All-Inclusive Guide To Small Double Cabin Bed
Small Double Cabin Beds
Cabin beds are designed with functionality in mind. They raise the sleeping area, creating more space below for storage or play. Many come with additional storage options built-in, such as shelves or drawers.
The first step to choosing the ideal bed for your child is to consider their needs and aesthetics of the room. Consider what they may like to make use of the space in the future, as well.
Lofted
A mid-sleeper or loft bed is a great option to reclaim floor space. The bed raises your mattress up to a comfortable level so that you can utilize the space beneath it for storage, for a couch or desk, or even to store things. Some models come with a built in desk or dresser to maximize functionality. Others have an open design which allows you to style the area under the bed as you please.
Although most loft beds come with narrow ladders however, there are models with safer options that are wide enough for easy steps, and also have safety railings on all sides. This is particularly crucial for older kids and teens who are more apt to roll out of the bed during the night or fall off while climbing up. Find ladders that are locked and ensure the safety railings are extending beyond the edge of the mattress.
Loft style cabin beds are the most sought-after, since they maximize space by elevating the sleeping platform higher than the standard single or double bed. This is a great choice for smaller bedrooms with a limited wall and floor space. A lot of the loft beds in this collection feature clever storage solutions built into the frame, like shelves, a study desk, and drawers. All of them are easily removed when your child or teenager outgrows them.
A 3 Sleeper Cabin lets you maximize the space you have in your bedroom. It features a small double bed on the upper level and a futon couch on the lower level that can be rolled out to accommodate guests. It's ideal for young adults who may be moving out of their parents' house into an apartment shared by two people, or even into a dormitory.
Mid-Sleeper
The mid-sleeper is a space-saving solution that strikes the perfect balance between fashion and practical. They have a bed that is elevated and an open space beneath, which can be used to store things, as a desk or play area. Most mid-sleeper beds have an access ladder to the top of the bed, while others have an enjoyable slide that doubles as a climbing ramp or play area for kids.
The mid and high sleeper beds are a great choice for children as they are stylish, durable and customizable with a range of extra features to match their personal style. Many designs have clever storage solutions built in, such as drawers and shelves, to keep their rooms tidy. Pull out desks, workstations and other accessories like play tents and tunnels are also cool options.
We suggest that children do not use a mattress that is more than 15cm in a middle-sleeper or high bed. This is to avoid any risk to safety. It's also worth checking the manufacturer's guidelines for specific safe usage recommendations and also assessing your child's age and whether they are ready to move up to higher beds.
The majority of cabin beds are constructed in the nautical style, giving them a striking look that will appeal to your child. The classic color palette is comprised of shades of navy and red, but you can also introduce other colours to create a more subtle look. For instance, a vibrant pink is a great choice for girls and neutral greys are a great option for boys.
High Sleeper
A high sleeper small double cabin bed provides a similar option to a mid-sleeper bed, but elevates the sleeping platform significantly, offering space underneath for furniture or other activities. The benefit of this is that it's ideal for children who want the freedom of a larger multi-purpose bedroom, allowing them to designate the perfect study space, seating or extensive storage solutions. They're also an excellent choice for teenagers or anyone living in an apartment since they offer the ultimate space-saving solution.
Like all of our kids beds here at Cuckooland we provide an array of styles and designs that will fit your child's preferences and room.

If you choose a high or mid-sleeper bed, make sure that your child has the maturity and physical coordination to safely climb up the ladder and climb up and down their elevated bed. We also recommend evaluating the ceiling's height to ensure that there is enough headroom to comfortably fit the higher sleeping platform.
All of our beds for high and mid-sleepers here at Cuckooland are constructed from a hard wood such as Oak or Ash and are responsibly procured. While pine is a cost-effective alternative, we suggest selecting a stronger wood to ensure that your loft bed for your child will endure the test of time and be sturdy enough for daily use by the growing child.
Cabin
The cabin small double bed is a great solution for rooms with limited space. The beds are slightly elevated above the ground and are available with or without a ladder to help your child climb up. The space beneath is left for practical purposes, such as storage or a study area.
Many of our Little Folks Furniture mid sleeper cabin beds come with integrated storage solutions, including shelves or drawers. This helps to keep the room tidy and organized, while also giving kids a place to store their toys, clothes, and books. Many cabin beds come with a pull-out desk which is perfect for studying or homework. Some cabin beds come with fun play tents or curtains to give a sense of adventure to your child's room.
A quality cabin bed will last for a long time to come, which is why it's crucial to select one with strong wooden frames that will stand up to the tests of time. You'll also want to consider future-proofing your child's bedroom, especially if they're likely to leave home for school or move in with a friend. It is important to think about a sturdy lofted or bunk bed with removable safety rails and safety barriers for maximum flexibility.
When you are choosing a mattress to fit your child's cabin bed, it's important to remember that they'll spend a lot more time in the top bunk than in the lower one. To ensure that your child has the best night's sleep we suggest choosing a memory foam mattress, that molds to your child's specific shape to provide personalized support and comfort. Pocket sprung mattresses can be a great option, since they can move independently across the mattress to help minimise motion transfer.
Bunk
The bunk bed is very popular for parents who want to maximize their floor space while creating a magical sleeping environment for their children. Much like a mid-sleeper, or high sleeper, this kind of bed is built with its frame raised to a lower elevation than a standard single bed, with the upper part of the bed fitted with a ladder - perfect for smaller rooms.
As with all our beds you can choose from a range of different styles and configurations to choose from. Some models include integrated storage options that are ideal for storing away toys and clothes. Others come with pull-out desks that are ideal for children to study on or use as a workspace for creativity. Some come with curtains and play tents to create an exciting space.
It's important to consider your child's future needs and the age before making a choice. In a few short years, they could want a bed that is double-sized. You might want to consider a convertible couch to maximize the space in their room.
It is also important to consider 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 are more expensive but are long-lasting and durable. Some models also come with hybrid mattresses that blend the comfort of springs and the advantages of foam in relieving pressure.
