Loft Beds

What is the difference between loft beds and bunk beds?

Bunk beds and loft beds are pretty similar, but with one major difference. Bunk beds have two beds stacked on top of each other, perfect for sharing with a sibling.

Loft beds are like bunk beds but without the bottom bed. This extra space underneath can be a super cool play area, a cozy reading nook, or even a place for a desk. Max & Lily has the best loft beds for kids, made from strong, solid wood. Check out Max & Lily loft beds and create a dream room that makes bedtime the best time of the day.

Are loft beds good for small rooms?

Absolutely! Lofted bed frames are fantastic for small rooms because they make the most of your space. A kids’ loft bed with desk is perfect for creating a homework nook without occupying extra space.

If you love adventure, a loft bed with slide adds a fun touch to your daily routine while keeping a small footprint. Plus, a low loft bed with storage helps organize books and toys, making the room look tidy and spacious. These beds are a win-win for maximizing space and adding excitement.

How high should my ceiling be for a loft bed?

For the perfect kids’ bedroom setup, you’ll want the top of your mattress to be at least 33 inches away from the ceiling. This gives enough space to climb up, sit up in bed, and still have room to stretch out comfortably underneath.

Max & Lily low loft beds for kids are 50 inches tall, so you should have ceilings that are about 7 feet tall or taller. Our high loft beds are 68.5 inches tall. Make sure your ceilings are 8.5 feet or taller before choosing one of these wooden loft beds.

What sizes do loft beds come in?

Loft beds are super versatile, and they come in all kinds of sizes to fit your space perfectly. If you're looking for something cozy, a twin loft bed might be just right.

Need more room? Go for a full-size loft bed for extra comfort. Larger loft sizes like full loft beds make the best loft beds for teens who need a little extra room to stretch out.

No matter what you choose, Max & Lily has the perfect solid wood loft bed to make any room a fun and functional space!

Should I choose stairs or a ladder for my loft bed?

Choosing between a loft bed with stairs or a ladder is all about what fits your space and family best. For younger kids, those wanting built-in storage, or rooms that have a bit more space to spare, a loft bed with steps is perfect.

For smaller rooms or older kids who are more confident climbers, a loft bed with a ladder will save floor space. Plus, these beds still give you room for cool extras like a desk or bookcase.
