Mid Loft Bed With Desk
A mid loft bed offers additional space for sleeping or studying, but isn't as high as a bunk bed. These solid wood beds have capacities of 1,000 pounds. They also come with handrails and ladders that are angled 10" above the midsleeper cabin bed.
Select from slat, panel or curved bed end styles and add matching case goods to meet your storage requirements.
Storage
A lofted mattress could provide plenty of storage space. Some beds are placed above a desk with plenty of space for a TV or computer monitor and an office chair, as well as an area to write, draw or type, or perform other school-related or work-related tasks.
Many of our lofts include ladders or stairs to access the sleeping area. This is a great option for children who are young or rooms with lower ceilings. It can be enjoyable for kids to climb a ladder to their lofted bed. The ladders and stairs are available in different heights and styles to suit your room and the decor of your child's bedroom.
One of the most popular options to sleep, study or storage is our Kivik Sand full loft midi bed frame, which comes with a desk and drawers. The top platform is able to accommodate an entire mattress. The lower end has 4 drawers and spacious shelves. These shelves are accessible by lifting the top bunk or lifting the top bunk. The drawers are dovetailed and have solid oak sides, bottoms and metal ball bearing drawer glides. If you require additional sleeping space, a low platform or captain's beds can be added to the set.
Our McQwinn Junior Loft Bed in white with Desk and Storage is a different loft storage solution. The twin size comes with a 3 drawer chest and small desk for students that is tucked beneath, all crafted out of solid birch, with natural finish (also available in Chestnut). The mid-height bunk bed is ideal for children younger than or rooms with lower ceilings. Later on, the loft extender legs can be removed and converted to the standard size twin or twin over full bunk bed as your kids and family expand.

Its sleek lines and simple design are sure to compliment the majority of bedroom themes and its sturdy construction ensures it will stand the test of time.
Reading Nook
The space under a loft bed is an ideal spot to create a cozy reading nook. Add a comfy chair, reading lamp and a basket or bookshelf of books to create the perfect setting for a relaxing afternoon reading a book. Reading nooks that are lofted are great for those who live in a studio or a small space, or have a limited floor space.
A custom mid loft single midi bed allows you to include an enclosed space underneath the bed that can be used for a reading nook, desk or fort. The space can be stained or painted to fit the style of the bedroom. A door and window opening can be included in the frame to provide easy access. This can be accomplished using Twin, Full or Queen-size loft beds. We offer a variety of designs, including one called a Pirate Fort or Camp. Please contact us for more information on this design.
If your child is an avid reader, a loft bed with built in shelving is the perfect solution. Include a comfortable chair to read in and create a space they'll be drawn to over and over. Add a small table to hold magazines and books, or a laptop computer for studying, and they'll be able to read and stay engaged with their favorite reads.
The nook is able to be fitted with adjustable task lighting for optimal reading conditions. This will help to avoid eye strain during long hours of reading. A softer ambient lighting will create a relaxing ambience, ideal for unwinding at the end the day with a good read.
A mid loft is the most suitable option for a reading corner in a child's room because it isn't as high as a bunk bed in middle of room or full size loft bed. Children are less likely to be scared by the height of this kind of loft and will appreciate having their own space for reading, working or playing. Add a fun slide to this bed and your child will be even more excited about spending time in their new space!
Study Area
Loft beds with desks are becoming increasingly popular with college students who live in tiny apartments and dorms. They have also been embraced by kids, youth and teens to create their own rooms at home because they allow them to save space for the bed and study area. Studies have shown that children who have their own desks and study space are more organized, have better study habits, and are more successful in school.
A mid loft bed is the best for this as it allows the sleeping area to be up high and the desk or workstation can be positioned underneath it. A majority of our loft bed models come with a desk, whiteboard or corkboard, as well as five 10" deep shelves. These shelves are ideal for storage and study. We offer a wide selection of footboard accessories like a Desk or Bookcase, and more. These can be added to the bed for additional storage and study space.
A mid loft bed has another benefit that it can be converted into a twin or a full-size conventional bed after taking down the ladder, slide and guardrails. This is a great option for bedrooms that are shared in which each child can have their own space for sleeping and still have enough floor space to play and engage in other activities.
A luxurious mid loft bed can be made more fun by adding the top tent and slide which is a great choice for children who want to add excitement in their rooms. The tent is perfect for sleepovers, and the slide makes it easy to get out of the loft midi bed with wardrobe at late at night. The mid loft bed makes an excellent play area since it's not as high as the high loft bed. It is also easier to manage for children who are young.
Fun!
If your children are old enough loft beds are an enjoyable project for them to work on together. As as there's enough space between the sleeping area and the ceiling (around 2 feet) your children can paint or stain their mid-loft bed in any color they'd like. It's a great way to let them show their personality and style and also give a personal touch to their bedroom.
A mid loft bed is great to create a space for work that can accommodate a desk and a sofa or chair underneath. It can also be transformed into a cozy nook by adding a comfortable bookcase and chair. You can also add a reading light or lamp to create a cozy spot to relax and read your book.
You can still make use of the mid-loft bed for storage, even if you do not need an office or study space. You can increase the floor space with a loft bed to house a matching set of shelves or dressers. Loft beds are ideal for children who have outgrown their Barbie and Fire Truck themed bedrooms and are now tweens or teens.
Include a ladder in your child's loft bed to make it easier for them to climb up to the top. This is particularly important for children with low ceilings. And with an rung for the ladder that is designed to allow for a comfortable climb and a deep drawer beneath each step, they're also an ideal spot to store games and toys.
