College Wooden Loft Bed Questions
How far in advance do I need to order and how long will it take to arrive?
Loft Bed Orders please contact us for current build times. Orders paid by check take a few extra days for the check to clear. Once it is shipped, it will arrive at your destination in 1-10 business days depending on your location, click here for a map of our transit times.
During our peak season (June - September) orders may take a little longer and we recommend you order your loft bed in advance and schedule it to arrive on a specific date or a range of dates. During checkout you will get a box labeled "Enter Custom Specifications", you may enter your date or range of dates of when you want your order to arrive. We will e-mail you to confirm your request.
Should I have it delivered to my home or directly to my college or apartment?
Move in day for most students is a stressful experience for both the student and parents. With many students all moving in at the same time, most moving away from home for the first time, getting everything organized, meeting new friends, parents leaving, etc., it would be very helpful if you can get the loft partially assembled before you arrive. We recommend having it shipped to your home early during the summer. Setting it up at home first will allow you to see how everything fits together and when you get to school setting it back up will be easy. While it's home you may want to paint or customize it to fit your personality. We know this is not always possible, so if you want it delivered directly to your college, you must first notify your college receiving department to let them know it is coming to have them sign for it. Check with your college's receiving department to verify whether they will accept packages before you arrive on campus. UPS Ground doesn't guarantee a specific delivery time and they don't deliver on Saturdays or Sundays. If you are moving in on a weekend we suggest you have it there before you arrive or have it shipped to your home and bring it with you to college.
I am moving in on a Saturday, does UPS deliver on Saturdays?
Yes,. UPS Ground delivers Monday - Saturday.
Can I use your Loft Bed in my college dorm room? Question: My college allows us to have Loft Beds, however we cannot remove any existing furniture from our room, can I use my existing bed on your loft bed frame?
Yes, our loft beds were specifically designed to be used in college dorms. Most college dorm beds can be disassembled and the metal frame and mattress used on our loft bed. For example, with the dorm bed below you can remove the headboard and footboard and place the metal frame and mattress on top of our loft bed slats. We provide four (4) bed slats with our lofts. You can store the headboard and footboard behind the loft against the wall and out of the way. Remember to save all hardware when disassembling the dorm bed as you will need it to reassemble the bed at the end of the school year.
Our college requires 4x4 corner posts, does your loft meet this requirement?
Our corner posts are 2x6's. A 2x6 is wider than a 4x4 and with our notched ladder rung design, it provides better support and stability than a 4x4. Most colleges will accept 2x6 posts as equivalent to 4x4 posts. Check with your college before ordering.
Do you provide Fire Retardant Lofts?
We recommend the use of Fire Retardant Paint. See Fire Retardant Paint for details.
What is the Dorm XXL 84" Length Used For
We created the Dorm XXL 84" Length loft for customers that want to put a futon or full size sofa underneath the loft. It is 4" longer than most lofts on the market and the extra length gives you enough room to place most futons or sofas underneath. The distance between the inside rungs is 84" and the distance between the legs is 76". Click here for more info.
Where can I purchase an 84" length mattress?
You can get foam mattresses cut to size, or use a standard mattress and put a small piece of foam at the head end.
Can I fit a 79" sofa or futon under the loft?
Yes, there are 2 options.
1) Buy the Dorm XXL 84" Length loft which has 84" between the rungs of the ladders, put the sofa where you want it and assemble the loft around it.
2) Buy the Dorm XXL 84" Length loft, assemble the loft, get 2 guys and lift the loft up and over the sofa.

Setup Questions
When it comes to squeezing more functionality out of your living space—whether for a child, student, or adult—a loft bed is an underrated hero. But before you start planning that vertical makeover, here are the practical factors you'll want to keep in mind.
Safety is non-negotiable, especially in a child’s room. Look for sturdy guardrails, secure ladder attachments, and nonslip steps. For younger kids, a lower loft profile adds both accessibility and peace of mind. Check that your chosen bed meets rigorous safety certifications (the Consumer Product Safety Commission is a good resource for North American standards) and can support your needs for the long haul.
Not all ladders are created equal. In a tight dorm or studio, a straight ladder takes up less floor space, making it a smart fit for students and adults. Slanted ladders, on the other hand, are easier to climb and more stable—ideal for kids. Some lofts even feature stairs with built-in storage, which are handy and safer for nightly climbs.
Take a cue from IKEA showroom displays and imagine all the ways you can use the space under the bed:
Decluttering is half the battle in small spaces. Many loft beds offer integrated drawers, cabinets, and shelves—some even in the steps themselves. This is particularly important in a child’s room (think toys and books galore) or a busy apartment where every square inch counts.
