10 Undisputed Reasons People Hate Mid Loft Bed
Mid Loft Bed With Desk
A mid loft bed provides additional space for sleeping as well as study and play, but it's not as high as bunk beds. These solid wood beds have capacities of 1,000 pounds. They also have handrails and angled ladders 10" above the bed.
Pick from slats or panels, or curved bed ends and choose casegoods that match based on your needs.
Storage
A lofted mattress can offer plenty of storage space. Some beds are set over a desk with plenty of room for a monitor for a computer or television screen, along with chairs and workspaces to draw, write typing, and other work-related or school-related activities.
Many of our lofts also have stairs or a ladder to get into the sleeping space. This is a great solution for children who are young, or rooms with lower ceilings. It is enjoyable for kids to climb up a staircase to their lofted bed. There are a variety of styles and sizes of stairs and ladders to fit your room and your child's bedroom decor.
One popular option for sleep, study and storage is our Kivik Sand full loft bed with drawers and desk. The top platform is large enough for a full size mattress, and the lower end features 4 drawers with spacious shelves that can be accessed by lifting the top bunk or by removing the ladder. The drawers are dovetailed and include solid oak sides, bottoms and metal ball bearing drawer glides. If you require additional sleeping space an upholstered platform or captain's beds can be added to the set.
Another loft storage solution is our McQwinn White Junior Loft Bed with Desk and Storage. The twin size comes with three drawers of storage and a small student desk tucked underneath the bed, all made of solid birch in natural finish (also available in Chestnut). This bunk bed with a mid-height is perfect for younger children or bedrooms with lower ceilings. The loft extender legs are easily removed later to convert the loft bed into a full-size double or twin-over-full bunk bed.
Try the Esport Gaming Series metal twin loft bed with computer desk for a modern and sleek appearance. The loft bed is designed to fit only one child, but can be easily converted into bunk beds by adding the optional guardrails and stairs. Its clean lines and simple silhouette are sure to compliment any bedroom theme and its sturdy construction ensures it will endure the test of time.
Reading Nook
The space underneath the loft bed can be transformed into a cozy reading space. Include a comfy chair, a reading light, and a bookshelf of baskets of books to create the perfect atmosphere to read an e-book. Reading nooks that are lofted are great for those who live in a studio or a small space, or have a limited area for flooring.
A custom mid loft bed allows you to create an enclosed space under the bed that can be used as an office, reading nook or fort. This area can be painted or stained to fit the style of the bedroom. The frame comes with windows and doors for easy access. This can be constructed in Twin or Full Queen size loft beds. We have a number of different designs to choose from such as a Pirate Fort, Camp or just plain. Contact us for more information on this design.
If your child is a serious reader and loves to read, a loft bed with built-in shelves is the best option. Create a cozy space to read by putting chairs that they can sit in. Include a small table to hold books and magazines or a laptop computer to study and they will have a great place to stay engaged with their most loved books.
The nook can be outfitted with adjustable task lighting for optimal reading conditions. This will help reduce eyestrain during long periods of reading. A softer ambient lighting will create a tranquil environment, perfect for relaxing at the end of the day with a good book.
A mid loft is the ideal option for a reading corner in a child's room because it's not as high as a bunk or full size loft bed. Children are less likely to be scared by the height of this type of loft, and will love having their own space to enjoy reading or working. The mid loft bed is even more enjoyable when you add the slide!
Study Area
Loft beds with desks are popular for college students living in cramped apartments and dorms. They are also being used by youth, kids and teens to create their own rooms at home because they can be used to free up space for both an area for sleeping and a study space. Research shows that children who have their own study areas and desks are more organized and develop better study habits. They also do better in school.
The mid loft bed is the perfect choice for this since the sleeping space can be elevated and the workstation or desk could be placed beneath. Many of our loft beds come with a desk, whiteboard or corkboard, and five 10" deep shelves. These shelves are perfect for storage and study. We offer a wide selection of footboard accessories, such as a Desk or Bookcase, and more. These can be added to the bed for more storage and study space.
A mid loft bed comes with another benefit that it can be transformed into a twin or a full-size conventional bed later by taking down the ladder, slide and guardrails. This is a great choice for shared bedrooms in which each child can have their own bedroom and still have enough room to play and engage in other things.
The addition of a slide or top tent to a luxurious mid-loft bed can make it more exciting for kids who want more excitement. The tent is great for sleepovers and the slide is an excellent option to get down from the loft bed when it's time to go to bed. The mid loft bed is also the ideal height for a play area because it's not as high as the high loft bed and is more manageable for younger kids.
Fun!
If your kids are young enough loft beds can be an enjoyable project for them to tackle together. As long as there's plenty of space between the sleeping space and the ceiling (around 2ft) your children can stain or paint their mid-loft bed in any color they like. It's an excellent way to express their individuality and style, and also to personalize their bedroom.
A mid loft bed is great to create a space for work that can accommodate a desk and a chair or sofa underneath. Alternately, you can transform it into a comfortable reading space with a comfortable armchair and bookshelf. You can also add an reading lamp or reading light to create a cozy space to lose yourself in your book.
mid bunk bed can still use the mid-loft bed for storage, even if you do not wish to add a study area or desk. You can also double the floor space with the loft bed to house an accompanying set of shelves or dressers. These loft beds are ideal for children who have outgrown their Barbie and Fire Truck themed bedrooms and are now tweens or teens.
Include a ladder in your child's loft bed to allow them to climb to the top. This is especially crucial for children with low ceilings. With a ladder rung designed to allow for a comfortable climb and a deep drawer beneath each step, they're a handy place to keep toys and games.
