Why Choose a Mid Cabin Bed?
No matter if your child is old or young, a mid cabin bed can provide exciting and flexible furniture for their bedroom.
These are also great for those with limited floor space. They are often equipped with clever storage solutions and some even include tables that can be pulled out to study or fun play tents.
Stores
Space is a scarce commodity in the bedrooms of children. Beds that save space, like mid-sleeper or cabin beds are becoming increasingly popular because they optimise space layouts and offer flexible storage solutions. They maximize floor space by including built-in furniture such as shelves and drawers under the bed. Some come with fun playtents or curtains for added excitement.
With a little help from your child, you could turn the space under their bed into a study space, a craft station or even a cozy den. There are many possibilities for storage in the form of drawers and wardrobes or shelves, a pull-out desk, and even a sofa that folds.
Cabin and mid-sleeper beds allow parents to be creative in the way they use the rooms of their children as they can adapt as they grow. As your child grows older and more independent, you can modify the shelves and make the area underneath the bed a study or play area. Also, you can put in the cozy Olivia mid-sleeper bed that has stairs on the other side of their bedroom and transform it into a reading space or a place for crafts.
Making use of the space underneath the cabin of your children or on the middle sleeper bed to store their belongings is not just practical and convenient, but it can also add a lot of value to their interior design style. Pick a neutral or white colour scheme to complement your furniture, or go for something bright and vibrant for a statement.
When choosing a kids mid or high sleeper, it's important to assess your child's age as well as whether they are safe to use the top bunk. Some manufacturers recommend a minimum age of 6 years old to use this, but it's always worth checking the product details for specific safety guidelines. If you're not sure that you're in the right age group, a junior cabin bed or childrens bunk bed with stairs might be a better alternative for younger children. Take a look at our guide to choosing the right bed for your child if you're thinking of a high or mid sleeper.
Desks
Cabin beds are great because they have plenty of storage space. This allows them to maximise space within a room whilst reducing clutter and providing a neat and tidy environment for children to play in. Midsleepers usually come with shelves, drawers and wardrobes under, which are perfect to store blankets, clothing and toys, in addition to other important things like books, games consoles, and school equipment.
Some have pull-out desks that can be used for homework or studying, keeping your child organized as they progress through school. There are other fun accessories available such as play tents or curtains which make the bed a the perfect space for your child to enjoy.
Sofa Seats
The sofa seats that are available on cabin beds can be a real selling point. They look really comfortable and make it easy to transform the seating space into a comfy bed. You just need to open the front and remove any cushions from the seat to reveal a spacious double bed that is tucked away inside the frame, it's ideal for guests! We suggest that if you are thinking of purchasing a sofa-sleeper, ensure that it is constructed to the highest quality before you purchase. You must make sure that the furniture you purchase is in compliance with BS EN 747-1, which is the standard for quality of high sleeper and bunk beds.
The seats on the cabin bed are typically large enough to accommodate two people, making sure your guests are supported while sleeping. If you are using a sofa as a bed, it is recommended to invest in a mattress protector to protect your mattress and to help keep it fresh.
It can be difficult to keep a child's room neat and tidy with all the toys and clutter. This is where the advantage of a high or mid sleeper comes in, since many have integrated storage solutions such as shelves, drawers, and cupboards. This will give your child a space to keep their belongings and will keep their space tidy. It can also be used as a study or chill out zone.
Some of our models even include a pull out desk to create a cozy study space which allows your child to concentrate on their schoolwork and homework in peace without being disturbed by pets or family members who may be sleeping elsewhere in the room. The Trasman Girona mid sleeper is a great example of this, with large desk that can be removed from the side, and an extra sofa seat that can be placed on the right or left side of the frame.
Our Aire cabin bed in light grey comes with a slim ladder and sofa seat which can be placed on either the left or right of the frame. This gives you plenty of space underneath for storage. The bed is a little higher than our mid sleepers but lower than a high sleeper, which allows it to be used by children of all ages.
Ladders
A mid-cabin bed is a great alternative to a high-sleeper. They are elevated slightly off the ground and include smaller ladders to get up to your kids bed. This makes them more suitable to children of a younger age who may not be confident or strong enough to climb the higher ladders that are found in a higher sleeper. They also have a variety of different storage solutions built-in and pull-out desks based on your child's needs.
childrens cabin beds can choose between straight and angle ladders that sit flush against the mattress or stick out slanted for an easy-to-climb design. You can add an extension slide to the classic mid-high sleeper or mid-high to create a fun room under the bed.
Another advantage of these bed frames is that they can be converted to become a low loft, one that is full size or regular full beds as your kids + family grows. They're also built to last and are designed to be sturdy, stable and safe. Why not choose a Maxtrix middle-loft bed for your child?