Kids' and teens' tastes change as quickly as their shoe sizes, so consider modular or customizable designs. Look for beds that offer options to add or remove desks, bookshelves, or even color panels. Adults and students may prefer a more minimal, streamlined look, but having the choice to tweak your setup down the line is never a bad thing.
Choose the right mattress size for the user—twin for young children, full or larger for teenagers and adults. For grown-ups, double-check the loft height and weight capacity (brands like DHP and Walker Edison offer robust, full-size and queen lofts). Always keep ceiling clearance in mind so nobody bumps their head climbing into bed or sitting underneath.
Loft beds come in all flavors—from playful, brightly colored designs for kids to sophisticated, industrial metal frames for adults. Match the frame and finish to the room’s existing décor for a cohesive look.
If you plan to rearrange your space or move apartments, opt for a design that’s easy to assemble and disassemble. Modular or tool-free systems can save a lot of headaches down the road.
Taking these factors into account will help you transform any room—tiny bedroom, city studio, or busy playroom—into a space that feels bigger, more organized, and tailored to your (or your family’s) lifestyle.
When it comes to loft beds, safety is a top priority for users young and old. Most modern loft beds are designed with key features to keep everyone secure and confident while climbing in and out each day.
Full-Length Guardrails: Secure guardrails line the perimeter of the upper bunk, preventing accidental falls during the night.
Sturdy Ladders and Steps: Ladders typically feature wide, non-slip rungs or steps to provide a firm grip, even for smaller feet or sleepy early-morning descents.
Reinforced Construction: A solid steel, metal, or heavy-duty wood frame ensures stability and minimizes swaying, whether a twin-size or a larger queen-size loft.
Professional Testing: Many highly-rated brands, like Dorel and Walker Edison, have their beds independently tested to ensure they meet or exceed safety guidelines set by organizations such as ASTM International.
Secure Fastening: Well-designed bolt and bracket systems keep each component tightly fastened, reducing the chance of wobbles or shifting over time.
With these features, a loft bed becomes a safe and reliable part of any bedroom—whether it's for a child's sleepover, college dorm life, or making the most of a compact city apartment.
A loft bed with a built-in desk isn't just a clever piece of furniture—it's a practical solution for anyone looking to do more with less space. This design transforms the area beneath your bed into a dedicated workstation, which can be a real game changer for small bedrooms, apartments, or dorms where every square foot matters.
The benefits include:
In short, a loft bed with an integrated desk takes multitasking to the next level and can make even the smallest space feel open and versatile.
One of the best things about loft beds for kids is their clever use of built-in storage. By elevating the bed, you gain valuable real estate underneath—and many loft beds take advantage of this space with features like drawers, shelves, and even compact wardrobes.
This means kids have designated spots for their books, toys, and clothes, right where they need them. Instead of leaving everything scattered across the floor, it’s much easier for children (and parents) to keep the area tidy. Plus, organizing essentials in their own compartments encourages good habits while freeing up play space without sacrificing comfort.
With so many thoughtful storage options, loft beds can help turn even the smallest kids’ room into a neat and welcoming retreat.
When it comes to accessing a loft bed, the age-old choice is between stairs and ladders. Each option offers distinct advantages, especially when it comes to safety and ease of use.
Stairs are often the preferred choice for anyone looking to prioritize safety. With broader steps and sturdy handrails, stairs provide a stable and comfortable way to move up and down—even in the middle of the night. They're especially beneficial for younger children, those prone to midnight wanderings, or adults who want a little extra peace of mind (and less risk of a stubbed toe). Designs from brands like IKEA and South Shore frequently use integrated stairs with built-in storage, further optimizing the space.
On the other hand, ladders are the classic option for loft beds, known for their minimal footprint. Straight ladders fit perfectly in tight rooms or studio apartments, where every inch matters. Slanted ladders add a bit more comfort and security, making climbing easier, especially for kids. While ladders might not offer the same level of grip and stability as stairs, their compactness makes them an excellent fit where space is at a premium.
In short, if safety and effortless access are your top priorities, stairs win out. If saving space is critical, a ladder may be the better option. Of course, you can often choose from both straight and slanted ladder designs to suit your layout and needs, making it easy to find the right fit for your room and your peace of mind.

Spacious Comfort Meets Smart Design
This full-size loft bed with integrated stairs is a standout choice for anyone looking to maximize room without sacrificing comfort or style. The larger sleeping area is perfect for older kids, teens, or adults who appreciate a bit more space to stretch out. The sturdy stair bookcase not only provides a safe and easy way to climb up, but also doubles as extra storage—ideal for books, décor, or essentials.
