About the Anderson Mid Sleeper Bed Frame with Storage and Drawers
Last checked
Families trying to reclaim floor space from toys, clothes and homework kit are the obvious audience for the Anderson Kids Wooden Mid Sleeper, because the frame is not just a raised child’s bed with a ladder. It is a wooden mid sleeper in a white or grey finish, with the sleeping platform lifted above a pull-out desk, storage cube and chest of drawers, so the working, playing and storing zones sit inside one footprint rather than spreading around the room. The ladder can swap sides. That reversible upright ladder is useful in a small bedroom, where a door swing, radiator or wardrobe can decide whether a mid sleeper works at all. A mid sleeper that includes a desk, cube storage and drawer storage is generous compared with a basic children’s cabin bed, but it also makes this a more complex flat-pack build than a simple slatted bedstead; alignment, fixings and the pull-out desk mechanism matter more here than on a plain low frame. This is clearly a child-focused build, and the manufacturer’s age guidance of 6+ is sensible for a raised sleeping surface with daily ladder use.
The reversible ladder and pull-out desk shape how this bed behaves in real bedrooms: positive reviews repeatedly describe it as a strong space-saver once assembled, with children using the area beneath as a den as well as for storage. Space saving is the clear win. The spec supports that feedback, because the desk disappears back under the bed, while the cube and drawers deal with the clutter that often makes a small child’s room feel smaller than it is. The stability picture is less tidy: the manufacturer presents the ladder as secure, but lower-rated reviews describe the whole frame moving when a child uses the steps, parts coming loose, and replacement pieces being needed after poor fit or damage. Damaged, warped, cracked or misdrilled components come up often enough to treat quality control as a real risk rather than an isolated grumble, and the desk or storage cube can be awkward to attach without two capable adults. One detailed account also flags a practical nuisance with deeper mattresses: changing the bottom sheet becomes difficult when the mattress sits tightly inside the raised frame. For small children’s rooms needing storage, desk space and play space in one footprint, this is the right call. For families prioritising heavier-duty stability, simpler assembly and fewer moving parts, look at plainer solid-wood cabin beds or the £700-plus children’s high-sleeper tier instead.

Specifications
Manufacturer specifications without the jargon, easy to scan and compare.
Solid wooden slatted base - offers firm mattress support
A solid wooden slatted base provides excellent stability, ensuring durability and support for the mattress over time. This feature enhances the longevity of the mattress by promoting better air circulation, which prevents moisture buildup and supports a comfortable night's sleep.
Painted wooden finish - classic wood grain enhanced with colour
Painted wood keeps the natural grain visible while adding a coloured look, which suits bedrooms that want warmth without a plain timber finish. Fine, expect paint to show chips and scratches sooner than an untreated surface, so it may need touch-ups if knocked.
Space saving built-in desk - perfect for homework or hobbies
Space saving mid sleeper - with built-in storage and room to play
Custom configuration - can be assembled to suit your room's layout

Lovely solid design and my son adores the added desk feature. Took some time to assemble, but definitely worth it in the end.
The mid sleeper is amazingly sturdy, and solid my daughter absolutely loves her new bed. The shelves and the desk make a great place for storage, and her crafts and homework at the desk. She also uses the space behind the bed for a den.
Positives: the bed frame. The bed is all right, but I had a hard time assembling it. It was two of us. 28 screws just for the slats. Due to the assembly complexity I would not buy this product again. I don't like the desk - how it's assembled and the way it's held together with the bed frame. The cube is still kept in a spare room (after a week) due to the strong odour (fibre board style). One of the slats is cracked so I have asked for a replacement one.
We bought this for our 7 year old daughter and she loves it. Really sturdy and well designed. Very good instructions which made it easy to assemble. Managed it by myself with little help from the mrs. Would recommend for anyone who needs a bit more space in their childs room.
My daughter Absolutely loves this mid sleeper bed. Has lots of storage space and great area for playing. Very comfy and great valve for money.
