Raised beds for kids
Sometimes called a high sleeper, a loft bed is a smart, space-saving solution for children and teenagers. With the bed in a raised position, there’s plenty of space underneath for storage, play, and study.
From high sleepers to loft beds with desks, wardrobes, stairs, and storage, you can choose from various styles of loft beds to suit your kid’s needs, here.
The benefits of loft beds
With their raised sleeping platform, loft beds bring many practical advantages, including:
Great versatility: Whether you want to unclutter your children’s bedroom or give them an extra play space, a loft bed is a great choice. In addition to being highly comfortable, they also alleviate storage concerns with ample space to keep clutter to a minimum.
Safety and reliability: Constructed with precision using the highest quality materials, you can be confident in the durability of our loft beds for kids. High rails are fitted as standard so that there’s no risk of falls from height, and we also offer a variety of step and ladder designs to suit each stage of your child’s development.
Budget-friendly choices: All our loft beds for kids are available at affordable prices. We offer big savings across the range, with the option of paying in instalments according to your budget. You can even arrange free next-day delivery of your chosen wooden loft bed.
Considerations when buying a children’s loft bed
Given the great range of benefits, you’re probably all set to buy a kids’ loft bed. Just be sure to think about:
Room size: It’s important to consider the dimensions of your children’s bedroom when choosing a loft bed. For rooms with low ceilings, for example, a loft bed may prove too tall.
Children’s age: Given the raised bed height, kids’ loft beds are only recommended for those aged six and over. That said, safety standard compliance is ensured across our loft bed range, with sturdy ladders and guardrails fitted to limit the safety risk.
Assembly: Each loft bed frame has been designed for easy assembly, with clear instructions for your benefit. We’ll also send your kids’ loft bed flat-packed for easy movement into their bedroom without the worry of bumping into tight corners. Tools such as a screwdriver (or low-powered drill) and a soft mallet will be needed for assembly, along with a mixture of either standard Phillips or Pozidriv heads.
Cleaning/maintenance: Our loft beds can be easily wiped down with a damp cloth. Just avoid the use of harsh and potentially damaging cleaning chemicals.
Types of loft beds
Our loft beds for kids are available in various styles and configurations, including:
Loft beds with desks: Every single loft bed in our collection comes complete with a desk, providing a useful area for your child to finish their work, play games, or relax in private.
Loft beds with wardrobes: Some loft beds can even be found with full-size wardrobes, which offer ample space for clothes and shoes.
Loft beds with stairs: Each loft bed frame is fitted with secure steps for your child to climb with confidence. However, care must be taken during assembly, ensuring that there’s no risk of the ladder slipping out of position.
Kids loft bed materials
As mentioned, each loft bed frame is made using the highest quality materials, with the majority of frames made using a combination of wood and MFC (melamine-faced chipboard).
Loft bed sizes
Our children's loft beds are available in either single (3.0” x 6.3”) or European Single (3.0” x 6.6”) sizes, with some variation in height and ladder configuration. Do bear in mind that, because of their height, these loft beds are only recommended for children over the age of six.
We also offer kids’ beds in the following sizes:
Toddler Beds (2’3” x 4’ 7”): Toddler beds are smaller than standard bed sizes and are designed to be used by children aged one to four.
Single Kids’ Beds (3'0" x 6'3"): Suitable for most children over four years, as well as young teenagers, single kids’ beds are the second smallest size we have available.
Small Double Kids’ Beds (4'0" x 6'3"): Sitting between single kids’ beds and standard double kids’ beds, small double kids’ beds add an extra foot of width, while keeping the same length as a single.
Double Kids’ Beds (4'6" x 6'3"): Double kids’ beds are the largest available. They can comfortably fit two or three sleepers, if needed, with six more inches of width over the small double.
