Our Top 10 High Sleeper Beds

High sleeper beds, also known as loft beds, are raised beds that typically have a desk, storage, or play area underneath. They're a popular option for children and teenagers who want to maximise the space in their bedrooms.

Not only are they show stopping beds that take pride of place in your child’s bedroom but one of the main benefits of a  high sleeper bed is that they allow you to utilise vertical space in the room, which can be especially useful in smaller bedrooms. By having the bed elevated off the ground it frees up floor space that can be used for other purposes.

Having seen our top 10 kids high sleeper beds, you can see there are lots of things to consider when buying a high sleeper bed. It's important to look at several factors to ensure that you have the right high sleeper bed for your child’s needs. Here are some of the main considerations and these can be seen in our top 10 high sleeper beds:

Safety: Safety is critical when choosing a high sleeper bed. Make sure the bed has a sturdy frame, guard rails and a stable ladder to ensure your child or teenager can safely climb up and down the ladder to bed. Also consider the weight capacity of the bed to make sure it can safely support the weight of the person who will be sleeping in it. All our beds at Room to Grow comply with British and European safety testing standards and are typically tested to 80 kilos. High sleeper beds are recommended for children age 6+.

Size: High Sleeper beds come in a range of sizes. Some have extra shelving around the bed. Or a sofa bed that pulls out into the bedroom. So, make sure you find the right one that fits the space available. Measure the height of your ceiling to ensure that the bed will fit and there is enough space for your child to sit up in bed.

Material: A range of materials can be used for a high sleeper, wood, metal or MDF. Consider which material will work best for your needs in terms of durability, aesthetics, and maintenance.

Features: Some high sleeper beds come with built in features such as a desk, storage units or play areas. Think about what features you need in a high sleeper bed and choose a model that offers those features.

Price: High sleeper beds can vary greatly in price, so determine your budget before you start shopping. Keep in mind that you may also need to purchase additional accessories such as a mattress and bedding which can add to the overall cost.

Overall, kids high sleepers can be a great choice for anyone looking to maximise space in a bedroom while also providing a fun and functional sleeping area. A high sleeper bed can last from the starting recommended age of 6 right through to teenage years. Definitely a worthwhile investment!
