Tidy rooms, happy kids, calmer evenings. Mid sleeper beds raise the mattress to a practical height, creating usable space underneath for storage, play, or a study nook—perfect for small and medium bedrooms. Every model in our collection is carefully selected for safety, sturdiness, and everyday comfort, so you can choose once and love it for years.
Why choose a Mid Sleeper from Kidsorium?
Real space gains: Turn the area under the bed into drawers, cube storage, a pull-out desk, or a play den—without making the room feel cramped.
Kid-friendly height: Easier to climb than high sleepers, with protective rails and secure ladders.
Built to last: Quality materials, smooth finishes, and solid fixings designed for daily use.
Room to personalise: Neutral colours and modular add-ons (desks, bookcases, curtains) that evolve as your child’s needs change.
Easy to shop: Clear specs, UK-standard sizing, and friendly advice from our team.
What makes our mid sleepers different?
Safety first: Look for models tested to EN 747 standards, with proper guard-rail height and anti-tip storage units.
Smart layouts: Straight or angled ladders, reversible orientation on many designs, and pull-out desks for compact rooms.
Quality you can feel: Sturdy frames and durable finishes that resist scuffs and make cleaning simple.
Clear guidance: We specify maximum mattress depth, weight limits, and assembly notes on each product page.
How to pick the perfect one (quick checklist)
Measure the room: Length/width of the bed, ladder clearance, and headroom above the mattress (aim for ~60 cm so your child can sit up).
Prioritise features: Storage vs. study vs. play—choose the configuration that solves your biggest pain point.
Match the mattress: Most use a UK single (90 × 190 cm) with a low-profile depth (typically 15–16 cm).
Plan ahead: Select modular pieces that can be reconfigured as your child grows.
Think assembly: Two-adult build recommended; professional assembly may be available—check the product page.
FAQs
1) What age are mid sleeper beds for?
Typically from around 6 years and up, once your child can climb confidently and follow ladder rules. Always check the manufacturer’s age guidance and your child’s readiness.
2) What is a mid sleeper bed?
A mid sleeper (also called a cabin bed) lifts the mattress roughly 70–120 cm off the floor—high enough for practical storage or a small desk, lower than a high sleeper.
3) Can adults sleep in a mid sleeper bed?
They’re designed for children. Occasional adult use may be fine if the stated weight limit and dimensions allow. Always check the maximum load and ladder suitability on the product page.
4) What kind of mattress fits in a mid sleeper bed?
Most accept a UK single 90 × 190 cm. Use a low-profile mattress (about 15–16 cm deep) so the guard rail remains effective. Follow the exact depth recommended for your chosen model.
5) Are mid sleepers safe?
Yes—when used correctly. Choose designs that meet EN 747 standards, assemble on a level floor, secure any included storage to prevent tipping, and teach simple rules (no jumping; one person on the ladder at a time).
6) Will a mid sleeper fit in a small room?
Usually, yes. Measure for ladder access and drawer/desk pull-out space. Many models are reversible, letting you place the ladder on the left or right to suit your layout.
7) Do they come with storage or a desk?
Many do. Some include built-in drawers, shelves, or a pull-out desk; others are modular so you can add storage cubes, chests, or play curtains. Check the “What’s Included” section on each product page.
8) What’s the typical weight limit?
It varies by brand and model, often 80–100 kg combined (sleeper plus bedding). Always follow the manufacturer’s guidance.
9) How difficult is assembly?
Most arrive flat-packed with clear instructions. Expect a two-adult build. If you’d rather not DIY, select a model with professional assembly options where offered.
10) How high should my ceilings be?
Allow comfortable headroom: aim for ~60 cm from mattress top to ceiling so your child can sit up. Standard UK ceiling heights are usually fine.
11) Can I convert a mid sleeper back to a standard single?
Some modular frames allow reconfiguration. Look for conversion kits in the product details or ask our team for compatible options.
12) Any tips to keep it quiet and sturdy?
Tighten fixings after the first two weeks (as materials settle) and re-check every few months. Use felt pads under freestanding storage to reduce movement and noise.
13) What bedding works best?
Standard single bedding fits. Fitted sheets simplify bed-making at height; a lighter duvet often feels more comfortable.
14) Do you offer delivery options?
We offer fast UK delivery on most models; lead times vary by brand and finish. See the product page for current availability and options.
