How to choose the right loft bed with desk?

Categories: Teen/Adult Room

A teen loft bed with a desk is an excellent choice for a teenager's room that lacks space. Indeed, this two-in-one piece of furniture will allow you to enjoy comfortable sleeping quarters as well as a well-thought-out workspace. So, how to choose a teen loft bed with a desk? What are the criteria to consider? We explain everything!

What is a loft bed with desk?

A loft bed with desk is a loft bed wooden that integrates a desk right under the sleeping area. Thanks to the elevated mattress accessible by ladder, you can create two distinct spaces while taking up very little room. Depending on the configuration of different loft beds available on the market, you will also have the possibility to find storage elements to complete the set. It is therefore a two-in-one piece of furniture that includes both a bed and a desk.

Why choose this solution?

The teen loft bed with desk is primarily furniture designed for older children and teenagers. Indeed, the idea here is to integrate a desk into your child's room so they have an adequate space for doing homework, as well as reading, creating, thinking, etc.

It also addresses the issue of lack of space in the room. Indeed, if your child's room doesn't allow you to accommodate a 90x190 cm bed and a desk, the single loft bed with desk will be ideal.

You therefore have the possibility to create a pleasant and practical space, even in a small room. As mentioned earlier, a children's or teen loft bed with desk can also include storage, which proves very practical for storing books, textbooks, and many other things.

How to choose the right teen loft bed?

If you're considering opting for a teen loft bed with integrated desk, we recommend taking several criteria into account to ensure you choose quality furniture. 

First of all, we recommend choosing wooden furniture. Robust, they are durable over time and allow for the use of PEFC certified wood which comes from eco-managed forests. This way, you make a more eco-responsible choice.

To limit your child's or teenager's exposure to volatile organic compounds, we recommend choosing furniture with low formaldehyde materials and solvent-free paints. This is particularly the case with our white and wood DUNE loft bed with desk.

Finally, if you want to preserve the environment and opt for quality furniture, choosing made in France will always be preferable.

How to arrange a room with a loft bed?

Setting up a bedroom with a teen or child's loft bed depends primarily on the space available in the room, the age and tastes of your child. Start by finding the ideal location for your teen loft bed by taking measurements. Note that many of our models allow the ladder to be placed on either the right or left side, offering you a wide range of possibilities.

Then comes the assembly time. Carefully follow the information in the instruction manual and take your time to ensure you don't make any mistakes. Once assembly is complete, all you have left to do is install the teen loft bed in the desired location. You will then finish setting it up by adding a mattress of the right size, bedding, your child's desk items, and decorative elements if space allows.

For the rest of the room, don't hesitate to add a nice rug, curtains, storage for clothes with a dresser and/or wardrobe if possible. Don't forget to add light sources with a desk lamp and perhaps a pretty string of lights for example. Take advantage of these changes to share this moment with your child, discover what they like in terms of decor, and create a space to their taste.

    What age for a loft bed?

    The use of a teen or child's loft bed can only be done from a certain age. French safety standards indeed recommend using a high bed only from age 6. Before this age, the risk of falling is considered too high (more information on this subject here).

    You can therefore use a 2-year-old baby bed until your child is 6 years old, then switch to a teen loft bed that they can use from age 6 until they leave home in principle. It's therefore furniture that you can benefit from in the long term.

    How much weight can a teen loft bed support?

    Regarding the weight that a teen loft bed can support, you should refer to the manufacturer's recommendations on this matter. Generally, a quality bed can support a weight of up to 100 kg.

    How to prevent a loft bed from moving?

    In principle, a loft bed assembled according to the manufacturer's recommendations should not move. If it moves too much, it may have been poorly assembled. It is therefore recommended to check the different attachment points and ensure you have followed the instructions properly.

    Moreover, some loft beds come with an attachment system for wall mounting. It depends on the model you choose. In any case, if your bed moves too much, we recommend contacting the manufacturer for recommendations.
