Kids Modern Colors Light Gray Twin Step Loft

This bed has a total height of 50.88 inches, making it an excellent solution for rooms with standard 8-foot ceilings or even the lower clearances often found in finished basements and older homes. To ensure your child can sit up comfortably, we recommend a minimum of 30 to 36 inches of clearance between the top of the mattress and the ceiling.

While the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) generally recommends that children be at least 6 years old before using a loft or top bunk, this specific model is designed as a "low loft." Sitting at a total height of approximately 51 inches, it is significantly lower than a traditional high loft, providing a safer and more accessible transition for younger children while still adhering to standard safety guidelines.

For many parents, a staircase is the preferred choice for safety and ease of use. This design features a reversible staircase with wide steps, offering a larger and more stable surface area for a child’s feet compared to narrow ladder rungs. This is particularly beneficial for safe navigation during the night. Furthermore, the staircase is highly functional, featuring integrated storage drawers in the steps to help keep the bedroom organized.

This low loft is an ideal choice for maximizing square footage in space-constrained environments. By elevating the bed, it creates usable space underneath for a play area or additional storage. Because the staircase includes built-in drawers and can be affixed to either side of the frame, the bed is highly adaptable to different room layouts, often eliminating the need for a separate dresser in a small room.

This bed is engineered with a solid poplar frame. Poplar is a hardwood prized in furniture construction for its durability and resistance to warping. Unlike many metal frames that can develop squeaks or a "wobbly" feel over time, a solid wood frame provides a much sturdier, quieter foundation that can better withstand the energy of an active child.

To maintain the safety and integrity of the guardrails, this loft bed requires a bunkie board rather than a traditional box spring. Using a bunkie board ensures the mattress sits at the correct height, allowing the guardrails to provide the necessary 5 inches of clearance above the mattress surface as recommended by safety experts. This setup provides a firm, supportive foundation while keeping the sleeping profile safe and low.
