A Look Into The Future: What Will The Mid Loft Bed Industry Look Like In 10 Years?
Mid Loft Bed With Desk
A mid loft bed offers more space to sleep, study and play but it's not as high as bunk beds. These solid wood beds provide 1,000 pounds of weight capacity and come with an angled ladder that is 10" above the mattress. They also have handrails.
Pick from slats or panels or curved bed ends and then add matching casegoods on your requirements.
Storage
A lofted bed can provide a lot of extra storage space. Some beds are set above a full desk and leave plenty of space for a computer monitor or television screen, along with chairs and workspaces to draw, write or typing as well as other work-related tasks.
A lot of our lofts include a ladder or stairs to get into the sleeping space. This is an excellent option for rooms that have lower ceilings, or for smaller children. A lot of kids enjoy the difficulty of climbing an up-and-down staircase to get to bed, and it can be an enjoyable way to let them play and learn how to get up and down from their lofted mattress. There are many different designs and heights of ladders and stairs to match your room and your child's bedroom decor.
Kivik Sand full-size loft bed with desk and drawers is a popular option for studying, sleeping and storage. The top platform has space for a full size mattress, and the lower end features four drawers with shelves that can be opened by lifting the top bunk or by removing the ladder. The drawers are dovetailed and include solid sides, bottoms and metal ball bearing drawer glides. If desired, a matching low captain's or low platform bed can be added to create an additional sleeping area for siblings or friends.
Our McQwinn Junior Loft Bed in White with Desk and Storage is another loft storage solution. The twin size includes a 3 drawer chest and small student desk tucked underneath and is constructed out of solid birch, with a Natural finish (also available in Chestnut). This mid-height loft bed is perfect for kids younger than, or bedrooms with lower ceilings. The legs of the loft extender are easily removed at a later time to transform the loft bed into a full-size double or twin-over-full bunk bed.
Try the Esport Gaming Series metal twin loft bed with a computer desk to get a modern and sleek design. This loft bed intended for kids is made for a single person, but it is easily transformed into a bunk bed with the optional stairs and guardrails. Its clean lines, simple silhouette and sturdy construction will fit in with the majority of bedroom themes.
Reading Nook
The space under a loft bed can be transformed into a comfortable reading space. You can add a comfortable chair, a reading light and a bookshelf with baskets of books to create the perfect setting to read a book. Reading nooks with lofts are ideal for those who reside in a studio, small apartment or have limited space for floor space.
With a custom mid-loft mattress, you can incorporate a closed area under the bed that could be used as a reading nook or fort. This area can be stained or painted to match the decor in the bedroom. A door and window opening is included in the frame to allow easy access. This can be done in Twin or Full Queen size loft beds. We have a range of designs, including one called a Pirate Fort or Camp. Contact us for more information about this design.
If your child is a committed reader, a bed with loft built in shelves is the ideal solution. Include a comfortable chair to relax in while reading to make it a place they'll be drawn to again and again. Make a small table store magazines and books or a laptop computer for studying and they will have a perfect place to read and stay engaged with their favourite books.
The nook is able to be fitted with adjustable task lighting for optimal reading conditions. This will help reduce eye strain when reading for long periods of time. A soft ambient lighting can create a tranquil ambience, ideal for unwinding at the end the day with a good read.
A mid loft bed is the perfect option for a reading nook because it is not as tall as a bunk or full size loft bed. This type of loft bed is less intimidating to children and they'll be able to relax in their own space and read or work in, or even play. Add a fun slide to this loft bed and your child will be more thrilled to spend time in their new space!
Study Area
Loft beds with desks are becoming increasingly popular with college students who live in tiny dorms and apartments. They have also been embraced by kids, youth, tweens and teens for their own bedrooms at home because they can be used to free up space for a bed and a study space. Research shows that children who have their own study nooks and desks are more organized and have better study habits. They also perform better at school.
A mid loft bed is ideal for this as it allows the sleeping area to be higher and the desk or workstation can be placed underneath it. A majority of our loft bed models come with whiteboard, desk or corkboard, as well as five 10" deep shelves. These shelves are ideal for studying and storage. We have a large selection of footboard accessories like a Desk, Bookcase, and more. They can be affixed to the bed to provide more storage and study space.
A mid loft bed has another benefit that it can be converted into a full-size or twin conventional bed after getting rid of the slide, ladder and guardrails. This makes it a good option for shared bedrooms where kids can each have their own sleeping space and still have plenty of floor space for playing and other activities.
A luxurious mid loft bed can be made more fun by adding an inflatable slide and a top tent which is a great option for kids who are looking for more excitement in their bedroom. The tent is ideal for sleepovers and the slide makes it simple to remove yourself from the loft bed at night. The mid loft bed is the perfect height for a playground because it's not as high as the high loft bed and is more manageable for younger children.
Fun!
Loft beds can be an enjoyable project for your children to complete together, if they're young enough. As long as there's plenty of space between the sleeping space and the ceiling (around 2 feet) your children can stain or paint their mid-loft bed any color they'd like. It's an excellent option to let them express their style and personality and also give a personal touch to their bedroom.
A mid-loft mattress is perfect to create a private workspace, with enough room to fit the desk, chair or a sofa beneath. It can also be transformed into a cozy nook by adding a comfy chair and a bookshelf. Add an reading light or a lamp to create the perfect cosy spot to lose yourself in reading.
You can still make use of the mid-loft bed as storage even if not wish to add an area for study or a desk. You can also double the floor space with an loft bed to accommodate an accompanying set of shelves or dressers. They're also an excellent option for older kids who have outgrown their Barbie or Fire Truck themed bedroom and are now tweens and teens.
Add a ladder to your child's loft bed to allow them to climb up to the top. This is particularly important for kids with low ceilings. And with a ladder rung designed to make it comfortable for climbing and a deep drawer under each step, they're an ideal place to store toys and games.
