Product Specifications 

 

Our tongue & groove construction gives the loft extreme support and stability.  End ladders are notched, screwed and bolted to the bed rails.  The loft is assembled with screws and 3/8" carriage bolts, no nails that will come loose over time, this makes for an extremely sturdy loft.

 

We build each loft to your exact specifications, so the bed can use any home or university supplied mattress of any thickness To gain the Maximum Headroom, we customize each loft to fit your exact mattress thickness and ceiling height.  Use our Loft Leg Height Calculator to determine the best height to meet your requirements.

 

Solid Wood - Heavy Duty - Tongue & Groove  Construction

 

The Weight Capacity of all of our beds is 1000 pounds of evenly distributed weight.  With our tongue & groove construction and extremely heavy duty design, it makes our beds one of the sturdiest on the market and will hold up to the toughest youth, teen or college environment.  Remember, the weight capacity includes the weight of the person plus the mattress and foundation.

 

Mattress Foundation/Bed Slats.  All lofts come with a set of bed slats that will fill the mattress area with a 3" gap between the slats.  Our slats are 1-1/2" thick (some of our competitors have only 4 slats that are only 3/4" thick).

 

The 3" gap between the slats allows the mattress to breath and air out, something that is definitely needed in a college dorm room environment...

Wood Specifications.  Our beds are made from kiln-dried heat-treated Western Spruce (softwood).  It is a special grade that is specifically selected for us.  It has fewer knots and the boards stay nice and straight.  The legs are 2x6, front rail is 2x6, back rail is 1/2" plywood, ladder rungs are 2x4, safety rail is 2" MDF.  The safety rails, shelving and desktops are made from MDF, a recycled material.

 

The beds come unfinished ready to be be painted or stained.  We do recommend finishing the bed as unfinished softwood will dry out (or absorb moisture in very humid climates) and surface cracks may appear over time.  Surface cracks will not affect the stability of the loft.  From our customer surveys it appears that most lofts used in homes are painted and most college lofts are left unfinished.  For staining the loft, we recommend using Minwax PolyShades all-in-one stain and polyurethane finish, it does a real nice job on all the boards including the MDF pieces.  If you are looking for more environmental friendly products, consider using Timbersoy from DwellSmart.

 

We require that the loft be assembled within 30 days of delivery.  If left unassembled for a longer period of time, under some climate conditions unfinished wood may shrink or warp and some of the pieces may not fit properly.  The warranty is void if the loft is not assembled within 30 days of arrival.

 

Lofts are not fire-retardant.  If your college requires fire-retardant wood we recommend you use a fire-retardant coating, click here for more information.

 

Note: Mattress is not included and is sold separately.        

 

Can I use your Loft Bed in my college dorm room?                    sample of existing dorm bed

Yes.  Our loft beds were designed to be used in college dorms and off-campus apartments.  Most college dorm beds can be disassembled and the metal spring frame and mattress used on our loft.  For example, with the dorm bed pictured here →

you can remove the headboard and footboard and place the metal frame and mattress on top of our bed slats.  You can store the headboard and footboard behind the loft against the wall and out of the way.

Single & Double Bookshelves and Clock Shelf

 

For example, the loft shown below has a 6" mattress and there is 55" of headroom underneath the front rail.  The student in the picture is 5' 9" tall and when sitting down, has about 6" of headroom from the top of his head to the bottom of the mattress.  From the top of the mattress there is 32" of space to the 8' ceiling above.
