This Ladder design loft bed is part of our Cottage Collection. The name is for the built-in ladder on both headboards.

Colour is in White Stain finish. You can match the white color loft bed with any bedding or existing furniture since there is little variation in pure white color.

Size of this loft bed is Full extra long, which is also known as double extra long. Full XL has the same length as Queen size.

Made of solid Southern Yellow Pine. Yellow Pine is denser than our own BC pine. It is also used in building roller coasters.

Usability

This loft bed comes in 65”H. We recommend to use the 65” version if you have small kids - of 6 year or older - and use the 73” version for teens or adults and if you wish to put a desk under the loft. Both options are fine for a standard 8 foot ceiling.

Ladder loft comes in every possible size. Take advantage of extra long versions for teens or grown ups.

You can add a matching bookcase or desk under the loft as well.

This loft divides into one bed. You technically get 4 headboards with this loft and 3 mattress rails. If you wish to turn this loft into a bunk, or two individual beds, all you need to add is one extra mattress rail and one set of slats. We do sell them separately.

Safety

Our finishes include volatile organic compounds (or VOC's) in their liquid form. These ingredients are used to allow finishes to be applied by spraying. Once a finish is applied the ingredients evaporate during the drying and curing process releasing the VOC's. Finished wood surfaces do not emit VOC's once they are cured.

Ladder loft is perfect for any age. Kids, teens, or adults all can use this loft without a problem. This is because it can hold 400 lbs of weight on the upper loft. To achieve this weight rating, the mattress rail on this loft is a solid and very thick piece of wood without finger joints, just a long solid piece of timber.

Headboard joints are traditional and robust mortise and tenon.

There are 4 metal pings between upper and lower loft. You do not see them, they are inside the wood. They are about 2” in length.

Another cool feature is the complete enclosure of the upper loft. Since you climb from the headboard, there is no need for a large opening gap.

Climbing

The big feature of this loft is the built-in ladder. You do not need an additional ladder, just use headboards to climb. This style of ladder actually is easier to use than a normal ladder. This is because of the extra space you have. It acts just like monkey bars.

Assembly

Assembly of the Ladder Design loft is fairly simple. All 4 headboards and guardrails are assembled. You need to slide in the guard rails, connect mattress rails, and slats.

Slats

Slats are made of solid wood as well. They are 5.5” wide each and you get 9 slats per deck, that is, 9 for lofts and 18 per bunk bed. Space between the slats are roughly 3.5” for single size and a bit more for extra long versions since both sizes use the same number of slats. If you wish to add more slats to reduce the space between them it is possible to buy Individual Slat.

Mattress Size

Standard size mattress fits this loft bed just fine. For the upper loft, you can use a maximum 8” thick mattress.

Price includes a loft bed frame which ladder is part of. We sell mattresses separately as there are lots of choices to choose from.
