A mid rise bed is the perfect way to give your child the bedroom of their dreams! We've answered some of the most frequently asked questions about these innovative kids' beds to help you make the right buying decision.

A kids mid-sleeper is elevated off the ground and features space underneath the mattress. Not as tall as a high sleeper or gaming bed, this extra space may be open and used as a play area or feature storage such as drawers, shelves or even a desk. Our mid sleeper guide explains more about these exciting kids' beds, discussing the differences between them and their taller brethren, the high sleepers!

Our children's mid sleeper beds are available to buy in the following sizes:

• Single mid sleepers (3' x 6'3", 90 x 190cm)
• Small double mid sleepers (4' x 6'3", 120 x 190cm)
• European single mid sleepers (3' x 6'6", 90 x 200cm)

Find out more about the various sizes available in our bed size guide. Are you unsure if a storage mid-sleeper is the right choice for your child's bedroom? Our bed measuring guide will help you measure up their space to make sure you have the space for one.

Midsleeper beds offer plenty of fantastic benefits, such as:

Plenty of space

The significant advantage of kids mid sleeper beds is the space they provide. There is plenty of room underneath the bed for stylish drawers and storage, meaning your child can have a space-efficient bed that doesn't look too bulky or cumbersome. Mid-sleepers might also have room for small pull-out desks and space to play, build forts, etc.

Exciting to use

Let's be honest – mid sleeper beds look cool. It's unsurprising to know that kids will find them equally as fun, which will help make bedtime easier for you! The elevated height means they will need to use the ladder to climb in and out, so it'll feel like they're having an adventure every time they go to bed.

Easy to assemble

Given how intricate a children's mid sleeper looks, you might think they're complicated to build. But that couldn't be further from the truth! Each bed comes with detailed instructions that walk you through the assembly process, or you could opt for someone to assemble your bed for you through our partnership with Taskrabbit.

Affordable kids bed

Mid sleeper beds are great for any budget, with our range starting from around £220! Our storage mid sleepers will have a higher price tag due to the extra features they are built with, but we're sure you'll find something to love in our extensive range.

Yes, if you're looking for a mid sleeper bed with desk, you're in the right place. We have two types of desks available with our mid sleepers:

• Mid sleeper with built-in desk – these are built into the frame, so they can't be moved but will always give your child somewhere to study or play.
• Mid sleeper with pull-out desk – designed to be stored underneath the frame when not in use, a pull-out desk is particularly ideal for those looking to save on space.

The advantage to buying a mid sleeper with desk is that you don't need to splurge on extra furniture, as they already have the desk they need. There's no excuse for not doing homework now!

Yes, there are plenty of midsleepers with storage options such as:

• Mid sleeper with desk – whether built into the frame or as a pull-out option that can be stored away when unused.
• Mid sleeper with drawers – storing clothing, games and more is easy with a spacious drawer, and many of our mid rise beds have built-in drawers or a handy unit that can be moved if needed.
• Mid sleeper with shelving – great for personalising their bedroom, these feature shelving options such as along the back, front or at the ends of the frame.

There isn't a concrete height that a mid sleeper should be, but on average, they are between 115cm and 130cm high. For a more precise measurement, double-check the dimensions of the bed you're interested in to find out the actual height before purchasing.

We recommend that only children over 6 use a mid-sleeper bed. This is because they must be old enough to independently climb in and out of the bed via the ladder. If they're under this age, they might be unable to safely enter and exit the bed!

Our kids' buying guide has plenty of information about the recommended ages for our kids' beds if you want to learn more.

There's no reason an adult can't use a mid sleeper bed, but it's important to remember that they are designed for children and teenagers. This means that a mid sleeper might not be able to accommodate the weight of a full-grown adult. Check the product listing or contact our customer service team to find out more.

Yes, our mid-sleeper beds are designed to the highest British Safety Standards to ensure your child's safety when using them. They include plenty of useful features, such as tall railings along the edge of the bed to reduce the risk of falling out, easy-to-use ladders, and sturdy construction. Following the assembly instructions closely ensures the bed is structurally sound for added safety!

No, a mid sleeper with storage does not require a special mattress in general. The only requirement will be to choose a mattress no higher than 16cm in height to allow the safety railings to operate as designed. Our bunk bed mattress range features many supportive kids' mattresses intended to work with railings.
