Kudl Storage Mid Sleeper with Cupboard and Shelves – Single 3ft, Oak

Description

The Kudl Storage Mid Sleeper in oak effect is a gentle first step up from a standard bed. At just 93 cm overall, it lifts the mattress high enough to fit a full run of storage underneath, without the climb of a taller mid or high sleeper. It is a good fit for children who are ready for something more exciting than a flat bed but not yet ready for a ladder.

The footprint is barely bigger than an ordinary single bed, so it slots into the same space while adding a cupboard and shelving that would otherwise need their own wall. The oak-effect finish keeps the room feeling warm and natural, and it sits easily with white furniture or soft painted walls.

Storage built in

• Two-door cupboard for bulky toys, spare bedding or clothes you want hidden away.
• Open shelving with a long top shelf (about 78.7 cm wide, 22.3 cm high) and two lower compartments (about 39.4 cm wide, 22.2 cm high each), ideal for books, storage boxes and favourite toys.
• Built-in step at the foot end so children can climb in and out without a separate ladder.
• High sides around the mattress for a secure, cosy sleep.

Who it suits

Because it is lower than most mid sleepers, this bed is easy to make and easy to sit on to read a story at bedtime. It works under sloping ceilings, in box rooms and in shared rooms where a taller bed would block the light. It is sized for ages six and up and will last into the teenage years.

Mattress

The bed takes a standard UK single mattress, 90 x 190 cm, sold separately. Choose a children’s mattress of moderate depth so the sides stay comfortably above the sleeping surface. Matching single mattresses are suggested below this listing.

Specification

Safety at height

Raised beds are designed for children aged six and over, in line with the guidance that accompanies EN 747 for upper sleeping surfaces. Use a mattress that leaves the guard rail standing well above the sleeping surface, check the fixings every few months, and keep the ladder clear of toys at night. Younger siblings should not play on the upper level.

Assembly and care

Every Kudl bed arrives flat packed with labelled parts, fittings and step-by-step instructions. Two adults make assembly easier, and it is best to build the bed in the room where it will stay, because the finished frame is large. Re-tighten the fittings after the first few weeks and then every few months. Wipe the oak-effect surfaces with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry them straight away; avoid abrasive pads, bleach and solvent cleaners, which can mark the finish. Keep the bed a little way from radiators so the panels are not exposed to direct heat.

Delivery

Delivery is free to mainland England and mainland Wales, including Anglesey. We are unable to deliver to Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Wight or the Isles of Scilly. The bed arrives flat packed in several boxes, and we will contact you to confirm your delivery window before it leaves the warehouse. If it is planned as a Christmas present, ordering early leaves time to build it before the big day.
