Tall Cabin Bed - The Perfect Kid's Bedroom Furniture Piece

A tall cabin bed is the perfect kid's bedroom furniture piece for smaller rooms. They're perfect for kids from to about six years old. They can be accessed via an elevator or a staircase.

We suggest that your child be at least six years old before using a ladder. This is because they'll need to be responsible enough to climb safely.

Size

A cabin bed is a higher-end style of single bed with an office, sofa or a shelving unit above the sleeping space. The most practical and stylish models (such as the Kids Pilot cabin bed pictured above from Amazon) combine several useful functions into one piece of furniture that can save space in children's bedrooms. The upper part of the bed is accessible via the stairs or a small ladder. The area can serve as a desk or bookcase, as well as a storage area.

Cabin beds are commonly described as mid-sleeper bed or kids mid sleepers, and generally have a higher height than bunk beds but lower than lofts with high rise beds. They are ideal for children who aren't yet ready to be slumbering on a bunkbed but still need a higher platform so they can study or have fun.

They're also a great option for adults who live in small space and need to maximize their space. A high-quality, solid wood cabin bed is an expensive investment however the design and construction of a good model will ensure that it will last for many years.

A drawback to a cabin bed, however, is that they can be very high above the ground, and thus require a ladder or stairs to climb up. It could be too high for young children, or for those who have mobility issues. If this is the case it is possible to consider a low bunk over a cabin-style bed.

Cabin beds can also pose a problem because the storage underneath them could become filled with toys, clothes books, and other objects. It isn't easy to keep the space clean and tidy. A few items too many can make changing the bedding a bit tricky as it requires climbing up or over objects.

Certain models (such as the pictured Flintshire Billie 3FT single midsleeper bed) overcame this problem by having a large side desk three drawers and cube bookshelves, which provide plenty of space to store everything. Some models (like the Julian Bowen cookie) are more minimalist and have a ladder to access the upper platform.

Style