Easy to assemble, it says 2 people but I managed to assemble it solo in 3 hours. Great build quality, it's very sturdy, my son has already tested it out by jumping on it . Once up there is a hollow underneath that creates a Great den for children only though, adults do bash their heads frequently.
Needed a bed to fit into our sons rather small bedroom. This bed is a great size and the add ons (chest of drawers, desk and storage cubes) make it a great buy. Ideal for maximising space. It went together well and the instructions were easy to follow. I would recommend. (Please note , the pic attached to this review was taken before any of the add on items were built. The pic shows the bed only).
From the moment of order to delivery then assembly this process could not have gone smoother! Then the look of my little mans face when we surprised his with his new mid sleeper was just the best. It is more than just a bed, it's a desk and his fort. It is great value for money as have seen similar for almost double the price.
Fantastic bed. Very easy to assemble. Loads of storage and looks great. My 6 year old is so happy.
I bought this for my son as he has quite a small room and we needed something to utilise the space. It is very sturdy and I like the fact it is real wood (so could be repainted in years to come). He loves the little ‘den underneath. It has great storage and instantly made his room tidier and more smart.
Great bed! Bought it for my son for his 5th birthday and he loves it! Doesnt want to get out of it! Dont believe the 35 minute build time though and if given the option get someone to build it (sadly I wasnt offered this service otherwise I would have!) and dont forget to order the extras as they dont come with it! Mattress and drawers!
I bought this after looking at many other mid sleepers from different companies and so pleased I chose this one from Dreams. My 10year old son is thrilled to bits with it and loves the pull out desk feature. The drawers provide adequate storage for his needs. We chose not to use the shelving cube that came with it and my son likes to use the space underneath the bed behind the drawers as a secret den.
I bought this for my grandson as his bedroom is very small and he needed a desk to do his schoolwork. I was also really pleased that he can fit his keyboard on the desk He loves it
What a great bed, really impressed. Loads of storage just what we needed. Would highly recommend. The bedroom isn't very big and this just fit great giving the extra storage we needed and my boy loves it.
This is amazing in my daughters small double bedroom we struggles with storage for toys etc but this keeps them all hidden but with easy access.
My daughter and i spent a few months looking at different mid sleepers as we were redecorating her bedroom as she had outgrown pink and Frozen! This is just perfect. i love that we were able to go an see it in a showroom rather than just relying on looking at at a picture on the internet. The staff were really helpful and it only took minutes to order the item. It was delivered with 4 weeks direct from the manufacturer and the delivery guys couldn't have been more helpful. I paid extra for assembly which they completed in less than an hour. My daughter (10) loves the bed and the desk. Tonnes of storage, really solid. Looks great.
Ordering process was easy and delivered on time. Assembly was easy but took at bit of time. A solid build!
Bought this for my three and a half year old as well need to convert his toddler bed back to a cot soon for my daughter. He manages the steps absolutely fine, I like that its not too high but he still feels super grown up. Decent bed for the money, the desk pulls out as far as you like so my son likes it part way out so he can crawl through and use under the bed like a den.The shelves on the desk part arent as deep as I imagined so limited on what you can actually store there. I was unsure if the drawers and shelves could be interchanged as saw mixed answers but as you can see from the image they can perfectly. My only negative is that the side panels on our bed are really tough and seem unfinished compared to the rest of the bed. We checked they werent fitted the wrong way. Other than that a lovely bed, just a shame about the quality of those sides or would have definitely been 5 star from us.
Bought this for my 7 year old lads bedroom we done it out in star wars theme he was visiting family down south at the time When he came back his reaction was brilliant and touching Since then my son has had the best sleep he has ever had sleeping all through the night and we have to wake him up which is unheard of Brilliant product and me and my wife found it so easy to put together
I brought this for my 6 year old kid and he just loved it. It is perfect for a small room. Great bed with excellent storage space with a desk. Very well made and very sturdy. Very good value and highly recommended.
