Safety Rails & Pillow Stop


Safety Rails

Youth Safety Rails meet the Consumer Products Safety Commission Loft & Bunk Bed Guidelines and are required for all beds used by children under 13 years old. Each Safety Rail Set includes safety rails on all four sides with a small opening to enter the bed. The number of safety rails sets needed are: (2) sets for mattresses up to 8" thick and (3) sets for mattresses 9" - 16" thick.

The Safety Rails are also used as a Pillow Stop to prevent pillows from falling off.

Safety Rail Height Above Mattress: The top of the Safety Rails are positioned 5" above the top of the mattress which follows the Consumer Products Safety Commission guidelines. If you have young children and would like the safety rails to be higher we also offer additional safety rail sets to go 10", 15" or 20" above the top of the mattress. You will also need to select the Taller Legs to be able to add additional sets of safety rails.

Custom Loft Bed

Adult Safety Rails are designed for college students and adults only. They must not be used by children under 13 years old. One safety rail is placed 5" above the top of the mattress on the front (long side) and if the back (long side) is not pushed up against a wall an optional second safety rail may be ordered for the back.

Pillow Stop: If you purchase the Adult Use Safety Rails there is no Pillow Stop at the headboard end of the bed to prevent your pillow from falling out. You can optionally add a Pillow Stop to your order.

Headboards & Footboards & Shelving Above the Mattress


Headboards and Footboards may be installed at either end. The optional shelves are 5-1/2" deep, they overhang the mattress by 3" and do not interfere with the placement of the pillow or the person sleeping. The shelves are perfect for storing items such as a cell phone, iPod, iPad, glasses, alarm clock, books or a reading light. The Slatted Headboards have 1/2" gap between the slats allowing you to pass your charger cord between the slats to be used as a nighttime charging station.

Shown here is a loft bed with the Solid Headboard and Solid Footboard. If you order both a Headboard and Footboard you will need to order either a Angled Front Ladder or Vertical Front Ladder.

Please contact us if you need a custom headboard or footboard built.

Please note the Solid Headboard / Footboard is not available for the king size as it it too large to ship with FedEx.

Top Shelf is placed at the top of the Headboard or Footboard Legs.

This photo shows the Top Shelf with the Slatted Headboard.

 

Single & Double Shelf Headboards may be used just by themselves or may be combined with the other headboards below. They have a backboard to prevent items from falling out the back. By themselves they do not serve as a Pillow Stop. The Pillow Stop comes with the other headboards below or when selecting the Safety Rails. View the Single & Double Bookshelf Headboard Specs.

 

Slatted Headboards have 1/2" gap between the slats and also serves as a Pillow Stop. The second photo shows it combined with the Double Shelf.

 

Solid Headboards also serve as a Pillow Stop. The second photo shows the Solid Headboard combined with the Double Shelf. The Single Shelf may be installed either in the upper or lower position.

The total number of shelves you can use depends on the height of the bed, desk selected and whether you are going to climb up the built-in end ladder or use the Front or Angled Ladder.

Backboards for Shelves

Backboards may be added to the Shelves to prevent items from sliding out the back. They are 2-3/4" high. Shelves without backboards allows you to easily access the shelves from both underneath and from outside the bed, as well as providing for more natural light underneath.

Ladders


All ladders are 18" wide (15" inside) and follow the Consumer Products Safety Commission guidelines for safety and stability. The built-in vertical end ladder for our loft bed (see first picture below) goes the full width of the bed and the opening may be either on the left or right.

Vertical End Ladder Vertical End Ladder

 

Vertical End Ladder: Left photo. Vertical End Ladders are built-in at each end of the loft bed and provides you access to climb up the end and gives the bed rigidity and support. You need about 2 feet of space at the end of the bed to be able to climb up. You decide during assembly where to place the ladder opening, it may be at either side of either end.

Vertical Front Ladder: Right photo. If you do not have enough space at the end to climb up you can use the optional Vertical Front (long side) Ladder to climb up the front. This may be installed at either end.

The thickness of the top edge of the Vertical Ladder rungs are 1-1/2". We are often asked about making the top edge 3-1/2" wide, sorry we don't do that. When climbing up a Vertical Ladder you grab the rungs and pull yourself up. If the rungs were 3-1/2” wide on top it would be difficult to grab and you will still have your foot arch on the edge. If you want to have a wider step you need to select one of our Angled Ladders.

Weight Capacity: 300 lbs.

