If you are like me, then your bed is more than just a designated spot for sleeping and sex. It is your temporary WFH office, at-home movie theater, makeshift storage unit (as in hide-all-the-sh*t-under-the-bed-because-we-have-guest-coming-over storage unit), reading nook, and dinette all packed into the perimeter of a bedframe. And as convenient as that may be, there is a solution to make the most out of your space while giving your mattress a much-needed break. Enter the loft bed (*choir of angels sing*).

Best of all, the newly found free space your loft bed provides can be tailored to what you need. Need a space to store all those thrifted clothes you told yourself you would definitely wear? Or how about an area to fit that luxury cat tree you have been eyeing up at the pet store. Or, you know, maybe just a place to get some work done that isn’t a flimsy lap desk? Whatever it is, maximizing your space with a loft bed will have you MTV Cribs ready and sleeping like a baby. Take a quick peek at what we're talking about...

Don’t know where to start on your journey to loft bed ownership? We’ve got you covered! Below are 15 adult-approved loft beds that will add style and prime real estate to your space.

It's easy to dismiss your bed as just a designated spot for sleeping and sex, but it's truly so much more. It can be a temporary WFH office, an at-home movie theater, a reading nook, and a snack spot all packed into the perimeter of the bed frame. And that's kind of gross to think about, TBH—especially when there's a way to make the most of your bedroom while also giving your sleeping space a much-needed break. Enter the loft bed, where you can hang out/work/eat takeout underneath your foam mattress instead of on top of it.

What's more, the newly-found free space provided by a loft bed can be tailored to what you need, which is great if you're working with minimal square footage. Need some room to store all those thrifted clothes you told yourself you would definitely wear? Or a desk to get some work done? Whatever it is, maximizing your room with a loft bed gives you the opportunity to get creative by sticking anything from your makeup vanity to a bar cart underneath.

Don’t know where to start on your journey to loft bed ownership? We’ve gotchu. Below check out the 12 adult loft beds that will add fun decor opps and free up prime real estate in your space. Go ahead and ~elevate~ your bedroom with our favorite adult loft beds of 2024 below.

Everiz Twin Solid Wood Loft Bed

The espresso-colored wood makes this loft look so damn elevated, while the built-in desk and streamlined silhouette make it space-efficient and oh-so-functional. Additional features include an easy-to-climb ladder with guardrails and a sturdy design that's built to last.

THE REVIEWS: "Great piece of furniture for a small bedroom. Very solid and has lots of space for school work, art, etc."

Cato Loft Bed

If you love accessorizing your dresser with little knick-knacks, trays, ceramic vases, candles, and other pieces of small decor, this contemporary loft is right up your alley; it's got a built-in desk, several bookshelves, and even a lil bulletin board, so you can decorate it to perfection. The raised base makes it feel roomy and more... adult-ish, ya know?

THE REVIEWS: "So far, it's amazing!!!! Great quality for the price. I did buy anchors to anchor it to the wall because it was a tad wobbly. Easy setup—I’m a small woman and did it by myself in a couple of hours max. Perfect big boy bed to give my son extra space! Would highly recommend it!"

Ennie Full Loft Bed

If you're looking for a large multi-functional piece that the whole fam can enjoy, this loft bed is your best bet. Highlights include an L-shaped desk, a bookcase with several shelves, built-in cubbies with deep storage, a spacious under-bed area, and built-in stairs.

MY REVIEW: This loft is like five different pieces of furniture in one. Aside from the bed and the desk, it's also got several storage cubbies, bookshelves, an empty space for a chair, and sturdy steps for the kids to hang out on.

Modern Farmhouse Low Loft Bed

I would literally do anything for my dog. And unfortunately for my back, that means scrunching up my body so she can chill at the bottom of my bed while I try to sleep. Instead of sacrificing your comfort as I do, consider swapping out your current bed situation for this loft bed with a pet-friendly cubby to stick your dog or cat's bed. The open space underneath means both you and your fur bb will each get a solid night’s sleep!

THE REVIEWS: "Everything I was looking for! I built both beds within two days, which took me about four to six hours each. These beds will definitely last many years. Great quality and the instructions were easy to follow."

Twin-Over-Futon Metal Bunk Bed

We’ve all been there: A night out with friends, one too many vodka sodas, and before you know it, the birds are singing and you’ve woken up on your friend’s floor still clutching a half-eaten Taco Bell quesadilla. You don’t wanna be the person who lets their friends sleep on the floor, right? Instead, give your guest some comfort with this convertible futon/sleeper and loft bed set. Also, works great for sober guests, like you know, when mom comes to visit.

THE REVIEWS: "I purchased this bed because I am moving to a room and I wanted to maximize its space, but I still wanted to accommodate guests comfortably every now and then. This bed was spot on."

Tribeca Solid Wood Low Loft Bed Frame

At just under 4 feet high, this full-size lower loft style bed is ideal for spaces with low ceilings or those afraid of heights (@ me). With over 700 reviews and a 4.5/5 star rating, this lil loft bed is tiny but mighty.

