Small Double Cabin Beds
Designed with practicality in the back of your mind, cabin beds raise the sleeping space above, freeing up space below for storage or playing. Many have additional storage options built into, such as shelves or drawers.
Selecting the best bed for your child starts with an assessment of their needs and room aesthetics. Think about what your child may like to do with the space in the near future.
Lofted
A loft or mid sleeper bed is a great way to make use of floor space. The bed raises your mattress to a comfortable level, which allows you to use the space beneath it for storage, such as a couch or desk or even for storing things. Some models include a built-in desk or dresser for maximum functionality. Some have an open design that allows you to style the bed's underside in the way you like.
There are safer models that have a wider ladder and safety railings around. This is especially important for older children as well as teenagers who are more likely to slide out of bed or fall while climbing up. Look for a ladder that can lock in place and ensure that the safety railings are extended beyond the edge of the mattress.
Loft-style cabin beds are the most popular, as they maximize space by elevating the the sleeping platform higher than the standard single or double bed. It's a fantastic option for smaller bedrooms in which wall space and floor space is at a minimum. Many of the loft bed frames in this collection come with smart storage solutions, like a desk and shelves as well as drawers. They can be removed once your child or teen is no longer in the bed.
A 3 Sleeper Cabin is another way to maximise bedroom space, featuring a small double on the upper level and a futon sofa bed on the lower level that can be removed when guests stay over. This is perfect for young adults moving from their parents' home to a shared house or even in a dorm.
Mid-Sleeper
The mid-sleeper is a practical solution that strikes a perfect balance between design and function. They come with a raised sleeping platform and open space underneath which you can use to store things, as a desk or play space. Often mid sleeper beds offer an accessible ladder to get to the top of the bed, while others have a fun slide that doubles as a climbing ramp or play area for kids.
The mid and high sleeper beds are an excellent option for children because they are stylish, durable and can be customised with a range of extra features to match their personal style. A lot of designs come with clever storage solutions built into, such as drawers and shelves, to help keep their space neat. Workstations, desks and accessories such as play tents and tunnels are also interesting alternatives.
We suggest that children don't use mattresses that are deeper than 15cm in a middle-sleeper or high bed. This is to avoid any safety risks. It's also a good idea to review the guidelines of the manufacturer for specific safe usage recommendations and also taking into consideration your child's age and whether they are ready to move up to a higher bed.
The majority of cabin beds are made with the nautical theme in mind. This gives a fresh and vibrant style that your child will enjoy. You can incorporate other colors to create subtle designs. The most popular color palette is red and navy. A bright pink is the perfect choice for girls, and neutral gray can be the ideal choice for boys.
High Sleeper
A high sleeper, small double cabin bed offers a similar solution to a mid-sleeper, but raises the sleeping platform significantly and provides space beneath for furniture or activities. This is a great option for children who are looking for a room with multiple functions that can be used as a study space with seating, or a large storage. They're also ideal for teenagers as well as anyone who lives in an urban apartment, as they are the best space-saving solution.

Our most popular choices include a high sleeper with futon that's perfect for relaxing or a relaxing night in, or the Fargo small double cabin bed with a corner desk and futon, which lets your child make a spacious study area with ample room to work on projects.

If you decide to go with a mid-sleeper or a high-sleeper bed, make sure your child is mature enough and physical coordination to safely climb the ladder climb up and down their elevated bed. We suggest you take measurements of the height of the ceiling to ensure there is enough headroom to accommodate the elevated sleeping platform.
All of our high and mid-sleeper beds at Cuckooland are constructed from a hard wood such as Oak or Ash and are responsibly sourced. While pine is a less expensive alternative, we recommend using the harder wood to ensure that your loft will last as long as possible and last for the duration of daily use.
Cabin
The cabin double bed is a great solution for rooms with limited space. The beds are slightly elevated and include a ladder or without to help your child to get in. The space beneath the bed can be used for storage or study purposes.
A lot of Little Folks Furniture's middle sleeper cabin beds come with integrated storage, like shelves or drawers. This keeps the room neat and organised while giving children the space to store their clothes, books and toys. A majority of our cabin beds also have an open table that is ideal for homework or studying. Some even come with fun play curtains or tents that add a touch of adventure to the bedroom of your child.
A good quality cabin bed will last for many years to come, so it's important to choose one with durable wood frames that can endure the test of time. You might also want to ensure that your child's room is future-proofed particularly if you are certain that they will leave home to go to university or move in together with a friend. It is important to think about a solid lofted or bunk bed with removable safety rails and safety barriers for the greatest flexibility.
It is important to keep in mind that your child will spend a lot more time in the top bunk of their bunk bed than on the bottom. Memory foam mattresses are a great choice for a good night's rest. They mould to your child's shape and offer comfort and support. Pocket sprung mattresses are a excellent option, since they can be moved independently across the mattress, which can help to reduce motion transfer.
Bunk
The bunk bed is a popular choice for those looking to make the most of their floor space and provide a wonderful space for their children to sleep. This type of bed is similar to a high-sleeper, or mid-sleeper, in that the frame is higher than the standard single bed. The upper space has a ladder, making it perfect for smaller rooms.
There are many different styles and configurations available for all our beds. Some models include integrated storage options that are ideal for storing away toys and clothes. Others have pull-out desks ideal for kids to study on or use as a work space. Some come with curtains and play tents for an exciting space.
Before you decide before you make your decision, you must determine whether your child is old enough for bunk beds and think about the future requirements of your child. They might prefer to have a double bed in the next few years, and you might consider purchasing an convertible sofa to maximize their room's space.
cheap cabin beds should also think about how much you're willing to spend as well as the design of the bunk bed. Certain models are less expensive than others, while solid wooden frames are more expensive, but they are durable and hard-wearing. Certain models have hybrid mattresses that blend the comfort of a spring mattress with the properties of foam to relieve pressure.
