  • How to make a Queen Loft Bed with Desk for a Small Room
    A friend of ours recently purchased a new home for his family. The floor layout is nicely done, but the bedrooms are a little smaller than they are use to. So they asked if I could build their daughter a loft bed that would hold her Queen-size mattress.
    This is a total custom design that fits their needs and can be easily copied and modified to fit your needs.

    For everyone asking why she has such a big bed, not every family is rich enough to get their kids the bed they need. We got hand me down beds from them or family, after we grew out of our toddler phase. It's very common to just happen to get it, more than on purpose. And even if it's not on purpose, mattresses last a while. With her age, she will have a bed to take with her when she moves out, which as a parent, is very comforting.

She did me a kindness that has benefited me for over 10 years, well worth it if you ask me.

    I know this video is around 3 years old now, but I want to warn folks that when you put a loft bed in a room with a ceiling fan, you should consider moving the fan mount out away from the bed so that people in the bed won't be struck by the spinning fan if they forget that its there. My daughter got hit in the face with the ceiling fan in her sister's room. The fan blade hit her about an inch away from her eye. The fan was moved shortly afterward.

    I'd recommend somehow securing those slats. Even under the weight of the mattress, they can slide around and create support gaps. You could screw them to the cleat or staple some webbing across them to maintain proper spacing.

    My Fiancée and I have recently moved in with her parents to save up money to buy their house in a few years time when they're ready to move. We only have one room to store the majority of our stuff. We've got a queen size bed with a traditional frame, a three seat couch and two dressers, no closet. As somebody who enjoys my video games occasionally for some downtime as I'm not interested in TV much at all, I am trying to figure out how to gain more space to set up a desk. I got to thinking today about a loft bed, and after a quick search online discovered I don't want to pay $2000 for a flimsy looking steel one. DIY it may be
