For a child, a bedroom is more than just a place to sleep. It is their playroom, their chill-out zone, their place to hang out with friends and their space to relax alone. Therefore, a bed for a child needs to be much more than just a bed and this is why our range of cabin beds continues to be so popular with our customers. Here are five reasons why a cabin bed is a perfect choice for a multi-functional children's bedroom: 

1.      More Space 

In many homes, children often end up with the smallest bedrooms in the house. Finding a way to provide our child with a little more space is a challenge many of us face as parents. Mid Sleeper Beds and High Sleeper Beds are an economical ways to increase the floor space in a room without resorting to knocking down walls! By raising the height of the bed, space is created below that opens up the proportions of the room and gives an additional area for playing, relaxing or storage. Our childrens beds such as the Steens For Kids Midsleeper are open underneath to allow that extra space to be used as your child desires. 

2.      More Storage

As every parent knows, children come with a lot of stuff! Toys, books, clothes, crafts, collections and all manner of paraphernalia that must all, somehow, fit into a single room. This is why many of our mid and high sleeper children's beds come with a fantastic range of options for integrated storage solutions. The Amani Cosy Mid Sleeper Bed in Grey features a mixture of shelves and drawers, whilst the Flair Charlie Mid Sleeper Bed in White increases the storage further by utilising the steps as extra cubbies for all of your child's favourite treasures.

3.      A Place to Play

Is there anything more exciting for a child than having their very own secret den? The space beneath a mid-sleeper bed is a super spot for a cosy hide-away, and many of our children’s beds come with the accessories needed to make your child's dream den a reality. The Julian Bowen Pluto Mid Sleeper Bed comes with fabric panels to enclose the area below for the perfect play space. But if that space underneath is needed for storage, it doesn't mean your child needs to miss out. The Kids Avenue Midi and Mini Playhouse Beds both feature a covered area above and storage below for the best of both worlds. And if you really want to take the play potential to the next level, the Parisot Tobo Mid Sleeper Bed includes a slide for a magic start to the morning!

4.      Funky yet Functional for Older Children and Teenagers

If your child is a little older, the list of requirements for a functional and fashionable bedroom may be different, but the right cabin bed will still be able to tick all of the boxes. A large number of our beds come with integrated desks, such as the Thuka Nordic Mid Sleeper and the Kids Avenue Eli B Mid Sleeper, which both feature desks that can be neatly stored away beneath the bed but pulled out when needed for homework time. High-sleepers are also a great option for older children and teenagers, as the extra headroom underneath these beds provides even more opportunity for storage, studying and seating. The Kids Avenue Estella High Sleeper benefits from a futon for sleepovers, whilst the stylish Trasman Pod Solo Gaming Sleeper provides the ultimate space for the keen gamer.

5.      A Good Night's Sleep

There are so many things to consider when making children’s bedroom improvements, as we know that a child's bedroom is their castle. It is their place to play, to explore, to indulge in their hobbies and their passions, their place to store their belongings and display their collections. It is so many things and yet at the centre of it all, it is their place to sleep, which is why the bed is the most important feature of the room and the piece of furniture that deserves the most thought and consideration. The cabin bed remains a popular choice because they provide that place to sleep but also gives so much more. Their versatility maximises the space in your child's bedroom, ensuring it is a comfortable and welcoming place for them. 

That means a good night's sleep for them and a job well done by you!
