Experimenting with materials led to the team replacing the bed's edges with fabric. This meant that they managed to reduce the amount of metal by almost one third compared to similar beds. "We found a strong polyester material that also gives the bed a nice and cozy feel ― both when the children hang out there with friends and when it’s time to sleep."

Ratings and reviews
Nice for child’s roomMingMy child loves this loft bed. It gives them lots of space and is practical with the desk and memo board. The only complaint is that although the description says that the ladder and desk can be put either to the left or right, they cannot be put on the same side together. Also the bed can be a bit squeaky - if you move around a lot and are sensitive to this, this may not be the right bed for you.
Looks great but Horrible Instructions. CassandraThis comes with instructions that only provide pictures and no written instructions. Nothing is labeled either which makes it so hard to build. We had to re arrange poles to make things fit after realizing they were not in the correct spot. I would recommend if you can afford to have someone build it that you pay the extra because this was exhausting. Once it was completed though it looks fantastic and it's HUGE!
5 year old loves itKaeliLove the end result. Getting there was a bit difficult. This bed could come with better labeling on the fabric pieces themselves. Took a few tries to get it right.

AMAZINGKaylaThis bed exceeded my expectations. I bought it for my daughters 9th birthday. It is amazing. it was easy to assemble. Me and my 9 year old worked on it over 5 hours with a couple breaks.
Great bedAlisonEasy to put together and sturdier than I thought it would be. My son loves it.
Everything is good but theShahidEverything is good but the bed makes so much noises when you move in your sleep.
Don’t buy this productJacobHoles don’t align with the screw holes and instruction isn’t that clear enough with what screws and what pieces to use I don’t recommend this product
Super sturdyTakakoIt's very sturdy. 12 years old daughter loves the bed and the desk.
The bed is what we were wantingYvonneMy grandson loves his new bed
Perfect to build forts and play under the bunk!VeroniqueWe bought two of these a month ago for our daughters and everyone loves them. They make perfect hiding spots and great to build forts under the bunk. Our girls use the desk for their keepsakes and to draw or play on/under. We hung some light curtains they can open or close to play or for privacy. I think these will be used for a very long time!

Story
More relaxing, less materials
Where do your children spend most of their waking hours at home? Quite likely the answer is in their bed. Because when life for slightly older children today often revolves around phones, tablets and friends, a lot more space than that “hub” isn’t really needed. With VITVAL loft bed and bunk bed, we wanted to make comfortable and cozy beds for all children who prefer hanging out there. But the goal was also to considerably reduce the amount of materials to save on nature's resources.
Metal is a durable and stable material and really suited VITVAL bed frames. The question was just how much we could reduce the amount of the metal used without decreasing stability and safety. Product developer Anna Carme and her colleagues performed detailed calculations and safety tests. "We came a long way", says Anna. "But it was not enough ― we thought the bed frames were still too heavy."
30% less metal
Easy to assemble
"The fabric is mounted on the frame", explains Anna. "And to ensure that the assembly is simple for all parents, we invited a number of people to test it out." The tests then led to the team dividing the fabric into sections and making the yellow edge bands more flexible so that they are easier to pull on. "I love playing detective, to look for and investigate what we have for different alternatives", says Anna. "Nothing beats the feeling when you finally find a good solution."
Material
What is steel?
Steel has unique characteristics when it is stretched and shaped since it remains strong. It provides strength to everything from skyscrapers and cars to bed frames and outdoor furniture. The steel industry is moving in the direction of more energy-efficient production and stronger steel qualities. It doesn’t lose any of its properties when recycled and today steel is one of the most recycled materials in the world.
Form design process
More relaxing, less materials
The idea with VITVAL loft bed and bunk bed was to make comfortable and cozy beds for all children who like hanging out with their phones, tablets and friends. But we also wanted to save on nature’s resources and limit the amount of metal in the beds. So how do you achieve two so different goals at the same time? Our solution was to make the bed edges out of a strong polyester fabric that gave the bed a nice and cozy feel ― and we thereby reduced the metal by 30% in each bed.
