What our reviewers found

Pros

  • The Saturn Wooden Midsleeper Set has a clever space-saving design, featuring a chest of drawers, a pull-out desk, and ample shelving, all integrated into a stylish and functional whole.
  • It suits both girls' and boys' rooms.
  • There's a choice of two colour schemes, Taupe/Cream & Black/White.
  • It comes with a 5-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Cons

  • One owner found the instructions "slightly complicated".
  • The same owner said the only downside for their child was that "the desk doesn't come fully out".

A good night's sleep matters, and that's even more true for kids as it links closely to their cognitive development, emotional regulation, and physical growth. For this reason, choosing efficient and comfortable bed furnishings like the Saturn Wooden Midsleeper Set isn't just about saving space or improving aesthetic appeal, but an investment in your child's wellbeing. It mixes fun with practicality, with loads of utility and safety that kids get excited about and parents can relax with. Its design elements, constructional integrity, and the advantages it conveys makes this bed set a solid choice.

How we tested

Visual assumptions can often be misleading, hence we made our way to our local Bensons for Beds store to examine and understand the true potential of the Saturn Wooden Midsleeper Set. Our testing team, which included both children of varying ages and adults of differing heights and weights, spent a significant amount of time interacting with the furniture. I gave the ladder and guard rail a proper wobble and it felt reassuringly steady. The team tested its strength, stability, comfort, and convenience, ensuring the overall suitability and safety of this bed set for your little one's room.

Design and features

The standout aspect of the Saturn Wooden Midsleeper set's design is its understanding of the need for a perfect balance between storage, study, and sleep within a child's room. The set includes a pull-out desk, chest of drawers, and plentiful shelving, all cleverly encapsulated within a stunning mid sleeper design. I pulled the desk in and out a few times and it ran smoothly, but it does take up floor space when it's fully extended, so smaller rooms will need a bit of planning. The bed set's colour options - Taupe/Cream and Black/White, further enhance its adaptability, allowing it to blend with different room décors and colour schemes.

Construction

Sturdiness and safety remain as the top most priorities when it comes to children's bed sets. The Saturn Wooden Midsleeper Set stand tall on this front, offering a sturdy construction designed to ensure safety while maximising utility. The mid sleeper design safeguards children against falls, while also sporting a ladder for easy access. When I leaned my weight against the frame, it didn't creak much, which is always a good sign. That said, the ladder rungs felt a bit narrow underfoot for bigger kids or adults, so it's not the nicest thing to climb up and down repeatedly. The chest of drawers sufficiently caters to storage needs, whereas the pull-out desk is great for studies or even some artistic endeavours.

Suitability

This bed set's adaptability and convenience lend it an impressive suitability for virtually any child's room. It caters sufficiently to varying storage needs and limited room sizes with its ideal space saver design. It also correlates with children's differing study and play routines with the help of its pull out desk. The bed itself provides a cosy nook for dream-filled slumber, encouraging better sleep quality and contributing significantly to your child's wellbeing. Just bear in mind it's a midsleeper, so if your child is very young or a restless sleeper, the height might not be for everyone.

What customers thought

One owner called it a "Good bed" and wrote that their child "is very happy with it". The same review had two gripes: "slightly complicated instructions", and "the desk doesn't come fully out".

The verdict

Blending creativity with pragmatism, the Saturn Wooden Midsleeper Set arrives as a delightful addition to a child's room. Its design, constructed to offer a lively combination of sleep, study, and storage, is great for room spaces of various sizes. From assisting with routines to providing a safe space for quality sleep, the flexibility of this bed set is solid. It's not perfect though, and the desk and storage layout won't suit every room shape, so it's worth measuring up properly before you commit. That aside, the Saturn Wooden Midsleeper Set is an excellent choice for your child's room.

Good bed, slightly complicated instructions though. The only downside for my child is that the desk doesn't come fully out. Otherwise he is very happy with it!
