Bed Frame: Our beds are made from solid Spruce Wood. Most of our competitors are made from particle board or metal.
Freestanding: Our beds are freestanding and very sturdy with large legs (corner posts). Some of our competitors use very thin lightweight posts and require you to attach the bed to the wall. For example the IKEA STORA webpage says: "WARNING - Serious or fatal crashing injuries can occur from furniture tip-over. To prevent this furniture must be permanently fixed to the wall."
Custom Built: All beds are Custom Built to your exact specifications so it will work with any mattress thickness, any ceiling height and any room size. Most of our competitors require a very tall ceiling and can only hold a thin mattress.
Fast Shipping: We custom build each bed and transit time once shipped is 1-2 days to the East Coast and 5-6 days to the West Coast. Most of our competitors quote 2 - 3 months for custom beds.
Weight Capacity: Our beds are very sturdy and designed for Youth, Teen, College Students and Adults with a weight capacity of 1,000 lbs. per level. For parents that like to read to their child in bed you are going to want the increased weight capacity and sturdiness our beds provide. Most of our competitors beds are designed for young children with a typical weight capacity of 150 - 200 lbs., which includes the weight of the mattress and person. For example Pottery Barn PB-Teen and IKEA beds have a weight capacity of just 200 lbs. If the bed manufacturer does not clearly list the weight capacity, chances are it was designed for very young children.
Mattress Foundation Bed Slats: Our beds come with a complete mattress foundation bed slats which does not require a bunkie board. Most of our competitors beds require you to purchase a separate bunkie board or plywood platform to support the mattress.
Consumer Products Safety Commission: Our beds with the Youth Safety Rails meet the CPSC Consumer Products Safety Commission Guidelines. If the competitors website does not clearly state this, you should contact them to verify it meets the CPSC Guidelines or to see if they have had any recalls. Many of our competitors (including PB-Teen) have has recalls on their Loft and Bunk Beds due to structural failures and safety violations.
Gift Guide.The best present of all for your child is the gift of more space, storage and organization in his or her bedroom. With a loft bed you raise the bed off the floor and utilize the space underneath for a desk, storage or a nice soft bean bag chair to snuggle up and read. When multiple children share a room a loft or bunk bed gives them each more personal space.
Every child's dream, a loft bed with a desk. Lofts typically used by college students in cramped dorms and apartments have recently become very popular with kids, youth, tweens and teens at home. Why? Because they are great space savers and kids of all ages love them. Does your child need space for a desk, a nice quiet reading area, an arts & crafts table or a place to store all their books and games? Do your kids need more space for a play area or for sleepovers? Studies have shown that children with their own desk and reading area are more organized, develop better study habits and are better students throughout school. A loft bed with a desk makes for a nice quiet reading, studying & homework area.
This customer wanted a slide for a small room for a vacation home. He selected a Spiral Slide which takes up less floor space than a long straight slide.
We designed and built a Twin Bunk Bed with a platform to access both the upper bunk and the slide.
The top of the platform is at 62" and we added a Grab Handle to make it easier climbing in.
We do not supply the slide.
It may be purchased at Playstar.
This will open in a new window.

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.
