In short

A high sleeper is a bed raised high off the floor, with space underneath for a desk, storage or a play area. Mid sleepers and cabin beds are lower versions, often with drawers or cupboards below. Check the maker’s minimum age, the maximum mattress depth for the guardrail, and the ceiling height above.

Definition. A high sleeper is a raised single bed with space underneath for a desk, storage or play area. Mid sleepers are lower versions.

A mattress that is too deep can make the guardrail too low. Use the depth the maker gives.

Keep every rail and fitting in place, and check bolts again after a few weeks.