THE REVIEWS: "Almost 1 year with this bed and I still love it. I’m 21, living in a crowded city in a tiny apartment with a roommate. I needed a bed frame that would allow me to use my room as more than just a sleeping quarter. This bed frame is incredibly sturdy, no wobbling or squeaking even when my partner sleeps over (we’re about 400lb combined)! Long story short, get this bed!"

Queen Loft Bed

Just like Four Loko and Kraft Easy Mac, hooking up on a twin bed should be left in your college years (I must confess, I still occasionally crave Easy Mac). This queen-size loft bed by Francis Lofts & Bunks holds up to 2,000 pounds, meaning you and your FWB don’t have to worry about breaking the bed. Rendezvous-approved: check.

THE REVIEWS: "Bed is excellent for sleeping, binging TV, and, yes, ‘adult activities’...Together we weigh about 500 lbs and there are no worries about furniture integrity, quality, shifting, or noisiness."

Adobe Loft Bed

You no longer have to take Zoom meetings from your bed (TBH, I am a big offender of this). Instead, look like the professional that your boss thinks you are, and start taking those meetings under your loft bed. This full-size loft bed features an entire workspace below, complete with a desk and shelves. All you need to add is a lamp and your laptop to make yourself feel (work) at home.

THE REVIEWS: "I love it! The fact that it's a loft leaves me with plenty of room to fit more things in my small apartment room, and supplies me with a sturdy desk area to put my computer and give me an area to work and play games."

Monarch Hill Haven Metal Platform Loft Bed

You’ll be feeling Fergie-level *glamorous* with this two-toned white and gold loft bed. Go first class all the way by adding a bar cart, stocked with all your cutest bottles of wine of course, and a statement chair. Enjoy your nighttime cocktail before climbing up to bed and tucking yourself in for a good night’s sleep.

THE REVIEWS: "It's a great color and I love the GOLD rail. Love the metal look, easy to put together."

Tiffany Storage Loft Bed with Book Case

If you have long been waiting to show off your first edition Twilight series (tbt), or you know, any of your other fave reads, then I have some good news for you. This loft bed features a built-in bookcase that doubles as the ladder. Genius.

There is plenty of room underneath for you to add an accent chair and some string lights, turning your new space into a cozy little book nook. And for those who are not big readers, the shelves work great as a plant sanctuary, shoe rack, or added storage for all your odds and ends.

THE REVIEWS: “I absolutely love it! Very sturdy. Best loft bed I've seen and purchased yet,” writes one reviewer. “Having the shelves double the use as the ladder going up the bed itself, was just brilliant,” writes another.

Hampton Loft Bed

Alright so it's kind of a splurge, but after seeing this multi-piece loft bed set, I can't stop thinking about this whole setup. Complete with a loveseat (which I would TOTALLY take the best nap on), media console, and bookcase, you basically have an entire living room underneath your bed. Just add a flat screen, a record player, and some of your fave books (love that for you!).

MY REVIEW: Though it's quite the investment, this baby is the crème de a crème of loft beds. It’s available in eight different finishes, and each one is made using a combination of high-quality materials that can withstand yearssss of wear and tear. But what really sets this one apart is the underbed space—you can sleep comfortably up top while your bestie has a full lounge set-up underneath.

Perch Loft Bed

Sleep well knowing you’ve done some good for planet Earth on top of your Perch loft bed by Oeuf. Not only is this bed made from sustainably produced materials and GREENGUARD Gold certified (aka it's made without chemicals that could mess with your clean air), but it looks like it came straight out of the MoMA. Oh, and it ships in recycled cardboard packaging!

THE REVIEWS: "I highly recommend these lofts. The quality is great, and I am super pumped they are Greenguard Gold Certified."

How to choose an adult loft bed

Measure. Your. Room. TWICE.

For real, the immense amount of frustration you will feel if your new bed does not fit will only be emphasized as you disassemble it then cry yourself to sleep on the floor. Oh, and do not forget about ceiling fan height too!

Keep ladder configuration and mattress thickness in mind!

Unless you can magically float to the top of your loft bed, you are going to want to pay attention to ladder configuration. Some styles have a fixed ladder that cannot be moved. This is a BIG deal when determining the layout of your space and which loft bed to purchase. And also, be mindful of how thick your mattress is versus the rails. We don’t want you going off the rails. Literally.

Plan ahead if you're a hot sleeper.

Since hot air rises, you might be sleeping warmer in your loft bed. For those hot summer nights, put away the fleece blanket and consider attaching a small clip-on bed fan or installing an oscillating wall fan like this one.

Is there a weight limit for lofted beds?

Every bed will vary, but typically lofted beds built for adult use can hold up to roughly 300 pounds. The beds featured here can accommodate a wide range of capacities, from 150 to 2,000 lbs. Depending on what you're looking for, there's likely an option available.