The stairway’s thoughtful design enhances both safety and accessibility, making this bed a practical solution for all ages. Its clean, unfinished Douglas Fir construction brings a modern, airy feel to any room, while the elevated frame frees up valuable floor space underneath for a desk, lounge area, or storage.
Combining spacious sleep, secure access, and smart use of every inch, this loft bed turns any bedroom into a functional retreat—without compromising on looks or strength.
Most loft beds come with a detachable ladder, giving you the flexibility to position it anywhere along the frame for easy access and the best fit for your space. These ladders are designed to securely fasten to the frame, so they stay put when you’re climbing up or down.
You’ll also find customization options for ladder length. Standard ladders are generally designed for rooms with 9-foot ceilings and will extend about 20 inches from the bed. For rooms with tighter spaces, many suppliers (including respected brands like Walker Edison or DHP) offer shorter ladder versions—often at no extra cost—that extend less, such as 13 inches out. And if you need something even more compact, there’s often a custom option to get a ladder extending only 6 inches from the frame for a small additional fee. Customizing your ladder size ensures you’re making the most of your room, no matter its shape or size.
If you're considering a loft bed for two, safety and practicality are key factors to keep in mind. While loft beds are popular for maximizing space, it's important to ensure they can comfortably support the combined weight of adults.
First, check the bed’s weight capacity. Many models, especially sturdy metal frames like those from DHP or Walker Edison, are designed for adult use and can handle significant weight. Wooden options can also be strong, but always verify the manufacturer’s specifications.
Stability is another big consideration. Look for beds with reinforced frames and extra support beams to minimize wobbling when both people move around. It’s wise to inspect the ladder or staircase as well—ensure it's wide enough and securely attached for safe, everyday use.
Finally, think about ceiling height and headroom. Loft beds don't leave much clearance overhead, so make sure the sleeping area is tall enough for two people to sit up comfortably.
In short, loft beds can absolutely be safe for couples—just be diligent about picking a robust, well-reviewed model built for adult use.
Looking to enhance your loft bed with easy access and smart storage? Add a wooden staircase to your setup for added convenience and safety. This sturdy staircase is built to support up to 500 lbs and features open cubby spaces beneath each step—ideal for shoes, books, or anything else you want within arm’s reach.
For extra peace of mind, a handrail can be included as an accessory during your order, making those midnight trips up and down a little more secure.
Staircase Dimensions:
This customizable staircase option combines practical storage with safe, stylish access to your lofted space.
Adding a mattress to your loft bed order is simple and convenient. When you begin building your bed on our site, you’ll have the option to select a mattress as an accessory during the customization process. Whether you’re looking for memory foam comfort, a supportive innerspring, or another specific material, you’ll find a range of popular third-party brands to choose from—each in a variety of firmness levels to suit your sleep preferences.
If you have particular requirements, such as a preferred firmness or a specialty mattress type, simply note your choice during checkout. Alternatively, if you decide to add a mattress later, you can browse our accessories section and order one separately at any time.
Just follow these steps:
We’re here to help you create the perfect sleep setup from the ground up.
When selecting a mattress for your loft bed, it’s important to stick to a height that keeps your sleep comfortable—without sacrificing headroom or safety. Most standard innerspring or memory foam mattresses between 8 to 12 inches thick work well for loft beds, giving you the right balance of support and ease of climbing in and out.
You won’t need a box spring with this setup; the loft’s sturdy slats or platform do the job. Just be sure the combined height of mattress and frame still leaves plenty of safe clearance above, especially if your ceiling is on the cozier side.
Looking to complete your loft bed setup with a perfect mattress? You can add a custom-made memory foam mattress to your order, tailored specifically for your bed’s size and your own comfort preferences. Options typically include five levels of firmness, so whether you like it extra plush or prefer firmer support, there’s an option to suit your sleep style.
It's easy to include a mattress while designing your bed, or you can purchase one separately to fit any existing frame. By default, most mattresses come in a Medium firmness, but you're welcome to request another level if desired—just let us know your preference when ordering.
Enjoy a restful night’s sleep with a mattress designed just for you and your new loft bed.
One of the great things about loft beds is their simple setup—no box spring is needed. The slatted or solid base is designed to support your mattress directly, whether you choose a classic Sealy, trendy Tuft & Needle, or any standard innerspring or memory foam mattress. For best comfort, look for a mattress between 8 and 12 inches thick. This keeps your bed at a comfortable height while ensuring the top fits snugly with the guardrails, and you still have plenty of room underneath for desks, couches, or secret forts.
