The beds have a raised sleeping surface, with a space below that could be used as storage, a desk or play space. These beds are great for rooms with small spaces since they offer the same amount of space for sleeping as bunk beds but take less space. They are also great for kids who prefer sharing the space with a sibling or friend, as the bed can easily accommodate two mattresses.
The height of a mid-sleeper varies based on the design. However they're typically between 110cm and 140cm high. This is the same as the height of a standard bedframe. Most of our mid-sleepers require a single mattress however some models may be suitable for a small double or even a triple mattress, so make sure to read the specifications of the product prior buying.

Mid-sleeper beds usually have stairs or ladders that children can climb up to reach the sleeping area above, rather than requiring them to climb up or crawl into the bed like traditional bunk beds or high sleeper beds do. This can make them easier for children of all ages to use and also encourages independence when getting ready for bed. It is crucial to ensure that the ladders or stairs are equipped with guard rails that meet safety standards and are used in such a way as to not cause injury.

Many models come with a cubby hole or stair-like drawer under the bed that can be used to store books, toys, and trinkets. Many parents love these features because they can help declutter their child's bedroom and create a more organised area that still leaves plenty of room for children to play.
Another benefit of mid-sleeper beds is that they can also be used as an office or desk. This is a great method to help kids with their assignments and homework. It's also a great chance to promote good study habits and the importance of having a designated space.
