Many of our lofts have stairs or ladders to get to the sleeping area. This is an excellent option for rooms that have lower ceilings, or for smaller children. Many kids like the difficulty of climbing a staircase to their bed and it's an enjoyable way for them to play and learn to get up and down from their lofted bed. There are many different styles and different heights of ladders and stairs to suit your space and your child's bedroom decor.

Study Area
Loft beds with desks are becoming popular among college students who live in tiny apartments and dorms. Kids, teens and tweens also have chosen to have them in their rooms at home as they can save space and can be used for both a desk and bed. Studies show that children who have their own desks and study nooks are more organized and have better study habits. They also do better at school.
