The Best Futon Bunk Beds for Loft Rooms

A futon bunk bed can make a loft room work far harder, giving you a sofa during the day and beds for up to three people at night. In a room with sloping ceilings, the right frame is low in profile, fits beneath the highest part of the roof, and leaves room for the futon to unfold without meeting the eaves. In this guide, we explain how to measure a loft properly, including the roof profile, frame height, futon opening and ladder position. We compare steel and solid wood frames, look at how to choose a futon mattress that works as both a seat and a bed, and cover light, ventilation and heat in loft spaces. We also share ideas for styling the room as a living space, using the low areas under the eaves for storage, getting the frame up narrow loft stairs and assembling it safely once it is in place....

The Best White Bunk Beds for Loft Rooms

Loft conversions create valuable extra bedrooms in many UK homes, but sloping ceilings, rooflights and low eaves make choosing a bunk bed more demanding than usual. White frames are often the most successful choice, because they reflect the angled daylight that enters through rooflights and dormers and reduce the visual weight of a tall piece of furniture beneath a slope. In this guide we explain how to measure a loft room properly, including the area of full ceiling height and how the slope affects headroom along the whole top mattress. We cover where to place the bed, which side the ladder should face, when a lower frame or a mid sleeper may be the better option, and how to manage summer heat and winter draughts near rooflights. You will also find advice on escape routes, wall fixings, getting parts up loft stairs, eaves storage, lighting and keeping white frames looking fresh....

Bunk Beds with Pull-Out Trundles for Loft Rooms

Loft conversions make wonderful bedrooms for children and guests, but sloping ceilings, purlins and knee walls make furniture planning tricky. A low bunk bed with a pull out trundle can give you three sleeping spaces without adding height, provided it is planned properly. In this guide we explain how to find the highest point of your loft room, why low bunk designs usually suit sloping ceilings better than standard frames, and how to plan the trundle's path so whoever sleeps on it can sit up comfortably. We cover mattress depth for each level, making use of the low space beneath the eaves for storage, lighting a room with roof windows and managing heat in summer and draughts in winter. You will also find tips on keeping trundle bedding close at hand, checking that the bed will fit up narrow loft stairs and the safety points that matter most in converted attic rooms across UK homes....
