By centering the ladder, the loft bed became more stable. The ladder also serves as a guard rail for the bunk bed – because children’s beds should be safe places, no matter if you are in the middle of play or deep in the world of dreams. That is why our children’s beds undergo rigorous furniture tests. The industry’s safety standards are very strict, but we take it further. When working with TUFFING, we focused especially on avoiding gaps and openings where small hands and feet can easily get stuck. When we had a model of the bed, it underwent two weeks of intense fatigue tests where the bed frame was continuously exposed to strong forces.

A loft bed is perfect when you need to combine several functions on a small surface. This one has passed the same tough safety tests as all our other loft beds. It’s just a little lower – and cheaper.

Pain in the arse to buildAnonymous reviewerThis is, at least, made of metal and actually has Allen key bolts making it superior to so much modern IKEA trash but it is an f-ing pain in the A to build. Total nightmare. Getting the net on right, getting the side poles in... nightmare. I've rebuilt 2 of these bought from ebay and built 2 (including this one) from new. Despite all that experience it almost seems to get harder to build each time. This is not a Billy you can throw up in 5mins.
Good bed though, loads of room under
Very tricky and faffy.Anonymous reviewerThis is a NIGHTMARE to put together. It took myself and my partner nearly 5 hours to put together, and it’s still not finished! The screw holes don’t align on the ladder and the poles that hold the base slats don’t slot in correctly. I feel like the whole thing is really over-engineered, the netting construction is unnecessarily tricky and the instructions could be so much clearer.
I honestly thought I was good at flat pack before this, it was so frustrating I could’ve cried!
One tip would be to construct the bed slats in a big space as the poles are longer than you think, and keep the screws in your pocket as they’re slippery.
I am a big fan of Ikea furniture so I was really disappointed in this, but maybe you get what you pay for- it’s a decent bed for a good price but overall if I had known how hard this would be to put together I would’ve spent more money on an easier build. I agree with a previous reviewer “Ikea need to rethink this one”.
Good bed bad designAnonymous reviewerIf you want to split with your partner this is the bed for you... we cleared the room and got to page 3 amd we was already at each other's throats .... so we grab 3 pillows had sex on them under the half assembled bed and then cracked on to then another 2 pages later I had to have sex again to take away the frustration that this bed causes... if youre in a unhappy relationship its worth purchasing it you like your family life stay well clear
Great loft bedAnonymous reviewerAs one reviewer said "the hardest piece of furniture I've ever assembled"!!
Everything is straightforward but the arrangement with the netting is very hard to get right. It does appear to make it very sturdy and obviously must have massive cost savings because any other type of panel would be easier than this. But... if you take your time and give yourself a good 4 hour window then you should be fine. I managed 95% on my own but had to get my wife to hold the long bar at the back, as you feed over the fabric and then try to screw in 2 screws either side. No way you're managing that on your own. Only other tricky bit was screwing in mattress support section... I managed this by offering up from bottom and screwing in middle screw one side then other side and then zigzagging back and forth from side to side outwards. A little bit jiggling but got all the screws in. Final piece of the jigsaw was tightening all screws on all sections from bottom up, this really brought it together.
A complete fi77a to assemble.Anonymous reviewerThe bed it's self seems strong and sturdy, but building it's is a nightmare. The netting must be the worst idea ever. I've been building flat packs for over 40 years and never have I had so much trouble. It could be vastly improved by replacing the side netting with an extra metal bar and the netting for the mattress to sit on is pointless.
Prepare to be cross!Anonymous reviewerOh my word, This bed!!!. We needed a bed for our granddaughter but it's in a tiny box room, 2.1m x 2.4m. Really small. The instructions left a lot to be desired, just smily characters. I read the reviews so was prepared for the adventure of building this bed. The reason it's such a good price is because when you inevitably divorce over building this, the one that leaves can afford to buy this again to have the kids in their new place!!!! Seriously, it was epic. The holes to thread the mesh through are so tight, its almost impossible and you have to have room to be able to completely tip this on its side, see size of room previously. Be aware you will need a crosshead screwdriver, a large gin and buckets of patience. Once it's up, it looks amazing but the ladder is not flat to the bed, it sticks out into the room. Bear this in mind if you also have a small room. The instructions could have been clearer, not just smily pictures.
Sturdy Bed, But Assembly Is A NightmareAnonymous reviewerIt took us almost 3 hours to assemble this bed for my son! The instructions aren’t very clear, and the fabric that goes round the top doesn’t allow you to get the screws in the right place without having to either cut a hole or take it apart and try again. Once it’s assembled the bed is very sturdy but it’s just a complete nightmare to assemble.
Came with no ladderAnonymous reviewerDisgusted by this got as a Santa gift for child went to build on 2nd January to find no ladder
Tuffin bedAnonymous reviewerThe design and quality of the bed is actually very impressive but trying to fix it together is unbelievably difficult. The base which the mattress goes on to is virtually impossible to line up! We had yo cut the netting which surrounds the top of the bed! It took roughly 3 hours as we tried all ways to do it without cutting the net. Again, really nice bed for kids because the storage space underneath is very useful, But you will struggle to put this together. I think ikea need to rethink this one!
