Mid Sleeper Beds For Kids
A mid-sleeper bed is the ideal option for your child who is too large to fit into bunk beds or wish to maximize the space in their bedroom. Built with desks and storage, these versatile children's beds are a parents dream.
All people of all ages can benefit from mattresses that are lower than the frame, so that children can't get out of the bed during sleeping.
Height
A mid-sleeper bed is a mattress for children that is a little lower than the high-sleeper. The beds have a raised sleeping surface with space below that could be used as storage, a desk or a play area. They are a great choice for smaller rooms, offering the same amount of space for sleeping as a bunk bed but taking less floor space. The beds are also perfect for children who want to share their bedroom with a companion or sibling, as they can accommodate two mattresses.
The size of a mid sleeper can vary depending on the design, but generally they're between 110cm and 140 cm high and are about the same as a standard bed frame. Most of our mid sleepers require a single mattress but some designs may be suitable for a small double or even a triple mattress so make sure to read the product specifications before buying.

We also advise against using a mid-sleeper for children who are not yet of six years, as they might struggle to climb up and down the stairs safely.

It is important to ensure that the ladders or stairs are equipped with guard rails that meet safety standards, and that they are used in in a manner that does not create any risk of injury.
A mid-sleeper is usually equipped with plenty of storage space. Many models have a cubby hole or stair-like drawers under the mattress which can be used to store toys, books, and trinkets. Many parents love these features as they help declutter their child's bedroom and create a more organised space that gives plenty of room for children to play.
