Our
gives the loft
extreme support and stability. End ladders are
,
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
.
To gain the Maximum Headroom, we customize
each loft to fit your exact mattress thickness and ceiling height. Use our
to determine the best height to meet your requirements.
The Weight Capacity of all our
loft beds is 1000 pounds of evenly distributed weight.
Mattress Foundation. All lofts come with a set of mattress
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...

Product Specifications.
Lofts are made from kiln-dried unfinished softwood (Spruce) construction
grade dimensional lumber,
typical of what you would find at a Home Depot, Lowes or local
lumber yard.
The loft is not made from furniture grade lumber. The legs are 2x6, front
rail is
2x6, back rail is 1/2" plywood, ladder rungs are 2x4, safety rail is
2"
.
The safety rails and desktop are made from
.
The loft comes unfinished. It may be
or
, some sanding will be necessary.
We do recommend finishing the loft 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 youth lofts used in
homes are painted and most college lofts are left unfinished. For staining the loft, we recommend using
PolyShades all-in-one stain and
polyurethane
finish, it does a real nice job on all the pine boards including the MDF pieces.
We do require that the loft be assembled within 30 days of
delivery. If left unassembled for a longer period of time, under some
climate conditions the unfinished wood may shrink 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 paint, click
for more information.
Note: Mattress is not included and is sold separately. Most existing
can be disassembled and the frame and mattress used on
our loft, check with your housing department before ordering.