Very Hard BuildAnonymous reviewerThe product itself is fine, and infact really good value for money. However, as a person who’s been building Ikea furniture for 2 decades, this is without a shadow of a doubt the single hardest piece of furniture from their store I’ve ever tried to build. If I had to do it over again, I’d buy a different Ikea loft bed for slightly more money as they are noted as being easier builds.
Don’t know what all the fuss is about!Anonymous reviewerPerhaps the secret is to read the reviews first but we had no trouble building these - one adult one 13yo - only took a couple of hours. Appear to be sturdy & good quality. Hoping the 5 *’s stick after some use!
Great bedAnonymous reviewerI ordered 3 of these beds for 1 room for space saving it was this or argos but I likes the look of this one! I was not sure because of the reviews ( I've put stuff together before wardrobes ect) I'm glad to say it all went super well and I'm not sure what others were doing! If you follow the instructions and do not tighten anything up until it says to then it it should work OK I'm assuming people are tightening everything before it says! I started at 10am and finished at 115 with only help from a 5 and 6 year old to hold the bed while wobbling as not done up but I guess you could prop it up! And I didn't put it on its side for the bed part it can be done! I'm a 43 year old female and 5ft 2!
Go for it you can do it x
Just a triple bunk to take apart then the other 2 to do
Awful product, avoid!Anonymous reviewerIf I could give less I would! It has felt unsafe from the get go and now four months on the side has snapped completely and my daughter can no longer sleep in her bed. The way you attach the panels is ludicrous and I have never felt comfortable with her sleeping in the bed. This is not your expected ikea standard unfortunately.
Very difficult to set upAnonymous reviewerThe bed was so hard to set up as not much thought was given to setting up from customer’s perspective. Might be easy for the person who invented it but customers are not mind readers and need things like this to be simplified. I had to use scissors to cut around the holes made in the net as they were made so tight that you can’t get 2 fingers into them to tighten the screws.
Simply put, buying this bed was a punishment and there is still a part of the guard rail hanging, and unscrewed as I could not pull it close enough to put the screw in.
It doesn’t even deserve a single star. Soooo disappointed and the only reason I did not return it was that I got this one after returning a different bed that was also unfit for purpose (it kept collapsing even when screwed on tight).
My advice to IKEA will be please stop making and selling bed frames - not your strong point at all
Worst Build Ever - I do mean everAnonymous reviewerAs a seasoned Ikeaist, wardrobe builder extraordinaire, bed builder supreme & all round Swedish 🇸🇪 furniture fan, I feel qualified to say this is the worst Ikea product Ive ever built. The whole mesh, knitting needle threading, macrame mattress support thing is staggeringly bad. I want to see the video of the Ikea guys all sat round laughing when it was signed off. My personal favourite it when you have to tip it onto its edge to attach the mattress support section. To give you some idea just how bad it is, I arrived at my daughters at 2pm. By 2.15pm I had disassembled her old double bed. By 2.45 I had disassembled a bed from then next room & reassembled it. Quick coffee & on to the loft bed. Just finished at 6.30pm. Nearly divorced & feeling a little traumatised. In summary I’d give it a miss.
Great product, difficult to assemble Anonymous reviewerThis is a great bed when you have finally built it. It took 3 hours and that was with people very adept at building furniture. The issue was all down to the netting and the way it fits. Very shocked for an IKEA product to be so difficult to assemble. Also purchased the bunk beds which were almost sent back due to the dread of building them and the dreaded netting. Having said all that I am pleased with the quality of the bed and it’s great for saving space.
Excellent Anonymous reviewerMade so much more room in my grandsons room
Not the simplest build.Anonymous reviewerWe bought this bed to help maximise space in our smallest bedroom which unfortunately meant that we struggled for space when putting it together in situ, due to the need to lay the bed down to fit the mattress supports. The side netting was a bit of hassle to get in place aswell with not much play. Also, be sure not to over tighten the two part screw fixing before the build is complete as the two sides can come apart when unscrewing.
This being said, once up the bed looks the part, feels sturdy and does the job all for not a lot of money.
Worst item I’ve ever built from IKEAAnonymous reviewerSo hard to build. The netting and screws don’t line up and fit. I like to think I’m a pro at putting up IKEA items but this took two people, hours of time, lots of physical effort and lots of sweating!!! I’m still not 100% sure it’s safe. There is a more simple way of creating and making this, I don’t know why ikea have over complicated this
GreatAnonymous reviewerReally don’t see why there’s a problem building this, two of us and it was up, instructions easy enough to follow, all was good and sturdy

Story
A bed for new perspectives
Life is pretty good here at the top of the bed. Teasing younger siblings can be kept at a distance, and when mum or dad says good night, the height is just perfect for a hug. Both bunk beds and loft beds are good choices when you want to create more space in a smaller area. With TUFFING, we also managed to make more bed from less material.
We made TUFFING bunk bed and loft bed of stable steel and mesh fabric, and somewhat lower than other bunk beds. It means less use of material and that each bed weighs less to transport.
Kids don’t think about safety, so we do
A place for kids to recharge
Throughout the design process we took part in research results from Dr Barbie Clarke, a child psychologist with many years of experience in research about children and their development. She explains the role of the bed: “When we do global research, the children we interview often say that their bed is their favourite part of the home. It is something they can call their own; ‘This is mine, my space’. Even if they share a lot of other things, the bed is often a private area that helps them work out who they are, rest and recharge.”
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.
