Choosing the right bed for your child can be difficult with an abundance to choose from, but with a little research, you can find one to meet all their needs. Read on to discover why a Mid sleeper bed could be a perfect choice for you.
Firstly, What is a Mid-Sleeper Bed?
As the name suggests, these beds stand at a mid-height, about halfway between the floor and a high sleeper. Being lower to the ground, with a shorter ladder to the top bunk, makes them more accessible for younger children. Some also have the option of conversion to a single bed as your child grows. With the top bunk being used as a sleeping area, the underneath can be used for a variety of useful purposes.
How can a Mid-Sleeper Benefit your Child?
Like so many things recently, Covid 19 has significantly disrupted the sleep of children and adolescents. Making their bedrooms a safe and relaxing space to spend time in has become more important than ever. This type of bed can provide the comfort needed for a good nights sleep, whilst maximising their room space for hobbies, studying or relaxing.
The Ultimate Storage Solution
As children grow and accumulate more things space often becomes a premium. Providing many storage options including wardrobes, drawers, bookcases and cubby holes can help their bedrooms stay clutter-free. Having places to store things can make cleaning their room easier and even encourage them to tidy up after themselves. Eliminating the need for extra furniture in their bedroom means you can optimise the space better. This can make the room feel less chaotic and create a calming atmosphere where they can completely unwind.
Fun and Functional
For younger children, there are many exciting options. A tent is a popular choice, has many uses and encourages imagination. It could provide a cosy space to read and draw or become a den to play and hide with friends. Another option is a slide, which would make getting out of bed much more enjoyable. You could even choose a novelty bed that is made into a special design, like a princess carriage, and make their dreams of becoming a princess or explorer come true. For older children, it could provide a much needed quiet area for study. A pull out desk is a great option. It can be hidden away when no longer needed, helping transform the room back into a relaxing space. They may prefer to have an extra bed they can pull out for a friend to sleep over. Having the extra storage space will create more room for a chill-out space, where they could have cushions and beanbags.
Cost-Effective
As previously mentioned, you have the option to convert back to a single bed when your child outgrows this style. This means you may be able to choose a more expensive bed knowing that it will last for years to come, saving you money in the long run. Choosing a bed with storage options also greatly reduces the need for extra furniture. If the bed comes with another pull out bed you will be able to save money on air beds etc. when your child has sleepovers. So lastly, investing in a mid sleeper bed is about investing in space, lifestyle and creating a cosy room that can be multifunctional and flexible where needed. Mid sleeper beds look just as good as they are practical and who knows they might even inspire your child to keep their room tidy!
