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

Solid Wood - Heavy Duty - Tongue & Groove
Construction
The Weight Capacity of all of our
beds is 1000 pounds of evenly distributed weight. With our
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"
.
The safety rails, shelving and desktops are made from
, a recycled material.
The beds come unfinished ready to be be
or
. 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
PolyShades all-in-one stain and
polyurethane
finish, it does a real nice job on all the boards including the
pieces.

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

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.
