Description
The Kudl Pilot is a cabin bed with desk and bookcase built into one frame. For a single bedroom that has to work as a bedroom and a place to do homework, it does the job of three separate pieces of furniture in roughly the footprint of one.
A cabin bed with desk, bookcase and sleeping platform
The sleeping platform sits low enough to suit a wide age range — there is no ladder and no high-sleeper height to worry about — with the desk and open bookcase built into the frame alongside it. The desk surface is deep enough for a laptop and an A4 pad side by side, and the open shelving takes school folders upright rather than stacked.
Surfaces are finished in a durable wipe-clean material with thickened edging, which is the part that usually fails first on children’s furniture.
Dimensions and mattress size
- Overall: H 80 × W 137 × D 195 cm
- Mattress required: any standard UK single 3ft, W 90 × L 190 cm
At 137 cm wide this is a wider footprint than a plain single, because the desk and bookcase sit within the frame rather than beside it.
Worth knowing before you order
- The mattress is not included. Any UK 3ft single will fit.
- The desk and bookcase are in fixed positions and cannot be swapped to the other side. Check which way round suits your room before ordering — this is the single most common reason this bed goes back.
- Wipe-clean finish with reinforced edging.
- Supplied flat packed for home assembly, with fittings and instructions included.
A Christmas present that earns its place
A new bed is one of the few presents a child uses every single day. The Pilot gives them a bed, a desk for drawing or homework and a shelf for their books in one go, so it is a present that keeps working long after the wrapping paper is gone. Order early in December so there is time for delivery and assembly before the holidays — we confirm your delivery window before the bed leaves the warehouse.

Choosing the mattress
The bed takes a standard UK single mattress, 90 × 190 cm. For children we suggest a mattress with a firm, even feel and a breathable cover, and on any raised or cabin-style bed a shallower mattress (around 15–18 cm) keeps the side rails at a useful height. The kids’ single mattresses shown under this bed are all the right size, and adding one to the basket means bed and mattress arrive together.
Assembly and care
The bed is delivered flat packed with fittings and step-by-step instructions. Allow an afternoon and two adults; building it in the room where it will stand saves carrying a finished frame up the stairs. Wipe the surfaces with a damp cloth and dry them, avoid abrasive or solvent cleaners, and re-check the bolts after the first few weeks, when the frame has settled.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Pilot cabin bed come with a mattress?
No. The frame takes any standard UK single mattress measuring 90 × 190 cm, which you can add from the suggestions on this page.
How much floor space does it need?
The overall footprint is 137 cm wide by 195 cm long, because the desk and bookcase are built into the frame. Allow extra room in front of the desk for a chair.
Can the desk be fitted on the other side?
No. The desk and bookcase sit in fixed positions, so check the layout against your room, window and door before you order.
Is there a ladder?
No. The Pilot has a low sleeping platform with no ladder, which makes it a good first cabin bed for a child who is not ready for a mid or high sleeper.
