Cabin Beds for Kids

It can be challenging to ensure your child or teenager has all the space they need to relax and somewhere to sleep and study. That's where a stylish kids' cabin bed comes into play! A child's cabin bed suits everyone, from fun cabin gaming beds to simple low sleepers. But deciding which bed is right for your child can be tricky, so we've compiled answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about this popular kids' bed.

Cabin beds are a type of children's bed raised from the ground and typically feature space underneath. Some use this space as a play area for younger children, whereas others take advantage and offer storage options. They're great for any child or teenager's bedroom and ideal for saving space.

Alongside being somewhere for your child or teenager to sleep comfortably, a child's cabin bed offers other benefits such as:

Saves on space

With many storage options available, a cabin storage bed helps to save on space. This makes them ideal for small bedrooms or if siblings need to share a room, as they eliminate the need for extra furniture. Our cabin beds with desks feature either a built-in desk or a pull-out desk that can be stored underneath the frame when not in use, and some beds even have a wardrobe!

Makes bedtime exciting

Climbing in and out of bed is always more exciting when there's a ladder involved, which is why most of our kids' cabin beds are a favourite of children and teenagers all over the UK. They come in various colours, from fun pink to neutral white; some even include a slide! Whether you go with a gaming bed or a mid-sleeper, you'll find getting them to bed easier than ever.

We've got plenty of different types of cabin beds for kids available to buy, including:

• Low sleeper cabin beds – set lower to the ground, a low cabin bed is ideal for younger children.
• Mid-sleeper cabin beds – a mid-sleeper bed is set higher off the ground and features space under the bed, often used for storage or a desk.
• High sleeper cabin beds - the tallest type of kids' cabin bed. They feature more space underneath the bed, including shelving, built-in desks, or wardrobes.
• Gaming cabin beds - great for any child or teenager who loves games. A gaming bed is similar to a high sleeper but designed to accommodate screens, consoles, computer towers, or a television.
