A loft bed is an elevated bed allowing you to use the space underneath for items such as a desk, shelves, futon, dresser or computer gaming center. They are great bedroom space savers and best of all kids of all ages love them & college students absolutely need them. For children in small bedrooms or multiple kids sharing a room, loft beds provide more bedroom space and everyone gets to sleep on top.

Loft beds with a desk make a great Computer Gaming Center

Studies have shown that children with their own desk and reading area are more organized, develop better study habits and are better students throughout school.

A kitchen table is for eating; your child's desk is for reading, studying & homework.

Our short desk goes the width of the bed and is perfect for reading and doing

homework. Our long desk goes the full length of the bed, gives you nearly twice

the storage area and also makes a great arts & crafts table for that active child or a large computer gaming center. The desks are 30" from the floor and 20" deep.

Loft beds make a nice gift for youth, teen & college students

Our simple yet sturdy design makes our beds popular with kids, youth, tween, teen, college students and adults. We custom build each bed to your exact specifications so our beds can use any size home or dorm mattress of any thickness and any ceiling height. All beds are heavy duty with 1000 lbs. weight capacity and have a lifetime warranty. Beds are made from solid Spruce from the Pacific Northwest. With our unique tongue & groove construction and wider 2x6 legs it gives our beds superior support and stability and doesn't require large corner bracing which allows for the maximum unrestricted open space underneath.

Beds are unfinished, hand sanded and ready for paint

or stain and are Custom Built to your specifications.

"You just don't realize how much space you gain until you get one".

Frequently Asked Questions

How much headroom is above & underneath? We custom build each bed to your exact specifications, so it depends on your ceiling height and mattress thickness. For example, the loft bed shown on the right with the student sitting at the desk has a 6" mattress, 58" headroom underneath and 30" above when using an 8' ceiling. The student is 5' 9" tall and has about 6" of space from the top of his head to the bed slats. For more information see our Loft Bed Height Calculator.

What is the difference between the College and the Home Loft Bed? They are the exact same bed with the difference being in the number of safety rails.

The College Loft Bed has one safety rail on the front (long) side and you can optionally add more safety rails. The college loft bed is for a college dorm room use only.

The Home Loft Bed has multiple sets of safety rails

(depending on the thickness of the mattress) on all four

Recent Customer Reviews & Testimonials

Thanks again for such a great product! We had so much fun 're-doing' our daughter's room for her Birthday. This is our second bed from your company, and again we are very happy with your service, quality and construction! Mary.

Wow!! You guys rock! Just got my first loft bed at age 24! haha. But hey, I'm in NYC, have to capitalize on the very small space I am given right now. Nicole.

Hi! I just wanted to let you know how much we love our bunk bed. We made it into a Doctor Who themed bed. Thank you for a wonderful bed. My daughters both love it, and it is so wonderfully sturdy I have no worries about climbing into the top bunk with my daughter and snuggling up for a story there. Thanks, Deborah.

We assembled the bed Christmas Eve (2 am finish) and had a huge surprise for our 6 year old on Christmas morning. He was thrilled and has thanked us for it at least a dozen times. We are also very pleased with the product and are very satisfied with the ease of installation as well as the sturdiness. We have decided you all are geniuses. Thanks, Stacy.

We just had to let you know how happy we are with the loft bed we received just yesterday and the fantastic service from your company. Every step of the process from the ordering, tracking, delivery, packaging, instructions and installation was spot on. Haven't had this type of service in a long time. You are a class act company! Thank you. Lynne.

My husband and I put it together this weekend and were pleasantly surprised that we didn't need marriage counseling at the end. Great product; thanks! Kathy.

We recently installed 108 of your Bunkhouse Bunk Beds into our Holiday Inn Resort that caters to families and college students. With all the college students here during spring break, we needed bunk beds that are heavy duty, sturdy and safe, and yours met all of our specifications and held up very well. Thanks. Rick.

We love your All-In-One Sleep & Study Loft Bed. It is much more reasonable than the $2,000 loft bed from PB Teen. Thanks Amy.

Was so glad to find American-made, quality products. Nothing in the big-name stores can compare. Thanks for doing what you do! Jill.

Just wanted to send you a great big thank you for the speedy shipment & wonderful bed! My daughter absolutely loves it and all the storage below! The assembly was a lot easier than I thought it would be, so that was a bonus! So glad I found you on the internet! A very happy and beyond satisfied family. Wendy.

