When you’re setting up a child’s room or redoing the layout of the room of a growing child, there are so many things to keep in your mind. Where will the child’s toys be stored? Where will the other essentials in the room be stored? How will you maximize floor space? Will the child now or at any other point be sharing the room with a sibling of another relative? Will the child have any space in the room to play, learn and grow?

These are quite a lot of questions to take in all at once, but they are only the beginning of the questions that will roll through your mind when you actually start shopping for furniture. As overwhelming as they can all be in sequence, you will come up with many, many more when you actually get to shopping.

Among the furnishings you will come across in your shopping is a high loft bed, and this article is intended to serve as a short guide to help you determine if one is or is not a good choice for you.

High loft beds appeal to many children because they seem exciting, and, much like bunk beds, will allow the child to sleep high above the ground, as would be the case with the top bunk. However, high lofts are actually different from bunk beds because high lofts typically have only one bed that is high above the ground, with a lot of empty space beneath it. By contrast, bunk beds are typically two beds stacked on top of each other.

This means that without making any alterations to the setting, a bunk bed will give you more space for other kids; that is, a bunk bed will sleep two. By contrast, a high loft bed is intended to only sleep one.

In addition, another difference between the two is that a low bunk bed will not give you any extra floor space. That means that a loft bed will give you a lot of space underneath the bed where otherwise you would have no space.

If you’re trying to figure out if a high loft is a good match for your setting, the general answer is that these types of lofts are useful where you only need a bed for one child and need extra space that otherwise the bed would occupy. They give you more space on the floor underneath the bed, which will save you space elsewhere in the room. Extra space for storage also means extra space elsewhere for the child to play and learn.
