Guest User
Are loft beds comfortable?
Yes, loft beds can be surprisingly comfortable. Despite their compact design, loft beds offer versatility, space-saving benefits, and customizable mattress options, ensuring a cozy and restful sleep experience even in small spaces.
For many years, standard beds have been the foundation for most homeowners, but with modern styles and high-quality beds in the market, there are more options available to us today. From style, size, material to finish, there is a plethora of choices to narrow down. For instance, solid wood loft beds that can hold a twin mattress to a full mattress- understanding which one is right for you can be confusing.
Our team comes across many homeowners who make the mistake of buying a loft bed that doesn't fit into their lifestyle or requirements. The best approach would be to opt for a custom-made loft bed. However, the quest for the perfect loft bed doesn't end here, everything makes a difference, be it the material used in its construction or the mattress that goes along with it, and not to forget the size of the bedroom.
Whether moving into a new place or planning to redesign your bedroom space, the loft will definitely add function and usable space to a bedroom. Perfect when you don't have a lot of square footage to play around, or when your kids are sharing the room. Here are a few of the compelling reasons to invest in one:
These come in many styles, making them a perfect fit for kids and adults alike.
With customization, it is easy to find something that will meet your needs and preferences.
A great solution if you need space underneath for storage or an in-built desk.
With all the benefits, loft beds maybe the bedroom furniture you need!
However, to reap all the benefits, one of the successful integration is when you have a plan built around the square footage to make it feel like a true living space. Fret not! At Maine Bunk Beds, we will help you rest better! Below are 5 factors that will help you make an informed choice:
What size of loft bed would you choose?
Measure the dimensions where your bed will go. It also comes handy to check for the windows and doorways, so that it fits perfectly. Most foundations on the market today follow standard measurements with no scope of customization. However, to relax properly you need enough space around your loft bed for free-flow movement. For instance, if you have limited space a full loft is not an option.
The common bed styles are as follows:
A twin loft bed when you require a sleeping space for just one person. It will not take much space in your room and at the same time will leave enough space underneath for additional features.
A full loft bed is a good and practical choice for bigger bedrooms. Whether it is for your kids or adults, anyone would want a comfortable space with enough resting space.
A custom loft with a twin or full loft plus a camp bed underneath gives you the capacity of two beds with the amount of floor space covered by one. More like a bunk bed but it fulfils the purpose of space-saving and versatility.
What would you like your bed to be made of?
Construction material is to bed, as the foundation is to a building. Apart from the visual appeal, bed frame material offers a much broader spectrum of choice. By far the most popular and preferred material used to construct heavy-duty loft beds is solid wood. But why?
Solid wood is ideally suited for comfort and good health, this high quality, and durable wood gives an aesthetic look to your room and enhances its beauty. Our loft beds are made from American Poplar, one of the best hardwoods that provides structural strength that supports the weight of adults and kids alike.
Apart from the material, it is important to consider:
If the wood used is certified.
If the production fosters a safe and healthy living environment.
If the loft beds are finished with Greenguard certified paints and lacquers.
Note that: It is important to observe the superficial layers that will tell you everything about the standard of craftsmanship and the brand's contribution to the healthy living environment.
Who is going to use the bed?
With so many wonderful options and customizations, loft beds can serve more than just the purpose of sleeping quarters. For some, the requirement might be of extra storage, a workspace, or a shared room. Some lofts can even double up as play spaces, so it is important to narrow down your needs and opt for a loft bed that will be able to adjust as well.
No matter the age, loft beds are elevated that require the user to climb the ladder to access the top. This means that you will need to pay some extra attention to the safety of your kids to remain comfortable. Also consider, if they will need larger steps in the form of a staircase or they can safely climb with a traditional ladder.
Another important thing that is most often overlooked by many is the height of the bed. The sleeping height is decisive for both your safety and your comfort. For instance, even if you opt for an extra-long twin loft, our oversize rails and square corner posts will allow you to sleep without any effort.
Do you need extended storage and other special features?
For small rooms, space maximization is the key! While there are plenty of options, you might be better off custom making one with inbuilt storage. You can simply incorporate a dresser or drawers into the loft bed design for the under-bed storage, or simply incorporate stairs with a drawer. Such designs will keep your bedroom clutter-free, you can simply tuck away your seldom-used items and make more space in your bedroom.
Best of all, your child will be able to access their top loft via a coll set of stairs that also doubles as an added storage with a desk underneath. You can always add a second mattress beneath, but the open space really makes a great fort or a reading nook tucked under their beds!
