Small Double Cabin Beds
Cabin beds are designed with practicality in mind. They elevate the sleeping area, allowing more space below for storage or play. Many have additional built-in storage solutions such as shelves or drawers.
The first step in choosing the ideal bed for your kid is to evaluate the needs of your child and the aesthetics of the space. Consider what they might like to make use of the space in the future, too.
Lofted
metal cabin bed or loft bed is an excellent way to make space. The bed raises the mattress to a comfortable level, so you can use the space underneath it for storage, as a couch or desk or even to store things. Some models come with built-in desks or dressers for maximum functionality, while others feature an open design that lets you decorate the under-bed area in the way you like.
While most loft beds feature narrow ladders, you can find models with safer alternatives that are wide enough for easy steps and feature safety railings on all sides. This is especially important for older children and teens who are more likely to fall out of bed in the middle of the night or fall off while climbing up. Look for ladders that are locked and ensure that the safety railings extend well beyond the edge of the mattress.
The most popular kind of cabin bed is the loft design, which can maximize the area by elevating the sleeping platform to a much higher level than a standard single or double bed. This is a great option for smaller bedrooms with a limited wall and floor space. A lot of loft bed frames in this collection include smart storage solutions, including desks, shelves, and drawers. These can all be removed once your child or teenager outgrows the bed.
A 3 Sleeper Cabin lets you make the most of your bedroom space. It has a small double bed on the upper floor as well as an futon couch on the lower floor that can be rolled out for guests. It's ideal for young adults who are planning to move from their parents' home to a shared flat or perhaps into the dormitory.
Mid-Sleeper
The mid-sleeper is a practical solution that strikes the perfect balance between design and function. The mid-sleeper features an elevated platform for sleeping and an open space below that can be used as a desk, storage or play space. Mid-sleeper beds typically include a ladder, which allows access to the upper level. Some have a slide or climbing ramp for children.
High and mid-sleeper beds are great choices for children because they are stylish and durable and can be customized with extra features that fit their individual preferences. Many designs have clever storage options built-in like shelves and drawers, to help keep their space tidy. Other cool options include pull out workstations and desks to help them study, and accessories like tunnels or a play tent for them to snuggle and sleep under.
We advise that children do not use a mattress that is more than 15cm in a middle-sleeper or high bed. This is to prevent any safety risks. Also, make sure to check the guidelines provided by the manufacturer for safe use and take into account your child's age to determine if they're ready for a bed that is high.
The majority of cabin beds are constructed in a nautical style, giving them a striking look that will appeal to your child. The classic color palette includes shades of navy and red, but you can also include other colours to create a subtle style. For instance, a vibrant pink is an ideal choice for girls and neutral grey is a great option for boys.
High Sleeper
A high sleeper, small double cabin bed provides a similar option to a mid-sleeper, but raises the bed's platform considerably, allowing space beneath it for furniture or other activities. This is a great option for children seeking a room that is multi-functional that allows them to create the perfect study area with seating, or a large storage. These are also great for teenagers as well as anyone who lives in a city apartment because they're the most efficient way to save space.

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 and climb up and down their elevated bed. We also recommend evaluating the height of your ceiling to ensure there's adequate head space to comfortably accommodate the higher sleeping platform.
Cuckooland's high and mid-sleeper bed range is made from hard woods, such as Ash or Oak, which are responsibly source. While pine is a cost-effective alternative, we would recommend selecting a stronger wood to ensure your loft bed for your child will last for a long time and will be durable enough to withstand the demands of an expanding child.
Cabin
The cabin's small double cabin bed is the ideal space-saving solution for rooms that are smaller. The beds are slightly elevated and include a ladder or without to help your child climb in. The space underneath the bed can be used to store things or for study.
A lot of Little Folks Furniture's mid-sleeper cabin beds have integrated storage, such as shelves or drawers. This helps keep the room neat and organised while giving children an area to store their clothes, books and toys. A lot of our cabin beds also come with a pull-out desk which is ideal for study or homework. Some even have fun play tents or curtains that add a touch of adventure to the bedroom of your child.
Choose a bed in a cabin with solid wood frames that will last. You may also want to future-proof your child's room particularly if you are certain that they'll leave home to attend university or move in together with a partner. It's essential to consider a sturdy bunk bed or lofted bed that has removable safety rails and safety barriers to ensure maximum flexibility.
When you are choosing a mattress to fit your child's cabin bed, it's important to keep in mind that they'll spend more time in the top bunk than the bottom one. To ensure your child gets the best quality sleep we suggest choosing a memory foam mattress, that molds to the shape of your child to provide personalized support and comfort. Pocket sprung mattresses are a excellent option, since they can be moved independently across the mattress, which helps to minimize motion transfer.
Bunk
The bunk bed is a popular choice for those looking to optimise their floor space and provide a wonderful space for their children to sleep. This kind of bed is similar to a high-sleeper, or mid-sleeper, in the sense that the frame is higher than a conventional single bed. The upper area is equipped with an incline, making it ideal for small rooms.
There are a variety of designs and configurations for our beds. Some models have integrated storage, which is great for storing toys and clothes. Some models have tables that can be pulled out that are ideal for kids to study or create a workspace. Some come with fun curtains or play tents, to create a space that is truly thrilling.
It is crucial to consider your child's needs in the future and their age before making a decision. In the next few years, they may prefer a bed that is double-sized. It's possible to consider a convertible couch to make the most of space in their room.
You should also think about how much you're willing to spend and the style of the bunk bed. Certain models are less expensive than others, and solid wood frames tend to be more expensive but are long-lasting and hard-wearing. Some models also feature hybrid mattresses that combine the feel of springs and the pressure-relieving benefits of foam.
