Mid Sleeper Small Single
Standard bed frames cannot provide the same storage options as mid sleepers or cabin beds. Desks with pull-outs can be easily tucked into furniture when not in use and shelves are also available to store their growing collection.
Consider also children's bunk beds with shelves that have handy hooks that are ideal for drinking a glass of water or reading.
Sleeping Area

This helps children sleep longer, longer and more comfortably - all contributing to their mental and physical well-being and health.
The small single bed is a fantastic option for children who are transitioning from cribs to beds. It provides a familiar bed that is comfortable and introduces elements of a bed for adults that promote independence. The elevated platform and enclosed area also encourage the relaxation and a tranquil routine at night.

Mid-sized beds for children may come with storage built-in, giving your child more room to spread out and relax. These beds typically have an adjustable desk, a chest of drawers for storage or an extensive shelving system to hold toys and books.

The majority of mid-sleepers for kids will come with a ladder or stairway that allows them to reach the platform that sleeps above. These are designed with wide treads and guardrails to make it easier for small children to climb. It is important to supervise your child while they use the ladder or stairs to ensure that they are adhering to safety guidelines and not trying to climb too quickly. You can also purchase single-mid sleepers that do not require a ladder or steps at all. This will give a more sleek smaller, more compact appearance.
Mattress
There's a lot to like about a mid-sleeper small single. Their striking designs and exciting features capture children's imagination and help them sleep more easily. Most of these beds have built-in storage underneath the mattress, which is an excellent option for those who struggle to find room for a wardrobe or drawers. Whether it's open cupboards ready to be filled with bags or neat and tidy drawers with smooth, non-wobble operation, the extra space under the mattress could be perfect for storage that is movable and low-level that can grow with your child.
The type of mattress you select depends largely on your sleeper's preferred sleeping position that is softer, more suitable for people who sleep on their sides and in front than a more firm one. There are mattresses that have added advantages like anti-dustmite treatments and cooling qualities to promote healthy sleep.

Under-bed Storage
A big draw of mid sleeper cabin beds is that they offer many clever storage options. They are typically just a few centimeters off the ground, unlike high sleeper or bunk beds that are extremely high. This gives plenty of space underneath for furniture and other useful features. Drawers are the most obvious solution for under bed storage. They can be positioned on either the end of the bed or along the length. Some even have space for a bedside table. Find drawers that are able to fit into a divan base, to give a neat and seamless look.
Another option for storage under the bed is woven baskets and drawers. These are made of natural materials. Woven fibres allow air to circulate and eliminate dampness or musty odours from keeping stored items fresh and secure. For items that are stowed away for longer periods, a vacuum packed storage bag is the best option since it removes all air, allowing you to fit more space.

They are typically constructed from solid hardwoods, and they come with ladders that comply with strict safety standards.

Certain beds include a safety mesh over the upper mattress to give you additional peace of mind.
