Six year old Alice wanted to "Sleep in the Sky" with all her stuffed animals around her. We built her a custom loft bed to her parent's exact specifications.
We lowered it by 6", added additional safety rails to make them go 10" above the top of the mattress,
a taller solid headboard with double shelves, designed the bottom to be a more open area with custom L-Shaped Legs and used the 20" wide Steps & Open Shelves.
The bed is designed so that the mattress frame can be raised later on as she gets older to a taller loft bed height.
With our solid wood heavy-duty design and 1,000 lbs. of weight capacity the entire family can get into bed for nighttime stories.
If you have a 96" (8') ceiling and are using an 8" thick mattress you will get 36" above the mattress to the ceiling,
the top of the mattress is at 60" from the floor and there is 50" of space underneath the bed slats to the floor.
If you have a 108" (9') ceiling and are using an 8" thick mattress you will get 38" above the mattress to the ceiling,
the top of the mattress is at 70" from the floor and there is 60" of space underneath the bed slats to the floor.
On the order form (see below) you first select the Loft or Bunk option,, then select your ceiling height, mattress thickness and leg height
and we will customize the height to your exact specifications.
You may select either the Solid or Slatted Headboard. On the Order Form you may also add a desk, shelves, corkboard, whiteboard, bench and a table.
We can also customize it.
