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

A tall cabin bed is a great kid's bedroom furniture piece for small spaces. These beds are great for children as young as 6 years old. They are accessible via stairs or ladders.

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

The most practical and stylish models (such as the Kids Pilot cabin bed pictured above from Amazon) combine a variety of useful functions into one piece of furniture that can save space in bedrooms for children.

A downside of a cabin bed, however the bed are often very high above the ground and therefore require a ladder or stairs to climb onto. This may be too much for children who are younger or could pose an issue for those who have mobility issues. If this is the case then you might prefer a low bunk bed instead of a cabin bed.

Cabin beds can also pose a problem because the storage underneath can be overflowing with toys, clothes books, and other objects. It isn't easy to keep the room clean and tidy. A few too many things can make changing the bedding difficult, as it requires climbing up or over things.

Certain models (such the Flintshire Billie 3FT midsleeper shown in the picture) overcame this issue by incorporating a large side desk with three cube shelves as well as drawers that provide ample space to store everything. Certain models (like the Julian Bowen cookie) are more minimalist and include a short ladder to access the upper platform.

Style

Many cabin beds come with storage or other furniture built-in beneath which makes them ideal for bedrooms that are smaller or with small floor space. This allows kids to create an multi-purpose play space in their bedroom and the top bunk bed acting as storage or a desk and the space below the bed being used for play.

These higher beds for kids often include desks and other seating that can be used for homework or study. Some models also include the option of a pull-out sofa or guest bed, which allows them to accommodate friends visiting.

Some models include fun extras like slides and tents which add a sense of adventure and inspire imagination. The Maxxi kids' cabin bed for example, is the ultimate in play and sleep for children who want to start their day with a whizzing and whoosh as they race down the slide and then relax with their favourite book and a pet teddy before going out.
