Mid Sleeper Beds
Mid sleepers are a bit lower than high sleepers and have the shortest ladder or staircase. They are therefore ideal for children who are younger. They have plenty of room under the bed for desks, storage and spare beds.
Many cabin beds come with a fantastic under-bed tent in a range of colors and themes. They are a favorite among children and can serve as a chill-out or den zone.
Size
Despite their name mid sleepers are less affluent than high-sleeper cabin beds and therefore are better suited to children of all ages. They also work well for bedrooms with smaller spaces, since they require less space than the standard single.
They offer many of the same great advantages of a high-sleeper but at a higher, more comfortable height. This means your child can stay safe and secure at night while having access to a play space underneath their mattress.
The best part is that mid-sleeper beds typically come with a wide range of fun designs to stimulate imagination and make the transition from their old bed a lot of fun.
