Our convertible mid-sleeper beds

Popular with children and parents alike, the children's mid-sleeper bed provides a cosy, reassuring space for peaceful nights while also offering extra storage space. Halfway between a classic bed and a loft bed, it comes in many forms to adapt to different needs.

So what exactly is a mid-sleeper bed? What different types of mid-sleeper beds exist? Why choose one? How to raise it? We explain everything and even invite you to discover the models designed by Nateo Concept.

What is a children's mid-sleeper bed?

The mid-sleeper bed sits between a classic bed and a loft bed. The height of its base is generally between 80 and 120 cm. Children access it via a small ladder. The sleeping area is surrounded by safety rails around the mattress for added security.

It's a bed that can typically be used from age 3. This bed can be used for both night-time sleep and naps. There are many different models to meet the various expectations of both parents and children.

The different types of mid-sleeper beds

When looking to purchase a children's mid-sleeper bed, several options are available such as:

  • The mid-sleeper house bed: directly inspired by the famous Montessori house bed, it features the same house-shaped structure. The bed becomes a reassuring and fun space for children, making it easier for them to transition from a low bed.
  • The 90x190 mid-sleeper bed: this is the classic version of this bed with standard single bed measurements. This means that this children's mid-sleeper bed can be kept until adolescence.
  • The mid-sleeper bed with storage: some models are designed to maximize space efficiency and include storage underneath the bed. This could include shelves or drawers, for example. You can store toys, clothes, books, etc.
  • The mid-sleeper bed with desk: another alternative that integrates a small desk right under the children's mid-sleeper bed.
  • The eco-friendly children's mid-sleeper bed: most often made of solid wood, it combines aesthetics and eco-responsibility with carefully chosen materials and local manufacturing.
  • The convertible mid-sleeper bed: it can be transformed into a loft bed or bunk bed depending on the model.

Why choose this type of convertible sleeping solution?

The children's mid-sleeper bed offers many advantages. It's accessible from age 3, allowing younger children to enjoy a fun and reassuring environment. Children who struggle to stay in their beds might find it easier with a bed they love. Nestled above the ground, they can make this space their own both day and night.

For parents, the space-saving aspect of the children's mid-sleeper bed is very appealing. If there's no built-in storage, you can still slide a toy chest, storage baskets, or even a pouffe underneath to create a nice reading corner. The children's mid-sleeper bed is therefore ideal for rooms that are a bit short on space.

The convertible version of the children's mid-sleeper bed is even more relevant as it allows you to choose furniture that grows with your child. Since bunk beds are only recommended from age 6, you can evolve the bed and raise it when the child is ready. You can even consider adding a second bed underneath if you have another child and if you have a suitable bed model.

How to raise a convertible children's mid-sleeper bed?

By choosing a convertible children's mid-sleeper bed, you give yourself the option to raise it if desired. In other words, the sleeping area that was initially 80 cm from the ground can be raised to about 160 cm. This way, you can gain space underneath to add storage furniture, a small desk, a bench, or something else. For mid-sleeper beds that convert to bunk beds, you can even add a new bed underneath.

The process of raising a children's mid-sleeper bed is generally very simple when you choose well-designed furniture. Simply follow the assembly instructions you'll find in your furniture's manual. Sometimes, all the elements are already present in the original furniture, sometimes you'll need to add an extension kit.
