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....
