High Sleeper Beds – FAQs
What is a high sleeper bed?
High sleeper beds are the most elevated of children’s beds, combining stylish design with everyday practicality.
Also known as children's loft beds, they make great use of the space beneath with built-in desks, wardrobes and storage.
Ideal for older kids and teens, high sleepers turn a single bed space into a smart gaming bed or study zone.
What age is a high sleeper suitable for?
High sleepers are generally suitable for children aged six years and above, due to the bed’s height and access.
As with all raised or high beds, they are best suited to children who are confident climbing a ladder independently.
When choosing, consider your child’s age and development, using the bed's minimum age as a guide.
Are high sleeper beds safe for children?
Yes, high sleeper beds are designed with safety in mind, with a secure ladder and sturdy guard rails around the sleep area.
Position the bed away from windows, shelving or lights and follow mattress depth guidance so guard rails remain effective.
For ongoing safety, check the bed’s fixings regularly to minimise frame movement and keep your child safe.
Can a high sleeper fit in a small bedroom?
Absolutely, high sleepers are a smart solution for smaller rooms, as they use vertical space efficiently.
Measure carefully to ensure there's enough headroom, clear ladder access and space for drawers or cupboards to open.
If work or play is a priority but ceiling height is an issue, explore our range of desk beds for a lower, space-saving alternative.
What are the benefits of a high sleeper bed?
High sleepers combine style with functional design and are the perfect upgrade for a more grown-up room.
Most designs include storage, maximising floor space, with a high sleeper desk bed ideal for study and gaming.
With a sleek design, they appeal to older children and teens, supporting their personality and growing interests.
