Mid Sleeper Beds – FAQs
What are mid sleeper beds?
Mid sleeper beds are raised children’s beds with built-in storage and desk options.
Their space-saving design is accessed by a small ladder or steps, combining fun features with a more grown-up feel.
From cabin beds to themed beds, there’s a style of mid sleeper to suit different room layouts and tastes.
What age is a mid sleeper bed suitable for?
Mid sleeper beds generally suit children aged six-plus, as most designs require ladder access.
Some lower models, accessed by one or two steps, may be suitable from around four years old.
When choosing, consider the bed’s height and access style along with your child’s age and development.
Are mid sleeper beds safe for children?
Yes, mid sleeper beds are designed for children's safety and meet strict UK standards.
Lower models feature small steps for easier access, whilst higher designs include sturdy ladders and guard rails.
Always follow the bed’s age and weight guidance, choosing the right sized mattress for the frame.
Are mid sleepers a good choice for smaller rooms?
Mid sleepers are an ideal choice for smaller bedrooms where floor space is limited.
They have a similar footprint to a standard bed, with pull-out desks or storage built into the elevated frame.

Why choose a mid sleeper bed?
Mid sleepers offer the storage benefits of a raised bed at a reasonable height for your child.
They’re a middle-ground option for growing children and can suit rooms with restricted layouts or lower ceilings.
Midsleepers are a smart choice if you want more functionality than a single bed, without the height of a high sleeper.
