14 Best Adult Loft Beds That’ll Make Your Space Work for You

If you work remote from a tiny apartment with high ceilings (we're talking at least eight-and-a-half feet), I think you just found your match. This loft bed will help maximize space thanks to its tall construction, complete with a built-in desk and shelves. All you gotta do is climb down a short latter, and, boom, you're in your office space! The desk even features a built-in USB port.

Let's be honest: Loft beds aren't exactly couple-friendly. With only one way in or out (the ladder), and oftentimes low weight capacities, it's not ideal for when you want a ~special someone~ to spend the night. This full loft bed, however, is perfect for overnight guests because of its sturdy, solid wood construction, which can hold up to 600 pounds. It also comes with a built-in desk and three wide shelves, so it's perfect for storage.

Glowing Customer Review: "The loft bed is perfect! The desk has plenty of room to work, and the shelves are great extra storage."

Loft beds are a lot of things...but cute is not always one of them. The Quinn Full Loft Bed from West Elm, however, is prettier than most of my furniture, thanks to the fluted wood detailing on the guardrails. (You can even get a matching dresser and desk to fit under the bed and complete the look!) And—thanks to the height of the loft bed and lack of extras underneath—you can choose to use the space however you want.

The espresso-colored wood makes this loft look so damn elevated, while the built-in desk and streamlined silhouette make it space-efficient and oh-so-functional. Additional features include an easy-to-climb ladder with guardrails and a sturdy design that's built to last.

Glowing Customer Review: "This loft bed is perfect for what I need. This does not have to be just for kids, if that's what you were thinking. The desk at the bottom has more than enough space for me to have two fairly large computer monitors. The bed portion is also very good."

If you love accessorizing your dresser with little knick-knacks, trays, ceramic vases, candles, and other pieces of small decor, this contemporary loft is right up your alley. It's got a built-in desk, several bookshelves, and even a lil bulletin board, so you can decorate it to perfection. Plus, the raised base makes it feel roomy and more...adult-ish, ya know?

Glowing Customer Review: "My boyfriend and I live in a small room, so we're looking for ways to get more space to either do things or put things. The loft bed was easy to assemble, although it does require 2 people to make it easier. It was pretty sturdy, although if you're one of those people who does not like it when your bed shake, you're better off bracketing the bed into the wall."

If you're looking for a large multi-functional piece that the whole fam can enjoy, this loft bed is your best bet. Highlights include a spacious under-bed area complete with an L-shaped desk, plus a bookcase with several shelves, as well as built-in stairs that double as cubbies with deep storage.

Glowing Customer Review: "Love this bed. Sturdy and lots of storage. Takes about a day to assemble, and takes at least two people. Instructions are easy to follow. Have a drill available."

We’ve all been there: A night out with friends, one too many vodka sodas, and before you know it, the birds are singing and you’ve woken up on your friend’s floor still clutching a half-eaten Taco Bell quesadilla. You don’t wanna be the person who lets their friends sleep on the floor, right? Instead, give your guest some comfort with this convertible futon/sleeper and loft bed set. Also, works great for sober guests, like you know, when mom comes to visit.

Glowing Customer Review: "I purchased this bed because I am moving to a room and I wanted to maximize its space, but I still wanted to accommodate guests comfortably every now and then. This bed was spot-on."

I would literally do anything for my dog. And unfortunately for my back, that means scrunching up my body so she can chill at the bottom of my bed while I try to sleep. Instead of sacrificing your comfort as I do, consider swapping out your current bed situation for this loft bed with a pet-friendly cubby to stick your dog or cat's bed. The open space underneath means both you and your fur bb will each get a solid night’s sleep!

Glowing Customer Review: "Everything I was looking for! I built both beds within two days, which took me about four to six hours each. These beds will definitely last many years. Great quality and the instructions were easy to follow."

Just like Four Loko and Kraft Easy Mac, hooking up on a twin bed should be left in your college years (I must confess, I still occasionally crave Easy Mac). This queen-size loft bed by Francis Lofts & Bunks holds up to 2,000 pounds, meaning you and your FWB don’t have to worry about breaking the bed. Rendezvous-approved: check.

Glowing Customer Review: "Bed is excellent for sleeping, binging TV, and, yes, ‘adult activities’...Together we weigh about 500 pounds, and there are no worries about furniture integrity, quality, shifting, or noisiness."

You’ll be feeling Fergie-level *glamorous* with this two-toned white and gold loft bed. Go first-class all the way by adding a bar cart— stocked with all your cutest bottles of wine and a statement chair, ofc—so you can enjoy your nighttime cocktail before climbing up to bed and tucking yourself in for a good night’s sleep.

Glowing Customer Review: "Very solid bed! Takes a little time to build but has excellent directions and every piece is labeled, which made things so much easier!"

Sleep well knowing you’ve done some good for planet Earth on top of your Perch Loft Bed by Oeuf. Not only is this bed made from sustainably-produced materials (and Greenguard Gold-certified), but it looks like it came straight out of the MoMA. What's not to love??

Glowing Customer Review: "The bed is great. It is so sturdy and safe, and the quality seems really high—plus the design looks great, too."

All right, so it's kind of a splurge, but after seeing this multi-piece loft bed set, I can't stop thinking about it. Complete with a loveseat (which I would TOTALLY take the best nap on), media console, and bookcase, you basically have an entire living room underneath your bed. Just add a flat screen, a record player, and some of your fave books (love that for you!) .

A lot of loft beds don't have very comfortable headboards, which is why throw pillows are a necessity. Elevate your loft bed game with a long, supportive body pillow like this cutie. Not only is it chic, but it'll make chilling in your loft bed a lot more comfortable.