Second generation customer. I used your loft bed in college and just bought one for my 6 year old. Love that we can all climb in and read to her. Totally sturdy. Love it.

Last summer you custom made queen bunk beds for our boys. We have 3 exceptionally tall teenage boys (6'5", 6'6" and 6'7"). I asked you to provide the most head room for both of the boys who would be using the bunk bed. My husband was concerned that the bunk would seem like a monstrosity in the room. It has worked out beautifully. It functions well and it looks great. Thank you so much for your help.

Thank you so much for sending the loft so quickly. Ordered it Friday and it was delivered on Wednesday. We put it together using both the instructions as well as the video. Love the video! He loved the loft and I love how sturdy and safe it is.
Thank you again for amazing service and product. Regards, Catharina.

I want to personally thank you for one of the best experiences I've had buying online. The communication has been top notch, the shipping and order processing as fast as it could be. Four days to receive a loft bed... That's pretty darn good. Everyone affiliated with College Loft Beds should be proud to run such a wonderful company. You have fully exceeded my expectations. I would definitely buy from you again, and I will definitely recommend you to my friends and family. Thanks. James.

Your loft bed is totally sturdy! Over-engineered as my husband says, but given our rough and tumble girl, I think its great, and we can all pile on her bed for stories too! Thanks.

I ordered a loft from you guys last year for my son. My daughter cried all Christmas morning that Santa did not bring her one so I can't disappoint her this year.

I have to say that I am very impressed with your website and especially your height calculator. We have slanted ceilings and were able to calculate how much headroom we would get using various heights across different parts of the room. Very helpful and unique approach and the loft fit perfectly. Thanks.

I just wanted to let you all know that your beds are everything my daughters wanted! They each have their own 'space' now and since, fight MUCH less! It is so wonderful to have peace in our house again and I do believe we owe this to your beds. They are extremely well crafted and my girls absolutely love having the bookshelves as their headboard, thanks! ...Lori

I just wanted to take a minute and thank you for both the great product and the prompt customer service! As a single mom I don't often have a second person to assist me in putting things together. While there were a couple of times I wished for a second pair of hands to hold something in place, I was able to easily put the entire bed together without a second person and it looks great! Thanks again for a customer friendly product!

We recently purchased a bed for our son who is going to be a college freshman in the fall. He is going to school locally, so we figured we would redo his bedroom to give it the feeling of a dorm. I have to say that I am far more impressed with the bed than I expected to be. It's amazingly sturdy and was not that difficult to assemble. His room is not large, so the bed has afforded him the opportunity to free up floor space for some seating. I have already recommended the website to a few people. Great product-thanks!

Your loft is perfect for my son at college. There are many reasons why we bought it from you, but the top 3 are: you customized to exactly what we needed, you shipped it fast and it was the best price on the internet. PS. It is also as sturdy as a rock. My son loves it. Thanks.

Very detailed order form and FAQs. I feel well-informed and confident that I made a good decision. The quality of information on the site was one of the major deciding factors in selecting your product over those of competitors.

I am very pleased with your customer service and products. Since I was making a large internet purchase, I did extensive research on multiple companies. I took your advice of reviewing the BBB reports of the other companies and was shocked at what I found. Thanks for a great product and my kids love them.

Your website is by far the easiest and most informative that I have seen. I was concerned about purchasing a loft due to our low ceilings. I love the fact that you customized it to fit our specifications and it looks great! Thanks.

Wonderful, exactly what I needed to make my New York City closet-sized room into a more spacious and livable space.

I did an extensive comparison between you and IKEA, and yours is higher quality and much much studier than the IKEA loft, and the mattress fit perfectly!

Please Note: A standard twin mattress is 39" x 75" and most colleges use an extra long XL mattress which is 80". The IKEA loft beds are designed for European mattress sizes which are a little smaller than US sizes.

It's hard to believe that my daughter's room is only 10 x 11! With the loft, it feels huge!...Thanks, Rachel

The web site is very complete. The openness of the information (e.g., how to put a loft bed together, what one looks like when broken down to transport, the loft leg height calculator, safety guidelines, all the dimensions, pictures, even what paint to buy) helped convince me that this was the right company to buy from. The person who talked with me by phone was extremely helpful and professional. Moving to college is already stressful; thanks for making it easier.

It was a fun family project to set up, paint and decorate together. My kids love it and their friends love to come over and play underneath 'The Fort'. ...Joann
