Solid Wood Loft Bed w Angled Ladder - Mission Design

Mission Loft Bed

The solid-wood mission-design loft bed is available in two heights and five sizes. It is part of our Cottage Collection, and the name is for its traditional Mission style.

This loft bed comes in 65 and 73 inches in height. We recommend using the 65 version if you have small kids or low ceilings 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.

The mission loft bed comes in every size, including extra-long versions for teens or adults.

Add a matching bookcase or desk under the loft bed for extra storage or workspace.

This loft bed can turn into one individual bed. It includes four headboards and three mattress rails. If you wish to turn this loft into a bunk or two individual beds, add one extra mattress rail and one set of slats, which we sell separately.

Four metal pings are between the upper and lower loft, about 2 inches long and hidden inside the wood.

The prominent feature of this loft is the low footprint due to the thinner headboard compared to our ladder-design loft from this collection. But for the same reason, this loft bed has slightly more sway than the ladder-design loft bed, which is still safe.

Ladder for this loft you can position on the left or right side. Two metal hooks on the ladder you can either screw into the frame or not, so you can easily remove the ladder during the day.

A standard-size mattress fits this loft bed just fine; we recommend a maximum of eight inches thick mattress.

Cottage Collection

We have different collections of beds and bunk beds, and each group has its characteristics. Our Cottage collection has a husky and traditional look and feel, which you may see in a cottage, hence the name. This collection has its roots in Ontario’s cottage country.

In this collection, we use mortise and tenon joinery for most strength. All drawers inside the dressers or nightstands are dovetailed joinery. Our Cottage collection is a lifelong investment; we build them strong enough to last you a long time.

We use durable, non-toxic, low-VOC finishes to make the Cottage collection the clean, healthy choice for your home. All colours are wood stain, not paint, including the white finish. Wood stain is ideal for showing the natural beauty of wood grains. You can also choose unfinished if you wish to apply your colour.

Hardware and Assembly

We use high-quality hardware for this collection. We include the hardware, instructions, and a simple allen key. You will need a Phillips screwdriver and do not need power tools.

Assembly of our Cottage collection is reasonably straightforward. You do not need to assemble the ladders, headboards, case goods and underbed storage drawers. We ship them pre-assembled. Case goods are items such as nightstands and dressers. We recommend two adults for easier assembly and handling.

Solid Wood

Our Cottage collection mainly uses Southern Yellow Pine, the wood of choice on wooden roller coasters. We use premium wood, which is knot-free with no finger-joint pieces for maximum strength, and that is how we can achieve 400 pounds of weight capacity.

For case goods, we use plywood for the back panels and the bottom of the drawers. The case goods' casing, or shell, is solid wood and solid wood veneer for the top part.

Solid wood products, such as bed frames, loft beds, and bunk beds, are robust, easy to maintain, beautiful to look at and retain value.

Bed Slats and Center Support

Slats in our Cottage collection are knotty solid pine. Each slat is 5.5 inches wide, with nine slats per deck. That is nine slats for lofts and bed frames and 18 slats per bunk bed. All sizes use the same number of slats per deck.

Space between the slats is 3.5 inches for single and double and more for other sizes. If you wish to add an extra bed slat to reduce the spacing or as a spare, you can order one individual slat.

We do not use center support for our queen and extra-long beds and bunks in this collection. You must screw in every slat from both ends to the mattress rails, which is sufficient to achieve the strength you need. We add a center support bar to our king-size bed frames in this collection.