Vertical End Ladder Vertical End Ladder

 

Angled End Ladder: (left photo) & Angled Front Ladder: (right photo). We also have Angled Ladders which may be attached to the (short) End or the Front (long side) of the bed. They can be assembled either at the left or right ends of the bed. The angled ladder 2x4 rungs are positioned flat giving you a larger surface area for climbing up and it is much easier on your feet climbing up as compared to the vertical ladder. The Angled Ladder comes pre-assembled and is ready to be attached, is 18" wide and extends out roughly 18" at the bottom. The weight capacity of the standard angled ladder is 200 lbs. and the steps are 3-1/2" wide.

HD-Heavy Duty Ladders: The weight capacity of the HD-Heavy Duty ladder is 300 lbs. and the steps are 5-1/2" wide.

Angled Ladder Handrails: We also have Handrails for our Angled Ladders. They attach to both sides of the Angled Ladder and it makes it much easier for children climbing up and down. They are not available for the Vertical Ladders.

Ladder Hooks: We have Ladder Hooks available if you need the angled ladder to be easily removable. They are not available for the Vertical Ladders. Please note that the Consumer Products Safety Commission Bunk Bed Guidelines are that ladders need to be screwed to the bed. Hooks are not allowed. If this is going to be used by kids or in a Airbnb/Vrbo/STR or any commercial rental situation, the ladder needs to be screwed to the bed.

Mattress Foundation Bed Slats

Custom Loft Bed

The Mattress Foundation Bed Slats are a set of 1-1/2" thick bed slats that will fill the mattress area with a 3" gap between the slats. All beds automatically include this option in the base price. Please note, you do not need to supply a box spring, bunkie board or plywood with our beds, you can place the mattress directly on top of our bed slats.

Mattress Solid Platform Bunkie Board

 

Custom Loft Bed

All beds include Bed Slats (with a 3” gap between them) to support the mattress. We also have a Solid Platform Bunkie Board available that attaches to the top of the bed slats.

If you are using a traditional innerspring mattress you may place your mattress directly on top of the bed slats without a Box Spring, Solid Platform or Bunkie Board.

The Solid Platform Bunkie Board may be needed if you are using a foam mattress, thin mattress, older uncomfortable mattress, futon mattress, air mattress, a mattress that requires a solid base or you just want a solid platform underneath the mattress to get a firmer mattress feel. This may also be used if you don't want to see the bottom of the upper mattress when sitting or sleeping underneath or if you want a solid separator between the top and bottom mattresses.

It is also much easier making the bed with the Solid Platform as the bed sheets will not fall in-between the bed slats.

Check with your mattress manufacturer to see if they require you to have a box spring, bunkie board or a totally flat Solid Platform surface to keep the mattress warranty active.

The Solid Platforms are multiple pieces of 1/8" MDF Sheets that covers the entire mattress area.

Plywood Platform

 

Plywood Platform Loft Bed

We have a Plywood Platform available that attaches to the top of the bed slats. If you plan on using the bed as a play or reading space the plywood platform gives you a nice solid top surface. You can then cover it with carpeting or foam mats to make it a nice soft floor. It has multiple pieces of plywood that covers the entire mattress area. It is attached to the top of the Mattress Foundation Bed Slats which are included with the bed.

L-Shaped Bed Connector

 

The L-Shaped Bed is a combination of two separate beds with a Connector between them joining the two beds together. This eliminates the center post giving you a larger open area underneath. The two individual beds may be a combination of loft or bunk beds.

To make a L-Shaped bed you need to select the Connector for the first bed only. The second bed ordered does not need the connector. The first bed in the shopping cart will be considered Bed #1 and the second bed will be Bed #2. If you have any custom specifications you can enter them after checkout.

L-Shaped Beds are perfect for kids sharing a small bedroom where two separate beds will not work out. You can also use one section as a bed and the other for a reading or play area. For a Play Area we will need to add a plywood platform to the top of the bed slats to form a solid top surface. You can then cover it with carpeting or foam mats to make it a nice soft play area.

This diagram shows the Left Side L-Shaped Bed. It can be made in any size and the beds can be different sizes. For example, Bed #1 could be a Queen Loft or Bunk Bed for sleeping and Bed #2 a twin for sleeping, a play area or reading area.

How much space will it take up in the room? Using the diagram you can calculate how much space you will need depending on the size beds you are ordering.
Bed Outside Dimensions: Width: Twin 44" Full 59" Queen 65" Length: Regular 79" XL 84" XXL 88".
