The 15 Best Loft Beds for Adults That Are Anything But Childish

Available in seven finishes and two sizes, this bed will surely work in any space, especially since there are so many options. Pottery Barn calls it the Sleep + Study because it features a lofted bed, a desk, bookshelves, and a bulletin board. If you’re looking at this bed and thinking its assembly is way above your skillset, worry not. White glove delivery is included in the shipping cost.

A lofted bed is ideal in a smaller space where you may feel as though you have to choose between a bed, a desk, and even a closet. We have a solution for you that doesn't involve making tough decisions: Get a lofted bed that includes both a desk and storage. Get it in three sizes: twin, twin XL, and full XL, and two finishes. Personally, in a small space, we are always going with the lighter shade because it makes a room feel bigger and brighter.

As its name so aptly implies, AllModern's furniture is inspired by the midcentury modern era, which prioritized function over fashion. Most pieces designed in the wake of World War II lacked overly ornamental details and any unnecessary flair. In fact, so much of the furniture to come out of that time is quite bare. Take, for instance, this piece, which is reminiscent of the furniture in post-war America. It's made entirely of walnut wood, making it one of the most durable options on our list. And yes, the matching ladder is included.

Most loft beds are designed to help you make the most of your space by lifting the most significant piece of furniture off the ground, but this one does all the work for you: It comes with a desk and a built-in wardrobe. So, if you're short on space, try to squeeze this do-it-all find in there because once it's in, you hardly need another piece of furniture except a desk chair.

Most ladders that lead up to the bed don’t feel too sturdy because they’re usually narrow for space-saving purposes. If you need more support, opt for this lofted style that comes with bigger steps and an actual railing that helps guide you up and down. Plus, if you happen to toss and turn a lot in your sleep, you don’t have to worry about rolling off as guardrails surround all sides of the bed.

The open arch under the lofted bed and at the workstation allow light to flow through, which helps your space feel bigger. But should you be really low on space—aka you barely have room for a dresser—this bed will come to your rescue. In addition to a desk underneath, there are drawers to fold up and store your clothes, shelves for your books, and even a desk drawer at your workstation to hold supplies.

Meet the Waverly, with its glamorous, brushed-brass railing, which may seem necessary on a loft bed for adults, but if you tend to move around a lot in your sleep, the fall from more than six feet up will definitely wake you up. The plywood-and-spruce creation’s stark lines and simple white finish will keep it classic for years to come. If you'd like something a bit roomier than a twin, opt for a full.

This elegant lofted bed for adults is available in twin and full sizes and in two finishes: white and natural. Both finishes are designed with the same Danish-inspired kiln-dried solid and engineered wood to prevent warping in humidity and heat. It also accommodates standard mattresses sans box spring, so feel free to snag whichever one you like best. If you want to make it feel extra luxe, opt for a mattress topper, too.

We're all about the bells and whistles, but sometimes minimalism wins. Case in point: this Viv + Rae find, which is on sale for less than $400. It comes with a built-in ladder and desk, but before you start building it, be sure to clear your schedule because assembly will take a few hours.

If we had to pick a favorite, we'd enthusiastically choose this Harper & Bright Designs lofted bed for adults. It is a winning multi-functional piece that works as a bed, desk, cubbies, and dresser complete with four spacious drawers.

On sale for nearly $400 off, this Mack & Milo loft bed for adults is a good find. Complete with a ladder and guard rails, it's another minimalist look that would pair well with pretty much any pre-existing furniture and decor. If a dark espresso doesn't work for you, opt for gray or a misty blue.

The dresser may not come with this sleek midcentury-inspired bed, but the desk does. So if you work from home, this sustainably sourced wooden setup is for you. The best part? You can finish the look without having to leave West Elm because the massive retailer sells everything from bedding to office chairs.
