Discover the advantages and features of the mid-height bed for children.

Practical and stylish, the children's mid-height bed is the ideal model if you want to take care of your little ones' sleep. Do you want to install a mid-height bed in a child's room? Here are some things to know before taking the plunge with Nateo Concept, a French eco-responsible furniture brand.

#1 The solid wood mid-height bed is suitable for children of all ages

Even if there is no required age to buy a mid-height children's bed, you still need to take certain details into account. For example, it is preferable that your child has good mobility and is autonomous to climb up to their raised bed. For safety reasons, our beds have a small ladder of only 3 or 4 steps.

If your child has good motor skills, you should know that the wooden ladders installed on our mid-height beds are sturdy, made of solid wood, and non-slip. You can therefore let them manage on their own and climb up safely.

Moreover, the solid wood mid-height children's bed is not just for young children! It can perfectly be installed in a teenager's room. You just need to take the right dimensions so they can sleep comfortably at night. We recommend the 90x190cm models to ensure the bed is spacious enough.

#2 The mid-height bed offers a very appreciable space gain

This is one of the main advantages of this type of bed: you will gain a lot of space in a child's room. Indeed, the solid wood children's bed is compact and has space under the bed base that can be used in different ways (such as storage space or with a desk). If your child sleeps in a room with a limited surface area, this mezzanine bed will revolutionise the organisation of the room.

For example, you can use the area under the bed to install a desk. Your child can do their homework, play, write, paint, etc. They can also benefit from a space high enough to make dens, read stories or relax. You can also install storage furniture to be better organised.

#3 There are mid-height beds combined with other furniture

You may not have known this, but some solid wood mid-height bed models are combined with other storage spaces such as a wardrobe, chest of drawers or desk. Both sleeping, storage and work space, the MANLY mid-height bed with chest of drawers and desk in solid pine is a bed high enough to be both practical and compact.

For example, the MANLY mid-height bed with chest of drawers and desk in solid pine is a high-end and ergonomic raised children's bed. This white model, both simple and original, will allow you to optimise the available space in a child's room, thanks to an integrated desk.

#4 The mid-height bed is a real playground

Do you know about the solid pine mid-height cabin bed for children? It's a type of bed where the free area under the slatted bed base can serve as a playground for your child. You just need to furnish it to make it a real bedroom cabin. With curtains, cushions, decoration... Your child can play and relax in a cosy space all to themselves, and in complete privacy.

It's therefore a very good way to arrange the room in your child's image and create a unique space that they like. The cabin bed is ideal for children who overflow with imagination and creativity. With fairy lights at the top of the bed, fabrics or small furniture, you can create the room of their dreams. You can even replace the bed ladder with a slide for even more fun!

#5 It's better to choose an eco-friendly mid-height bed

At Nateo Concept, we only offer eco-friendly and sustainable mid-height beds for children. What does this mean? That our furniture is healthy and respectful of nature. The manufacture of our solid wood beds (mainly solid pine or birch) for children and teenagers follows very strict specifications and standards. The majority of our products are made in France.

For your child's health and safety, we advise you to opt for our beds without volatile substances and harmful components. Moreover, we only use natural and ecological raw materials and our water-based paints are solvent-free.

#6 The mid-height bed is available in different styles

The advantage of the mid-height children's bed is that it adapts to all children's rooms. It is available in various colours such as white, blue, green, etc. You can also choose them in natural solid pine, oak or birch colour. White is ideal if your child's room decoration is very colourful and original.

Opting for a simple and trendy model like white is also avoiding the risk that your child will quickly tire of it and want to change as their tastes evolve. Moreover, there's no need to wonder if the bed is for a girl or a boy. At Nateo Concept, our bedroom furniture can suit all children regardless of their tastes.

#7 A loft bed doesn't mean an uncomfortable bed

When thinking about a mezzanine-style bed, we often tend to imagine a bed very close to the ceiling with little room to sleep. In reality, the raised children's bed is very comfortable and has plenty of space.

Indeed, it has a height under the roof of 74.5 cm and a height under the bed base of 78 cm, which can be furnished with curtains for example. So your child or teenager can comfortably sit in their bed without bumping their head. They also have enough space below to create a cosy corner all to themselves. And you can use the space under the bed base as storage space.

#8 The choice of bed base and mattress is very important

The average sleep time for a child is 9 to 12 hours per night. They therefore spend most of their time in their bed. This is why they need to be comfortably installed for peaceful and restorative nights. To do this, you must carefully choose quality bedding.

First, the bed base. It complements the sleeping arrangement of the child's room. It will ensure the ventilation of the child's bed to avoid humidity. All our mid-height beds are equipped with slatted bed bases and they are certified by the most demanding French and European standards.

Then, the mattress. To have the cosiest bed possible, Nateo Concept designs different models of children's mattresses, all more qualitative than the others. You can choose the size, thickness, density, etc.

The mattress has a role in supporting your child, to avoid a bad position at night. To grow up safely, your little one must sleep on a firm (but not too firm) mattress, with good resistance and ideal density.
