Loft beds & bunk beds

Loft bunk beds make smart use of space

When you need to sleep two or more people separately in the same room, our sturdy bunk beds make an excellent choice. With space for one twin mattress in the lower bunk and another in the upper twin loft bunk bed, your kiddos will have more room to read, play and relax in their waking hours. Some styles even feature a pull-out bed beneath to sleep a third person, perfect for sleepovers or even pets!

A loft bunk bed helps keep your sleep space a sanctuary

Our traditional loft beds are a great choice for any small apartment, but can be especially useful for maintaining the privacy (and cleanliness) of your sleep space in a studio apartment.

Anyone who has navigated living in a studio apartment is all too aware of the many pros and cons. Given the tight quarters, it’s not uncommon for guests to sit down or throw their things on the bed. While this won’t bother everyone, it’s understandable that not everyone wants their bed treated as a sofa.

Thanks to its elevated design, a loft bunk bed gives you that needed space underneath, perfect for storage, a desk or even an armchair dedicate to seating! Your guests will still feel welcome and relaxed, and you won’t have to worry that someone is going to spill their drink on your freshly washed sheets.

Loft beds free up space by placing the sleeping area on the upper level. The open area underneath can be used in many ways, for example:

• Creating a relaxation area with a sofa and bookcase
• Adding a desk for studying or workingIncluding extra storage
• Creating a play area in a child’s room
• With bunk beds, the two sleeping areas are stacked, allowing two beds in a space where normally only one would fit. They are an excellent solution for shared sibling bedrooms.
