Childrens Mid-sleeper beds

Kids mid-sleeper beds are also known as cabin beds or captains beds.  Typically around 70cm above the floor, childrens cabin beds usually contain storage space in the form of drawers or cupboards under the area used for sleep.  Captains beds are usually manufactured in wood but can also come in metal or a painted white finish.  Originally named because of their use on ships and designed to combat the confined space available, this type of childrens bed is particularly popular in childrens bedrooms that are small where there is a lack of space for the storage of clothes and toys.  Kids cabin beds are usually not recommended for children under the age of 6 due to the height of the bed.
