High Sleeper Beds

As your child grows, they'll need more space to play and study. A high sleeper bed is ideal for combining both without needing extra furniture! Find out why these innovative beds are popular in the UK with our FAQs!

A high sleeper bed is simply a kids' bed that is, as the name suggests, high. It resembles a bunk bed but only features one bunk with space underneath. They're ideal for older children, teenagers, or homes wanting to maximise their available space.

The major benefit of a high sleeper bed is that it makes the most of the available space in your child or teenager's bedroom. Because a loft bed is so high, you can use the space below for whatever you need without taking up any more floor space.

Some high-rise beds are designed for gaming beds, with space underneath to accommodate a TV or a built-in desk for gaming or studying. Many of our children's high sleeper beds feature plenty of extra features, such as shelving, drawers or even a wardrobe. This helps save space and money by reducing the need for additional furniture!

Are you unsure if a high sleeper bed suits your child's needs? We've got plenty of other options, such as mid-sleepers or cabin beds!

There are many different high-rise beds to suit every home, with our most popular types being:

• High sleeper with desk - these high beds feature a desk built into the frame, which is ideal for teenagers as exam season approaches! An added advantage is that they'll have space to game or craft without splurging on a separate desk.
• High sleeper with storage – expand the storage in their bedroom with a useful kids' high sleeper with storage! Some options include shelving to display their favourite toys or books alongside drawers or even built-in wardrobes!

Plenty of colour options exist, with a children's high sleeper available in various colours, from elegant white to bold anthracite grey. So whether they want to create a gaming haven or a more adult contemporary bedroom, there's a high sleeper bed to match!

Due to the height of a high-rise bed, we recommend a minimum age for safety reasons. Children over the age of 6 should be the only ones using a high sleeper bed, as they need to be able to climb the ladder and get in and out of bed safely. Younger children might struggle with this, so we'd recommend children under 6 only use a low sleeper.

Learn more about our recommended age ranges in our kids' bed buying guide!

Can adults use a high sleeper bed?

This would depend on whether the bed is designed to accommodate the weight of a grown adult. Whilst most high sleeper beds can hold an adult, we'd recommend double-checking the product listing or contacting our customer service team for more information.

Our high sleepers have a range of storage options available, including:

• Bookcases
• Shelving
• Wardrobes
• Desks
• Cupboards

Read the description of each high-sleeper bed to find out what storage options it offers! Whilst most of these features are built into the frame, some will have extra space you can customise to your child's needs.

A kid's high sleeper is safe when assembled correctly according to instructions and has many built-in safety features, such as tall railings, fixed ladders, etc. Our high sleepers are designed and manufactured to the highest British Safety Standards, ensuring your child or teenager can sleep safely every night.

You can use any kids' mattress for a high sleeper if it is the same size as the bed and no higher than 16cm. This ensures that the safety railings on a high sleeper operate as intended to prevent your child or teenager from accidentally rolling out of bed. Our range of bunk bed mattresses has been curated to work perfectly with bunks and high sleepers!

High sleeper beds and bunk beds look similar, but they have one main difference. Bunk beds have two beds stacked on each other, whereas a high sleeper comprises a single bed raised off the ground. This makes high sleepers a better choice for saving space with room for storage and furniture beneath the bed.
