expensive than high sleeper bunks, making them a good alternative for bedrooms with smaller spaces and kids who are young. They have plenty of storage space underneath that can be used as a desk or play space. They also offer plenty of headroom for children to climb up and down with ease. You can also add the trundle drawer, or a chair bed to some of our models, which allows you to turn your child's loft into an extra sleeping space when friends are visiting.
A key appeal of both mid and high sleeper beds is that they're multifunctional furniture solutions that give your children a place to study, do homework and unwind at home. This will help them rest comfortably and promote an active lifestyle.
You can pick from a range of options, such as sofas and chairs that can be pulled out to fit the space and tastes of your child. Our models come with a bookcase or shelving to help them keep their books and belongings well-organized. Some models have desks. This is a great option for those who want to establish their own study habits and work alone in their dedicated workspace.
The selection of a mattress is a crucial decision because you'll need to ensure it's the right height for your child's. We recommend that you invest in a premium foam mattress designed specifically for your child's bedroom. You can also use an existing mattress as long as it is not thicker than 15cm. We have a wide selection of mattresses suitable for mid and high sleeper bunk beds.
Style
The mid sleeper bunk is a bed that is positioned at a medium height. It has a sleeping area accessible via a ladder or staircase. It's an excellent solution for children over 6 years old, since it can be used as a top bunk to function as an area for studying or playing.
The space below is perfect to accommodate a variety of features such as the bookcase, desk or sofa, so it's the perfect choice for kids who are looking to build an inviting den or playroom. It's also a great option for small bedrooms as it maximises the floor space, without sacrificing the ceiling's height.
Some bunk beds for children's mid-sleeper beds can be converted into lower formats such as a single bed with the use of clever extension kits - this is especially popular and an ideal choice for older children who may want a bit more space or privacy from their younger siblings. Another option is a high-sleeper bed that is elevated and the mattress is reached via a ladder or a staircase. This design is popular among teens and preteens because it is more mature and can be integrated into a loft space or attic.
Both mid and high sleeper beds are a fabulous option for kids who like to imagine and play games such as 'castle' or 'fort' because they have plenty of space beneath which they can build an inviting hideaway, a secret den or even their own personal gaming space complete with curtains or fairy lights. Many beds for mid-sleepers have the trundle which can be pulled out to instantly transform the bed into an awesome sleepover bed. This is great for parties and friends visiting on weekends!

There's a certain sense of adventure that comes from climbing up and down a staircase or ladder to create a cozy and fun space that kids love, and this really is the ultimate bed for children!
Safety
Mid sleepers or cabin beds can be an excellent space-saving option, but security precautions are crucial. It is essential to ensure that the ladders you use are sturdy and safe, teach children how to climb them safely, and stress that the top bunk shouldn't be used to play. Install a light clip on the ladder so that it's more visible at night.
Some beds have a safety rail built into the frame, which could add an extra layer of safety for children. This is particularly beneficial for small bedrooms, where a bunk bed is difficult to maneuver without the risk of falling over furniture or other items within the room.
It is also important to not place the bed too close to blinds (especially cords) windows, blinds, heaters or ceiling fans. The bed being too close to the wall may result in serious injury and entrapment. A mid sleeper or a cabin bed should be at minimum 3.5" away from the wall to reduce this danger.
Another important safety tip is to avoid hanging anything from the railings of the guard on the top bunk. If a child is caught in belts, scarves or similar items, they can strangle them. This is a particular issue when kids are sleeping and can occur in the blink of an eye, therefore it's best to keep these items away from reach.
Look for a mid-sleeper or cabin bed with rails that are full length on each side to provide an additional barrier for your children. Don't rely solely on the wall for an obstacle to safety. Children can get trapped between the mattress and the wall, which can be fatal.
The last thing to do is ensure that you follow the directions for assembly and regularly check the screws and connectors to ensure that the bed is solid and will not move. If you are unsure then ask a professional to help. A solidly constructed bunk bed will last for a long time, but it's important to stay on the safe side and never to make a mistake in regards to safety.
