Choosing the right bed for your little one's bedroom can be a daunting task. There are so many types of children's bed available, with each one offering its own unique qualities and advantages. From bunk beds, which are great for siblings, to space saving cabin beds, the choice is enormous, and knowing which one to go for is no easy task. But, if you're looking for something that offers functionality, versatility and, above all, a safe and comfortable space for your child to play and rest, then a kid's mid sleeper bed is the ideal solution.

What is a Mid Sleeper Bed?

A kid’s mid sleeper bed sits somewhere between a cabin bed and a high sleeper. They range in height between 121cm to 190cm, and are available in a wide range of configurations, designs, and layouts. At the Children's Bed Shop, you'll find kids mid sleeper beds with built-in desks, chairs, drawers, and shelves, as well as mid sleeper beds designed for playtime with slides and tents, which younger children will love.

Every child is different, but mid sleeper beds are generally suitable for children aged 6 and over. All of our mid sleeper beds come with sturdy ladders to make getting in and out of bed stress free, but you'll also find beds with larger steps, or handles, which are perfect for younger children.

5 reasons Why Mid Sleeper Beds Are A Great Choice In Any Bedroom

Mid-sleeper beds are a superb option for lots of reasons, but here are our top five.

1. Storage masters: One of the most attractive aspects of a kid's mid-sleeper bed is that they can provide lots of extra storage. On our site, you'll find mid sleepers with attached drawers, cupboards, and shelves to keep toys, books, and clothes neat and tidy. You'll also spot mid sleepers with pull out desks and chairs that provide a perfect space for drawing, crafting, or homework. Then, when you're finished, you can simply tuck the desk and chair away and leave the rest of the floor space free.

2. Space heroes: Because mid sleeper beds are elevated above the ground, they're an absolutely perfect choice to maximise space in smaller bedrooms. There are many options with space underneath the sleeping area, which means that this can then become a dedicated play space, but we also have lots of options with storage and extra furniture available. For example, the Kid's Avenue and Trasman mid sleeper offers a complete storage solution, with drawers, shelves, and a pull out desk].

3. Great for play: Mid sleeper beds are a fantastic play area for kids of all ages, thanks to the extra under bed space. The Stompa Uno mid sleeper comes complete with a play tent. This lets kids create their own magical worlds to play in and has the added benefit of keeping toys out of sight when they're not being used! Or have a look at the Vipack mid sleepers, which makes getting out of bed an absolute adventure thanks to the addition of a slide.

4. Long lasting: Kids mid sleeper beds are a superb investment as they can be used for a long time, from age 6 until your little one becomes a not so little teenager! The space underneath the bed can be altered as needed, providing more flexibility to your little one's bedroom without having to change the furniture. For example, once kids are able to read by themselves, you could add a bean bag or chair to the space to make a super cosy reading nook. Or you could use this space to add another sleeping area when they have their friends over to stay the night.

5. Perfect for any bedroom: Mid sleeper beds are one of our most popular options at Children's Bed Shop, thanks to their ability to fit into any space seamlessly. They come in a range of colours, from soothing white to striking grey, and a variety of designs to suit any bedroom.
