Mid Sleeper Beds – Smart, Stylish Sleep & Storage for Kids
Give your child’s bedroom the ultimate upgrade with our range of mid sleeper beds – built for fun, function, and growing independence. Whether you need handy storage, a play space underneath, or just a smarter use of floor space, our kids mid sleeper beds deliver.
Perfect for children aged six years and up, these beds offer the ideal height: not too high, not too low — just right for sleep, storage, and imaginative play. They are an excellent choice for growing kids who need a cosy and cool sleeping space that also helps keep their room tidy.
What Is a Mid Sleeper Bed?
A mid sleeper bed (also called a midsleeper bed) sits slightly elevated, with a sturdy ladder or straight ladder for access. Underneath, there's space for storage, a desk, or a chill out zone — perfect for making the most of a child's bedroom or shared spaces.
Many of our children’s mid sleeper beds feature built-in drawers, shelves, or pull out desks, eliminating the need for extra furniture. Whether you’re furnishing a compact room or looking to encourage independence, mid sleepers are a clever, space saving solution.
Compared to high sleeper beds, which are taller and often include bunk beds or loft beds, mid sleepers are safer and more suitable for younger children while still offering plenty of storage options and play areas underneath.
Top Benefits of Mid Sleeper Beds
🛏️ Maximise Space with Storage Underneath
Use the storage underneath for built-in drawers, cupboards, or shelves to keep toys, clothes, and books organised. This helps free up valuable floor space in the bedroom, making it easier to keep tidy.
🧒 Perfect for Children Aged 6+
A mid sleeper bed is the perfect fit for children aged six years and older, offering just the right height for comfort and safety features such as guardrails and secure ladders.
🎨 Encourages Imaginative Play
Turn the space underneath into a den, reading nook, or adventure zone. Many designs are made to encourage imaginative play and can be customised with colourful tents or curtains in popular colours like pink, blue, or grey.
🧰 Built-In Storage and Pull Out Desk Options
Choose models with built-in drawers, cupboards, shelves, or a pull out desk to support homework and creative projects without needing additional furniture.
🪜 Safe & Easy to Climb
All beds feature a sturdy ladder, solid bed frame often made from pine or other quality woods, and sturdy construction. Our mid sleeper beds meet the highest safety standards and are tested for everyday use.
