Loft Bed Plans

The perfect space-savng solution for teen & college students!  Check out this bed that doubles the space by allowing you to sleep in study in the same floor-space!

These loft bed plans describe how to build a tall loft bed from common lumber and materials. This bed is extra tall meaning that you can get a desk beneath it that a six foot plus person can use while comfortably seated. Standard ceilings are usually 8 feet and this design will fit nicely in such a space with plenty of headspace above on the bed. This is an ideal solution for small apartments and dorms or the kid's room that needs more free floors space. You can build this loft bed with limited or no experience by using our instructions. We detail how to select all of the necessary items needed like wood, screws and finish. The plans cover sanding, drilling, cutting and every aspect that you need to make a nice loft bed like the one in the picture. This loft plan contains simple instructions for making it into a bunk bed and converting it to a loft when needed. If you need to price your project, we have included the materials list below so that you can see what your new loft bed project will cost.

The measurements on the finished loft are; 75 inches tall, by 42" wide, by 81" long with 58 inches clearance below. The space inside (underneath) the bed is 75" in length and 42" in depth. It uses widely available easy to obtain materials and a standard single size mattress. If Extra-long mattresses  are very common in dormitories and other institutions. We have plans available on our Tall Extra Long Loft Bed Plans Page. No elaborate woodworking experience or tools are required. A circular saw, an electric drill, a power sander and a few bits are all that are needed.We have manufactured many such beds and sold them to institutions and dorms. Let me say that they get some hard use and hold up for years.

As for the hardware kit, it is an option since you can buy common hadware at a home store or hardware store to make the loft bed. We only sell high quality factory type screws and lags in our kits.
