A mid-sleeper bed is a mattress for children that is slightly lower than the high-sleeper. They come with a raised sleeping area, with a space beneath that can be used as storage as well as a desk or a play space.

They're also great for children who prefer sharing a room with a sibling or a friend, since the bed can easily accommodate two mattresses.
