The above photo shows the most common accessories ordered for youth, teen and college beds. Most common accessories can be ordered directly on the Loft Bed and Bunk Bed order forms. Click on any picture to enlarge.
Accessories may be added to our beds at any time. They may be added either during or after initial assembly. We recommend you order your accessories at the same time you order your bed since there are no additional Shipping Charges for accessory items when ordered and shipped with a bed. If an accessory item is ordered as a separate item (without a bed on the order), please contact us first to get the shipping charge for that item. You may add the shipping charge to the Shopping Cart at the bottom of this page.
Our beds and accessories are unfinished, hand sanded and ready for paint or stain or may be left unfinished. If you need to order multiple quantities you may change the quantity in the shopping cart.

The Floor Storage Drawers are large 20" wide x 7" high x 36" long drawers giving you plenty of under bed storage space. You can place (3) three under the length of the bed and (2) two or (3) under the end of the bed depending on the bed's size. They slide on the floor and either have felt sliders for hard floor or hard sliders for carpets. The floor storage drawers are great for storing extra bedding and for kids storing their toys, Lego Blocks and just about anything underneath the bed. The above photo shown the floor storage drawers underneath the Captain's Bed. They can also be used underneath the Bunk Bed, High-Rise Mid-Height Low Loft Bed and Low Platform Beds.
The Mattress Foundation Bed Slats are a set of 1-1/2" thick bed slats that will fill the mattress area with a 3" gap between the slats. All beds automatically include this option in the base price. Please note, you do not need to supply a box spring, bunkie board or plywood with our beds, you can place the mattress directly on top of our bed slats.
All beds include Bed Slats (with a 3” gap between them) to support the mattress.
We also have a Solid Platform Bunkie Board available that attaches to the top of the bed slats.
If you are using a traditional innerspring mattress you may place your mattress directly on top of the bed slats without a Box Spring, Solid Platform or Bunkie Board.
The Solid Platform Bunkie Board may be needed if you are using a foam mattress, thin mattress, older uncomfortable mattress, futon mattress, air mattress,
a mattress that requires a solid base or you just want a solid platform underneath the mattress to get a firmer mattress feel.
This may also be used if you don't want to see the bottom of the upper mattress when sitting or sleeping underneath or
if you want a solid separator between the top and bottom mattresses.
It is also much easier making the bed with the Solid Platform as the bed sheets will not fall in-between the bed slats.
Check with your mattress manufacturer to see if they require you to have a box spring, bunkie board or a totally flat Solid Platform
surface to keep the mattress warranty active.
The Solid Platforms are multiple pieces of 1/8" MDF Sheets that covers the entire mattress area.
We have a Plywood Platform available that attaches to the top of the bed slats. If you plan on using the bed as a play or reading space the plywood platform gives you a nice solid top surface. You can then cover it with carpeting or foam mats to make it a nice soft floor. It has multiple pieces of plywood that covers the entire mattress area. It is attached to the top of the Mattress Foundation Bed Slats which are included with the bed.
The L-Shaped Bed is a combination of two separate beds with a Connector between them joining the two beds together. This eliminates the center post giving you a larger open area underneath. The two individual beds may be a combination of loft or bunk beds.
To make a L-Shaped bed you need to select the Connector for the first bed only. The second bed ordered does not need the connector. The first bed in the shopping cart will be considered Bed #1 and the second bed will be Bed #2. If you have any custom specifications you can enter them after checkout.
L-Shaped Beds are perfect for kids sharing a small bedroom where two separate beds will not work out. You can also use one section as a bed and the other for a reading or play area. For a Play Area we will need to add a plywood platform to the top of the bed slats to form a solid top surface. You can then cover it with carpeting or foam mats to make it a nice soft play area.
This diagram shows the Left Side L-Shaped Bed. It can be made in any size and the beds can be different sizes. For example, Bed #1 could be a Queen Loft or Bunk Bed for sleeping and Bed #2 a twin for sleeping, a play area or reading area.
How much space will it take up in the room? Using the diagram you can calculate how much space you will need depending on the size beds you are ordering.
Bed Outside Dimensions: Width: Twin 44" Full 59" Queen 65" Length: Regular 79" XL 84" XXL 88".
You may use our Bunk Bed Kit to convert a loft bed into a bunk bed. The kit comes with (2) Rails, (15) Mattress Foundation Bed Slats, (4) 2x6x4" spacers and 2-1/2" screws.
The loft conversion kit allows you to convert one of our existing beds with a new set of legs and rungs. For example, you can convert a bunk bed into two loft beds or convert a high rise to a tall loft bed.
For your existing bunk bed you will remove the bottom bunk (rails and slats) and install them on the legs we provide. You will end up converting one bunk bed into two loft beds.
For your existing high rise bed, this will allow you to convert it into a tall loft bed. This is perfect for young children initially needing a lower loft and moving up to a taller loft as they get older.
Loft Conversion Kits Include:
(4) 39" Legs (4) Rungs Hardware Kit
(4) 72" Legs (8) Rungs (2) Youth Safety Rails Hardware Kit
(4) 84" Legs (10) Rungs (2) Youth Safety Rails Hardware Kit
(4) 92" Legs (12) Rungs (2) Youth Safety Rails Hardware Kit
Shipping cost is not included in the price. Before ordering please contact us to confirm the specifications and shipping cost.
For most of our standard beds, Corner and Rung Braces are not required. However if you have customized it to make it taller or longer or if you want additional bracing then Corner and/or Rung Braces may be added. Also some colleges require all beds to have Corner & Rung Braces. The Corner Braces go on the long sides, Rung Braces go on the rungs at the headboard & footboard ends.
Bench & Arts & Crafts Table. For children needing more play space, desk, table or more storage space this is a nice solution. For college students and adults living in small studio apartments the bed can be used for sleeping above and the table used for your kitchen table, reading or studying. The bed can be made with a table and two benches, or a table with one bench and a wall of bookshelves, highly customizable. For bunk beds the Bench may be installed on the outside of the bed. The bench and table lengths are the width of the bed. The table is 20" wide.
We offer a decorative Trundle Front Panel to cover the Trundle Bed. It is made from 1-1/2" thick clear (knot free) boards (the same material we make our desktops from) and comes with (2) pull handles.
