Loft beds with desks are a great option for your kid’s bedroom, especially if you are tight on space. Choosing a loft bed with a desk is an ideal way to free up floor space and give your child more room for studying, storage, and playing.

Who would benefit from a loft bed with a desk?

Young children with small rooms. Desks allow young children a place to draw, color, and begin to gain independence. While small rooms work great for young children, finding space for a desk can be challenging. A loft bed not only provides space for a desk, it also adds an element of fun to the room.

Teenagers with too much stuff. If your teen’s room is starting to feel cramped, consider getting a loft bed with a desk. This type of bed gives them their own private space for studying and homework without having to give up valuable square footage.

College students and young adults. Do you need somewhere for your son or daughter to sleep when they return home to visit? Or a college grad moving back in for a while? Loft beds with desks are a nice way to accommodate your child allowing them to sleep in comfort, get some studying or work done, and have the space to relax and feel at home.

How much space are you willing to sacrifice?

Desks are a great feature to have, but often it means sacrificing the space underneath the bed. If you really looking to maximize space, loft beds with a hideaway desk give you the best of both worlds.

Unlike traditional loft beds with desks underneath the bed, retractable desks don’t take up valuable floor space providing space for additional storage. The unique retractable desks on our loft beds attach directly to the frame and feature an easy glide track system so the desk effortlessly slides in and out.
