If you're in need of a bed that combines space-saving practicality with uncompromising strength, the Harpley Mid Sleeper Bed is a standout solution.

Built using our Reinforced Beds Signature Specifications, the Harpley features a thick steel structure and a robust tubular sleeping platform that ensures even weight distribution and exceptional durability. Unlike standard mid sleepers, this bed is crafted to support heavier loads, making it suitable not just for children but also for teenagers or adults seeking a sturdy loft-style solution.
One of its most appealing features is the generous 73.5cm underbed clearance, providing ample space beneath for shelving units, a desk, or even a cosy chill-out zone. The bed’s clean, angular frame is available in neutral finishes, making it easy to match with modern or minimalist room designs.
Whether you're optimising a small bedroom or saving space in a guest room, the Harpley delivers high performance in a compact footprint. It's a bed that doesn't just save space—it maximises strength and usability in every square inch.
