Tall Cabin Bed - The Perfect Kid's Bedroom Furniture Piece

A tall cabin beds mid sleeper bed (read this blog post from Bravejournal) is the ideal furniture piece for kids' bedrooms in smaller rooms. They're ideal for children from to about six years old. They are accessible via an elevator or a staircase.

We recommend that your child is at least six years old before using a ladder. This is because they'll have to be able to climb safely.

Size

A cabin bed is an elevated type of single bed that has the option of a sofa, desk, or a shelf above the sleeping area. The most stylish and practical models (such as this Kids Pilot cabin bed from Amazon, pictured above) combine multiple functions into one piece, thereby saving space in the children's bedroom. The upper part of the bed can be accessed through an escalator or small ladder. The space can also be used as a desk or bookcase, as well as a storage area.

Cabin beds are commonly called mid-sleeper beds or kids mid sleepers and they typically have a higher elevation than bunkbeds but lower than high rise loft beds. They are perfect for older children who aren't yet ready to sleep on a bunk bed but still need a higher platform where they can study or play.

They're also a great option for those who live in a cramped space and want to maximize their available space. A high-quality solid wood cabin bed can be an expensive investment however the design and construction of a good model will ensure it lasts for many years.

The drawback of the cabin bed, however, is that they can be quite high off the ground and require a ladder or steps to climb onto. It could be too high for young children or for people with mobility problems. If this is an issue, you might be better off choosing an incredibly low bunk bed instead of a cabin bed.

Another disadvantage of cabin beds is that the storage beneath can be very cluttered with books, toys, clothes and other items. It can be hard to keep the area tidy. A few too many items may make it difficult to change the bedding, especially if you have to climb or reach over them.

Certain models (such the Flintshire Billie 3FT midsleeper shown in the image) overcome this problem by incorporating a large side desk with three cube shelves as well as drawers, giving ample space to store everything. Other models (like the julian bowen cabin bed Bowen Cookie) are more minimal in appearance and come with a an easy ladder to access the upper platform.

Style

Many cabin beds come with storage space or other furniture built-in underneath which makes them ideal for bedrooms that are smaller or with limited floor space. This lets kids create a multifunctional play area in their bedroom with the top bunk bed acting as storage or a desk, and the space below the bed used for playing.

For older children who are ready to move away from a crib for toddlers, a mid-sleeper cabin or high-sleeper bed is the next step on their growth. These beds for older children usually have desks as well as seating to help them with homework and study and some models featuring a pull-out sofa, or guest bed, so they can accommodate visiting friends.

Some models come with fun features like slides and tents which add a sense of adventure and inspire imagination. The Maxxi kids cabin bed is the ultimate in play and sleep for kids who want to begin their day by whizzing down the slide, and then curl up with a book or a favorite pet.

Many cabin beds come with drawers or other shelving options that can be used to store clothes, books, and toys, while keeping the bedroom clean and neat.

Safety

Cabin beds can be a relaxing and practical solution for children's sleeping requirements. The raised platforms for sleeping provide areas beneath which can be used to play or study, or even storage. A lot of cabin beds come with built-in shelving on the headboards and sides for storage of books and toys. Desks can be integrated into the frame, transforming the bed into a movable piece of furniture.

Safety is the main factor to take into consideration when choosing raised beds for children, particularly those that require a step ladder. Parents should be aware of their child's readiness to use an adult bed. This is usually around the age of four or higher. It's recommended that children wait until they reach at least six years old before they can use the top bunk of the bed frame that has a ladder.

To minimise the risk of accidents, look for a top-quality shorty cabin bed bed made of sturdy materials with edges and corners that have been rounded. Make sure that ladder rungs are separated to avoid entrapment and that children cannot slip through. Soft padding around potential collision areas also reduces the chance of injury and many cabin bed with pull out bed bed designs are fully padded to ensure that any bumps and bruises won't leave marks on the skin.

Another important aspect to consider for safety when selecting a cabin bed is that it must be easy to put together without the need for tools. It will be much easier for parents to put the bed in a safe place, such as their bedroom, and quickly remove or reposition storage components as needed.

The bed should be easy to clean and maintain. Ideal is a bed with removable panels that can be easily wiped down, and a sturdy frame constructed of non-toxic materials. These features will keep the cabin bed looking good for longer and ensure that it can continue to offer a functional and enjoyable bed for an expanding child.

Stores

Children like beds that are elevated off the ground. Whether they're bunk beds or mid sleepers, they add an element of entertainment to their bedrooms and sleeping areas. Cabin beds are practical, since many have built-in storage. This makes them ideal for small rooms or homes which want to maximize space.

A loft bed is an example of a cabin-style bed that is built-in with storage. They usually have a shelf that is open under the mattress, and some even have a pull-out desk to play or study. This is ideal for kids who wish to work late or stay up late.

The Lifetime Climb & Slide cabin bed with stairs Bed is a good example. It includes two boxes on castors that fit under the mattress, which means there's plenty of storage into this kids' cabin bed.

Many of our cabin beds come with underbed drawers. These can be great to store clothes, bedding or toys. They are particularly helpful if you're struggling to get space in the bedroom of your child.

Some of our high and mid sleeper designs also include various furniture options that can be positioned under and around the beds. This lets you personalize the appearance of your child's space and could include things such as a wardrobe, desk or even a fold up sofa for sleepovers.

Although the extra furniture can be a great way to make space in your child's bedroom however, you should think about how safe it is to use a high-sleeper or top bunk. Some experts recommend that children younger than the age of 12 years use these beds. It is essential to consider the safety of your child before buying. Moving sheets or changing the bedding can be a challenge on a bed that is raised as you're in the middle of climbing and reaching and descending, so it's crucial to consider this when deciding on the cabin bed.
