Alice-in-Wonderland

Loft Bed
Bunk Bed


Six year old Alice wanted to "Sleep in the Sky" with all her stuffed animals around her. We built her a custom loft bed to her parent's exact specifications. We lowered it by 6", added additional safety rails to make them go 10" above the top of the mattress, a taller solid headboard with double shelves, designed the bottom to be a more open area with custom L-Shaped Legs and used the 20" wide Steps & Open Shelves. The bed is designed so that the mattress frame can be raised later on as she gets older to a taller loft bed height. With our solid wood heavy-duty design and 1,000 lbs. of weight capacity the entire family can get into bed for nighttime stories.

If you have a 96" (8') ceiling and are using an 8" thick mattress you will get 36" above the mattress to the ceiling, the top of the mattress is at 60" from the floor and there is 50" of space underneath the bed slats to the floor. If you have a 108" (9') ceiling and are using an 8" thick mattress you will get 38" above the mattress to the ceiling, the top of the mattress is at 70" from the floor and there is 60" of space underneath the bed slats to the floor.

On the order form (see below) you first select the Loft or Bunk option,, then select your ceiling height, mattress thickness and leg height and we will customize the height to your exact specifications. You may select either the Solid or Slatted Headboard. On the Order Form you may also add a desk, shelves, corkboard, whiteboard, bench and a table. We can also customize it. Please contact us if you would like to order a customized bed.


Below are pictures of the bed as we built it in our shop.

We also make sure we leave enough room for the safety rails above the top of the mattress. If you have a low ceiling we will adjust the leg height to make sure everything fits properly.

If you have an odd size mattress, a crib mattress, need a custom size to fit into a tight space or a mattress greater than 16" thick please contact us and we will build you a custom sized bed.

The total number of short and long shelves you can use depends on the height of the bed, desk and whether you are going to climb up the built-in end ladder or use the Front or Angled Ladder. We will review your order and contact you if you ordered too many shelves.

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.
