Ivy League 2.0 Walnut Full Step Loft with Chest and Bookcase

This loft bed is an ideal solution for compact urban living or smaller suburban bedrooms because it utilizes vertical space. By combining a full-size bed, a five-drawer chest, and a bookcase into a single 101-inch footprint, it eliminates the need for multiple separate furniture pieces. This opens up significant floor space for a play area, a desk, or additional seating, making a small room feel much more organized and functional.

The Ivy League 2.0 collection is engineered for long-term durability, utilizing solid wood components and high-quality veneers. While weight capacities can vary based on assembly and mattress choice, this full-size loft is designed to accommodate the needs of a growing child or teen. For maximum stability and safety, we recommend using a standard bunkie board to provide a firm, even foundation for the mattress.

The built-in storage steps on this bed offer two primary benefits: safety and organization. The wide, flat surface of the steps provides a much more secure and stable footing than narrow ladder rungs, which is ideal for younger children or groggy sleepers. Additionally, each step features integrated storage, turning what is normally used as transition space into functional drawers for clothes or toys.

Following the safety guidelines established by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), we recommend that children be at least 6 years old before using the elevated sleeping surface of a loft bed. This ensures the child has the physical coordination to navigate the steps safely, particularly during the night.

This bed is designed to be used with a bunkie board rather than a traditional box spring. A bunkie board provides the necessary slim-profile support for the mattress without adding excessive height, ensuring that the safety guardrails remain at their maximum effective height. For the best fit and safety, we recommend a mattress thickness of 6 to 9 inches.

This bed has a total height of 70.5 inches. To ensure a child can comfortably sit up in bed without hitting their head, we recommend a minimum ceiling height of 9 feet (108 inches). If your room has standard 8-foot ceilings, the space above the mattress will be approximately 18–22 inches (depending on mattress thickness), which may feel cramped for older children or teens.
