The 14 Best Loft Beds That'll Double the Size of Your Bedroom

Anyone designing a small bedroom knows the struggle of trying to fit in all of the must-have pieces of furniture: bed frame, dresser, and nightstands. We have a solution: opt for one of the best loft beds ahead, which may be difficult to assemble, but once they're done, they make a massive difference in terms of both room flow and aesthetics in your small space. After all, they free up tons of floor space, which you can use to incorporate a desk, a stationary bike, or anything else you've ever dreamed of using in your bedroom.

So, ahead, take a look at all of what we'd consider to be the best loft beds currently on offer. These range in everything from style to price, but they're consistent in one thing: elevating your bed. So, in terms of function, they're all on par with one another, but you'll get some variety below when it comes to the specific style, material, ease of assembly, and more. We'll say this: Once you sleep higher off the ground than you would on a traditional bed frame, you'll have a hard time reverting back. After all, anything elevated—even slightly—feels more regal, right? So, if you're ready to make your bedroom feel bigger, it's time to upgrade to a loft bed.

ikalido Metal Loft Bed

This bed may not have any cleverly hidden storage space, but it's lofted six feet up, giving you plenty of room to set up a miniature fitness studio or workstation. It also comes in two other colors, including charcoal and turquoise. We, however, think the white looks the most stylish and versatile. You can pair it with pretty much everything. And because it's so pale, it will actually give the illusion of a larger space.

Isabelle & Max Braga Twin Platforms Loft Bed

Most of the lofted beds on this list come with a built-in desk, but if you prefer to choose your own, that works too. The empty space underneath this bed can accommodate a desk of your choice or even a mini couch, if you want to create a cozy lounge space for you and guests. Don't love the fun teal color? This bed also comes in black and white.

GM Ultra Loft Bed With Desk & Storage Stairs

AllModern Ambur Loft Bed

As its name so aptly implies, AllModern's furniture is inspired by the midcentury modern era, which prioritized function over fashion. Most pieces designed in the wake of World War II lacked overly ornamental details and any unnecessary flair. In fact, so much of the furniture to come out of that time is quite bare. Take, for instance, this piece, which is reminiscent of the furniture in post-war America. It's made entirely of walnut wood, making it one of the most durable options on our list. And yes, the matching ladder is included.

Jampooca Loft Bed with Desk and Wardrobe

Most loft beds are designed to help you make the most of your space by lifting the most significant piece of furniture off the ground, but this one does all the work for you: It comes with a desk and a built-in wardrobe. So, if you're short on space, try to squeeze this do-it-all find in there because once it's in, you hardly need another piece of furniture except a desk chair.

Merax Loft Bed With a Stairway

Most ladders that lead up to the bed don’t feel too sturdy because they’re usually narrow for space-saving purposes. If you need more support, opt for this lofted style that comes with bigger steps and an actual railing that helps guide you up and down. Plus, if you happen to toss and turn a lot in your sleep, you don’t have to worry about rolling off as guardrails surround all sides of the bed.

West Elm Milo Full Loft Bed with Desk

The open arch under the lofted bed and at the workstation allow light to flow through, which helps your space feel bigger. But should you be really low on space—aka you barely have room for a dresser—this bed will come to your rescue. In addition to a desk underneath, there are drawers to fold up and store your clothes, shelves for your books, and even a desk drawer at your workstation to hold supplies.

Pottery Barn Waverly Loft Bed

Meet the Waverly, with its glamorous, brushed-brass railing, which may seem necessary on a loft bed for adults, but if you tend to move around a lot in your sleep, the fall from more than six feet up will definitely wake you up. The plywood-and-spruce creation’s stark lines and simple white finish will keep it classic for years to come. If you'd like something a bit roomier than a twin, opt for a full.

West Elm Nash Loft Bed

This elegant lofted bed for adults is available in twin and full sizes and in two finishes: white and natural. Both finishes are designed with the same Danish-inspired kiln-dried solid and engineered wood to prevent warping in humidity and heat. It also accommodates standard mattresses sans box spring, so feel free to snag whichever one you like best. If you want to make it feel extra luxe, opt for a mattress topper, too.

Viv + Rae Nickelsville Twin Loft Bed with Desk

We're all about the bells and whistles, but sometimes minimalism wins. Case in point: this Viv + Rae find, which is on sale for less than $400. It comes with a built-in ladder and desk, but before you start building it, be sure to clear your schedule because assembly will take a few hours.

Harper & Bright Designs Full Loft Bed with Desk

If we had to pick a favorite, we'd enthusiastically choose this Harper & Bright Designs lofted bed for adults. It is a winning multi-functional piece that works as a bed, desk, cubbies, and dresser complete with four spacious drawers.

Mack & Milo Full Platform Loft Bed

On sale for nearly $400 off, this Mack & Milo loft bed for adults is a good find. Complete with a ladder and guard rails, it's another minimalist look that would pair well with pretty much any pre-existing furniture and decor. If a dark espresso doesn't work for you, opt for gray or a misty blue.
